  1. Wow, did this post get hijacked or what!? Glad you could have your reunion amidst my depressed post though. To So'low: I am glad you are having a good time man, but it sounds like you are getting a lot more competition than we have been getting (even with 30min pops). I think the only times we have intersected is when we start rather early and you stay quite late. But certainly GG's. I think the solution is for either one of our teams to begin gaming in the morning. And you've probably got Buckley's of that happening with the night owls in our team >.<. The post really was directed solely at the pvpers online during the hours of 9pm to 2am Australian eastern standard time. It is an odd hour for the server indeed, but there are still an abundance of pvpers on during these hours, sadly qing groups in regulars WZ's. Since there are obviously concerns about facing <condemned>, we have sadly decided to stop qing on a nightly basis so that everyone feels safe to go and practice. However, comments suggesting that this guild "pooled together the best players during the Australian evening" are ridiculous (albeit flattering). The players in the guild have been together since almost the start of the game (some even before), and I have been with them for well over half a year (a quarter of the games age mind you). And as far as each of us being the backbones of other teams goes, you probably don't want us rage monsters leading you into arenas. F*** ups are met with retribution. So, feel free to stop r aping the poor scrubby entry level pvpers in normal warzones (of which I have noticed an increasing amount of new ones) and queue up for some ranked games. Practice some team compositions, practice your communication. We might just pop in every so often to test how things are going. TL/DR: Come out and play, the scary monster is gone.
  2. This message is solely for pvpers who play during the Australian evening: So arenas have been out for almost one week and already group ranked is a ghost town. There are an abundance of pvp guilds who play during these hours and so far only <SnX> has been qing, and even then only certain players participate. Why? The barrier to entry for ranked has been obliterated now that 8v8 is gone. PVP guilds tend to queue 4 man teams anyway, yet they still will not hover and click on the right side of the pvp group queue. Why? Is it a distaste for the arena format? (I can't imagine that this has developed in less than a week, surely) Is it the sense of comfort gathered from rolling against rando pugs? Or is it fear of being beaten? To this last question I will make 1 point. Many of these guilds have MULTIPLE players on at any given time, and therefore can form multiple teams at once. This has two benefits: 1) you will get to practice both playing together and group compositions that work (and have fun). 2) having so many teams available actually reduces your chance of coming up against teams that you might not want to go up against. I hope to **** that I am not just talking into the wind here and that this post *********** provides you with some conviction to actually push yourselves competitively. Instead of *********** wrecking the kiddie pool every night. I write this on behalf of our guild, but have been informed that this represents the opinion of some of the American guilds such as <Goof troop>, who have been largely forced to fight each other most days. I will leave you with one question. What will it take for you to queue ranked groups?- pay attention here Bioware, cause I have a sense this is is not endemic to The Harbinger.

  4. BUMP. Can we get a dev response to this? Why can we only display 4 buffs on the operations frames? And why are they defaulted to the most non important buffs?
  5. Farking yeah! Me too man. And yes with ground target AOE, just hit your keybind then switch to mouse. It is not like I play on a couch or anything so this is very close at hand.
  6. Wow. You are not bull********? If not, it is good to see I am in good company Kewa.
  7. Hey MLP, I have about 36 abilities all keybound (depending on toon) as well as a few methods of tab targetting (next enemy, enemy in front of me, target of target, friendlies). The trick is just using the triggers and shoulder buttons as modifiers that change what the face buttons activate. I find it is a very effective way of being able to cast and move. Also, there is no issue of keyboard turning since the right thumbstick is actually just is moving the mouse while holding right click. To my clicker buddy above, I am afraid I must disagree in our potential effectiveness simply based on speed of activation. Whilst only being a clicker for approximately 1 day in my MMO career, I can say that the need to move the mouse to activate abilities is just that bit slower. I think this is in part due to the lack of tactile feedback you get with a mouse position. The mouse is constantly changing its position which means that one must constantly reassess mouse positioning when choosing a new ability. Sure, these differences may be small but they do add up. Moreover, considering the amount of abilities off the GCD I have to imagine that this does not help. I'll cite carnage marauders as an example, who have to attack abilities off the GCD. Being able to pop that gore simultaneously with force scream and retaliate just can give a nasty burst spike that is unachievable with clicks (since you can't click three things at once). The same applies for activating defensives as well, being able to activate a defensive whilst still attacking is highly effective. Sorry to go a bit OT there btw, did not mean to begin a war on clicking vs keybinding (that is on the pvp forums atm).
  8. http://www.pixelhunt.com.au/home/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Xbox-Controller-PC.jpg ^ Arguably the weirdest mode of playing SWTOR there is I know, but I feel I have earned my chops in PVP thusfar so I am not too concerned about the potential barrage of insults coming my way. However, if anyone is interested in playing this way too feel free to ask me how. Begin! -Lindooni, Lindothar, Lincat, Nileena...
  9. :BUMP: Ran balanced last night, pugged a few got some more enthusiasm. /Cjoin Harbingerranked and start forming teams Not quitting this idea just yet
  10. Why not allow Full-Auto to also be used to heal allies as well as damage enemies ALA hammer shot. I feel it fits in nicely into the roll of the commando healer as a damage dealer and healer. It would also provide a nice channelled heal for a class where instant heals are lacking. Incidentally, it already fit nicely into "supercharged cell" talent, whereby it is a free cast when this buff is up.
  11. You are implying that these guys are credit farmers and presumably sellers based on their proclivity towards getting credits and their inability to speak English well. That is pretty racist mate. Moreover, I think that SWTOR does not at all have much of a credit selling problem. I rarely get mail anymore offering credits for cash, and I almost never see anyone advertising in general. I can only surmise that the players of the game have simply been quick to report these people and have them banned, also perhaps a lack of interest from the community in buying credits.
  12. I believe server is down tonight...
  13. Cheers for the enthusiasm guys. I have gone ahead and made a channel called "Harbingerranked". Please type /cjoin to this channel on your toons that you want to do ranked pvp with. I already collected quite a few people just after making it. I would ask that the experienced Ranked pvpers please try to be team captains and regularly check the interest of people at any given time for ranked by asking the channel to type 1 followed by their role(s). Then sort the teams accordingly. Please ensure that everyone has mumble, and if the team captains would invite everyone to their mumble channel, that would be great. I sense good things to come of this.
  14. A chat channel might be a nice idea. I'll look into starting one. Insofar as who to contact goes, the idea would be for people wanting balanced to just type the name of the guilds who are complaint into the "who" window and see have them ask a player what is going on. However if you want specific names, I am willing to offer help during the Aussie hours for GI: All toon names begin with Lin. For Synthesis: Just whisper any character with the hauk in the title. All other GM's could you throw out the names of your toons and or officers toons on here?
