So I'm a launch day player who has finally decided to get that Operative story line done. I'd never been able to get into the mechanics of either sniper or scrapper, but yesterday I started a Lethality OP and Holy Jesus it's fun. Does anyone know of a current up to date PVP guide? Or at least be willing to share which Heroics and what rotation you are using? Thanks for the help.

Anything that gets rid of Zakuul and returns it to Empire vs Republic.

Thanks, I may roll a pub character over there tonight.

Just curious, how are the pops on JC these days?

Where I'll agree that to the ace pilot gear doesn't matter much, to us mere mortals it cannot be overstated. Allowing someone to collect enough comms to even get a ship half way geared in a relatively short time frame would be a really big deal for most people. Sure they will still get destroyed by an ace, but they will be in the fight a little longer and maybe have a little fun before the re-spawn screen hits. Also having a respec system for those that don't read the forums and waste comms on garbage abilities would be super helpful.

I'm just really creeped out to discover that erp is actually a real thing. I always just assumed it was a joke, that nobody would do something like that. But people are always finding new ways to surprise me.

The lags been crazy for me lately.2 second delay in GSF is making me suck even worse than usual.

Out with the old and in with the new. I like it. Just hope I can get Jaesa on my sentinal.

I played SWG for a long time and my question is....if it was so great why was it every time I logged in there was hardly anyone around?

I think you're confusing the pvp forum with .... oh... every forum on the internet. It's good comedy though so there's that.

After playing a few arenas (unranked) last night I came to the conclusion that it is in fact us. Now I'll admit I'm pretty new to Commando/Merc and most of ya'll have way more experience than me but here's my take. To be at your most effective you need to be in the 20-30 meter range from the fight, any farther and your out of range. any closer and your re-spawning pretty quick. Arena's by their very nature are more closed in making it hard to get your distance right away. Couple that with the fact that there are so many line of sight obstacles in those things it's maddening. Toss in your lack of cc break and root/snare resistance plus the fact that the resolve bar has never...ever worked right and arena's are just a bad deal all around for us. So my first reaction is, if your not going to fix the class at least allow players the opportunity to opt out of arenas. I'd be perfectly fine just playing in 8v8's. Second if you want to fix the class without going hog wild, start with making overdrive work like the PT/VG version. It took a special kind of evil Dev to allow a class that needs to be close to the scrum a way out while leaving a class that needs space with no way out. Or my favorite idea...have jet boost/whatever the trooper version name is just be the max distance like the T2 version and make it irresistable. Full resolve bar, Shadow resist, ... whatever, it doesn't matter, I hit the button and boom your flying. Hey assassin/shadow get irresistable dots, plus an escape. OP/Scoundrel have 2 escapes, Mara/Sent get and escape. And we just stand there like the big redneck kid taking a beat down.

I put medical probe on my tool bar Wednesday and took it back off on Thursday. 1. It eats up too much ammo and takes too long to be of much value. 2. If you're down to standing still to hard cast a self heal your team is either toast or stomping heads there doesn't seem to be much middle ground. 3. If I'm going to spend 2 seconds casting something I'm going to hurl a plasma grenade. That way at least I can watch people burn as I die.

So I returned to the game about six weeks ago and decided to roll a Gunnery Commando. Holy mother of God is it fun!!! Hard mind you, but just crazy fun. If the other team is dumb enough to leave me alone I can do ridiculous damage. Yeah, arena's kind of suck if you get on a not so hot team. You are at your best at 20-30 meters from your target and there's just so much line of sight hiding spots in those things that it makes it hard.

The mmo developers fascination with roots, stuns and cc's have boggled me for years. I just never get why they think it's even necessary much less fun.
