I see tons of new info on New Chapters for KotfE. And new content and obviously crafting last patch. But are the Devs still watching the balance of PvP in the game? There is always a new FOT class that will be overpowered in MMOs but things seems pretty wack right now. Healing is the biggest problem right now, I've seen several matches where one healing sorc can sit on node the entire game and hold it. Even 5 DPS can't kill them. There are some other issues with operatives/scoundrals too but I'm sure that's just typical MMO stuff that gets worked out each patch. But last few patches I've seen, there has been almost no new PvP balancing. Is PvP not a priority for BioWare?

Is there ever going to be any support to prevent players from losing rateds on purpose? I'm up to 8 loses in a row with AFKers and 25k HP players blatantly throwing matches. This makes SOLO QUE completely meaningless, lost over 100 rating due to Trolls in one night!

That is why I made this post. What am I doing wrong? Any good websites or specs that actually work? Jesus dude, why not be helpful? Pre 2.0 I had ZERO issues as a PT (some would even say we were overpowered) but since 2.0 I can't think of a worse class for PvP than a gimpy PT. And all those numbers are spot on accurate, no exaggerations.

OK just gonna lay this out there, I'm sure 10 ppl will come on and tell me how good they are at PT PVP DPS but I cant figure it out. There are basically no good sites to go to that really help this class at all so I post this here. As a DPS PT (either spec) I can't break 300k in WZs. I am wearing full CONQ gear, and here are my stats. Main DMG: 1720 Bonus DMG: 845 Crit: 19.8 Surge: 75.6 AIM: 2966 Also, I can't even hit 6k dmg in a single hit with all my abilities and the exp buff item in WZ. Highest hit ever is 5.6K. Average is usually 4.8k and I know i'm not the only person with this problem, you can see there are RARELY any non-tank PTs in WZs now. Anyone got advice on this, or maybe hope new PvP patch will help us?

Ya well maybe you missed my post. Cuz the conqueror gear is "currently" worse than my EWH gear. Now MAYBE they'll change it soon. But not yet.

I don't see how this is true at all. I use my lvl 50 War Hero gear with some PVE mods and get more EXP and better overall stats. In fact, my EWH blaster does MORE DAMNG AND GIVES MORE EXP than the Conqueror Blaster Pistol (one bought with Ranked Comms). And my EWH has lvl 50 Augment, and the Conqueror has Lvl 55 Augment. I pretty much only PvP. So if they don't fix this soon I'm out.

In the 30-54 Bracket I have 650 Bonus Dmg, 33% Crit and 78% Surge. And there is no way in hell I can solo a healer. A GOOD healer I can't take below 80% Ya, tell me that aint broken.

Yes I noticed the healing too. Here are some things I did to test out these Bolster changes. I stacked the HELL out of endurance and then unequipped any lower lvl gear I had. This gave me max EXP with 60% dmg and about 27K+ HP. But still was doing and taking too much dmg. It was a little bit better as the improved dmg is geared toward the higher lvls with more HP. This is just like all MMO expansions where items increase dramatically over the previous content. Healing is OP currently, and the DMG is to high (or reduction not high enough) as it currently sits. This should be an adjustable value like the PvP content preview stated. So lets get BW to adjusting them sooner rather than later. And to the guy asking if I've played and noticed the MANY bugs BW hasn't fixed. Yes. I have. And I can only hope they will fix this soon, beacuse I only PvP and if this isn't fixed I'll be playing something else.

^THIS That is what PvP is supposed to be, not insta kills.

Not enough Dmg Reduction or too much Dmg Increase from bolster, either way you wanna look at it. I dont care if we all PvP Naked. Just as long as it's not this 3 hit kill system like WoW. I like not spamming just one attack to kill ppl.

I pretty much only PvP in this game, and after trying varying setups with new changes to 2.0 my reccomendation is not to remove bolster (it's always been there BTW) it's the % to Dmg and % to Reduction that are not balanced. At 55 those % will work better to elimate the massive drop off between PvP geared players with new players. But at the two lower brakets that % is too high for dmg (or not high enough for reduction if you wanna look at it that way, half dozen one - six the other) But below 55 the 60% cap is to high and needs to be reduced. And the Devs need our feedback so they know to change this, since the PTS was more focued on the lvl 55 pvp. Now that being said.........keep in mind that the automatic 60% DMG Bolster to those wearing PvE gear needs to be looked at the 55 Bracket as those running around Naked PvPing will tell you that boost is killer. Please stay constuctive in your posts so that the Devs will fix this quickly. All the QQing does no good, as they just read "Waaaaa I lost in PvP". The current setup makes PvP pre 55 the same way WoWs PvP is..........and that sucks. Over-Itemized gear that provides kills in 3 hits is why I dont play those type MMOs anymore. SWTOR provides a better PvP expierence by allowing players to acutally use multiple abilites and strategies in a fight (cept PTs LOL) that keep it fun and interesting. So bolstering PvP DMG to 3 hit kills (a la WoW) is not what most PvPers want.

Yo, Faye here. Had to quit playing for my new job training, gonna give TOR another shot next month if all goes well. (For those I talked to, I did get my airline job) I know most of the Radiant players on Belgoths Beacon have quit.....so where did everyone go? Nexican, Osto, Dekko, Kurt, all the Sith Happens and gIMPs players

Noticed they finnaly fixed the search function on the forums. I know alot of our ex Radiant players on Belgoth's Beacon have hit 50 and starting to run endgame. Nice job guys.

Server forums dont seem to be used as much in the non-roleplaying realms, or where servers are available for more than one character to be created. Policing trolls and ninjas becomes much harder without forums tho.

I am in need of some advice in determining the cause of my insane lag inside FlashPoints. So I am running a Core Duo 3.1 with 2 gigs of ram and Radeon 6800 and Windows XP SP3 I have Comcast 6mb internet that I'm running wirelessly, and my N300 USB adaptor picks up signal strength at 80% and have the graphics turned to their lowest settings ingame. Whenever I am in a FlashPoint my ping goes from an average of 65 MS to 25k MS for about 30 seconds to a minute. This happens randomly and makes instance (FlashPoint) playing impossible. How do I determine where the problem is and fix this? I love grouping and tanking instances but cannot do so in game until this issue is resolved. Thanks for any help in advance.
