Sure be nice if maybe one of the many wonderful SWTOR forum staff could take a moment to leave the RP forums and come bless us with an answer.

I figured you guys would have jumped all over this seeing how they received a rather good representation and screen time on the Fett series. You guys picked up on those lightsabers with the side blow holes rather quickly so I expect some Gamorean guards in some of your upcoming cartel packs. Thanks. If I made any typos or misspellings its because I could not find Gamorean in the dictionary

Those premade teams do so because they want to win instead of be in a group of mindless newbie weekend warrior pvE focused people running around padding their DPS stats so they can gloat at the end of the match INSTEAD of hitting objectives and winning which yields more reward at the end. I prefer both pve and pvp but have really come to see how dumb some of these warzones can be since the merger of pve and pvp servers.

The pvv servers were only like that because Developers purposely created worlds so split and not open enough to allow most to enjoy world pvp. See the one thing that adds excitement for people is the chance to get to attack or be attacked when questing out in the open world. Sure, newbie zones off limits. They purposely made the pvp servers suck in that way. As far as Warzones its hit and miss these days whether you end up with a team of Corkey Thatcher's or people who want more than a med pack and a stim.

I guess the community has really changed since coming back, pve focused people replying in pvp threads is a new one for me. I guess its another reason why separating pve and pvp servers would be a good thing. People out in the world on a pvp server know what they signed up for and on shared worlds there is no sense of excitement that a fight is right around the corner and could happen at any time. That sense of excitement was once a part of this game to a degree but is lost now with the merger of pve and pvp servers people take the easy way out. As far as objective based pvp, it is about pvp and objectives. You are dpsing for a box with a med pack and stim, that's it. I guess the farming of gear when you can easily go hang with your buddies in nim ops and get better gear is something lost on today's crowd. Maybe bioware can fix that little issue . Maybe earn coms for padding your stats with dps, derping in warzones could be some unlock or something.

Since the merger of PvP and PVE severs, what little of world PVP there was has died as people can easily opt out while farming materials or engaging in other practices. So now we depend on structured objective Warzones which means following some simple guidelines if you want to win and not let your team down. 1) Always assume when an alert rings or someone says "help" at a specific location, that someone else will get it. Never take initiative and go to help, always assume someone else will do it . This will allow you to continue mindlessly DPSing people, dying, feeding kills to increase the other teams chances of winning and PADDING your stats so when the DEFEAT screen pops up, you can still be proud you have highest percentage of damage. Even if its followed by 1 kill. 2) NEVER, when guarding, call out INC to y our location. Calling out INC to your location would give your team too much time to get to objective and help out. Its always better to assume that YOU are so special and noticed in that warzone that people will just automatically notice you need help and come help you. 3) Remember its just a game and its made better by people who play to have fun and ruined by people who play to win. Winning a match will only make other people ( the losers upset ) and its good to just relax, play lazy and remember the golden rule in Objective based pvp... Someone else will get that.... win.

Yes, win warzones and some of the purple boxes will give you multiple pieces of 306 gear .

I understand same faction against each other in povp warzones as it can be looked at as practice etc but C'mon having the other faction on YOUR team against members of YOUR faction and same faction? I find it destroys enjoyment and faction against faction lore . Anyone else feel this way?

At what point can we expect you to reverse putting the opposite faction together on same team for pvp? Its just unsettling seeing as those the whole ideal is faction against faction elsewhere with a few interludes of teaming up against a common foe.. Honestly, I have to wonder if that whole formula is what's destroying mmos and giving them a short-term IDEAL membership level. lifespan World pvp is lacking, mixing two different play style servers has all but ruined any chance of that. Most people will always take the easy route combined with no incentive to pvp. I'm just venting some. I came back and its shocking how people have just accepted having pubs on their team and how it somehow does not ruin the whole story or concept of faction against faction. Anyways carry on and yes I know no one is forcing me to play. I figured I would add my 2 credits worth.

I wish I could give you a thumbs up for your post but instead Ill just post here and let you know that I fully support your claim. I hope they fix it soon.

I looked at that spread sheet and it lists them all off but not really in order for bis in a sense that there is no if you want to A than go B If I want to be a glass cannon sorc and do dmg in pvp I need to X.. Ive been looking over that and running across lots of old websites no longer updated because of the popularity of swtor

I figure your pub side and I don't play pub side , I would just like to state that I am happy to see that old guild still around and I'm happy ... Hope you have a cat and remember your cat loves you

Also thru raiding as well, I believe ops drop those ..

I figure since a sorc is a glass cannon you may as well go all the way. The problem is I've been gone 4 years and although it appears easier to min/max because of the variety, its harder trying to find out EXACT what you can stack and what is pointless to stack as far as stats ( aside from endurance) Every time I ask in gen chat I get "google" or "duckduckgo" it and when I do I get old guides for pve sorcs that are outdated due to the site owners being over whelmed from the mass influx and high demand of people seeking answers... Even on this sub forum Im having a hard time finding out what stats like crit etc and what mods, enhancements will take me there. Asking in general chat you get two types of answers. PVE focused people who are very helpful and pvp people who act as though giving you a clear answer is going to make the batteries in their lightsaber shrivel up ... Question: If you want to maximize dmg or spec for rated ( aside from yellow augs ) For a sorc Lightening spec what is considered meta stat wise.. Sub golds for purple as far as augs.

Toxic behavior is already defined as harassment. If you don't like someone you can ignore them. if they happened to miss gender one of your 213761827361genders you can ignore them. if they rolled N on an item not for their class , you can ignore them. Ignore is a powerful tool to allow you and them to enjoy the game with out behaviors that violate your personal safe space policy, definition of hate speech or gender , no matter how many times a week it changes. Suffering from Trump Derangement syndrome and tired of general chat being flooded with Trump talk? /ignore Suffering from random newbies talking about their *****es, Chuck Norris jokes or who did what to whos mom? /ignore Someone not RPing as YOU think they should /ignore Its not that hard and its a hell of a lot easier than real life where you sometimes have to grow up, suck it up and realize that the world does not revolve around you or your life style, play style or gender choice...
