good post.

I'm surprised more commandos aren't running this broken spec. It's like having an extra healer with higher burst/dps than a full assault commando. I have not lost a single game in group 4s or solo all season while using this build, even with my trash teammates.

Ya I'll invite anyone these days, need dat 10% rep boost. Cesc must be rolling in his grave...

Doing rewards by server would not mesh with how transfers currently work.. Players who care enough will be able to simply transfer to a low rated server and keep their ratings. While this wouldn't be difficult to fix, it's hard to imagine Bioware being willing to do any more work than necessary on pvp rewards. I just said top 5 per class to compensate for the discrepancies between servers, TOFN seems to have the most group ranked games and POT5/TOFN are miles ahead of the other servers in solo. Without cross server queues no reward system will be completely fair, but something to reward top players would be better than nothing.

I hate to make yet another post about end of season rewards, but every thread thus far has devolved into a huge whine fest and I'd like my thoughts to actually be read. I believe Bioware stated that they would like the tier 1 rewards to include the top 5% of ranked players which ends up being a mere 1500 rating. Not to be overly dramatic, but this is essentially spitting in the face of every "top pvper." Players sitting at 1500 rating with a 40% win rate in solo will be receiving the same rewards as players with 2700 rating and 80%+ wins. In group there are teams who have never come close to even taking a round off of me who will be receiving the same tier 1 rewards as I will. I can only speak for myself, but this does not feel like a good reward system. Now I understand that there are only a handful of players who take pvp somewhat seriously, and Bioware is catering to the much larger, casual player pool by setting the tier 1 rewards so low. It's a logical path for them to take. Set the bar too high and there will be a ton of whining, hell I've already seen people complaining about ranked even getting rewards in the first place (some people were actually upset that regs were not getting rewarded as well). The 1500 rating is very much attainable and has encouraged new people to queue up, I've noticed noticed quite a few new faces in solo queue today. So it's not all bad I guess... Still I hope there is some compromise to appease us more serious pvpers. I chose rewards for the top 5 players of each class since that is what shows up by default on the leaderboard summaries. Something small like a title would be enough for now and would not upset all the casuals who will still get their sweet rancor. As silly as it might seem, I think most serious pvpers wanted some kind of acknowledgement for all the effort that went into achieving a high rating. It's frustrating to see players who are much less skilled and put in far less effort receive the exact same rewards.

I hope you are compensated for all the endorsements you give to pot5.

We get pops on bastion the majority of time we queue. Granted it's the same couple of teams and its been worse with Breakfast quitting or taking a break again or whatever. Normally we don't start until 10 PST at the earliest, usually closer to 11. This leaves us maybe an hour to play a couple decent teams on POT5 on a good night. Why transfer for the same **** we get on Bastion? The worst thing is that there are a decent amount of players on this server who want to play arenas, enough to make queues somewhat lively. However they just can't seem to form teams for one reason or another. I'd rather do something about that than transfer to farm teams on a different server.

So confident, I like it. Hope you don't quit after a couple losses....

Didn't realize we quit.

if you can't win, quit.

MVP's cleave comp is the only team that has made it past two minutes, I think you're getting the wrong idea. Most teams would probably complain about scoundrel burst being stupidly high. Regardless it's something we only run occasionally, it's far from our primary comp.

Maple wood please, eh?

*** is stormstrike, idiot.

Only thing he's good for is fashion advice.
