Answer to guy no. 1: If you are actually hindered killing the guy because he has better gear than you, but you claim you would beat him if everyone had the same gear, why don't you just grind the high rated gear youself? This my fine sir simply made my day People are so dumb on this forum Cant tell if he is truely a troll

Only problem is the skill sealing in the game is so laughably low, they had to make gear "the progression" in the game, simply wouldn't work with skill increase. It's so easy to play your character at atleast 95% effectiveness after a couple of days learning the basic rotations.

Funny thing is, War hero gear is not gonna req valor rank, so why would you waste your own time on farmnig valor by loosing? Stupid waste of time if anyone would do it

Were in my original post do u hint that i think its a bad change?

As the title says, pvp wise, bioware is sorta screwed :/ Think that everyone who likes playing pvp can agree that the change for making max level gear easily obtaintable, without the most insane grind in the world, is a very good thing. Is it too late? Alot of people i know that are serious into playing warzones and pvp in general, either quit pre 1.1 because it was all a grind for valor, or quit after 1.1 due to promis of fixed ilum which was 100% a fiasco and game still beeing about grinding out that valor for dat dat bm gear. This means that the game is stuck with the huge meme's who play pvp to grind valor, and enjoy pewpewing lower geared opponents hard in the face to get the illusion that they are insanely skilled, and the best player on their server. Now they are trying to make every having equal gear (sorta), but the playerbase who really wanted this already quit the game? and the playerbase who despite this are the only ones left? No matter what they do, they are screwed Let pvp beeing about grind and keep meme's or fix pvp, and let meme's ragequit due to handed out gear, and trying to focus on the future of the game. What do you think bioware should do? **FYI, personally have a VR 67 jedi shadow, so im not one of the 13k hp carebears, just wanted to gear handed out, i just like an even playing field in a skill based type of play**

By that logic, when you enter EV normal mode, the difficult of the first boss is determined by a random factor, it might be the difficulty of the actual boss, or it might be the difficulty of soa NMM, no matter what level your gear is. The only way gearprogression would work in pvp is if they made different queues depending on what gear you have, so you would only be matched against players around your gear level. At that point they might aswell give every the same gear, and make progression in ways of titles/cool stuff, or just player skill in general.

FYI, the only way to obtaint Warhero (new best gear) will be from participating in the Rated warzones, this can both be done as solo player or as a group. So its not 100% free, but you dont have to grind the valor atleast.. Bioware ALMOST made pvp about skill entirely, so close :/....

Gear progression in pvp just dont work. Gear progression is something that was invented for PvE encounters, to make sure that you felt that your character was progressing, since your skill as a player couldnt progress, due to your optimal dps rotation is piss easy. Imagine Counter strike, if you play enough you get 200 health, and your weapons do twice as much damage. Do you truely belive that is a good system?

Already cancled my sub, running out in 13 days. But tell me man, do you TRUELY belive that people should grind 6-7days/hour in order to be able to compete in pvp? Do you truely find it funny to kill people with 14-15k ish hp over and over and over and over? Dont your brain have the slightest thought that pvp should be about skill from the moment you enter, and not be about grinding for gear for god knows how long untill you are able to compete? FYI i have a VR 67 toon, i play for fun and the challenge of winning, i like a fair and fun pvp match on equal terms.. Sadly you are the guy who will get 4 medals, and if we are slighty loosing the warzone you are gonna go afk in the corner, or start shouting actively that we might aswell lose the warzone cause this will gain you faster valor in the long run. YOU ruin my pvp experience in SWToR, not the game systems :/... Freely handed out gear, without a grind (not a hard one atleast) is probably the wisest choice from the pvp department since well, the beginning of the development of this game.

People like the OP is exactly the reason why pvp in SWToR is so horrible.. the systems are fine (decent), but the players and their way of thinking is simply just horrible.. The whole "treadmill in pvp", and only playing for gear progress ruins pvp :/. Can we please do pvp cause pve is boring, and just have fun ?

All of these fit SWTOR man, gj

The skill called "Diversion" from the Sharpshooter tree, how exactly is it working in the high end OPS? Was wondering if it works vs all abillities (such as 1st boss EV missile barrage) or only against bosses with melee/ranged auto-attack? If any experienced gunslinger who did alot of operations could elaborate on this *Info - Currently levelnig my GS to play operations with my guild, this is why i wanna know this .. Hope someone cal help
