Turn off shadows, Bloom and AA. That helps a lot. Game doesn't even look any different when you do that. It's more of a PVP issue though obviously, it just can't handle any number of people on the screen at once, and turrets firing.

Not a competent one, no. My premade was something like 99-2. And that was with us rotating players in and out constantly, until everyone got bored and quit this game.

You only need about 2.5 bars for most classes. You should be able to get to 30 just with the keys near your fingers and the shift modifier for those keys. A gaming mouse does help but is not needed for this game.

It only took about 2 years, from ignoring all the beta comments and reports and then ignoring all the subscribers.

There is a game like that. It's called GW2. Not really a smash success but it did okay I guess.

What is the complaint exactly? People aren't complaining when they're getting attacked in PVP, you're complaining they don't attack you first? Just go attack them first then and see what happens. People standing around and ignoring opposing forces sounds like real war to me. Most of the time it's standing there watching the other side and having tenuous communications. The firefights you see in movies and read about in books are extremely rare. If they weren't then the whole world would have been wiped out by now. I'm a former military officer, I think I know war better than some guy playing an MMO lol.

There's also missile blast. I'm pretty sure it hits harder than any of the Sorc/Sage attacks barring FiB and DM. The thing is WZs are not 1v1 affairs so trying to kite one person is a useless endeavor.

I wonder if Bioware will patch this "exploit" out since it actually helps people out. I still think the comm cap is inherently stupid. It should be removed by legacy level or as a hutt cartel unlock.

Haha they'll make it so you can't use backblast/stab on a target in cover. I have a little trick for DPS Scoundrel that seems to increase backshots range but I don't want to write it because Bioware will nerf it if I do lol. I can pretty much guaranteed hit backblast whenever I want to if I'm in melee range of an opponent, absolutely doesn't matter to me one bit if they're facing me.

People don't leave my WZs, they leave yours because of your fail team. L2P.

No worries mate, we all know the Mara buffs and the Sorc nerf are coming, I just love posting that every time though. It cracks me up much more than it should. I have one post where I actually made up new abilities for Mara in the name of PVP balancing, it was a fun thread with lots of hilarious suggestions which Bioware will top somehow or other. I generally also will occasionally post NURF OPERATIVES! Or some joke about "teams of stun locking operatives causing people to unsub." I didn't feel I could work that into my last post though organically so I didn't. I can't take PVP in this game seriously at all. I got geared up once and that's enough for me. Now I just mess around occasionally and that's it.

Simple solution, separate PUGs from Premades, so that PUGs aren't forced to deal with your fail premade that nobody wants to play with.

MMO PUG PVP is serious business!

Just end the WZ when multiple people quit in a row. Don't backfill. One or two people yes, it makes sense to backfill. 3 people gone at the same time? End the WZ, it's obviously not a competitive one. Bioware can't manage to code a different setting for NWZ and RWZ, that's the only reason we have games go on in NWZ now when people quit. It wasn't like that before RWZ was introduced, in 1.4 or whatever it was. Hire some programmers out of India if the devs from the US can't get it done. Or China. Or anywhere that people know math and are competent.

NURF SORC! Bioware I hope you're reading this, clearly all the Sorc/Sage are destroying all the Mara and PTs. That is ridiculous game balance Bioware. NURF SORC! BUFF PT AND MARA! We need to balance this game so PT and Mara can compete with Sorc!
