So I actually read all the posts in the thread I created....The number one comment was if you need this relic was "if you need it, you suck" and I liked the one that stated "if you need this, don't hit the que button", or something like that.
It must be great to be so good at pvp that you never get burst down...But, if your so great, why aren't all of you GREAT PVPers forming ranked teams and kicking arse?
crickets are starting to chirp now...the ranked seem to still be empty even though there are millions of you elite pvpers out there, or atleast trolling this board...
I liked the fact that pvp was slowed down...its been a pet peeve of mine since day one. We actually had a ald match come down to 10 to zero win. It was probably the most fun match I had ever been in. Outsides were capped and middle was contested the entire match with no caps... We won by sending 7 against the node they possed with a cap blocker left in the middle and no defender on ours...we won with 20 secs left...that's what fun pvp should be...not your dead in 3 seconds even after guard, taunt, and intercede because 7 people focused you and cc locked the rest of your team because the resolve bar is still broke (not touching that one though).
And, for the millionth time, I do not claim to be a great pvper. I would rate myself as average, or a little better than average. For the don't hit the que button comment, where should us average players go so we don't que against you "GODLY PVPers"? They put in ranked matches for all of you god mode players, but your too big of sissies to que up for them so they sit empty...you would rather que as your premades and face roll the average players.
Hell they took the time to apply skill/gear lvls to operations, they should be able to do it for pvp.
I have asked hundereds of times for 2 simple things to improve pvp...then the relics probably wouldn't be needed...
1. cross server ques to space out the premades and face rolls
2. normal ques should be solo only...put the premades in the ranked and 4v4 where they belong...that way if I que for one of those, I have no reason to complain as its my choice. As it stands right now, the only thing I can do is choose to que or not, then soak up a faceroll and get pissed off or leave the match and piss off everybody...I'm sick of the facerolls from premades and I should have the right to choose to face them or not. The relics helped us average player survive a little in what is supposed to be fun. The only thing the relics did was slow down pvp, and since everybody could buy them it was still an even playing field.
On a side note:
I logged off last night after my team took one node and then refused to leave it just so they could get some medals. They said we had no chance of winning so whats the point...the loss would still finish the daily and they could get more medal and coms from guarding then if they were constantly dead. I got pretty mad, but I sat there because ques were slow. How is this fun? Something needs to change...So what does swtor do? they take away an even playing field again and its back to crappy burst....This is not the first time I have run into this so swtor had better take notice. This is what the premades and constant facerolls cause.
Honostly, if I could get "AANNNYYYYYY" reward for open world pvp, I would never set foot in another one of these piece of crap meatgrinders that swtor calls warzones. There is no skill involved other than programming your macros which are supposed to be against the ELUA, and the teamwork consists of "get ready, im going to pull this player so burst them down with your illegal macros...after that, we will have numbers advantage because we got lucky and got off first. >>>>match over.....
For all of the people who are saying ranked are dead so don't do it, the ranked is dead because premades are not forced to use them.
Flame all you want. It doesn't change the fact that I might be right about some of this.
