  1. I like this idea. Kind of like protecting/attacking a living, mobile turret. It's like a mini-skirmish, and each officer is leading a team to battle. It could even be done in rounds like Voidstar, if they didn't want to have both going at the same time, so there's a defined defend/attack phase. Or, each VIP could have different phases; offensive and defensive. Lots of possibilities.
  2. Does anyone think it's crazy to ask that consumption, rather than take our own life, come from an enemy? It wouldn't have to take a ridiculous amount of life, but I think a lifetap-type ability fits with a sorc. Of course, there'd have to be a longer cooldown on it than the current consumption, which has just the GCD. Or, what about some kind of ability where, you cast it on an enemy, and if they hit you, you regen force faster? Just a couple thoughts...
  3. Ooh! I hadn't even noticed. Time to hop on my sorc! I finally joined the 300k/300k club with him in regs. Hell, I could pull 200 DPS and make this list! That's me: Setting the bar for mediocrity all over the place!
  4. Fair enough. I have two thoughts on this: 1.) If they weren't bolstered, and immediately melted, would that discourage them enough from queuing without gear? 2.) What about instituting an expertise-check? Of course, if I play against you, I think you should always get the folks you mentioned. I somewhat disagree about making it more inclusive. I think, for the most part, the people who are in ranked for the long haul already gear properly for PvP. What bolster does is create loopholes that later get closed, but people who are super "smart" don't realize it's closed. For example, I saw a regstar equip empty shells. Used to work; not so much now. So, rather than optimize, people look for the next (dare I say) exploit. Remove bolster, and you know what your stats are when you queue. On a side note, can we all chill out on our reactions? I know it's not what most people wanted to hear, but at least we heard something. Eric's creating a dialogue. Personally, I'd rather he not regret it. Do we REALLY want to go back to when we got zero dev posts? Bad news is better than no news.
  5. I can appreciate the thought behind this, but this is ranked...To me, that's comparable to NiM ops; you can't walk in with Rakata gear and hope to clear everything. You go in, get your face smashed, then you figure out why. I may be in the minority, but it might actually be a positive to discourage the casual PvP'er from ranked. I see a full 72 geared teammate in regs; no big deal. Ranked, though? C'mon. Bolster gives them the illusion that they're competitive, but it just isn't the case. Am I great at PvP? I think anyone who's played with me will say no. I still would like to think that folks would rather see me in my 2018 expertise rather than a PvE hero with 1500. Unless they're on the other team...
  6. Holy cow...FREE DRINKS??? So, when you coming to Indy? (See, I even remembered you liked the Rakghouls...that's worth a trip this way, right!?!)
  7. Thanks, Eric! I had a couple guildies who were completely oblivious to the KDY issue until I brought it up. I'll take another double XP weekend, though.
  8. Well, call me "nobody". I miss the ranked kickball nights we used to have, even if I was garbage, and was quiet in chat. Who'd have thought one could look back at Preseason and think, "Wow, that was awesome...those were the days?"
  9. You may be the first woman to tell me I had a good point...I may have to steal this for my sig...
  10. Venom = coolest hero ever. Yeah, I said hero.
  11. Well, here's my fail attempt at hybrid sorc heals/DPS: http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc165/moto_xxx199/SWTOR/Screenshot_2014-02-27_21_34_03_129978_zpsad0d3e80.jpg At least it's good enough to be last on the 300K/300K list (Neldiahr, Sorc).
  12. Yeah, that's what I thought. Luckily, I ended up in 3 DPS, 1 tank matches, and I was the only one capable of off-healing for either team. Easily cruised to 4-0. I wish I had that luck more often...
  13. That's reason enough for me. Where do I sign?
