Perfect description of Warzone PvP, which isn't really PvP at all. Warzones are CC v CC. The team that can best manage Crowd Control abilities will win any given encounter inside the Warzone environment. The above statement should be in the tutorial which describes what you will experience in the Warzone environment. Actual PvP is very rare. If you are lucky enough to find this elusive activity it will be taking place out in the "Open World". Count yourself lucky if you get to experience actual PvP because it is very enjoyable when all the planets align. Relative equal numbers of the same level in an environment the allows for the use of ALL of your skills, abilities, equipment, and without a questionable (artificial) inflation system. This isn't meant to diminish the coordination abilities needed to be successful in a Warzone, better known as CC v CC. This is only meant to distinguish the difference between the two forms of game play. It's about expectations. Getting facerolled is a part of life. Clearing up your expectations of any given environment will hopefully give you a better understanding of why you get facerolled; e.g., Don't go into a Warzone expecting PvP when it is clearly a CC v CC environment.

WOW! I'm glad you rerolled Imp. I would rather get facerolled all day by Imps than be anywhere near you. Thanks to you I am considering deleting my only Imp toon. lol However you do have a point on one aspect of this garbage you spewed out.. They should just rename this game to "Imperial: The Old Republic" because you're the majority.

Most of the time it breaks from what I observe. I am one of those people who stand behind sorcs that use this barrier, because I AM going to kill them when it ends... SPLAT! Every time. It's just fun for me, sorry! I have however seen a couple of people turn while casting this, but it looks like a keyboard turn. It is slower than I would expect it to be if they were using a mouse turn. I say this because I watched a dude turn in circles while casting, and I was like, "WHOA that's a first". It looked as though what he did was hold down the right mouse button and press A or D because he was turning slow. Then he died, SPLAT!

There really is only one thing left to do... Nerf Operative plz!

I sort of agree with this however I don't have to much of an issue killing healers with my DF Scoundrel. A bad healer goes down pretty fast, a good healer just takes longer. My Combat Sentinel (never played smash, so can't speak to that) is a joke, however it is damn fun to play. I like to just freak healers out on the Sentinel. It has a huge burst making bad healers actually panic, fun times. Good healers freak out a little but usually just lol @ you in the end. The very second a FOTM looks at you.. You're dead. Nerf smash and the whole class goes down the crapper. EAware knows this me thinks.

Priceless! +1

I laughed out loud... Now my co-workers are staring at me.

Saber Reflect: Instant Cooldown: 60s Reflects all direct single target ranged, Force, and tech attacks back to the attacker for 3 seconds. The damage done by each reflect is capped, and the cap rises with each new rank of the ability. It does look like the reflect damage is capped. It says single target attacks, I assume that means it doesn't reflect AOE attacks. No indication as to the amount of reflect damage before it hits cap. I also didn't have any problems reading your post. Good Luck

We got put down like dogs by the nerf police. These people that cry about Smash today can't hold a candle to the complete emotional breakdown QQ that took place back when Operative/Scoundrel DPS trees were viable. People didn't just threaten to cancel subscriptions, no sir. There was full on emotional collapse bordering on suicidal tendencies. I think EAware felt kind of bad about how they overreacted to the QQ, which inevitably resulted is the utter destruction of an entire class, so they made up for it with the heal tree. lol yea.. That makes me laugh a little inside. Needless to say... If you babies want to cry your way to a nerf for Smashers then your gonna to need to up your game. This QQ is just weak. Weak!

Has it ever been established whether or not Expertise works for companions? I think Treek does pretty well, currently in dps aug'd 66 pve gear, heal stance. Was thinking about putting her in full Conq heavy power/surge with a little alacrity on top. Dunno though..

I like all of it.. Great update, thanks BW!

I'm a little confused.. I launched the game and was given a small patch... 300mb or so.. I click play and am currently in game... If I log out now and don't touch it 'til tomorrow I am safe from reinstalling the entire thing? Or am I screwed cause after the small patch I clicked play?

I meant the [Weekly] Spoils of war. Usually its 9 wins to complete it. Now it's 15.

Just got in game and straight off I notice.. No PVP!! lol Also my Weekly Warzone Daily is showing 6/16 complete.. iirc isn't it 9 wins to complete the Weekly?

Screwed up and released it early, maybe? No word because they're all trying to figure out what to do now. However 300mb seems sort of small, doesn't it?
