  1. if you dont have pvp gear then any gear 190 and less (so long as any modifiable gear has all mod slots filled) will bolster to 1936 white gear from starter world works and the green 190 kofte gear sells on gtn cheap the 190 works well enough and you can kinda "poor mans" get some stats you kinda want but getting the max expertise is more important than stats pvp 204 is easy enough to get (maybe a weekend of pvp); 208 takes 20kish comms
  2. since you have come to the forums you are heading in the right direction i would venture to pvp forums and read up on the stickies- "how to be a contender"- esp w/ regards to bolster in biowares attempt to make pvp more accessible to players it has made it confusing and contradictory in short, bolster makes any gear (up to rating 190 pve gear) pvp compatible you can bolster pve gear up to 1936 expertise (max non pvp gear) once your pve gear gets over 190 your bolstered expertise begins to nosedive as far as toxicity, well, it is pvp, you are on the forums and probably have a thicker skin than you realize read up on the stickies and keep que'ing fwiw- the peeps raging at you were probably similarly raged at for the same reasons and are just acting out this bolster thing has been a thorn for new players for a couple of years now welcome back
  3. Luckily, i didnt need to go through the bit raider steps because i have already had to deal with that Best advice i got on these forums was to buy a hardcopy of the game from amazon and reinstall (i was lucky that i got a new pc and was able to just start from scratch) This command promt help just worked wonders- didnt speed up tons but it was continuous (though i had to pause/play maybe 2 or 3 times) thanks for fix and to all those who have the bit raider client either follow the instrucions or if you have minimal pc skills- just get the original cd of swtor
  4. about a year ago i was having issues with the bit raider client i checked threads and stopped messing around with things and just bought a hard copy of the game from amazon for $10 never had an issue since with 3.0 or 4.0 or the numerous patches associated with the expansions
  5. i havent played my op's much in 4.0 and yes, their damage/surge has been nerfed and in some ways this makes them even trollier as those knife and punching sounds and laughs just keep coming- instead of being knocked out by a heavyweight it's like a featherweight just constantly peppering; op's are still a nightmare 1v1 esp in fights on nodes when the main battle is away somewhere else- this is their forte other than the stealthers the madness sorc is totally self sufficient; good in 1v1 (except versus those op's who cleanse the dots); good node guards; basically- a jack of all trades whenever i log on my lowbies it is the snipers who run the show there tends to be at least a couple of them and most pug groups fail to focus them for whatever reason for node work- defending, assaulting, delaying- the op is one of the best; throw in the bonus of being one of the better huttball carriers just adds to the trollolrofl factor of this class imo

    Mercs new FOTM?

    since ive been playing this game ('12 ish) it was always stated that mercs were trash so i stayed away from them - then one day i rolled a commando and started q'ing - goodness- the damage output was tremendous; couple this with the constant merc/mando degredation and many peeps didnt even appear to know what a mercmando even was then, as lancelot demonstrates, all the fun runs out when the other team actually decides to pay attention to you (or just that one good jugg or mara) so i guess the merc has a nice novelty factor for the unintiated and they do fine in regs as many know but of all the classes i think the merc is most dependent on a decent team to help them shine- esp at 65- in 10-40 mercs can stomp fo' sho essentially, not much has changed from before but new and old players are playing mercmando and many others are having to figure out what these fiendish glass cannons are all about
  7. Are you going to be exclusively solo q'ing- or will you have a group to q with? If you have a group then anything will work but if you are totally solo then some work better than others The op is taylor made for trolling; if you seek to annoy then go with this- hard to kill and pin down these bastards roll ang giggle their way to top spot on the annoyance ladder Sins/shadows are another lone-wolf class but not necessarily "trolly" The madness sorc is a solo q'rs dream class- "trolly" in the sense that you can face tank and can turn the tide in many pug groups; your dot spread with strong off healing make this class a sort of "field general" where you can definitely impact the game Also- in 10-64 - a sniper can have it's fair share of trolly by putting out insane damage and being tough to get to for most classes early on
  8. To be specific the "vendor" right next to the mission terminal just sells "pve" weapons you can buy with "pvp" comms The "pvp" vendors are the class specific ones in the area behind the terminal- check them out to see what you are working for when you get to 65- this is the real "pvp" gear You do not want to fart around with "pvp" expertise crystals until you get the "uncrystaled" level 65 main hand weapon and focus/shield pvp gear Save all your comms- the only things you want to buy with comms before 65 are wz medpacs and adrenals
  9. Fwiw it is not necessary to upgrade gear if you are just doing warzones The difference in stats between white gear one can get on korriban and "min/maxed" lowbie 190 gear is minimal at best The only "lowbie twink" gear would be if you have the old level 60 pvp gear with the set bonus and 2018 expertise No need to upgrade gear at all unless you find yourself on a planet doing quests and you sense yourself being gimped- for me this might happen around level 41 where i want to power level out of the "cannon fodder" level of the 41-64 bracket For all group finder stuff and pvp warzones level 10 gear and having every slot filled is all you need till 65
  10. http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/1021053879 Whenever my healers get scapegoated I like to read this- especially the part "Jealousy"
  11. OP is demonstrating the need for an ability which allows peeps to insta kill own faction players This ability can be on a 96 hr cd but make it happen yesterday
  12. One thing this permasemimediocre baddie recognizes is on weekends the extremes become more noticeable Way more newbie and noobies in regs- all brackets During the week I can enjoy lowbies- even try to help out but when weekend comes all bets are off- I only solo q- have no friends in game but love wz's and will continue to q but my blood pressure raises considerably sat and sun The problem I'm noticing more and more is the cynicism- what is point of capping and guarding a node when no help ever comes to reinforce it?- for example- so, objective play becomes tedious, unfulfilling, and a waste so why not just treat wz as a derpytrainimg dummy. Unfortunately, many new players just "learn" to facetank mid,south,etc regardless of situation; I also believe many new pvprs have no idea what interacting with nodes even is- "WAT NODZ precious??" I admit I get p.o'd all the time- I'll q on my heals and intentionally run to cap our natural node (because no one else will) and spend the whole time dancing and spamming my heals on myself as rest of team continues to die respawn and charge mid- not to mention spamming heals before wz on "tanks," asking for guard, etcetcetc At the end of the day I don't begrudge premades- it's just on weekends where getting a random team who can play takes much longer on weekend than during the week

    Republic or Empire

    Since one can roll both factions on a server (never liked this btw) get one of each Great players on both sides and plenty of derp to go around Personally, I just care about pops- some servers take up to 30 min for a wz pop others can be less than a couple mins so whichever is popping faster is what I go with
  14. It really seems as though people are surprised other players inhabit their gaming safe zones- who would have thought that grouping (even if only for 30 seconds) could benefit all parties in an mmo One thing to try is to change instances Or you can wish, like I do, that players will receive a "insta kill" friendly player ability- maybe on a one week cd- to vent frustration
  15. Doesn't matter For one- so much of the game is bolstered so level one white gear is fine for wz's and fp's Level appropriate cheapo greenies are more than adequate to fill any gaps for any "on planet" activities you may do I'm of the mind that as long as your slots are all filled you'll be fine- if you start getting into level 40's and higher and are "struggling" with planet mobs then maybe get some gear up to date Since I only pvp many of my sub 65 toons are in their starter greys and whites with left side ear,implants, and relics those ones you get from the starter warzones quest
