I've played Swtor on and off casually for about a year. I seriously PvPed for my first time last night. I wanted to feel like a bad *** so I rolled a Juggernaut. The forums shouted Vengeance but I said nay.....Rage rolls off the tongue better. Got to level 10, queued for a warzone, and got massacred. The next 3 matches, I told everyone in the ops channel I was a newb and asked if they had any advice. The ops leader asked if I knew how to make pancakes....I said yes...he said do that. At that moment I was determined to figure this **** out if it killed me, so I played for 4 hours straight until eventually everyone on my server fell asleep and queues no longer popped.
Result? I started dying less, earning more medals, winning more matches, and climbing the scoreboards at the end of my matches. Am I a PVP god? Hell no! Was I playing against "bads"? Maybe. But if there's hope for a guy like me then anyone can do it if they put their mind to it.
