Update on Ranked Warzones in Game Update 1.2

and then thought "****! What a waste of money."

so i resubscribe to 1.2 when they finally gave us this HUGE heads up they promised (someone notify Webster dictionary huge now means 3 days notice) about the patch finally being ready and then AFTER i RESUB to your game you go and remove the ONLY good thing about this patch ranked WZ's and ability to Q as 8 man team.... it is bad enough you don't offer server transfers off of your 60% DEAD SERVERS (that's being generous) but now you take away the ability for the small amounts of people remaining on those servers to Q as FULL teams and guarantee some semblance of decent PVP!!!

It is really atrocious how you treat your player base and i dare say it is the worst gaming experience Ive ever been a part of (yes I'm including E.T. for ATARI!!!!!!)

Bioware i suggest you convene the jedi council immediately and start firing some of your staff and bring in people that ACTUALLY care about your player base, not these phony SITH AGENTS (see what i did there) who have mind controlled you into ruining your own game!

In a Nutshell yupz that's exactly what it amounts too !

Yeah, you didn't notice?

If you go into a PVP match and fight your *** off and get 12 badges but your team loses, you get NOTHING. So now people are joining matches, waiting to see if it looks like a *lol* roflstomp and if they think it isn't going to be a win they leave the game and re-que. Then the next sucker gets in and he sees it isn't a win and he re-ques so Bioware sees a lot of people joining games and points to it saying, "Har har har! Look at da people's loving da PVP!!! YAAAAY!!! We did goood!!!"

I see, and when they have all these anime doe eyed characters running around wearing anime armor using anime weapons that do not and will not fit within the lore of the Star Wars Universe you will return here to complain about that too. What we have now is part of the lore of Star Wars. That is fact, unless of course, you want to completely ignore and Retcon what was established back in 1977 with Episode IV. BTW, I'm a father and my kids while in middle school were to busy playing and enjoying computer games to worry about "characters adorned in Space Samurai armor or 1400 century peasant robes." Your argument here is a straw man argument, nothing more.

Not quite, there is no pre season rated warzones, all warzones are working and the new one is in the patch.

The changes to the pvp system if they were for rated would not effect none rated warzones and only rated ones, so the changes are just changes to stop afk people who do nothing in pvp. the medals are easy enough to get.

There has been nothing said about when the rated warzones will come in and your simply guessing its months when we have been told nothing.

And we have no idea what the rewards would have been like in rated warzones on live as the pts was testing it as if it were in season and not pre season.

We arnt able to create premades of 8 but we are still able to make pre mades of 4.

To BioWare,

When Blizzard comes out with "Diablo 3" this May, you will be losing a lot of subscribers. Blizzard is quite accurate with their game play and fans seem to be satisfied. Giving false information and nerfing the casual gamers who modd'ed their gear for their style of game play is not the way to keep your customers happy.

Understandably, we do know why you delayed the 1.2 Ranked Warzones but what i do not understand is the recent nerf of gear that many players feel that are unfair. I have tried the WZ's which is definitely to my disliking.

Personally, I play a focus jedi guardian and from what i can tell, i do a lot less damage than i used too. From what the community knows, is that the jedi guardian class is broken. We have a defensive cool down that mitigates 50% of melee damage BUT only a 25% to force attacks and ranged attacks. That is a load of BS! Most players play the ranged dps class, so i'm usually getting focused down by BH and Sorcerers. In pvp, jedi guardian tanks are completely underpowered vs the jedi shadows.

When i think "guardian" i think of a actual guardian, not some wannabe tank.
When i think "shadow" i think of a ninja-like assassin, not a tank that can cloak and run away from incoming damage.

Since when can a shadow be a better tank than a guardian? Anyone? Shadows have a cooldown(s) that make them invincible for a short while, but even after that they are able to cloak and speed run out of trouble and re-appear to kill someone.

1.2 update came up with a solution for the jedi guardian "problem" in order to fix the class. Focus Defense.....really? A ability that costs 4 focus to activate, which ALSO cost 1 addition focus every time you are attacked to heal you for 3% of your total health? BAH HUMBUG i say. We are getting hit for 1k or more damage in D.O.T. every tick and...we are healed for 200 - 400 health each second that cost us 1 focus? OH COME ON!

All in all, my rambling and complaining has already been heard by the masses by countless unsatisfied customers. I never post anything on the forums. But after hearing all the horror stories and even experiencing these problem, i will post this in order for you to hear. That these are facts.

Guardian: Protector
Shadow: Assassin

Pretty easy concept. Do not get me wrong, i can go on and on about Bounty Hunters spamming tracer missiles and how imperial agents stack power/surge to get that 8k crit every hit. I do not want to overwhelm the many problems you already have.

This is a fun game. But to the true fans of "Starwars" like myself, who wanted to play a jedi knight, I understand how you folks feel. It is unrealistic that a imperial agent can 3 shot a jedi knight of same gear. I mean.....that is DEFINITELY not what happens in the movies.

I am a causal gamer and to all the casual gamers out there....stop wasting your money.

I will probably play Diablo 3 in month, but it's also good to point out that they too had to drop pvp altogether to meet their release date. Just saying..

Hey, BIO... **** all these losers bringing you down. My subsciption end soon and I WILL be signing back up. I am a sage and I think you have done a real splendid job balancing classes out. Now i get to use my sprint to stay alive before i just stood there and owned people. THANKS BIO

P.S. I can tell a lie too.

SHmeh it all just happened so fast 8 man rated pvp was great then some bug came along and ruined it for us all! we were all like suprise suprise **** what will we tell the people?

Well Blizzard is horrible at creating decent PvP also...just look at how bad the PvP in WoW is for example, they have people on an endless treadmill for gear and the mechanics of the actual PvP are so easy that a 6 year old can PvP in WoW and be effective

Maybe one day some "Einstein" of a game designer will make a game where Endgame PvP is NOT a gear grind and instead you get new abilities the higher you get in Rank, ala DAoC's "Realm Rank" system

PvP should not be about gear, gear is PvE thing
