(From Taugrim.com)SWTOR Has Repeated RIFT’s Mistakes in Endgame PVP

Shh don´t break his bubble..

Oh yes because this game is so full of skill and mara/sent got all these magic buffs that weren't in the patch notes that made them godlike op'ed right?


Guy is probably a pre 1.2 sorc who spammed lightning and waited for the proc for chain lightning right.

Yes Taugrim has experience and he is using his mental ability to turn it into something useful. He has thought about what he has experienced and taken the time to make a lengthy and constructively critical argument about the current state of PvP.

You can do the same if you disagree with his conclusions. So far you haven't tried to refute anything he has said, you have only criticized him for not meeting some arbitrary standard that you have set. Your opinion of his ability, or lack thereof, has no bearing on the actual discussion.

If all you want to do is feel like you're better and more important than everyone else, then I'd suggest therapy to resolve your feelings of insecurity. Perhaps that insecurity is why you've set your color to yellow - you might feel that nobody will pay attention to what you have to say unless you find a way to make yourself more visible.

Do you actually have anything to say about PvP in 1.2 or do you just hate everyone who garners more attention than you?

Just a big EL OH EL to the people asking who is Taug and why they should care what he has to say...

"he's not a top player" lol?! *** does that even mean...

He's spot on as usual. BW repeated mistakes made by many others. They might not have a chance to recover though. While the new games coming out might not be the sole reason people are leaving, they will be the reason people do not decide to come back after BW "fixes" things.

Not really, considering he skipped picking up BM pieces for a shiny weapon.

I love it when people say there is no skill to playing SWTOR. Those are the same people that are free kills in any 1v1 situation with any class.

Also LOL at the above thread. I agree I have played all classess 40+ and marauders are no difficult than the other melee classes except for the fact that they do more damage and have better defense (lolwut).

My main claim to PvP experience is with a top 20 guild for around 2 years in Guild Wars. There was no "gear" thing at all, you just rolled a fully equipped character and played.

I don't get these games where you need to earn PvP gear and stats, it doesn't make any sense. Who would think this is a good idea, it's just weird to me.

Roll a fully equipped character, join your team, go PvP. That is all.

Or skipped picking up MULTIPLE BM pieces. That's why you save comms, not so that you can grab a Warhero piece right away.

Personally I think it would be nice if Bio brought back a Valor requirement for both types of gear. For one this would stop the idiots who refuse to buy Recruit, since then the grind to BM would be a bit longer/they would be out of luck longer since they did not buy their Recruit gear. A Valor requirement on BM gear would also mean Bio could up the stats on Recruit just a touch since people would be in it longer.

It gives more reason to play... Just owning people over and over is getting boring and i'm not full war hero yet so i've slowed down so i can keep playing.

Think you'd be surprised Dmasterr at how bad some people fail when it comes to basic co-ordination. My dad for example, when he played WoW, he'd know the rotations and work out how to get the most damage for mana, heals for mana, burst healing etc.. but then he straight up couldn't press the buttons in time while moving around. He just couldn't press the buttons properly under and sort of pressure - I know some of my friends do the same sort of things where they press the wrong buttons consistently because they play different games all the time and they bring over reflexes from each game to another.

Its perfectly legitimate for someone to be a good strategist but simply not have the mindset or co-ordination to pull it off under pressure or to adapt quickly to the changing environment that is PvP. Someone with 20+ years of experience I would expect more of course.
