The (Un)Official PVP venting thread.

whats the point of buying/crafting the blue ones when i aim for purple ones.. still i wan to augment the oboran because it it is far much better looking for merc..and to buy oboran you must sacrifice the conqueror so waisted money on augmenting

Nobody that knows what they are doing augment their PvP gear. You get orange shells and pull the mods from the PvP gear to put in it. All you have to turn in is the shells.

i never have any lagg in pvp,ever!! but yesterday in hutball against a couple of thoose rolling operatives i whas lagging out everytime they had the ball,bug or hacking???

14 augment kits 90k*14=1260k

1260k*5 (=my level 55 alts that I pvp with) = 6300k.

Me = Pretty much only playing with my level 55s when I need money to buy some nice adaptive gear/other fluff for my lowbie alts (endgame really isn't my piece of cake, and endgame pve - inclueding dailies - even less) or when someone is gathering a group to do EC SM (only endgame pve I actually like - well, that and Lost Island).

So, with that 6.3 million, I'd rather buy 2 varactyls and some nice adaptive jacket to my sentinel's Doc than augmentation kits. And that's only kits, augmentations itself would be a couple of millions more...
So I run around level 55 warzones in non-augmented, 1/2 pve, 1/4 conqueror, 1/4 partisan gear every time I'm doing those boring dailies once again and need a break from it. You people must hate me. : D

Anyway, what annoys me the most, is probably in Ancient Hypergate, when someone runs to the pylon and caps it, and then just leaves. Seriously. If you run to the pylon, I assume you will also guard it. If you have no intention to guard it, don't run to there just to get more objective points from capping it. Then I know no one is going to get the pylon and can get it myself, instead of thinking "Oh, great, he's got that job covered!" and then realize how wrong I was a few minutes later when the person I set on my focus target is standing next to me...

This is even better when more than one person runs to the pylon to cap it, and none of them stays there to guard it. What's wrong with you people?

people already yell and scream about pvp and anything else all the time in the forums! This thread is just giving random people an excuse to complain and shout nonsense! Half the people I see in the forums posting have no opinion of their own and almost nothing to backup some of their mindless assertions. We don't need a venting thread, from what I have seen the entire forums are being used for venting

Because the blue ones are cheap (7-12k each depending on which one) and it is better to have something than nothing. The difference between a blue and purple is 4 Main Stat and 2 endurance, so 56 Main Stat (4 * 14) and 28 (2 * 14) end less than a person in all purples. Not too horrible when you compare a person who has nothing: 448 MS (32 * 14) and 392 end (28 * 14) less than a person with all purples.

No one will fault you if you can't get all the kits and purple augments right as you hit 55. But you should at least get as many kits and blues as you can to not be a complete burden on your team. Even if you are 200 MS behind it is still better than 448.

The reason everyone is always broke is because they waste all their credits on junk like throne speeders, provocative outfits and veractyls.

You can craft/subcontract MK9 kits before you hit 55 with just about every profession. The main ingredient in MK9 IS slot component. As far as I know, every profession can acquire those by RE. My VG is still at 45 and she pumps them out fast, as well as my Cyber, and they don't even make the actual kits. I have MK9 slots on my sin already, only level 11. You can only use augments for your level, but the MK9 stays present when you hit 55.

Also you should never augment PvP gear as long as you are required to trade it in. Buy orange, augment, move mods.


Sorry, but this is exactly why I am pissed.. L2P...

Edit: Oh, and I should add. My sniper just hit 55. My HP was @ 30k with zero end game augments. Bonuse damage was 1620. /whisper You should be using lvl 50 augments.

That's not entirely true if you mostly level up through pvp and CBA to play the tedious crafting game. All my toons are broke (50-100k each) yet I've never once purchased any of those peripheral items. I'm broke from trying to keep my gear within 5 levels of my toons as I leveled up. PVP rewards are quite stingy with the credits in comparison to pve as I'm sure most of you know.

So yeah sure, I'll take the heat for not wanting to take a couple nights off from pvp to go grind credits but I'm sorry it feels very backwards to me that I need to go pve enough to bank a couple mil in credits just to do end game pvp.

/Facepalm
This is why we need HP and valor checks, especially in ranked. You should be shipped to lowbie if that's the way you want to play, Mr. No-Augmentation Wearer...

You got five toons and can't craft all your stuff or are you just that lazy and inconsiderate?

If you are crafting, you can make some creds selling the component you get from reverse engineering items you craft once you are at 450 crafting and make enough creds to by your slots and augs, or just do slicing up to 450 and then get some sliced tech parts to sell. The cost of those and/or the time to get thme is what makes the cost of those purple augments so high.

If you are not doing any of the crafting nor PvE to make credits, I don't know what to tell you other than it may not be realistic to expect creds to just be handed to you while you just do what you want to do
