Is the "Stun Wars Online" meme falling on deaf ears?

And you made me lol right back.


Incapacitating stun locks are not tactical and not strategic. CC's Interrupts are. Stun locks are a crutch in this game to make up for poor class balance and nothing more.

Take off your rose colored SWTOR fanboi glasses and see what potential SWTOR PvP could be with out stun locks.

The argument is made that only BAD's as you say use stun locks to win.

I think damage should be removed from the game since it only exists to kill my character. And I should be able to opt out of healing since needles scare the **** out of me. OH AND IN WHAT WORLD DOES ATTACKING SOMEONE HURT HIS FRIEND WITH A SHIELD? DOES THAT TANK HAVE A VOODOO DOLL OF HIS BFF IN HIS BACKPACK?!?!?

/sign. Lets get rid of nonsensical and unstarwarsy stuff.

whats crazy , is some pvpers actully defending cc and lockdown while people beat on you. thats how i no it isent ever about skill.i mean come on, if you think swtor isent stun wars you are playing diff game. no stun should hit more then 2 to 3 seconds and they all should break on damage, if sin such great class why does it need the 40 percent health advantage? the two problems in this game by far are stuns, and lack of any defense for classes, you simply die way to fast in this game....if you dont think so, pass whatever you are smoking, or keep wanting the advantage of a certien class, hence why there are million sins in pvp..

Well I spend roughly 50% of my PvP game play slowed rooted knocked back stunned mezzed choked and pushed.

It's absurd the amount of CC in this game and it masks the balance problem that Bioware has with PvP in this game.

Stun locks are easy mode everyone knows it.

As a meele class it's far worse than ranged.

What guild are you in? I'm very familiar with both pub and imp pvp on Jedi Covenant, but I can't quite place your name to a face

If you are playing a game that you don't like...you're going to have a bad time!

If you didn't want to get stunned and killed by 5 people, you should have not attacked a group of five people!

What if I told you...there are other games that exist with out stuns that you could be playing.

I'm going to solo this group of five...aaaaand I'm dead.

Why the ****... do people think that they can't die in this game!

Am I the only around here...who knows how to use cc breaker and defensive abilities and adrenals and medpacks and stays with my team!

I swear people think that only one game exists and that they are forced to play it. When you grow up, you realize you have options in life. They need to fix basketball because of all the taller, faster, stronger, smarter, players are ruining it. Burger King sells burgers? I hate that! They should fix that! ****! Go contribute something. And that's why I hate 20 year olds.

Stuns are almost all 10m range.

Ranged do not typically close distance to 10m to fight. Melee always do.

Hence stuns tend to land on melee. You don't like it, roll ranged and suck on the worse defences when melee close the gap on you.

your point is well taken, but this bit is...c'mmon man. this is the only mmo SW game. wanna play sw? gotta play by BW's CC and bolster bs.

as to the OP's post: they have addressed CC, mostly in a negative way. the limited most ranged stuns. they made flash bang single target. they've added a number of "soft breakers" to each class (stuff that breaks or prevents roots and stuns). they've given just about every spec some sort of interrupt immunity (:roll eyes . and their latest, most truly epic screw up: they took away op/scoun kd. oh yeah. long time ago they "fixed" cc so that multiple CCs of the same toon at the same time didn't stack against resolve. this last one was probably the worst thing BW has ever done. THAT'S the real complaint as far as taking tactics out of CC. there's very little incentive to think before you stun now as compared to pre 1.2? 1.4? and even before that, the game was most known for its stun.

Have you thought of using your stun breaker when you CC meter is white? I never have this problem when i do that.

2.5 years of stun wars. It's a safe bet it's not going to change.
