Eh I don't know what anyone has told you about the PvE playtesting thing but that's hardly all sugar and spice either.

It IS better, though.

Of course, my main point was the playerpool they primarily draw from is correct- the teams that clear the most challenging content. For whatever reason they took a different approach with pvp. I have heard some pretty cool stories though from friends that are operation playtesters with the operation PvE dev (his name is escaping me) and his personal interactions with them in-game.

Matt, yeah he's a cool guy

I dont think they took a different approach for pvp though.

I really feel like its more that they took no approach at all and are just trying to wing it.

Probably because they don't have anybody else to work on PvP, nor class balance. When looking at the delay for the last ranked season, as well as all the imbalance or error that they couldn't figure out (lul, «carnage only has two ability in his precision window») I think that those matters are some «last minute changes» rather than the product of some long work. All of this feels like a big joke, an unfinished work made by the bad student of a class, trying to make you believe that he did his homework

As for the PvP playtesting, please we all know it's just a legend. Otherwise the insta-death bug on Rishi arena would be fixed since day one, for example.

No one playing top 10% in other games would come near swtor PvP (and yeah its a bellcurve, so that is a long way). Have fun with that "LEGACY".. We are all taken a breath by your above average status..
This is such an idiotic argument. If the best players left within three months, that means the ones who stayed have had SIX YEARS to play and learn.

I agree with him though.
I played alongside the top of WoW for a while and even though the last of that was back in 2011.. those players were above and beyond anything you come across here even now.

That's not to say they couldn't also play at that level, but the need to improve has been gone for a while and without that people are rather lax. Myself included.

I think if you spend enough time getting to know someones playstyle though I think you can tell who would be capable of keeping up the pace and who would end up left behind.

And from what I've seen.. I think a lot of people in the current "top" would end up left behind.

They top never cared Jack **** about rank. They play games to overcome themselves and leaves, when their is nothing to accomplish. So when the first of them left, rest followed rapidly. And no one playing near top PvP in other games would go play swtor 12 hours a day for half a year. There would be 0 - ZERO challenge left after a 1-2 months, that is how "not high" the top is. There is simply not enough good players for this to evolve either.


The "REG stars" the "Casuals", "The retarded noobs only using basic attack", the "L2Ps" with no clue etc. We just don't care.. and play the game casual/competitive or what ever - we just play. But, we talk to eachother like normal people and not like cringeworthy BETA-males. And the best comments ever! The L2P arguments and sticking them to 1000+ players at a time, every single step of the way and then go complete WHINE-mode about RA.. you have to appreciate irony. And the "Snipers got counters.. Just use Diversion.." - best ever.


And lastly - none of us get offended by not being the top or swtor having no real 1%. We are whatever we are and words don't change it. If the best ranked provided insights instead of more or less null and void input, it would make sense.
Instead of talking out of your butt to some of the most talented players in this game why don’t you play them in ranked. If you think everyone is **** and worthless in their knowledge base in this game it should be a piece of cake. But let’s be honest, You won’t. You would clearly see the difference in skill level/ knowledge level and that’s not the point right? You just want to tell everyone that their bad and their experience means nothing right?

Ps - when you cred mind your old 8v8 “ranked guild” on bc, in a failed attempt to show at one point you might have been decent in this game then bash others for doing the same thing, that’s called being a hypocrite.

If you want to be a casual and play regs all day no one cares. Just be ready to defend your casual opinion to players who have a lot more insight in how the game works mechanically then you experience on the lower level of the spectrum.
