True statement here, I was in Ilum and soloed a group of 4 players like a walk in the park. It was great fun and after a while they started to kill me which in the end was a lesson I am sure they learned on how to beat me, a fully augmented War Hero geared out PvPer with a companion in the same gear.

 

People need to understand progression and you can change the system all you want to think you are "even the playing field" but in the end those players like myself that have put in the time to hone there skills to learn to kill other players will beat you and than what will you say?

 

PvP is different from PVE and the reason is because my targets don't follow the same repetitive pattern like PVE bosses do.

 

L2P

And THAT is why I run my dailies in PvP gear and always have at least one companion in PvP gear.

True dat. As it is, the current system makes for people unsubbing as it is no fun when you just want to pop in for a quickie WZ or two.

I'm glad you understand why PVP is dieing and will soon become a wasteland unless something is changed.

Make solo queue's vs solo queue's only.

Make premade vs other premades only.

Make cross server pvp a thing to help bring back life into the PVP community.

So damn true... least competitive online community I've seen. It's a shame really... I feel as if the Star Wars franchise is actually one of this games major faults. Having such a big brand attached to it brings fan boys, KOTOR players and many more who love Star Wars but have no concept on MMO mechanics.

 

Hell... I'm a bit if a fan boy myself and love the Star Wars franchise... but I understand enough of how an MMO functions where it seems most do not. There are too many times that I can solo 2-3 players.... that shouldn't happen and would happen far less in any other MMO from my experience. I'm pretty good... but far from the best. Too many people in this community just really have no clue on how to play.

 

The way I see it... the ones who understand MMO's are ruining it for the casuals who have no clue and vice versa. This isn't as frequent in any other MMO that I HAVE played. Again... if this were some well publicized no name MMO instead of a Star Wars product.... I think we'd have a much more competitive community.

 

All just opinion of course.

I will respectfully disagree on one of your points here (and having read many posts by you that is not generally the case and this is not directed at you). I'd never played an MMO before this. I played because of the Star Wars, KOTOR affiliation. I never intended to get into PVP at all, just do the stories and maybe group up with a few friends from work for a flashpoint every now and then.

I won't claim to be the best player on my server/class/world, but I'd say I'm firmly in the doesn't suck category of PVP . It's not that the segment of people that the product enticed to play is incapable of doing the same, it's that there are quite a few barriers that have to be broken through.

1) BW's idea of tutorials teaches a new player absolutely nothing about the true way to play a game. Even with the update, they are hardly helpful to someone new to the MMO genre as a whole. I had to dig through forums, 3rd party websites and beg players for help along the way and 75% of the world is too lazy to do anything of the sort.

2) Players who know what's going on are usually happier trolling than actually helping a player get somewhere. I pray for the poor souls who come into this game without knowing anyone who is already established. I didn't even know that you could keybind more abilities until I was at 50 (thank god my first toon was a sorc, which can totally be decent in warzone healing with clicking btw).

3) The top teams, in general, aren't willing to take on bad players for fear of making their guild look bad. I understand the reasoning, other guilds will talk about how you aren't that good because so and so only does 150k damage a game. I'm not saying you should put them in your ranked team, but run them in those 4 man premades and coach them on how to improve. I firmly believe the community has screwed itself with guilds. I can't speak for every server, but coming from Hedarr Soongh, to Fatman, to Prophecy of the Five, I can safely say that there are WAAAAY too many guilds with far too few people. Why is each guild made up of 1 ranked team? 8-10 people isn't the way to go, we should have guilds of 20-30 people that have large pools of players to mix and match. It would certainly help with getting ranked rolling when you aren't waiting for 1 of 3 people to log in to make 8.

I went significantly off topic (especially thread topic) ranting, but I'm kinda bored at work.

TL;DR There are reasons we have so many bads running around and the player base can blame themselves for a lot of that.

The majority of MMO players get invested and invest time into learning how to be better. That's a rarity in this community. Having to search 3rd party sites is nothing new... that remains the same for all MMO's. PvP has too many variables to even begin to write a tutorial on.

Personally I've tried helping a number of players early on... normally people who were in PvE gear or worse in war zones. Out of approx 15-20... 2 took my advice gratefully. Most responded with "I do what I want!" or something to that extent. Many of them are too proud or ignorant to take advice from my experience.

With finding it harder and harder to recruit top tier PvP players... we often do this. Give it a month or 2 of coaching and sometimes it pays off. Sometimes it's a waste of time. Many guilds keep the player base small simply because it's hard to find talent or even anyone capable of it. But I certainly don't feel as if top tier guilds should sacrifice anything if they already have a strong player base. Personally, I feel as if people should step up... not down.

I went significantly off topic (especially thread topic) ranting, but I'm kinda bored at work.

You won't see me call you out for being off topic or ranting... check the forums. I've been doing the same thing all day. Thanks for giving me something else to reply to.

TL;DR There are reasons we have so many bads running around and the player base can blame themselves for a lot of that.

THIS... I agree with as well. It appears for slightly different reasons but here's my take.

While the brand was just part of what I feel can take the blame. The player base just seems unwilling to learn or progress. Many of them live in a fantasy world where they're the "Emporer's Wrath" and any death they have is simply a design flaw in the game.

Agreed on all points. I've said that it's better for people to improve than for better players to play down, but those players will never get better simply by entering warzones. It's important to recognize those players who are willing to actually learn and help them along. A majority of players capable of doing this are not willing to take that time. The barrier to entry into this game is huge at this point 10 months down the road and if we want to improve and grow the player base, we can't shut out everyone with a question. I agree that those who are still learning could be more receptive to feedback, but everyone is guilty of having a bad reaction to negative feedback and I'd be willing to bet more of those players you mentioned ended up listening to you in the end. We can't force players to get better, but it won't stop me from trying since I'm the real

edit: Thought about it and put the last part in spoiler just in case someone gets angry about ruining class quests.

Republic side on The Progenitor sounds awful!

Idk...I wouldn't say that. I haven't played enough pvp to draw such conclusions yet. I know it has some great pvp guilds but it was harder for me to be successful while solo queuing on that faction. Maybe time will improve things who knows.

lol only thing killing regular warzones are the masses of bads.

Is that why ranked queues are so slow? The people that queued for RWZ were so terrible they just quit doing it?

Ranked queues went down on my server because people submitted to the top tier guilds instead of trying to achieve the same level of game play. A lack of a truly competitive community.

point of notice, won't work since people will optimize L61-63 pve gear to fit into WZ3 and have more stats.

why 1226 exacly?

The easiest is just to put a restriction on the gear rating. Battlemaster mods/armorings/barrels etc has a 140 rating so just allow gear with a maximum rating of 140.

Maybe they just can't improve further? Just like real life everyone has a maximum potential level they never can overcome. You can only compensate some with hard work and ambition.

Yea keep telling yourself that.

The truth is, ranked pvp is slow because for a lot of people it is a turn off for new people getting into PVP. Why would you stick around when you will probably face a premade and get stomped?

Get better or leave, is usually the solution provided by the short-sighted individuals which will eventually make pvp in this game a wasteland.

My solution is to improve....

Yours is to complain and demand changes that would completely go against the base design of this game.

Have logic you do not... (In a horrible Yoda impression)

Improve by telling players to leave the game if they don't agree with you? Because that is what you are suggesting.

That's working well with 3 ranked matches a day.

I'm telling players to explore their options if they don't enjoy the current state of this game instead of expecting the game to cater to them.

Not if you would otherwise lose every match it wouldn't.

 

 

Long story short, instead of reporting this for moderation, as is, for whatever reason, usually done on this forum, I'll engage you one final time to tell you you are all over the place.

 

Veiled threats of reporting, scary.

The reason I began speaking to you at all is due to your ludicrous claim that some other guy, who was not sending a geared ranked team into the pug bracket, was a friendless loser who was playing wrong. That's something you said. I didn't bring that idea into this thread. It was you.

 

You tried to say you would q ranked if not for a glitch nobody seems to have reported. Whether this is true or not (and this doesn't compute in my "thick skull" for reasons I'll get to a minute) this is an admission that you know full well that you, not the other guy, are in the wrong bracket with the wrong type of squad. Even if you want to tell me it's your fault due to "glitches," it's STILL an admission that you're in the wrong bracket with the wrong type of squad. So what was the first post about, then?

An admission of wanting to do ranked is not the same as "admitting I'm in the wrong bracket." Logical fallacy, as they are two different activities.

Ranked gives ranked comms, but affects rating. Regular, gives normal comms, no rating. I can want to do ranked (quickening my remaining gear grind if it pops), or I can decide to do normal (continue working on my remaining gear at normal pace). No where does it say I must do ranked if my Gear is (whatever.)

Nice try.

So in 2 posts, you already abandoned this narcissistic idea that you're saving the game by rolling pugs with ranked teams and the other guy's playing wrong by not doing that. Now you're saying you know it's not what you're supposed to be doing, but it's not your fault.

Never said I was "saving the game" by insisting BW keep team play the focus of the team based pvp they created. I did however, inform people they should seek to raise themselves rather than demand other people suck more so they can win more.

Well, apart from acknowledging that you've argued two conflicting things, I don't believe your most-recent post, either, because, between mouth-foaming keyboard-bashes, you can't even get your story straight. You said you filled in a second ranked team with friends/randoms. Now it's 8 unknown bads.

Once again, I'm not surprised by your inability to read properly. I never stated they were 8 bads. However, friend or not, they were still random fills, compared to our set up 8 man. We still had to divide the 8 man team we were trying to play as into 4 and 4, with 8 randomly filled players. And yes, whether friends or randoms from a fleet, we still lose people when one team wins too much. They're people after all.

(I will admit, and offer a small apology for the tone of my last post. Irrate or not, I suppose it's not nice to call someone an ignorant ****. It was uncalled for.)

And finally, you've told me you have been "berating people on the fleet" to q for ranked. Nobody's going to respond to that, and I would hope anyone without a serious concussion would be smart enough to know that. The way I see it, there are two possible reasons for someone to bully strangers into playing a particular mode in some game:

 

-they don't actually want to play this mode

-they're seriously unstable.

 

Neither would surprise me, frankly.

Once you've tried asking, suggesting, announcing (you're in queue), forming 16 people to play, etc... Eventually one may begin scolding people for not being in ranked. Please stop assuming the first thing I did was long on, get a wild hair up my *** that I want to do ranked, then bashed people over the heads till they formed up.

=P and even if I am unstable, so is most of humanity. We're all pretty much crazy. However, nice attempt on my character.

If you want my own opinion about how to solve this ranked teams stomping pugs problem (and it's a problem; I've been on both sides of this, getting stomped gearing up a fresh 50 when nobody's on and decimating with my carnage mara in a pyro/opheal/hybrijugg premade during the height of that groups OPness and it's not fun for normal people either way).

 

4 man ranked bracket. Fixes everything for everyone except the weirdos that think pugstomping is a sport, rather than a boring exercise in complete pointlessness.

This is actually an agreeable option. Should be a 4 man queue, in the hopes that if ranked is more accessible, we might actually get a pop. However... that is not an excuse to take away 4-man normal queue's. They are there for a legitmate reason.

TL:DR: You've misread or missunderstood half of what I said, nitpicked at certian wording, attempted to create false conclussions, and in general have been incorrect. On my side, I apologize for an overly aggressive post, and agree with your last suggestion.

I am trying not to get further involved in this thread but you are really starting to irritate me.

 

a) When are you going to pay my sub? If not stop telling me how I should play or queue.

 

b) separate queues would be bad for YOU, because YOUR queue time would go up, soloers queue times would decrease once word got around that they no longer have to face Pre mades.

 

c) Pre-mades themselves are a bit of a pain, but, it is their use of external voice programmes that gives them an unfair advantage i.e. Skype/TS/Mumble etc. Not all of us can speak the same languages, not all of us live in environments where we can reasonably use voice comms during peak times. If this facility was meant to be inherent in the game then BW should have included it (as WoW did some years ago - dont know if it is still available I left WoW several years ago).

 

If you want to queue as a pre-made then that is your choice and you should have the facility to do so - I just want to make my own choices and queue in the environment in which I wish to play why is that so difficult a concept for you to understand?

 

As to PuG players not wanting to better themselves, elitist or what? I suspect without your team you would be easy meat for a skilled player 1 v 1, even for a solo queuer who is not wanting to better themselves (that comment was what irritated me into posting again - incinuating you are better than solo'ers becuase you are carried by other players)

a. If you see a commando running around with +str boots and pants, +willpower belt, +absorb on their weapon, and using a rifle, would you not tell them their main stat is aim? Especially, if you -had- to play with them?

Now, so you don't think I'm calling you a complete idiot, of course you're not running around in the wrong main stat. The underlying principle remains the same. However, if you wanna throw the trantum card "Don't tell me what to do!" fine. But, expect to lose.

Now, also so no one thinks I'm "trying to save the game" or some other holy crusade crap, assume my reasons are selfish. Chances are, PuG's in with my premade decrease my chances of winning.

b. They would be bad for everyone, remember the whole splitting the pool conversation? We'll use bigger numbers this time. 64 in the pool, normally 20 in 4 man premades. 64 is enough for 4 continues matches at all times (16x4) .

Now you have a pool of 44 and 20. Pug'ers get 2 matches (16 x 2) with a remainder of 12 left floating. Team players get 1 (4x4 man teams), with 1 4 man floating. Everyone loses out. Perhaps not noticable on high pop servers in On-hours, but definitely during off hours or Low pop servers.

b2. Your part B is completely selfish. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. Mind you, with the current problem you're facing, a solution has been offered. With the problem you propose, your answer is basically **** you.

c. My guild only uses mumble for the once in a blue moon event we get some ranked matches. That being said, you have a semi-valid point. Fact of the matter remains mumble/vent exist. Nothing EA can do about it. If you'd like to voice a complaint/suggestion that voice chat be added into the ToR code, I doubt you'd have anyone disagreeing.

d. I completely understand, but that's not how the game is played. Part of the reason I urge you to read "Playing to Win" by Sirlin. I was in your shoes once, it was hard for me to come to terms with it. I'm still battling parts of my scrub days (Using medpaks still feels so cheap, and I keep forgetting cybertech grenades).

e. My 1 vs 1 skills are pretty average, you are correct. I can hold my own fairly well, but I'd put my average 1 vs 1 at 40%. 1 vs 1 has always been my weak spot, and I'm working on it. Wanna know why I win though? Teamwork.

I communicate Incomings, then hit survival mode while those wonderfully skilled PuG's try and 1 vs. 1 me and cap. Sometimes I kill them, sometimes they kill me, but they are always killed without a cap. I stop shooting for a moment and mark targets for my team. I switch my guard, throw taunts, and peel off my healers. I stop Dps'ing and off heal in a pinch.

(Now for a part of my own)

As you've decided to throw a vague insult at my dueling prowess, shall I assume you wish for your PuG only wz's because you're one of those 1vs1 heroes we laugh at? You know, that guy who, vs. bad PuG's can solo a guard and cap, and feel all warm and tingly inside for a job well done! Of course, when you get in a real match that never works.

As someone who is in a dual focus build and PVPs pretty much exclusively with premades, I'm more than a little insulted at the notion that people in premades are just cowards who would rather roll over undergeared fresh 50s than engage in competitive play, and if nothing else that stance taken by people who at other times I'd thought were intelligent members of the community makes me just not want to listen to anything you have to say, suck it up, or quit.

First thing I ever do whenever logging on with the intention of PVPing is "/g anyone wanna group up for 50 PVP?" That's it. It's that easy. If no one says yes after about 15 seconds, I'll just go queue, solo, but usually someone is down, or is already playing and we form a group as soon as they're done. From that perspective, yes I don't see why it's so hard for other people to make premades. I'd have quit a long time ago if not for guildmates, they're what keep the game fun, but I understand intellectually that not everyone's experience is the same as mine.

Anyway there are perfectly legitimate reasons for making premades and not doing ranked.

1) Group size is irrelevent. You log on, you group up with 1-3 other people who also happen to want to PVP, and you go. Nice and easy. Only one other person? Who cares? Just go ahead and queue! It is very rare where I'll log in and no one wants to PVP, but it's also veryr are that I log in and we have a full 8 people who want to PVP and without 8 people you can't do ranked period. In the meantime, your chances of winning are higher, and if you lose anyway, well misery loves company and at least you can complain about the awful PuGs together. Since we're often looking to fill out ranked teams it's also a chance to see other players in action and scout good players who might be unguilded, or in guilds that don't PVP but they themselves are still interested in ranked.

2) Group composition/gear is irrelevent. If the other 2 people who want to PVP are both DPS or both tanks who cares? Just go ahead and queue! Often even if we DO have 8 players on, it's not the proper composition to form a competitive ranked group, and often not the best geared either. In normal warzones that's fine, we're just trying to have fun, get our daily/weekly done, and do so while playing with players we know and like, and whom we know don't suck (or in my case, my guildmates know HOW I suck, so they can sort of compensate for my weaknesses). I've done a premade that was 3 tanks and a DPS. At that point you know your team makeup isn't going to be optimal, but that's ok. No healers? Just queue anyway. Can't do that when you're trying for ranked though. You think getting rolled by premades is bad? Trying walking into ranked without a good group composition, and with people in mediocre gear. You can have a bad night pretty darn quick, and since there aren't a lot of teams queuing for ranked, you'll run into the same very well geared and coordinated team again and again, whereas in the normal warzones, at least you can usually avoid running into the same team again and again (cept at late hours).

Either way premades are often the best of both worlds. You get to play with people you know and like, but you don't have to worry that everyone is perfectly geared and that you have the absolute perfect composition.

Until they can actually implement cross server queuing I just don't see splitting solo and group queues as being all that viable. All it would do would either make both queues too slow, or people would gravitate toward one or the other and that's a lose-lose proposition. If people are flowing to the solo queues, then the game is de fact discouraging group play, and that's just not something that should ever be encouraged in an MMO at all. On the otherhand, if things gravitated towards the premade queues, then we all know you solo queuers would be whining you aren't getting pops. Either way it's just a bad thing.

If they CAN ever implement cross server queuing then I would propose the following three brackets.

1) Solo 50. Allows only solo queuers, awards normal warzone commendations. Of course the war heros can still come in, but the reward will be less, and one war hero geared player can't swing the tide of an entire match most of the time. Since fresh 50s from all servers would constantly be providing fresh players to this bracket, I don't see queue times being a problem.

2) Ranked Warzones. Allows groups of 1-4 to queue, and awards ELO rating based on wins and losses, as well as ranked warzone comms. It would basically be what we have now, but undergeared and solo queuers would know exactly what they're getting into and would have an out if they don't want to risk getting rolled. It would also make the war hero gear grind a bit better (which btw gives an incentive for better geared people to leave the fresh 50s the hell alone), and yes would be where a lot of people spend their 50 PVP time, especially once they get battlemaster, but perhaps not. With the ELO rating, the system would attempt to match people with similar ELO ratings to create closer games, and something similar to the group finder could be implemented where it at least attempts to make sure each team has a healer (though if not enough healers available it would just form a team of people who have been waiting for more than 2 minutes, similar to how it would match people with greatly different ELO ratings if it can't match people up against similarly rated teams). Again, that kind of fine tuned matchmaking requires a large population to pull from, so need cross server to really have this be any kind of viable solution.

3) Team Ranked. Pretty much exactly what we have now. Need a full team of 8 to queue. Queue at your own risk. The big differences is you should get reconnected into the warzone if you DC (no backfill for team ranked), and there should be some sort of incentive to do ranked. New gear (not necessarily in stats, but in looks and NOT palette swaps). This is where the elite people with the right setup can go.

I'd very much be in favor of a system like this, but until we have the cross server population to properly support it, I think it would only hurt things overall.

You can not have competition as long as you don't have balance, and one can't improve unless he is competing against others of similar skill level until he best them all and then moving to the superior level. In order to have balance, hence competition, some rules must be used when organizing matches. SWTOR doesn't have that, as far as I know, which leads to some very one sided WZs. Such WZs, where there is no real competition, are detrimental to the PvP mentality, class perception, core mechanics perception of the players that find themselves on the weaker team (weaker = neck stomped) . And last but not least to their fun meter . BW should consider taking steps in improving their match making system as the least they can do for the PvP aspect of this game.

P.S. I agree with all those that preach grouping, improving, getting to the next level etc. But in all fairness guys you have ranked WZs for that end level PvP play and sadly those look like a haunted house right now. So maybe you too should put the effort in to make those work instead of limiting yourself at farming regulars. Not that I don't do that occasionally, but it gets old fast, at least for me .

point of notice, won't work since people will optimize L61-63 pve gear to fit into WZ3 and have more stats.

why 1226 exacly?

Having done the gear progression myself I picked 1226 because that requires a player to have at least 3-4 peices of War hero to reach. Normally Main hand, Off hand, 2 armor, combined with battlemaster gear.

Plus at 1220 you start to notice your able to damage the elite war hero people.

Not kill them obviously but your over the hump of no visable damage

So your not completely out geared by the high end and your not uber geared vrs the low end

Its simply the most logical spot for the transition is all.

Optimizing stats are not the kicker, anyone in battlemaster can optimize stats as well through augments and creative design.

Expertise is the huge difference between a recruit geared player and a elite war hero player.

The bonuses are just to big to over come when the stat optimization applied.

You cant stop min/maxers from min/naxing, and nor should you IMO

But you can stop them from stacking expertise to create a unbeatable situation.

1225 is just the logical middle of the road.

No other reason beyond common sense

PS: Saw a post saying battlemaster rating 140 so if my above design to complexe. Going with a no items containing a rating over 140 also works out to almost same spot!

Less and less people are pvp'ing now, sometimes it takes 45-60 mins for a pop to happen.... I've noticed a trend on certain servers you get a few PvP guilds that do nothing but make up 4 man premades and ruin all the fun for people who just want jump into a quick warzone... What happens is you can go against a fully geared out premade who's on vent/mumble/team speak and they pretty much just own everyone...

 

Bioware you need to add a PUG only warzone option, this will level the playing field more and allow people to just have fun.... If not, less and less people are going to pvp due to frustration with the situation..

Or in other words I'm a noob. And peak times on my server it takes max a couple of mins for a pop. After midnight maybe max 15mins. Hmmmm.
