One of the 16k heroes pipes up in ops chat and says, "This is a loss, I'm out," and quits. Guess he decided this team couldn't carry him...

Anyhow, long story short; we won. It was pretty close, but we won. If you'd have asked me right before that who would win, I would have absolutely said the other team. It seems like that happens a lot, though, so I shouldn't be surprised. Kinda like Karma is rewarding me for not dropping when I see a recruit/PvE geared team.

Now, isn't that inspirational?
This actually happens to me pretty often. 2 or 3 people quit out after we get scored on twice in huttball, and we come back and win. It's always fun to message them after and not only tell them the result, but thank them for leaving and allowing that ops slot to be filled with someone useful.

i went 4/5 last night on two toons last night, and the one i consider a loss is the Voidstar i left right away when I got placed into a group with 7 other people with >17k hp vs a Cates premade

The only good thing I can take away is that there is alot of new players coming into the game, and most folks generally roll IMP as they are the more "attractive" faction, peeps want to shoot lightening out their fingers :P

This is what i imagine Combatmedicjr to be like when he loses to Unicorn Stampede lol.
And Cates he didnt exactly gives a piece of his mind when he crashed our mumble. Really he came in got made fun of a left crying lol. You give the dude too much credit. 8===================D
Everyone seen it on troy's stream .another dillusional f*** you're probably caigigugu (don't remember your exact name you're an awful sorc) the hillbilly i kept telling to shut up , i didn't hear any crying on my part only troy apologizing over and over and he managed to squeeze in i'm better then you which is laughable. Otherwise raging when i lose to unicorns ? lol that might happen if i'm solo q'ing otherwise if you run into our premades you get farmed.

And neb if my vocabulary is so shot , i wrote a whole paragraph , you addressed none of it cause you know what i'm saying is true you have no rebuttal and turned to the classic your vocabulary sucks.

I get where Xzil is coming from. Most of the guys I used to PvP with have either left the game or rolled Republic so I've been resigned to solo queueing for a while now and it's finally made me lose interest all together.

Every now and then people like Rockafella or Xeoneth would hop on, or I might catch Dice and have a good healer to run with but that's about it.

So as a result I've ran one warzone in the last 3 weeks and logged off right after because it was a ****** by a pretty poor team. Played huttball and the only players who seemed to even know the rules of the game were myself and a sorc healer (Axva or something like that)

So I just play BF3 now, at least if I get lumped in with a gash team there I can go hide in the hills with my sniper rifle and still have fun.

Hopefully with returning players coming back for the expansion things may liven up a bit for a few months.

I try and stay out of the forums, but figured I'd throw in my point of view on the matter. Xzil is absolutely right, the fact is that the republic has a lot larger and stronger player base for both PvP and PvE. That doesn't mean that the imperials don't have any good players, because we do have our fair share, but we have a lot less of them.
When it comes to pugs and solo queuing, it is very common to find yourself in a group where everyone else has terrible gear, no expertise, or are just plain stupid. To try and alleviate this occurring, imps find themselves grouping up and queuing in strong 4-mans. In my experience, when I do this, I very rarely loose. This is because when we find ourselves in tough matches we play for objectives, not numbers.
Long story short, imperials are generally forced to group up if they want to win, while the pub's larger and more experienced player pool allows them to solo que and still do well. I think that the creation of battle groups could help fix the imbalance, but until then if you want to win on imp side grouping up is your best shot.

I felt no need to respond to all your trash. As I said before, what you posted was glaring proof that everything I said about you to be true. So why should I spend extra time posting some huge post showing how much of a buttmunch you are?

And there is no "classic your vocabulary sucks". It is grammar and spelling that is "classic". I just honestly felt bad that all you could muster was that tired **** you posted. You did more dmg to yourself than I probably ever could. "Tis better to keep thy peace and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt."

I did lol at "I wrote a whole paragraph". Good for you, buddy! Keep up the good work.

much as i like to pvp, im mediocre at best. i know this. i keyboard turn, i click, i look down to type, and sometimes my nails get in the way and i make typos that i feel like i must correct before hitting enter, so sometimes my calls are late. ive been called terrible, a tryhard, and a baddie many times. whatever...

in an overwhelming majority of my matches imp side, the scoreboard looks something like this...

if im a baddie, what do you call some of these people on my team? OP does have a point. i dont expect to win a whole lot solo queueing, but come on.




and this... i dont even...
