Galactic Dollhouses is the priority now. Watch them nickle n dime that with the Cartel Market. Not that pvp was ever much a priority to begin with. Hope you all enjoy your space sofas.

A glorious victory for the Republic. Here's a shot of us in the aftermath, executing the spawners. http://imgur.com/8iMz2zn

While that's something we would love to do, it would be technically challenging and not possible at this time.

Yes, it was us. We have a trooper-only raid group called The Legionnaires. All troopers, matching armor, and matching speeders.

Quan if you want to be a derp and sit on fleet and grind rwz coms and rating, be my guest. But it's the same thing day in and out. This is to do something different for a change and to have fun. You remember what fun is?

Open world PVP is what you make of it. Gentlemen Gankers is very involved with keeping it alive. On the 28th we are organizing an invasion of Quesh (on the Bastion) http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=724338 Republic troops are being marshaled. Imperial forces have been taunted and mocked. Oh yes, there will be blood. Our guild's Trooper-only raid group, The Legionnaires, will be the spearhead of this assault. If you wan to see the full collection of our opvp raid videos head to our youtube channel. http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSFDP5A_jJjXDCZT9QWUCTw

bump. Bastion better show how it's done. I don't need "rewards" to do open world pvp.

bump. Quesh is gonna be littered with imp corpses.

So many of the Powertech's animations just look way cooler than the Vanguard's counterpart. -Retractable Blade > Gut. Blade's got a cool sound- like it's punching through armor. -Rail Shot > High Impact Bolt. RS just sounds like a beast. I never get bored hearing it. -Flame Sweep > Explosive Surge. The sweep is so fluid in motion. like an aerial dance. lol Explosive surge looks like you just farted. -Immolate > Fire Pulse FP looks like you just made your enemy fart. -Rocket Punch > Stockstrike. Punch makes me think of SFII Ryu and Ken. Shoryuken! -Flame Burst > Ion Pulse. IP just looks like a bug zapper. At least Flame Burst is a blast to the face. Pulse Cannon ties Flamethrower though. they're both good. About the only thing VGs have over PT's in style is a Blaster Rifle. Way cooler in so many ways.

I have a blacklab/pitbull cross. He's a dummy but very lovable. And a very handsome looking dog. I recommend mixed breeds because they tend to have stronger genetics. purebreds tend to have physical and psychological abnormalities- and you pay a premium for the purity! Plus mixes look more unique IMHO.

My guild , Gentlemen Gankers, is doing very well these days. We have many active members and frequent vent users now. I find that getting people onto voip is crucial to building guild solidarity. The guild becomes a social hangout and people build relationships with those they game with. Once a person get involved in voip they are much less likely to leave the guild. I actively promote getting people onto the vent server for this reason. Strong Leadership is important. The guildmaster controls the direction and activities of the group. People should want to follow that person. Likability, friendliness and fairness is essential to the GM role. Guild events. For example, we do opvp Trooper-only raids call The Legionnaires on Friday night. All troopers wearing the same armor and color. It's a very popular event in our guild, and people have specifically joined us because of its reputation. It's never about sheer numbers. A person can leave a guild as easily as they joined it. It's about building interpersonal relationships. It's a very valuable skill to have because it's used in anything you do in life. After all that, people still come and go. Guild's rise and fall. It's the nature of gaming.

Only a few classes and specific specs are truly viable for rwz arenas. And even if you are one of those specs, it's the same 4man deathmatch mechanics over and over over. It gets boring after a while. Once in a match the combat strategy is limited because those specs and group combinations have only the same playstyle mechanics.

I like it. it's a new unexpected variable to the wz. After years of the same mechanics over and over- this is refreshing. And it's only for a week anyways. 2 nights ago, my 4 man got an arena match. As we waited for the gate to open my infection decided to kill me in the spawn. Since there are no revives at all in an arena, boom, that round is a guaranteed loss. such impeccable timing. we all had a good laugh about it though.

I have been playing this game since beta. I have seen every iteration of pvp that bioware has implemented. I have played it all. The reality is, obtaining the 1st tier 55 pvp gear is the EASIEST it has ever been in this game. the prices are lower than previous game versions. And hell, Even without Conq, Bolster does work. A Pure pve gear build is brought to ~53% damage boost. (%60 is full 2018 expertise). And ultimately, the stat separation between Conq and Obroan is the smallest jump than any other previous tiers. We are talking 5% or less stat differentials. The real grind is Obroan. the rwz com cost is the highest it's ever been for top tier pvp gear (which they did specifically to promote rwz arenas as the fastest way to get it.) For reg wz's full mk-9 aug'd shells with conq mods can compete. In the time it took you to write the first post, OP, you probably could've played at least 2 PVP matches. ~240 coms if they were great wins, ~80 coms if they were bad losses. I'm just pointing out that, for a person with many RL comittments, why spend any game-related time on these forums? Use the time you have to play the game.

This is a great event. The pvp action is like the wild west down in those tunnels. I love it!
