what a damn joke it's been 3 weeks and now finally get an official response basically saying "will fix in future patch", but not this tuesday. REMOVE BOLSTER U IDIOTS!!! Who was the dev smoking crack that thought it would be a good idea to make low lvl crafted greens BIS pvp gear better than partisan and conq gear????? I re-subbed for 1 month after quitting a year ago and this bolster crap is making me unsub again. Damn this game had so much potential but the people in charge just doing the stupidest stuff to their game. Where do they get some of these ideas???

Bolster is BIS for relics so unequip them or wear low lvl green ones.

is that guy gabe armentaglo still head of pvp? would explain why pvp is a complete and utter mess

No there is no progression because getting worst greens possible with augment slots and taking out the augments take the queue then put augments back in after to abuse bolster is the best gear. You seem pretty clueless like the devs. O well this game was already run deep into the ground by devs listening to people like you so why do I even waste my time trying to reason with you.

working as intended. if you want to be a god in WZ's remove your augments and enhancements.....take the WZ queue....bolster buff will apply giving you tons of stats.....then put them back in your gear.....bolster will not change but you will then double dip your stats. can do that or if you just wear the worst possible green quest gear you can find bolster will overcompenstate and actually boost you up to the point where as if you were in full conq or better. was this crap tested at all?

Bolster makes it so pve hero has big advantage over somebody that has pvp gear. Only reason why bioware added bolster is for the f2p people. f2p players can only play small # of WZ's so they cannot really grind gear. Pissing on subscribers / people that actually play the game in favor of making f2p players or casual's that play like 1 hr a week is why the game failed in the 1st place. Also mmo is about char progression - taking away char progression pretty much takes away a lot of incentive to actually grind or play a MMO.

I re-subbed after quitting around 1 yr ago. Would not recommend resubbing - the same problems that were around 1 yr ago that made me quit are still around and even worst in some cases. Also it is clear the devs are taking the game in the complete opposite direction to what I want (bolster in lvl55 WZ's for instance).

Am I getting understanding this correctly......that basically pve owns pvp gear in pvp now? Since if you wear pve gear in 55 WZ bolster will max out your expertise but you still get the extra stats from PvE gear? I just got back from 1 yr hiatus.....are the devs still this clueless?

Ok ya I am lvl 53 using war hero / battlemaster gear, so hopefully pvp is much better at 55 and once I get the updated gear set, but the ability lag is so horrible. Also for people saying that the UI is the best ever....have you ever played any other MMO? I would say the UI is among the worst.

I have decided to pick up the game, resub for 1 month, and purchase hutt cartel expansion after a roughly 1 yr hiatus. Much to my dismay the exact same problems that were present 1 yr ago that made me cancel my sub ARE STILL HERE! (lol). 1) Insane ability lag - seems to be even worst than when I left 2) Sorc's still nerfed to dust - healing as sorc in WZ's seem useless as ever, not to mention I come back and find madness dps spec nerfed into the ground (when are the dev's gonna learn to stop nerfing everything? when they have 0 ppl playing maybe?) They prob nerfed other classes to the ground as well thinking it would make people keep playing (lol?). 3) Clunky and buggy UI 4) PvP is more a zerg fest than ever. Did the devs up dmg or something? Stun-lock to death in like 3 sec with full pvp gear is not fun and has no strategy or skill to it. Are these devs completely clueless or what? It sure seems that way.....the game had so much potential at launch, but the game ironically seems worse right now than it was at launch a yr and a half ago.

geared gorillas or naked humans....hrm....i take naked humans.

if you want balance i suggest you play a different game.

Ya we know bro. If you're looking for balanced and competitive pvp, hate to break it to you, but I suggest you look elsewhere because that will never occur here. Pvp here is more or less for fun. Ya if you rly wanted to win a your civil wars/nova coast/void stars you would simply just stack stealth classes since they are hands down best at capping / preventing caps on nodes / doors - imbalanced? perhaps, but will never be changed. not like it matters though - you lose a WZ....get over it, doesn't rly matter man.

Only reason they changed the proc from reduced cast time to 30% less force was they couldn't actually fix the bug because of combat delay issues that are inherent to the hero engine. Proof of this is you can still double dip dark heal into innervate for instance but doing that is fail since dark heal is terrible. You can also still double dip the fast force lightning procs in dps spec.

With re-balancing of expertise we are in essence back to square one when it comes to dying in a stun-lock. Post 1.2 it's not even just operatives that can do this - juggs, bh's can get someone pretty low within their 4 sec stun and marauders can fully dot you up then force choke you down to pretty low health as well.
