  1. Lets, theoretically, say that you are able to beat every other Sentinel/Marauder on this server in 1v1. Remind me again how that makes you the best Sentinel/Marauder in a game that is built around 4v4 arenas and 8v8 warzones? Nothing you can do in a 1v1 will tell me how you fair at spatial and situational awareness in arenas and warzones. It won't show me how well you use utility to mitigate damage on yourself or teammates. It won't show me how well you defend a node. It won't show me whether you know how to correctly position yourself so you are not overextended. It won't show me that you excel at knowing when to be aggressive and when to be defensive. It won't tell me how well you understand, at a glance, where everyone is on the map. It won't tell me how well you can recognize and memorize what cooldowns your teammates or the other team have used, and when they used them. So, please, if you disagree...Explain to me how winning 1v1's makes you, again, theoretically, the best Sentinel/Marauder on the server?
  2. Very early on in this games history, I had a comeback 5-0 victory and last night was about as equally exciting. Lumy, Jerry, and myself (on Jatink) came in around 360-170. Joined by the rest of the team, we immediately went to work on mid. Taking mid, we made the last ditch at snow. We captured it at 50-10 and held on for the win. Was pretty exciting, even for jaded PvPrs like Jerry and myself. Following that match, I must also shout-out to the 3 other Pubs that joined our 3-man group and proceeded to 3-cap 100-0 win Novare with only a 6 man team.
  3. I just want to take a moment to say thank you to a few people that have been incredibly generous in the last couple days while I've been outfitting my Shadow: 1. Thanks to Jerry for offering to make me a new yellow/black crystal without me even asking after I stupidly replaced mine on accident. 2. Thanks to Lakas for randomly sending me a purple Resolve 28 augment completely out of the blue. 3. Thanks to Dav'ron, who I met just tonight and when I mentioned I needed to log over and send 6k to Jatink to finish his last augment, had me come over and generously gave me $500,000 credits. 4. Thanks to Sledgehammer for the numerous items - gear, money, and augments that he has supplied me. It's great to see this kind of generosity from people that owe you nothing. Can't begin to express how much it means to me. Thanks again!
  4. Char, Jerry, Osi, and Rando....You know what was up last night. I doff my cap, gentlemen. Good times. Also, a shout out to Tam, I've really enjoyed playing and chatting with you since I returned to the game. Lastly, a shout out to the Regulators (coughGameSharkcough) that I've been playing with regularly. Great group of guys.
  5. You guys spend way too much time making up stories about me; but, I'm always amused by the tall tales, so, please, do tell me this new one about how I was kicked out of Scrub Squad. I'm hope it's as entertaining as the Game Genie one. Kloma, remember when I'd kill you or someone else in the Free For All PvP area of Ilum and you'd think "Hey, this is kind of fun" and come after me? Yeah, the response of these individuals is to run to the forums/mumble server/general chat and tell the story about how when I attacked them, with 30 people in my group, that they were quietly nursing a young and sick tauntaun back from the brink of death and I had to gall to then add insult to virtual injury and go to their mothers house and throw her down a flight of stairs.
  6. I won't engage in discussion regarding your whole post because it would be a pointless debate on what each of us considers acceptable behavior within the constructs of the design of the game. However, I will respond to the portion I've quoted above. Silent Council was (is?) a gigantic community when I came back last time and I doubt you either heard nor were interested in hearing an opposing view of what happened beyond what you wanted to believe. There were, and still are, many people that were in Silent Council at the time that I play with and talk to on a regular basis. When Ilum first returned, I was asked by a group of 3 Silent Council members to join them for fighting in the Free For All PvP area. I agreed and I joined their Mumble server. After engaging in a few fights, an officer in Silent Council came into our channel, cursed me out for what was happening, and left without receiving a response or explanation of what was going on. Following that, over the next month, I was repeatedly moved in and out of Mumble channels during warzones by that same officer in the guild while grouped with other Silent Council members. It was that behavior that eventually caused me to curse that specific person out and I was certainly justified in that response, not only for their actions towards me, but also their disrespect of their fellow Silent Council members that were in my group. As I said in my original post, and still maintain, I have never cursed out a person I was teamed with for PvP. Eventually, I was asked by Pano and Auvethi to stay away from the Silent Council Mumble server because I was a divisive issue within the Silent Council community. I returned to the server, by invitation, on a small number of occasions to chat with Pano about PvP on the server. Unless it happened after I quit playing TOR, I was never officially banned from the Mumble server. I don't know who you are and I don't care. If you want to make your characters known, feel free, but it won't make a difference to me. You are entitled to your opinion about me. As long as you aren't lying, I have no issue with you and don't need to defend myself.
  7. Since I was brought up in this thread early on (though modded out at some point), I figure I'll officially jump in, despite the thread wandering off course. Every time I return to an MMO for PvP (this time being the 3rd with TOR), the community forum is always recycling the same discussions, especially community based discussions, about PvP. The basic concepts behind this thread could be found 2 months after the game came out on the Sanctum of the Exalted server forum. The same was true when I came back and had been migrated to Ebon Hawk. The only thing that changes are those involved at a given time. A PvP community is based on many people with not only disparate views, but experiences that have led to formation of those views. No white knight is going to come in, no matter how much free time they have, and bring the community together under one unified code of conduct. To delve a bit deeper into the different views and experiences, I'll use myself as an example. In certain circles, I'm vilified as a meanie that doesn't care about the community. However, my friends and those I've played with quite a bit would probably say I'm one of the most loyal friends you can have and that I work my butt off to implement and manage a positive community, both in guilds and on a server. I've drastically changed in how i deal with the PvP community as a whole since the game launched. After launch, I was always very calm in warzone chat, always being positive in getting people to work together, no matter how idiotic the decisions they made. After dealing with that for awhile, though, you begin to lose patience. The casual PvPer (whether from a time or personality standpoint) often can't conceptually understand why a "hardcore" PvPer gets angry when you run up as he's capping the door and break the stun on the guy he was fighting (extreme example, but the point is made). So, yes, I do get very frustrated with decisions made in warzones, but I've never cursed out anyone that I am a voice chat with and I've always invited people that have an issue with me, whether from warzones or Ilum, to whisper me and have a civil conversation with how they may interpret my actions or behavior. New players don't need to be protected. While they shouldn't be exposed to harassment outside of warzones, either they have the drive to take their lumps and get better, or they don't and they leave. There are people, like myself, who are always willing to talk to someone about how they can improve their play in warzones. Sadly, and often, that advice is wasted because people don't want to listen, even when it is presented in a reasonable and positive format. Frankly, I think that not enough attention is given to how the seasoned and "good" PvPers feel about the community, and far too much attention gets put on how new players (or bad players) feelings have been hurt. If someone is unable to take some hazing as they learn the game, then I, personally, don't see much use for them in the community. Fodder need not apply. Anyway, in conclusion, as I stated, nothing is going to change. Come back to this forum 6 months later and you'll see the same arguments playing out. Even if everyone agreed on a code of conduct, there are not enough incentives, nor consequences, that can be used to enforce that code. Move on, play with the people you enjoy, ignore the ones you don't, and grow some thicker skin in warzones or open-world PvP. Note: I completely realize that there are a good number of you posting on the forum now that have no idea who I am and therefore everything I've said is completely irrelevant. Cheers, Braddock/Pelican/etc.
  8. ^^^ There are many issues within the PvP community, but you are off-base in making a general assumption as to why a group of people choose to "rush" to 55. I'm sure there are many reasons why people have rushed to 55, and I'm sure that for a few your reason is the correct one. However, the gear argument is a ridiculous one given that War Hero gear was easily obtainable and EWH gear was essentially a non-factor. If the discussion is about augments then that is an issue to take up with the developers of the game. PvPrs are good because they put in the time and effort to be good at that aspect of the game. Gear, ganking, pre-mades, among other reasons are simply excuses made by people who either A) don't put in the time and effort to become good at PvP or B) can't accept that there are people that are better at PvP than themselves.
  9. Because cleaning up after ERP on the cantina bar is a big job.
  10. Haha...Had plenty of fun with him tonight as well.
  11. I was simply stating that discussing Pax's ethics and standards is humorous in response to a post touting those ethics and standards. I moved on and, for whatever reason my ban got lifted on TS, had tried to start a new-beginning and friendship with people in Pax. Being re-banned from the TS, after having simple discussions in the TS, with the message "piss off" doesnt exactly engender good feelings and shows that at least one person in Pax is also not willing to move on, as you so claim is desired.
  12. I'll also add a complaint to this thread. MVP, not only was dealing with the fact that you constantly sync double-premades in lowbies and then flex and taunt when you happen to beat a PUG group, you apparently have now retreated back to lowbies after hitting 50 and getting your butts repeatedly handed to you. To add to the crap you usually throw out there...the other day, one of your members (Khantra) cursed out Klipsa on her alt for guarding West and calling out that South was being capped. More to the point of this thread though, that night, Scrub Squad ended up in a Civil War with 4 members on 1 side and a single member on the other side...With MVP premades on both sides. Sure enough, both the MVP groups left the match because they couldn't play with one another and I suppose can't play against each other either. Guess how much fun that match was for the rest of the participants? Your mentality and behavior towards PvPing in this game is ridiculous.
  13. Out of curiosity, Kosiah...Was this thread prompted by the Novare Coast where two of my team left simply because Silent Council had a pre-made on the other side? And then when they took East and Mid, we got back to 8 and another person left. Eventually I (Pelican) capped East with Chiaroscuro coming to help me and we held East and West the rest of the match. I seem to recall someone with a name like yours talking about being tired of people leaving just because a pre-made is on the other side before the match and after we emerged victorious. The silly thing was that we had a pre-made on our side -, Chiaroscuro, Phoenix and myself - from Scrub Squad. If that's not the match you are commenting on, the same applies....Those are the kinds of victories you remember and make PvP enjoyable. Simply rolling people for easy victories and never overcoming difficulties in a match is incredibly boring.
  14. I think 6 of you guys were up against my group (Braddocks) in Novare and then we faced another 4 of you in VS last night, if I recall correctly. Welcome to PvP and I hope you guys enjoy your time and stick around. Good luck!
  15. Arash, I'm not here to start, or continue, the argument, I'd simply like to inquire as to why you had no deaths, on a team that lost and let the other team get to the core? Was there never a moment you were trying to defuse a bomb or be the last man guarding the door? The bridge? Where were you when they were taking the force-field down before the final doors? I have my opinions about the whole taunt issue, but that's for another thread, I simply don't understand how someone can have zero deaths on a losing team in Voidstar. Where were you? Further, how does that point enhance your argument about this warzone? If i saw someone without a single death in a VS loss, I'd question their involvement as to why we lost more than a bad healer or a guy in recruit gear. My most satisfying victory in VS came in a match where I had 17 deaths and several times got an auto-shot off on the capper right before they capped before being returned to the spawn point. Never dying on a losing team seems like the exact opposite of something I'd use to brag about how impressive I was in a warzone.
