EA = Publisher Bioware = Designers Though EA may have input its ultimately a Bioware coding problem... Trust me Im in the boat with you with EA screwing up long time good game titles, But it really not there issue here... With Whats going on anyways...

It doesnt happen to me Every PvP match, Mostly on Hutt ball Ability Delay nearly causes a / ragequit... As the OP said the delay is nearly 1 second most of the time and does matter... I will add its not just republic side, Empire side on Juyo server has same exact problem...

I throw down 100k to 200k dps everytime its not about sucking its about the friggen classes with stuns at lvl 20 like BH, smuggler, Gun Slinger, Trooper that when bolstered can stun you forever and because they are bolster so far you cant resist there 10 2k shots... You should be worried for your *** at level 20 going into PvP.

Yah ATM the bolster is insane, Everyone im not saying Dont Bolster. Im saying Don't bolster equally.. <20 a percentage 21-25 a percentage 26-30 a percentage 31-35 a percentage 36-40 a percentage... After 40 your pretty much on your own I didnt any bolster between 45 - 49. And increase the Resists for as you gain levels. I shouldnt have to worry about a 20 level difference...

/// Bump ///

Havent seen this topic mentioned recently SO here goes... Every 40+ works to gain stats and good equipment modified to there play style so that we are more effective in pvp and pve... But the bolster in PvP is so biased it borderlines on making good gear and spec's useless... A lvl 20 should not be able to eternally stun a lvl 40, Nor should there Hit points be bolstered as high as people in there 40's... Higher level toons should be able to resist more attacks from a lower level... PvP is not about being equal its about a Power Advantage. In the current system low level toons with a 3rd of the skills with a 1/4 of the damage are gaining the same advantages as people who spent hours and hours building gear... This was tested it is not a mistake. Level 15 toons get nearly the same Hit points and same damage as a level 49 toon... If fact past level 39 you receive less and less bolster till, this is not an issue it understandable it makes sense. When a level 20's attack skill is bolstered to hit for 2.5k thats a bit ridiculous. And there hit points are bolstered to 10k+ what advantages does being higher bring in PvP? Its also irritating to to watch a level 20 Healer Out heal my 2.5k to 5k shots *** is this about... And all of you that will argue this is not fair, think about it this way at level 20 your not gonna fly to Belsavis and expect to drop a level 45 easy mob.... Why whould it be so in PvP... The thing to remember is its PvP, not love your neighbor and be fair... Let the Flaming begin P.S. The people that post you just suck or Crap like that are just missing the point. I am almost always top 5 in DPS.

LMAO like Veteran WoW player means anything.... Playable ( Minus Ilum ) ATM to a 14 year Veteran of MMO Donations $$$ Avid Anti - Wow Player

I think people are missing the fact that this games timeline is way before the clash of Empire vs republic... And that Empire vs Republic had nothing to do with good or evil in that time frame... It wasnt till later, way later in the story the empire was perceived and evil...

Though I agree it would have interfered with some star wars lore at certain points, I dont think its a game ender... I think the game ender will be imbalance and lack of content... But unless they come up with an innovative way for skill progression based on light and dark side, this game will not make it very long...

Thank you, there is light at the end of the tunnel.... It is the reason I suggested my changes. Good is good, evil is evil... In the Begging Neither Faction was good or evil they were warring over control of the universe.... Good and Evil was a perception laid out by the characters in the stories... . Its the main reason was I think alignment should be chosen at a later level ....

For Sure nothing is ground breaking here, And at time I feel " Damn this is too easy " WoW clone.... Something still needs to be done... Adding FP and PVP is not a fix....

It not to late to makes these changes, Every MMO with factions has always made progressive changes like the ones I posted to help balance servers...

I was actually going to write this up last week heres my play on it... If you pay attention to Star Wars Lore it a rarity someone is born Dark or Light. They are born with the power of the force and must CHOOSE there destiny... The Current dark or light system has no reason, I have seen several Sith choosing light side or staying neutral.... If Empire is supposed to generally speaking Evil and Republic general speaking good, then it should be so.... My proposed change would be to remove the immediate Light and Dark faction on character creation and do this... 1. Let the progression of light or dark side experience set your alignment. And at a certain level you have to choose. 2. Increase the dark and light side experience bar amounts. 3. Give better rewards the further you are dark or light, Usable things like additional CA's, or crafting skills. 4. The reward system for progressing these factions needs to weigh heavily on why you would choose one or the other... 5. Create 4 more classes that are neutral and can choose which way to go in game. One MMO I can think of that had good, evil, neutral classes was Everquest. The Reason I suggest this is allot of people say they choose dark side for the looks and story and that the republic just isnt visually appealing, There are still several races that were in star wars lore that were considered neutral that could be used to create this idea... 6. Create moer armor and armor choices that stay within star wars lore. Also allow the visual armor colors to be changed... I think people are all about customization if people can mod the way they look not just stats that could help with the lust for how cool the empire looks... Note: I am aware some of these ideas may not be possible, but as you read most of the complaining about the republic its 90% visually boring, because let me tell you its not because they cant pwn in pvp...
