    Fixing PVP 8x8

    Disappearing Act + Sleep Dart + Recuperate is NOOB Change my mind
  2. That's not AP but Tactics, and it uses Rifle and not Pistol. The shock ability if not Flame Sweep by the way, the equivalent in Vanguard is called Explosive Surge which animation is perfect for a trooper.
  3. Stealth classes are stealth classes. Non stealth classes are non stealth classes. If it's all about skipping trash packs in FP then i really wanna say that in this game there are too much skipping paranoids, sometimes it really takes less time to kill those packs and go on.
  4. I'm one of those PT that would like to see also Flame Sweep animation reworked into something different, in other words erase flames completly from AP and leave flames only for Pyro. This is something that has acquired even more importance since 7.0 in my opinion, infact is now important to adapt some animations to the origin story lore. As a Mandalorian i'm ok with having flames attack but what if i'm an AP Trooper? Or an AP Smuggler? Is vry difficult to find in the star wars lore troopers elevating from the ground and spinning to spread flames around em, more likely never seen it anywhere. What if, instead, we make AP Troopers throwing little nades around them that explode with AOE instead of Flame Sweep animation? This is just an idea that i'm writing as it popped into my mind but there could be a lot of solutions. As for Pyrotech it indeed needs to be buffed seriously. In PVP i find it too weak if u consider the overall dps output and the whole combat style offensive and defensive kit. Lethality is way stronger but i admit i never parsed them.
  5. Suggestion Box Now! You will find a lot of consensus
  6. Yea i agree with that. Lighsabers too should be possible to choose the type of sound. But i think that for them there is less to choose compared to fire weapons. Anyway it should be availbale aswell imo.
  7. I think it could be nice if we add a new customizable aspect for fire wapons (rifles, blasters and cannons) that we can call the "Percussor", in order to change the sound of each weapon at ones pleasure. Some pistols are really good looking but got horrible sound. Think about it.
  8. Since 7.0 there are several ability animations that in my opinion need to be reworked but right now i wil focus on specific 2 from Gunslinger combast style. Recuperate and Surrender: they are both tied to the Smuggler idea of Gunslinger, right now they must become more neutral and not that much of scoundrel looking. From a long time i would like to make a trooper gunslinger but i always change my mind cuz i would have a trooper dressed like a bad ass soldier running around raising hands in sign of surrender with coins falling from his hands or from his pockets. Not to mention Recuperate: pretty strange to have a trooper or an Agent who swings a coin in the air and then hits it with the gun like in a spaghetti western. Animations for these two need to become moew adaptive for every origin story, at least if u ask me.
  9. I'm having the same problem since yesterday. I have to admit that, due to the fact that it say that is Searching for Upodates but there is no yello progress bar, i forced the closeing of the launcher every time. At this rate i've tried nearly everything so i'm ready to unistall/reinstall but i'll give a shot to your tip first and let it go for a while. If i let it patch will the thing be fixed for ever then?
  10. Yea i tried several times but still nothing. Months ago had another issue and made the change on Compatibility so it was already on Windows 8. I also already used the repair launcher utility but nothing. I'm goin to unistall the game and re-install.
  11. If i make to close the launcher it also say that i'm currently patching, once confirmed i want to close it just stuck empty.
  12. Can't click the play button. Waiting for replies. Thank you.
  13. Even if i'm one of the few that doesn't think we have been so severely nerfed in our DCD's, i'd like to see that instant Ambush to be a proc, not something tied to a tactical that forces me to use an escape/gap creator/kiting ability (Covered Escape) for offensive purposes in order to have that big Ambush instant. I wanna use my roll when i need it for defensive needs, not for dps. I've spoken
  14. I like all this tips for changes. Diversion should slow targets as baseline as it was once upon as utility choice. Insta ambush should be some kind of proc and not something that, for some aspects, forces player t sacrifice a covered escape using it for offensive purpose rather than for defensive, it's stupid.
  15. I played Sniper and Gunslinger a lot of my time since 2012 even if i never mained it (my main always been Vanguard). A week ago i decided to make Sniper my second main combat style and created a Vanguard/SAniper trooper. So all i want now is to definitely become good at this class because i love it the same way i always loved Vanguard. Is like i have fun in playing only difficult classes. That said, during this last week, i had the chance to experiment deeply all the changes to the Markmanship spec, and i honestly don't understand why there is so much complaining about its defensives: 1 - back in the days Countermeasures and Evasion were different abilities, with proper set bonus you could have the tool of finishing the cooldown on Covered Escape by activating Evasion, this utility is now part of countermeasures passive from ability tree. That's interesting because you have to choose when u need it to run faster to avoid an impossible fight or run to an objective or kite, rather then activating Countermeasures to gain the 200% defense chance. More trivial than it used to be. Oh and this way you can have your Covered escape cooldown reset, which is something available only on set bonus pre 7.0. 2 - I always pick the self heal choice in pvp, that gives you a 3% every 2 seconds is way more than in previous pacthes. Sometimes when i got hit by a Demolish and have like 20% hp and i have multi dots ticking on me i escape to stay in cover with a warzone adrenal waiting for the effect to vanish, and that self heal really helps a lot. 3 - Sniper/slingers have the strongest pushback in the game in my opinion, but with the proper utility from ability tree you can make penetrating blast a very useful pushback too aswell, especially if used twice with sniper vollety it really helpz out a lot against melee classes: yesterday i 1vs1 a couple of juggs and won thanks to this trick. With all CD's availbale you can have in other words 3 pushbacks and circle between them as they one by one come off from CD. 4 - Entrench is pretty much the same thing as it used to. Pre 7.0 i used to pick the Seek Cover utility but now i prefer to boost my shield probe. Entrench is something really big: in my gamestyle i always have it up because it lasts 23 seconds: as a fight starts in regular warzones it takes in average from 3 to 7 seconds for opponents to realize that you are freecasting. In a matter of seconds you have alqays hav the 99% of chance to get globalled so is always good to have Entrench on and avoid stunlock. 45 seconds cd minus 23 seconds of effect means you always have to calculate 22 seconds where you are vulnerable to stuns, that changes a lot. Plus the AOE dr, is probably your best defensive togheter with evasion. 5 - Divrersion is a great ability and we all know about it: is a pity that it doesn't have any other feature like in the past. Id'l like to see it slow targets by a certain percentage. Talking about slows and roots, my personal tip is to spam Leg Shot when facing melee or avoid ranged to use LOS. In this sense i love that penetrating blast root target for the duration, very useful as said before. 6 - Suppressive fire should finish the cooldown on Followthrough and make it deal splash damage as baseline, since that Markmanship has the worst AOE: i know it's not an AOE spec like Engi and i know that Suppressive fire is already OP, but hell, why not? So in the end what is this lack of defensives whining all about? In the end all you really lost in pvp is Ballistic Shield, long long cooldown for 20 seconds of DR and some self heal, you can get over with it in my opinion. The class has stil a lot to offer if played properly and if u don't try to get the kill at any cost and know where to stay in the map. Run if things get hard, just run away. So far i'm learning that is better to die running away from 3 maras against me rather than dying because i try to survive vs 3 maras just to kill one of them, you are not a PT/VG. My humble tribute to the discussion.
