  1. Elkesha (pub side) Rovatu (imp side) (EDIT) Sorry, looks like I won't be joining after all. Good luck with the tournament.
  2. Argh. One of the posts I'd have loved to never have to read. A lot of my current skill is down to you and your instruction, so I'll only say this: thanks for everything, and best of luck for whatever you choose to do now. And who knows, maybe in the future you'll hear the GSF call again. Elkesha
  3. Elkesha here. I can't join right now, as I don't have a toon with maxed ships on SF yet, but in general, I'd love to give this a try.
  4. Do not generalize please. Yesterday there was a very good match on DM when 2 WD premades went at each other. Granted, not many guilds left nowadays able to field these numbers, but still.
  5. I know that. I've completed Dxun in hard mode, though that was on my fully geared dps. I was just surprised that an (albeit not augmented) IG 306 tank can tank all story mode operations without the slightest problem, and then you get squashed like a bug by the first boss of the last one. Seems a bit off.
  6. So, just tried to tank RED in a Story Mode Nature of Progress operation and he kept occasionally (but regularly throughout the fight) hitting me for over 130k with Eviscerate. Result was a wipefest. Gear is 306. Not augmented, but still. Is this supposed to be normal, or did we get some weird bug there? I'm the first to admit I've not all that much experience as a tank, but the other story mode operations were a completely different... well... story.
  7. Watch out when you make these offers, I could just accept it
  8. Ok, here's another question for you experts: I'm flying with a bomber and I get hit by what appear to be all (or most) possible debuffs (I get 7 debuff icons on my GUI) at the same time. Basically my ship is nearly stopped frozen without being able to do anything. First time this happens, I just chalk it up to having flown in the mid of several enemy ships. Then it happens a second time. I barely survive... and then a third time within a 45 seconds period. And these last two times was a 1 vs 1. Is there any ship which can do something like that?
  9. I actually have a question about this... I've seen sometimes a player having the "Damage Overcharge" icon long past the buff's allotted time. I've assumed this is simply a GUI issue, but I did have some doubt in one particular match where the guy just kept zipping around 2-3 shotting everyone.
  10. Many thanks. Will have to do some serious studying... I've managed to rise slightly above the "obviously terrible" level, but not by much
  11. I've tried looking around a bit, but most guides I can find look quite outdated. Is there any guide with tips, builds etc. which can be considered current for 6.1?
  12. I'm astounded at how many people just take their word at face value and no one even suspects that they will just get a small bunch of the worst offenders, slap them with some kind of penalty, and then come back here claiming they got "if not all, most of those who unfairly exploited Ilum" while 99.99% of the exploiters will still be roaming free with their insta-battlemaster status. Once I start seeing *HUNDREDS* of QQ threads about unfair valor rollbacks, I *might* start believing it...
  13. Yes and no. Yes in that on different servers the experience might be different. No because I' m not giving Bioware a dime for what happens on other servers. If they want *my* money, they need to make *my* experience fun. If enough players are in the same boat, you can make a pretty safe bet that this will very quickly become "the game's problems". Also, when I premade I play with some good and a few excellent players. Doesn't matter because even the best were getting destroyed by gear imbalance after the Ilum debacle. And yes, BM gear *does* make a big difference; the sum of the expertise points doesn't tell the whole story here, check the stat distribution too. And keep in mind you can cherrypick the BM pieces you get unlike what happens with lower tiers. I don't think many here are really understanding the magnitude of the problem and the snowball effect it's going to have. The problem here is quite simple: the stronger one of the factions started during the Ilum disaster, the stronger it becomes with time due to having faster access to valor, commendations, dailies and gear. People still haven't seen the *full* effect of this because the "new" battlemasters haven't had time to complete their battlemaster sets yet. With the weaker faction cut out from doing half the dailies (Ilum) and having a much harder time doing the other half (warzones being lost due to gear inferiority), it will take several months to re-equalize the field. Even if/when this happens, the stronger faction will have accumulated a colossal valor advantage so that as soon as new pvp sets are introduced the gear imbalance will be instantly recreated. The only solution would have been an immediate rollback but Bioware totally dropped the ball, and they now announced they won't do it at all (and if anyone believes the "we will investigate single players" will amount to anything different from "we will make an half-assed attempt at identifying a couple dozen of the worst offenders and give them a slap on the wrist", I've got a bridge to sell to you). Honestly at this point I don't see how they can get out of the mess they created, short of simply gifting valor level 100 and full battlemaster set to the entire playerbase, and they can't do this because it would f**k up PvE (since T3 PvP set is also perfectly viable for high-end raiding). Ironically enough, the Ilum kill trading going on on some servers is the only realistic chance of avoiding this issue.
  14. Oh, they have all the time in this world. But hell will freeze over before they are fixing this trainwreck with *MY* money. *First*, they make a game which can be fun for me (translation: in which republic chances of winning anything are better than 1E-100). *Then*, I'll start paying. Easy peasy.
