Just dinged 50 today and decided to to some pvp. Dam my character feels squshy especially for somebody whoes supposed to be a protection spec.
Also seems about 90% of the imperial side seems to be sith sorcerers spamming their lighting at me every 2 seconds.

I'll assume you're a tank spec Guardian then


Alas some idiots at Bioware thought it would be a good idea to give tanks PvP tools then design the entire combat system so that the majority of classes/specs have large amounts of damage/attack types that ignore defenses/armour. Basically as a tank the only classes you can come close to being able to fully use your defensive stats is against sentinels/marauders

Looks like 1.2 is coming next week on the 10th

Source?

Apparently Bioware made a "text error" which made people think it was coming on the 10th, they've said it's not http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?p=3775494#edit3775494

Oh well

Being the cynic i am, my guess is 24th for release. Only tuesday left in April after the 20th (billing date for majority of people).

Yeah let's not be stupid, a major patch before subs run out? aaaahhahah no, they want people to resub to "try it out"
They'd be stupid not to, as well as being dirty about it too

 

[Ja5peruk]

Well they would also be stupid to think am going to waste more money, just to see what the new patch is like.............

Time for me to move on a think!

Trying Rage specced Juggernaut for PvP atm and so far loving it! Last few games I've been in top 3 for medals, and still in full tank gear while I farm commendations for Champion gear.

I just love the mobility and the guaranteed Smash crits that followed.

I have a Jug with Rage spec, ive struggled with PVP (WZs).

Smash is brill for Rage, though i die quite often when playing WZs, guess i just suck lol.

I have around 16.5K health, i focus on all my force abilities with PVP, but i still struggle sometimes, though im now getting together some decent Centurion armour now.

Ive just sent around 300k to my level 17 smuggler as im going to level up and see what the smuggler is like at PVP, im also started WZs since level 10 with my smuggler, with my Jug i didnt start PVP, WZs till level 50 so thats maybe why im struggling a bit now.

If you wanna dominate in pvp play a darkness assassin and use dps gear.

But what's your definition of dominate? 10+ medals per game? Most kills? Most damage?

I agree though and wish I could swap my Jugg for an Ass. I love stealth characters for PvP. I mostly do WZs with my cousin, and he is consistently top with medals as a Darkness Ass. As much as I'm loving the beginning of the Inquisitor storyline, I really cba to go through all those non-Class Empire quests again!

Which server?

 

[Vuvuzela]

ToFN

Read the Q&A's from PAX East. Server/Char transfers coming soon after 1.2.

Starting with Asia/Pac first then the rest of us.

Forstclaw is busy but ToFN is crazy busy and it really does makes a big difference!

A shame it has taken this long. Anyone stuck on a quite server is much more likely to leave than re-roll on a busy server, I know I would.

I agree mate, way to long to sort it out. At least they working on it. Trying to think how long Rift took before they did server transfers, but then again they didn't have so many servers at launch.

I'm keeping my BH on Frostclaw but have re rolled some new toons on ToFN.

It amazes me with the amount of money EA threw at this game, that they didn't have a backup plan for under populated servers. I would have thought that they would have learned everything that went wrong with other popular MMO's and made sure that it didn't happen with SWTOR. I just don't understand EA sometimes.

So i think we can safely say TDR is completely dead, the past week the maximum ive seen on is two people who the proceeded to quickly leave. kinda sad.

Agree, went away for a week, came back and most people had left. I thought the guild was moving in the right direction.

There were some good folks in there. Had a blast teaming with them. I can understand why so many have moved on though.

It wasn't to do with the game(I don't think so), most of the 50's were not doing enough Ops and Flashpoints and were getting a little frustrated with this. They joined another guild who raid 2/3 times a week.
