So far everyone I've queued rated with dreads Voidstar. This may be because we only have sorcerer healers though. It's definitely guess right or get roasted right off the bat when defending.

i love it that people dread having to actually strategize off the break..

[BattleMonkey]

Sorcs are good for it, they can see where things are going and pull players who need a quick ride up the wall, and they also got the sprint to get around quicker than most.

Voidstar used to be so boring as so many games never would leave that first room.

You wouldn't happen to be on the bastion/imp side would you?

[Yaska]

Gotta love playing on populated server. Used group finder and got into so many fps today :D So much fun.

Run into a couple teams using the group stealth and predation in rated who double back after showing one side or the other, you'll see what I'm saying. It's not entirely a crapshoot, but it's about as much fun to me as Civil War, which is on the same level as grinding furbolgs in Winterspring for Timbermaw rep.

We have been splitting 4 and 4 or 5 and 3 with more beef on the 3 side, but it's not exactly a perfect science. It depends entirely on what exactly it is they send and if you have the classes and players to counter.

We sent 2 tanks 2 heals one side and all our dps the other and took the door within a matter of seconds in one rated game, and it has also worked other times just not as quickly, because they made the mistake of putting their heals on the side we showed first. We've went 2-3 in there, but it went from the top of the list to riding in the back of the truck with CW for me.

[Heysoos]

Nothing makes me close the game fucking faster and any will to play for the day than random disconnects. Hate it so fucking much. Once it does it, I just can't stand playing so I quit. Ugh.

And it always happens in the middle of fucking Warzones, which is the worst. I don't even know how I'm going to play rankeds when I have to worry about just randomly getting kicked off the server and losing rank when the game does this stupid shit.

So, it went from your most liked to least liked over that 20 foot (give or take) wall divider? I think you have to at least admit that something needed to be done with the first stage... nothing is more infuriating than to kill 6 out of 8 ppl on 1 side just to have an inquisitor force speed his ass over to my side and interrupt my plant at 7.9999 seconds...

[Alur]

No, Civil War is and always will be my least favorite. The day they implement Novare like capping or some other sort of mechanic to spice it up will be a great day indeed.

As for the new Voidstar, I have enjoyed it the times we've played normal, which is admittedly small so far. It's a huge advantage over the unsuspecting pug group. I haven't noticed a whole lot of difference cap wise with the first door as far as zerg interrupting. Teams we've played still do it, as have we at times.

The great thing though, like you're saying, is when you're attacking they can't keep up the door block zerg forever. The wall does a great job at creating confusion and uncertainty.

Agreed. Matches are rarely a nail bitter.

So, I found the secret to winning all the Ranked matches. Stack 3 Assault Vanguards. So unbalanced. :lol..

[CzarTim]

Ugh. More maintenance. I want to level my smug :(

[Dunlop]

Man for all my bitching about things I dislike about the Hero Engine (read: practically everything) my framerate was always good.

...until 1.3 and now my game plays like complete horsh*t no matter what changes I do to my video settings.

My sub ends in 18 days, was planning one renewing amonth until GW2 hits, not so much now

[Thoraxes]

You can group find for any flashpoint upto the level your at, you also get commendations but I see loads of people on the fleet moaning about how it doesnt work and stuff

As well as the above. Might be waiting a while though if you aren't a tank or healer. Meaning questing or warzoning(with the perks) is probably quicker.

Thanks both of you.

My game runs better since 1.3 lol. And that's with all the settings on highest.

[HBroward]

Party Instigator, requires social 5 and may be purchased from the social vendor on Taris for the Imperial side, not sure on pub side.

Second best item. Intergalactic Party Bomb is where it's at.

I don't know why that is. Since the 1.3 optimizations I've had my framerate improve 20 fps while at Max.

I'm on pretty outdated hardware too.

Q6600 quadcore 3.2ghz

I would upgrade your video drivers to the newest beta drivers for either amd/ati or nvidia as both sets have shown improved performance...

[Dunlop]

I'll try to update the drivers this weekend, most people I know had improvements with the patch which is why my prefermance taking a nosedive is pretty funny.

Like I said my sub ends this month so I am not too concerned, but I had been having fun in PVP since the merge (and there are actual pops) and thought to keep doing this until GW2

[BattleMonkey]

Yea I got a performance increase in alot of areas with 1.3

1.2 improved stuff as well quite a bit, if they keep going at this rate, the game might play great someday :P

Its only a week bro, just make sure Kaz doesn't replace me with a better healer :(

[Draxal]

Today's q and a is up. No eta on dual spec is really disheartening (group finder would benefit so much from this).

And honestly, I hope they wait a bit before doing an event again. Wait for the shine of 1.3 to wear off a bit, ranked warzones/lfg (due to black hole comms) plus server transfers added enough spark to the game right now. I really don't want a repeat of 1.2.

There is wisdom in this statement. We're just greedy is all :P.

It'd be nice to bring one in about three weeks in or something, maybe even a month.

I will 100% make sure that you are replaced with Sera and Areo.

Anyone know how long it would take me to get from social level 1 to 3? Also, if i run through regular mode black talon at a high level would it yield me the same amount of social level points?

Do Flashpoints scale up are they always at a set level? Meaning there is no point in doing them once you leave a planet? Are there any plans on making have difficulty ranges if they already don't?

Flashpoints have a set level as noted in your quest log. Generally they have no bearing to the planets, you can do them whenever. You still get decent look and exp for doing them usually within 5 lvls of the FPs lvl

Can't even be fucked to beat Hard Karagga to get the Nightsycthe, using it would just remind me of the underhanded betrayal involved.

Hindsight is making me wish I had wiped us hard.

Gonna be hard to find a replacement now I think.

It was completely fucked, but let's not drag down the thread.

[HBroward]

I'll just leave this here. And for the record, no, I do not think it will happen. I have reverted back to pessimism, it always left me surprised to the upside at least.

They are better off to wait if they have one, like Draxal said. Who knows if they will follow through though...anyone with a brain working on this game should realize it would be a huge boon for them and entice the people playing to keep playing, and maybe bring a few more back.

Having more interesting color crystals and pets and mounts to chase is always a good thing.

[HBroward]

Another nice change is getting social points for downing things in boss fights. I went from social 8 to 9 just doing the Kephess battle over a period of 2-3 days while our tanks got their roles down.

I'm still Valor 86 with Social 1 :( So embarassing. I wish I had gotten credit for all that raiding and world bossing we did in GAF Empire.

Social 1? Do you not even run dailies? Where do your credits come from?

Yup my social status has been garbage and them doing two raids in a row, my social ranking has finally moved quite a bit. Was always dumb that raids gave pretty much no social points when its one of the most social aspects a person does in the game.
