[SWTOR]WTF is up with people in PvP and NOT knowing what to do

[Ambreene]

ok how do you get points for attking healers so that i can get 100k didnt know that was possible

Oh, I don't get protection points for that, that's pure damage there. The protection points are from guarding my healers as well as using taunt and wither to lower the damage of people attacking them. Good teams will hit the healer and tank at the same time, bad teams tunnel vision on the healer, allowing a tank to freely debuff/disrupt them, and really bad teams ignore the healers.

You seem to be lost.

Nope its the same in every game. People just have no clue how to play. They refuse to CC/Interrupt while focusing healers. They dont assist. They dont go for objectives and just 1v1 all over the place.

[Forsedar]

Most people who pvp in games are just bad. Its the reason I stopped PvPing altogether in WoW because alliance was so horrible. Only time I will queue is if its AV weekend. So far in this game its actually fun because even if you lose you still get decent rewards. Losing in WoW was horrible and you got hardly anything. Also my record for losses in a row was 27 in WoW so far I havent lost more than 3 in a row here.

Also I like how you can mark people. Maybe alliance wouldnt have sucked so much if I could put a skull on the healers so my team could focus them.

I lost quite a bit in this game. It actually got so bad that I have officially quit PvP. I was an S1, 2, and 4 Glad in WoW so I am not bad. It seems I get unlucky and always get the teammates that try to be solo heroes and do nothing but run around ignoring objectives, etc.

I have a short temper, so having a team full of monkeys is not healthy for me.

This is a SWTOR thread not WoW

I played a sorcerer healer pre and post 1.2, late teens and early 20s. Before 1.2 it was more fun, I was able to help my team out with healing, not alot of people focused on me and if I was attacked I ran away, and if they really wanted me dead they chased me across the map and I died. Pre 1.2 I wasnt OP, I didnt really know about the bug until it was gone, but I helped my team, I survived a little bit, but I still died often. Post 1.2 my healing really sucked, my survivability lasted seconds, couldnt run because I just died in place, got focused fire more often due to premades or people getting smarter, it wasnt fun anymore, I couldnt help out my team.

So I switched to my BH arsenal and changed to healing after 1.2, I was double the level 36. My healing was lower than my sorcerer but my survivability was alot longer, but my medal count dropped in half. My heals just didnt do alot for people. But the worst part is that Im getting stunned for half the game now.

So on my server Im getting targeted more often as a healer since patch 1.2 due to whatever reasons. It just depends on the server, plus my server has more republic players than empire players.

This is a Star Wars The Old Republic thread. It has nothing to do with World of Warcraft. Stay on topic

[potis]

Its the same in every game, but Star Wars is worse.

Example:

Friend played it for a month, got to 50 etc, 3 months ago.. I watched him do an instance, or flashpoint call it whatever, after 2-3 hours they were still wiping on the level 30 something boss, that had 2 mechanics, move from fire and kill some adds that die in 2 seconds?

Something like that, no idea exactly what it was, but basically..the most basic thing possible in PvE, move from fire circle and taunt the add.

3 hours to get him, everyone was "This is my first MMO, because its Star Wars!" and there is your PvPers hitting 50 at some point.

Star Wars has many, many, many, many clueless people about MMO's even the most basic things, when it comes in PvP..Well good luck with those types...You get to roflstomp them, but when they are on your side..

[Alilei32]

Im guessing the reason we have no deserter debuff is because of all the bads?

[noahjam326]

I think actually being able to use marks in PuG PvP has made the Warzones on my server better than PuGing in WoW. It doesn't always work, but I have seen the tide of battle in a PuG change just thanks to marking.

I'm just going to chime in and say, yes, it sucks when people aren't targeting healers. HOWEVER, as a healer it sucks when everyone DOES instantly target you, especially after all the healing nerfs. When you go down so quick, it gets extremely frustrating, enough that I and other healers have wanted to stop healing. Then after that, people start to complain about how they always lose because their team never has healers. It's a vicious cycle.

[~Mynta Swirl~]

Wait, you've lost to us Imps on Cancerous Oreo? I've lost 2/3's of the warzone matches between my sorc and jug, and am on a 26 lose streak. >.<

im sorry but from what i have seen of heals lately nerf aint what i call it. I would shoot 8 Grav rounds 2 demo 2 HiBs and a couple of full autos to boot and healers are STILL at 50% or higher.

to me that aint a nerf enough lol. yea healers are supposed to have some survivability but COME ON all that firepower and they STILL live really that aint much of a nerf to me.

I will call you 1 of the unlucky ones that I get on and have others FINALLY realize that your the target to get after THEN get the caps, but hey I am the 1 dieing alot as well becuase the enemy healer is tellling his team to FOCUS on me so he can keep his teammates alive and ya know what ??? they LISTEN wish it was that easy for me

A healer who can't outheal a single attacker is completely useless. No matter how you look at it. And you can't call it anything but a nerf when the healing bonus from expertise gets cut in half, the lessened healing while in pvp got fixed, and each class except the operative/rep equiv got a class nerf.

If you are having that much problem with a healer, the only thing I can think of is they outgear you, or you're not interupting/stunning.

[Ap0calypse]

try having people still not knowing about side speeders in alderan and also sith warriors jumping to my target that i griped onto the fire thus getin the ball and dying 1 sec later

Unstoppable talent says hi. I do this get the ball and live, though usually without someone gripping the carrier.

What I hate the most is when during Huttball (love the game itself though) people having a hard time gettting the concept, PASS THE FUCKING BALL! oh and stop standing on me and get yourself infront out off the enemies so I can pass to you.

Annoying as hell

Aswell as everybody going for their own target when the enemy team focuses us down one by one.

This as well, run in front of me not behind when I have the freaking ball!

[announced]

theres actually a vote kick in swtor now im kinda curious to see how it works.. when i spot a healer ill go for him asap or cc him if hes midcasting.. i do interrupts as well.. currently playing a 31 imp sniper and man i can burst a healer down within 4-5 seconds ... flashbang the dps-> tunnel healer-> lol->

the thing ive noticed is.. if their team has a lot of healers.. they may be hard to kill but that means less dps on their team.. if ur healers can keep ur dps alive then they wont get anywhere..

i beat a team of 5 healers 3 dps vs my 2 healers 6 dps in Novarra Coast today..we capped south bunker and east and fought tooth and nail constantly for south.. their teammates never died but we didnt allow them to cap south so they lost..

Having alot of healers doesnt mean you win, usually you lose, unless they are hybrid specs then maybe you win.

My last game was 4 heals/4 deeps against 3 heals/ 5 deeps, there were a whole 4 deaths. The damage total was in the millions.

[fizzbob]

hasnt wow had rated zones for some time now? arena been around for many seasons, you'd think a new mmo would of had that prior to release, considering the popularity

it's not evne something the majority does

Have you ever went against a team of healers and guardians? No one dies.
