I always try to be constructive and realitively positive.....BUT ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. I never PvP. However, since I became factioned, it becomes part of the game. So fine.

WHY CANT I HIT ANYTHING????

I spent the whole freaking night getting killed by opposing factions because I cant hit them.

I WAS 4m BEHIND THEM THE WHOLE TIME!!!!

That is well within my crappy range. I was on fire, I was electrified. I was also buffed and took a crapload of damage, but didn't lay one finger on them. I lunged, swept, hit, bled...everything in my playbook.

NOTHING LANDED!!!!!!!!

I used a lance, best range, best mods, NOTHING.

Then, they followed me into the clone, and killed me there. Then they would let me get out of the clone and incapp me, over and over and over and over and over....getting the picture? The coward dies a hundred deaths, the hero dies but one.

WELL I'M NO FREAKING COWARD...BUT I DIED FOREVER!!!!!

I can't put it in any nice language as to how bad this is. I don't care if I don't have a flame thrower or whatever

BUT LET ME DEFEND MYSELF AT LEAST!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who gives a crap if some NPC look unclothed from a distance...

FIX US NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

only thing thats in testing now is like reduced ham costs for us, teh range isnt good and the ranged accuracy modifiers suck especially for lower level ppls. but anyways whatlvl polearm/pikeman are you?

0,0,4,2

Your accuarcy is to low. I almostnever miss with a lance. You need to skill up, I'm afraid.

How could I miss, when I was NEVER in range. It was not a matter of oops, you missed. I never got the chance to swing. Period. My accuracy could have been +4 million, I never got a miss message, I got atarget out of range message. over and over.

Today, while running along, a diseased Vrelt attacked me. I couldn't be bothered to stop, so I just kept running. Even tho he was 10m behind me, I still managed to auto hit him, till he died. Thereis something wacked about this.

Ah okay. Well it's not a Pike issue. Thats more of a Melee issue. I tested that with a TK master and letting you know he couldn't hit me either. I chased him around and then him, me. Basically, if he's running you will never touch em.

What I ended up doing was running the other direction after a few well placed mind shots. Eventually, he was forced to meditate. Ya run in Dizzy, then KD. Least that's how I did it.

Yeah, we can't seem to hit while moving, which doesn't make sense because ranged users are allowed to shoot while moving (and pistoleers even get a accuracy bonus when moving)

I think we need to add "being able to hit an opponent while we are moving" issue needs to be added to our list.

I wouldn't even mind if we just missed alot while running, seems right. But ranged users can fire through their backs and hit us every time, or very nearly. One guy was even killing me through the floors/walls of the clone. Come on. It would at least be handy if we could hide a bit, run around a corner, duck into a building. But they seem to matter not at all. Blasters fire straight through. That is one heck of a shot. Sometimes I can't see a target that is right in front of me. Any visitors to the Tusken Fort can verify that.

/agree A lance is the pvp weapon. Also try and go for Dizzy and KD, these have nice effects in pvp.

No offense or anything, but the only way you'll be noticed with all caps by the devs, is on the main swg discussion page.... They don't come around here too often

I was very grumpy that day, and caps was my solution to not swearing like a sailor. Exclamation points helped a bit too.

Yeah the evil "out of range error". Its a HUGE problem with all melee. Marlok's, Fambaa's, snakes.... all are bascially invincible to us unless we manually chase them around hitting them. Its that dang server/client position screw up. The devs have said they will extend melee range to compensate (Of course the ranged players are crying, whining, and biting each other like rapid weaselsabout that) but an ETA was not given or this fix.
