    Kiting is about as lame as it can get in a PvP game.  I am not trying to offend you and I am sorry if that sounds harsh, but it is true.

     

    I am sure it is a valid tactic, but it is just weak as far as game balance goes.  If your only option is to keep your enemy snared, rooted or whatever while you run circles around them chipping away at their health, then there is something wrong with the class design.  I am sure melee classes don't find it enjoyable to be permasnared trying to chase down someone either. 

     

    There are other tactics that do include swords *gasp* in conjunction with snares/roots, disarm, detaunt, and highly dependant on a morale ability, etc, but these are all a result of the classes inability to deal effective damage. 

     

     

    I really liked my shadow warrior in the early levels, but since then things have gotten much worse.  Saying we are "support dps" is just a way of saying you don't do as much damage as other classes.  Sure people will talk about topping damage charts shooting spiral fletched arrows, but it honestly doesn't really accomplish much.  A few hundred health off people with many thousands of health...

    I'm a better player than most.  I use the tactics given, not the one that you wish for.  I 'wish' I could stand toe to toe with a tank, but that isn't going to happen.  The previous poster gave his impressions on SWs, I gave mine.  I don't care how lame kiting is for you, it is the best and most effective way to currently play a SW at level 21.  Of course, you are probably a tank or melee dpser, and I'm sure that is quite frustrating for you.  Actually, my 2nd is a Swordmaster, and I tend to do quite well with that one as well, even against ranged.  I guess it just takes thought.  

    I just don't see where it is you're coming from.  Oh well, wish in one hand...

    -

    Be in on the football field, the softball park or in a job interview, any time some one "told" me that they are "better", they never have been.  If you are turly good, you dont have to say it, people see it.

    I didn't take "I'm a better player than most" to be a brag, he's simply saying he's not someone new to MMo's and that a skirmish specced SW is specifically designed to fight on the run.

• • Is it worth starting this game alone?

  • I haven't played in more than a year, but I never had trouble finding groups even as a Captain.  There's also quite a bit you can do solo.  I always found the community to be good so I'd give it a go if you're interested.

    Maybe the game should have been stabalized before it launched?

    
     

    Maybe this is just a normal MMORPG launch

    
     

    Maybe if all of us didn't use this as a freakin' excuse for shitty games then it would happen less often. An MMO is the same as any other game, it should be launched finished. Saying it's normal for MMOs shouldn't be an excuse and I hate it when people use this. This is why we're given broken promises.

    Because we let companies make the broken promises and give them their own excuses.

    
     

    how do customers let companys break promises? We have no control over what they do, MMORPGs are NOT like regular PC games, maybe once you understand that, you wont be so angry all the time.

    And yes, we have complete control over what they do (depends on which sense you mean, but in what we're speaking of, we certainly do). We are the consumer. Companies work for us just as much as we work for them. It's how business works.

    
     

    alright enlighten me on how "customers can control major businesses". Because the customers didnt control SOE with the SWG:NGE, and i dont see any customers controlling AOC/FC. So please, tell me your ridiculous definition of consumers controlling companies.

    
     

    By not giving them our money. I can't wait to see FC's next report on how many customers they have.

    
     

    all your doin is making a statement by not giving them money, doesnt mean they are going to change or not, if you give them your money, or if you choose not to. Its really sad to think some people believe they can control a giant company like FC because you dont give them money, the only people who are controlling FC are the people who own it.

     

    Yes, because SWG was so successful with their strategy of refusing to listen to what their customers wanted.  All those stupid people who thought they could make a difference by cancelling over the NGE?  Yeah didn't bother SOE one bit.

    It doesn't matter if it did or did not hurt SOE in the end.  A person has to do what they think is right and if they think the right thing to do is to stop giving people money for misleading them then thats what they should do. 
     

    Not all protests work, but that's no reason to quit protesting.  Where would we be if individuals didn't stand up to larger companies, governments etc?  Men died again and again to get fair labor practices, women fought for years (and still do) for equal rights, one woman chose not to go to the back of the bus 50 some years ago and it became the rallying point for social change.  I'm not trying to compare boycotting SOE to the labor movement, women's liberation or thecivil rights movement, but how sad is it that people won't fight something they feel is unjust for the sake of fighting injustice if they don't get immeditate results and recognition?

    i figure you an educated person, we both know that education is shit in the us. We both knnow that media controls the country. Be serious, most us residents think russia invaded georgia, that is a lie and we know it. some still think the state of georgia was invaded, how sad is that. i rest my case, the us is a state of media zombies and there is no way it is going to change unless people like you and me speak up to tell the truth

     

    Bah sorry to double post again but...actually we have a pretty good education, just everything else makes us stupid....so you're wrong there.

     

    I don't know where you come from but if the us president says, i quote:

    "this is the 21at century, you can not just invade a country, take the capital and remove the government"

    I find that pretty, interesting, considering the what the US did. Don't you?

    Don't you think it's a bit ignorant to assume the 300 million people in the US are all Bush clones?  This kind of lazy branding of an entire nation gets a bit tiresome.  Looking at your profile I see you're from Germany, shall I assume you're reading these forums in lederhosen while eating a schnitzel taking the occasional break to walk your schnauzer?  None of my friends voted for Bush, in fact those from Texas have voted against him 4 times now.  Yes the man is an embarassment, but he lost the popular vote even after stealing 2 elections so he's never exactly gotten a ringing endorsement.
     

     

    Well played, that was funny and i mean it! no sarcasm. Why by all means has he got the presidency for 2 periods? Conspiracy? rigged votes? No, he got a lot of votes and you know it. It is an embarrassment to have a high school drop out alcoholic failure as president. It is just that the media that is bought by the supporters that do no report it.

    I won't argue for a second that special interest groups run our country (or the world) or that the same people that support Bush are the same ones that control the media or that neither election should have been close enough to have one state swing the result.  If Thomas Jefferson were alive today he'd vomit if he saw what happened to the constitution.  My point is simply, don't lump us all in with that buffoon, we're also the country that spawned Bob Dylan,  Ernest Hemingway, Ralph Waldo Emerson, JD Salinger, Martin Scorcese, Bill Hicks and on and on, associate us with them...
