You guys are thinking way too small. I want a planet that our guild takes over and other guilds can attack for some sweet pvp action.

Nice guide, thx

Daniel Erickson: We’ve been pleasantly surprised at how popular PvP is in The Old Republic and we’ve been doubling down on our efforts to bring exciting new content and systems to the PvP community. Right now there’s a new Warzone planned for Game Update 1.2 which we’re already testing internally and really enjoying. We can say it’s enabled for same faction vs. same faction play, so if you’ve been playing a lot of Huttball, expect some variety soon! Also coming in 1.2 is the pre-season of our Warzone ranking system, bringing better matchmaking which means better PvP. In the future expect a ton more PvP news as we expand and polish what has proven to be one of the most popular aspects of The Old Republic. We’ve got big plans. ------------------------ This is the kind of response I feared. We already know you are making new war zones. The questions we wanted answered are about what exactly is in the works to make Ilum not suck. What is the plan for the RNG bags that make no sense?

If you go with that line of thinking no role is necessary. You don't need healers if you can all out dps the other team. You don't need dps if you can out tank/heal the other teams dps. You don't need any of it for huttball if you can just get pulled and jump to the goal before the other team catches you. All roles have their use and they can all be worked around if you don't have a certain role there. Like someone said above, it is more about working together and doing whatever it is you do best. Tanks are useful but not required. No other class is required either. I once had a Voidstar where we were all melee dps or tanks. We won because the other team couldn't survive our focus attack long enough to get the bombs.

I just got the BM title and did it all solo in WZ. Tanks are very useful even if you don't have a pocket healer. I can get all of my protection medals in the first 30 seconds of a WZ by guarding the first focus target, AOE taunt, pop all my CDs then use a health stim and the expertise stim. 4 medals right there and maybe a killing blow. After that I latch onto a dps or healer to guard the rest of the fight. I always go after the ball in huttball and guard anyone else doing the same. I also end up running the ball a lot or typing info to the team.

I think this is a great idea every Friday to try and answer the questions we have about the game. I just want to give a fair warning that if you don't answer some of the hard questions that have been asked you are just going to enrage the players again. One of the biggest issues I see and have myself is the lack of communication about issues. I will use Ilum as an example. The last few patches have made that area go from bad to worse. It really is the worst open world pvp zone in MMO history. If some actual communication was done with the people on the forums then the changes made might have never happened because you would have realized the problems before they went live. Please answer the hard question that have been asked. After that start a true discussion on each forum with the players to move forward. I have seen great ideas on the PVP and Crafting forums. Tell us what you are thinking. "We are working on the issue" is not a proper answer.

I'm not sure where people get the headaches but everyone is different. I am sure you guys will put in an option for people to set it how they like in the future. At least that is the smart thing to do. Just make a slider for people to set how bright it is to them and that complaint is solved. Then just add another color to indicate if the skill will actually be usable after the GCD is done. I like the look with the setting I have. I would just like a red overlay or something on skills that have not procced yet.

The problem with your post is that the first Fact is your speculation. I promise you there are more pre orders right before the game came out than when it was first announced. I would go as far to say the month of December almost matches Jul-Nov in number of people that ordered. People are still pre-ordering now. The fact that they only got through half of Dec 8th shows that they are releasing a certain number of people in their waves and the actual date is not a factor. If they are only going to let in X number, then once they hit that number that wave is done. Next wave is going to be the same way. I bet half of a certain day get invites and the other half have to wait for the next wave.

I said good bye to SWG a long time ago when they jacked it all up with character classes.

Being a vanity type in all the MMOs I play, I'm sure I will have a post some day with all the cool vanity stuff the game has to offer.

Depends.. Are you suppose to know you are getting the game already. If you already know you are getting it then play on. If you are not suppose to know you are getting it then play on quietly and don't get caught

Sep 29th here but fought for a workable code all the way up to last week. I will be keeping an eye on this post to see when you guys get in because BW said my late code entry problem would not affect my early access.

I get the feeling everyone feels like this guy right now for not getting into the game today. Gnight all, see you at the forum trolling lottery tomorrow

Man, I am going to have no credits in this game. first there is a CE only shop and now a security code only shop. I am starting to hope the stuff in the shop sucks just so I don't run out of credits buying every stupid little thing they have to offer.
