This is so sad the imbalance. Of course the kids are going to go empire, youve made them the coolest in looks and abilites. Kira even jokes about the fact that the empire have all the fashion designers.
I do not want to go back to WOW but at this moment the story driven mmo is very driven. its crashing and i want it to succeed so much.
The worst thing now is where to head forwards. The empire are so massively ahead in gear, valor and rankings that the republic on NIMAN server hardly win. It will take us so much time to get even remotely the same gear as the empire that it just wont be worth it. Some sort of rollback is required.
Please dont let this game fail. It truly is a good game but someone has dropped the ball big time on this.
AION did an excellent job activeyl balancing their servers to be either 50/50 or at most 49/51. It can be done and needs to be in a game where the one of the main pulls of the game is the empire vs the republic. as it stands it is over 100+ empire stood on the turrents aoeing them for hours on end. we cannot spawn. cannot defend. cannot do anything.
If you do not wish to balance the servers ( i dont know why you wouldnt) then at least buff the less represented side of the server like WOW did. At least give the under represented side a chance. I regret subscribing as i know this will not be fixed any time soon, definately not in the next 4 weeks.
