Drack Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I play on the empire side, and the first 10 warzones I did 1 was vs republic on alderaan, 9 was against empire in huttball. Is there a huge imbalance here or what the hell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storpannan Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 The population of the empire was about 2.1 times bigger on PvP servers as of december the 13th, maybe even more now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macmads Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 You don't read forums often do you ? Yes, playin' as empire involves loving huttball games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orangerascal Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 (edited) Yes ... random sampling of polls showed empire to republic ratios any where from: 60/40 to 70/30. We all knew empire would be the over populated site (hence we rolled republic). FTW 70/30 is a huge 2.333:1 Edited December 16, 2011 by Orangerascal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a huge imbalance here or what the hell? um yeah. My trooper does not have a problem, but you sith people got lumped with all the kids who think its cool to be bad and so massively outnumber republic. It was quite clear this was going to happen.

Drack Posted December 16, 2011 Author Share Posted December 16, 2011 Im level 32 right now, and im very sure I could not get my guild to reroll anyhow =( I rooted for the republic because I had a hunch this would happen. I really hope that by release there will be more republic guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BW made a mistake by putting a 10 years old faction design into SWTOR. Neutral faction would be the way to reduce scope of the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyImTempzz Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 BW made a mistake by putting a 10 years old faction design into SWTOR. Neutral faction would be the way to reduce scope of the issue. This. Things like BH could easily play this role. I also would say smuggler could fit in this catagory too. Another is making the lightside/darkside alignment actualy change your faction... i think that would be intresting, hell the number of people who say. "I wanted to be a sage but Sorc looks cooler so ill just be a light side sorc." is riddiculus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murah Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 A third faction and open world pvp would make this negligent. Dream on, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inseeisyou Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 A third faction and open world pvp would make this negligent. Dream on, right? For everything that seems to be good about this game this is the one thing that baffles me. Same issue over on WO between Order and Destruction. Potential for imbalance is so great with only two factions. Having three with the potential for an alliance (forced?) between the two underdogs is better. Sadly it is obvious a huge amount of work and very unlikely to come anytime soon if at all. Just turn PVP into a free for all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAoC anyone? ) But yeah, I think everyone KNEW sith would probably outnumber republic 2-1 or 3-1 O_o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonch Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Level 32?? Did someone use an exploit? He's probably been playing for 3 days now.... If you can't get 32 in 3 days you're an RPer or you're just a slow leveler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varcan Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 (edited) Well I personally stomped at least 50 player char. Sorcs last night in warzones. I'm sure a few ragequit and rerolled:p I'm doin my part! Edit: And my warzone exp is delightfully varied on Republic side. Even split with only perhaps slightly less Huttball (35/35/30) split I'd say. Come on over guys, the weather's warm, and the grass is green.
