2/10 And thats just because while levelling in Alderaan I had loads of great PvP encounters.

However the general PvP of this game is utter rubbish and this was my main reason for buying. I am level 36 and have pvped on only 2 planets so far, Tatooine and Alderaan.

I rolled PvP so I could encounter Sith as I level up, have some battles, get attacked as I quest but apart from Alderaan it's been a very safe universe devoid of any action at all, it's very, very poor.

I won't even comment on warzones as I don't class that as mmo pvp.

Map design: 10/10

These are the most immersive, most tactically interesting PvP instances I've ever seen. Far superior to WOW, WAR and Rift.

Class design: 5/10

Not bad, really. I like that taunts have a PvP effect and it's clear that they put some thought into how classes will work in PvP. But it's less than perfect. I still have abilities that don't work in PvP.

But I have too many abilities that are just ... "obvious". When do I want to use Rocket Punch? Every time it's lit up, that's when. I have to assign a hotkey to it and remember to use it when it's ready and that's about it. Which brings me to:

User Interface: 4/10

In other games, I would just macro these "obvious" abilities on top of other abilities, which made the UI a lot cleaner but SWTOR doesn't support macros. It also doesn't support custom UI layouts, and has pretty limited space for a game that requires you to assign so many hotkeys to so many useful-but-tactically-uninteresting abilities.

Rocket Punch is an example of an ability I should just be able to put on "auto-cast" and drag off the screen somewhere. It's taking up a hotkey and a quickbar slot for a completely obvious thing that I would never want to not use.

Rocket Punch is just one example but there are many abilities like this in every class. You could macro 6 things into 1 hotkey without losing any tactical edge.

Group friendliness: 2/10

Awful. 4-man groups are all you can queue with. Lack of open world PvP until level 50 and that zone launched incomplete.

Hope you didn't invite more than 3 friends to SWTOR.

Drop this to "1/10" after they introduce brackets, which will be the nail in the coffin to many friend groups. The game encourages soloing to the extent that it's almost impossible to level together even as pure PvE.

Amount of PvP content: 2/10

Almost couldn't be worse. 3 small maps and 1 open world map that you can't really participate in until level 50.

1/10

Open pvp yields no rewards and instanced pvp is the worst experience ever between lag and huttball.

3/10 due to 50's being put against everyone else in WZ. Once that changes I'll give it 7/10.

I'm hating the pvp system atm. The rewards are far better than pve, and because of it my 'elite pve raid guild' does nothing but pvp all the time. It's seriously getting me and a few others really pissed of.

PVP shouldn't gear you for PvE faster and better than PvE can!

So atm, PVP is a 0 for me.
