3/10 It needs tons of fixes. Illum is a ghost town and no point besides farming dailies, Class imbalances, Level/Gear imbalance, Skill lag, Seperate brackets needed, consumables need nerfed. I could go on but I think MOST everyone knows what I am talking about.

3/10

Fixing ability delay and warzone performance issues would bring that up to 6-7/10. Class balance and warzone map changes would bring it up further but waiting for those wouldn't be anywhere near as bad as waiting for delay fix; no MMO has gotten classes anywhere near well balanced from the start (TOR is one of the better in this regard, and I've PvP'd in pretty much all major MMORPGs of the last half dozen years close to release) and skill plays in so you can still roll all over bads even if they're playing specs that are overpowered in an objective sense.

If Bioware prioritises animations of character responsiveness, PvP in this game will always be a joke.

I disagree. Yea, sorcerer's are one of the more popular classes but most aren't great players. The sage's on the other hand, throw those pebbles which are more difficult to detect than a giant bolt of lightning. And both have counter classes as well, operative and smuggler usually can beat them if they outplay them. Each and every class/AC I have found to be completely deadly in their own rights.

2/10 I was hoping for more but getting controlled and taken down in 2 hits isn't fun when you have 1 escape on a 2 min cooldown.

Class balance can be measured someday if good players ever start to play this game as PvP game.

3/10 for me. Huttball is fun for the first couple of games or so, but it gets really old after a while.
The rest of the WZs are getting boring even faster. Being forced to gear yourself through RNG bags is pretty stupid as well, if the gear should be hard to obtain try something else, but the bag thing is just stupid.

Ilum is a joke and open world PvP is non-existent at this point.

Overall it's pretty fun, but the class balance seems a little bit off at the moment (or totally f'd if you look at some classes) and the WZs are getting really boring and the game isn't even released for a month. I don't think I'll play the game longer then ~2 month.

Currently a 7, will go up to 8 or 9 once they implement all of this:
