Patch 1.1: PvP failure

In case you havent noticed because you arent playing the game it seems.
On most if not all servers Imperial outnumber Republic players, so in case of ilum you as a republic player are screwed.

But like i said if you dont know this then you arent playing the game.

Illum is a work in progress. The initial idea was great but people just wish to trade and get pvp gear without actually pvping (Lack of republic contributes to this).

Guild premades and ladders for Huttball would make pvp extremely exciting on all servers. Faction imbalance would have no impact on this.

Double commendation days could also be a good idea.

Work in progress?
Thats what beta servers are for, the current state of Ilum everyone could have told you it was going to fail.
Unless ofc the people who tested it and developed it never played a mmo themselfs.

[QUOTE=Hyperionthethird;1670566]I really don't get the 'go back to WoW' attitude in this game, as though this isn't basically WoW in space already.[/QUOTE

I have never even played wow

so all the references are utterly wasted

The only time i say wow is in the bath

Well, there barely are enough 50s on my server to fill up one warzone. The 50 bracket will be painful ... Empire will have dozens of queued players versus 8-10 on Republic side, welcome to even more Huttball.

Full premades would be nice but would reduce my chances of keeping 100% win rate in the games where we queue as a group of 3 or 4, needs to wait till we get/level more people :P ... So far there's barely any competition in PvP, the few premades we meet offer some resistance but as a guy that has done pretty much 0 WoW Arena, minimal premades in WoW and mostly premades here I would have expected more organization.

On the Ilum side ... well, I can live without that bag if it would require me to actually kill people. I don't really have a chance when I normally don't have the healer with me when doing that daily plus we'd always be outnumbered plus is it really worth the time effort to try and find some Empire players to kill and wait for respawns and fight for objectives with low chances of getting them? I think I'm better off winning a few WZs where numbers are even.

anyone remember the good ol' days when players went out and found that perfect spot... and started a freaking war! the discovery of TM/SS in wow was one of the greatest pvp moments ive ever had, second only to the 300+ battle we started in SWG and were then told never to do again because it crashed the server.

why do people insist that developers hand them a place to pvp outside of warzones? why dont you people get off your lazy asses, grab your buddies, grab the rest of your freaking faction for that matter, and go kill.... everything! stop demanding that you have everything handed to you like a freaking child and do something for yourselves!

GW2 will be a big fail cause its a joke of a game. If you think this game has issues, wait till you see GW2 at launch. I lol'd when I got to play it and uninstalled it faster then I installed it (I suppose that always happens when uninstalling ;p)

As for Tera, its a korean game, it will be full of bots and what not so enjoy playing that as well. I thought it would be a good game, but looking at it and what my friend told me (Sinve he is in beta), the game will offer fun for a little bit and die pretty quick. but you never know.

You guys all speak like this game has been out for 1 year or something. The game is not even ONE MONTH OLD! Have some darn patience and learn to understand that all MMO's have issues at launch. Yes, even Rift had them. WOW was even worse then this and look at it, it's the #1 game in the world right now as far as MMO's are concerned.

TOR has things lined up and I am pretty sure they will fix things. They admit to Ilum being a mess and they will fix it. It's a process that isn't done in one day. Also, class balancing, they said they will start doing that march-april'ish.

Learn to have patience people.

also to add about this Ilum thing. If you did play WoW during the wrath expac and had that privldge to play wintergrasp for the first time, do you remember how bad that was? the horrible lag? the being out numbered 30 -1? being in there with 70's when you were an 80? they took months to fix that place and when Blizzard finally got it somewhat balanced they came out with a new expansion.

so just wait and they will attend to your PvP needs. Bioware has more pressing issues to deal with. Like those effing green and orange lines everywhere what the hell is that about?

After reading that the game is not going to have RVR and there is not the slightest concept of great RVR (DAOC is the best) I won't be subscribing when my subscription runs out.I cannot comprehend how laymen like us players ...."get it" when it comes to endless end game with RVR and the "pro's" don't.I can't express my deep disappointment.

wintergrasp was still pretty awesome though, siege tanks and catapult rushes and murdering people. if you wanted less people, you had the option to show up when it was less populated

this is praying for republic to show up so we can start trading. it's not something you can avoid by getting on in 3 hours and hoping less people are trying to do wintergrasp. it's a poorly designed massive pvp battleground which, because gearing is tied pretty tightly to it, is a necessary, drab, tedious drag for a part of the game which should be fun
