Post 1.1 Ilum PVP Issues Discussion

You forget in SWG once you hit the cloner you were un-flagged PvP. So you couldn't camp the cloner.

I agree with you on everything else except the population caps in open world pvp zones. If your going to cap the population you might as well make all PvP a que based system where everything is auto balanced.

Bioware needs to put an end to the soft point re-spawn camping. There does need to be safe zones to re group. Even implementing random re spawn spots around Ilum would go a long way in reducing base lock downs.

Good point. That guy is hilarious. Still. =)

But I suppose that's what I get for trying to be nice to the developers on the forums; I'm making just as much difference as the whiners I'm trying to quell. I honestly apologize for wasting our time. Didn't mean to "White Knight". I'll just play my game and be quiet.

I did not renew my subscription.

This game had a great start with only a few minor bugs and a lot of promise. Leaving the blue 50 pvp gear just long enough for a select few to get a whole set, I could deal with. Starting warzones with 2-3 less people than the other side, I could kind of deal with. Animation advantages, Imps getting their cc's earlier than Repubs, bugged talents that favor Imps, I figured it would even out.

But this is just too much. Being down 1 or 2 people in the all 50 warzones sucks, but being down 1 or 2 people v. full battlemaster team is just a no go for me.

I had a lot of faith in this game because of the names behind it, but you guys just aren't ready for prime time.

PS Not just for the substance of what happened (the valor issue itself), but also for your disturbing inability to address, resolve, or communicate it within any reasonable period of time. Servers up for 8hrs? 1 response saying a response will come "shortly"? Just not ready for prime time.

Ya shortly probably wasn't the best choice of words, but honestly, as a software developer myself,....shortly is an extremely relative term.

I encourage you to 'get off of it', and go RL somewhere if you're this thoroughly dissatisfied.

Ilum bases

As ive stated in other posts the main issues with these bases is lack of defenses.

The bases need the following things implented

1. The bases need lot more gaurds and wall turrets. I say this b/c as were seeing really now more then ever that the opposite side can sit in the other sides base.

2. The bases need to be more deeper like the main bases when u land on ilum. They need to be closed off and have 1 entrance in/out

3. Thier needs to be a base boss to kill thats 80 to 100k deep inside of the base. This boss needs to have the highest chance of getting pvp gear/champion bags and even armor pieces in themselves. I base this on how easy it is to take the bases currently. Shooting a rocket and camping the repair box is just not doing. Theres needs to be a raid to go into the base and strategically kill a base boss on top of taking the turrets. This would make for better pvp and more people organizing to fight for an objective

So heres how the base take over should be

1. use rocket launcher kill turrets
2. Fight your way inside the base (should be lots of door gaurds and droids/turrets to fight your way through.
3. Kill the base boss thats a 80-100k deep inside the base then cap the base.
4. Loot boss or chest (This boss must have the highest drop rate for champion bags/commendations and even gear itself)

4. The repair box for the turrets needs to be inside the base why this is outside? I do not know. This makes for harder and a better experience to take the turrets out. Anyone can go shoot a rocket launcher up there and camp the repair box.

5. We need to have healers be able to heal please remove -30 healing

6. We need to have more functional/more useful manable gun turrets

7. Faction imbalance im going to be honest gabe your gonna need to open rvr and other servers ability to come and go to have functional pvp on any server. This issue cannot be adressed with same faction vs same faction. Really need to get this rvr and cross server pvp going

8. Raid assist we cant do much in a raid with no raid assist. Ive complained about this issue in beta. If you want to form a community and have organized groups fighting we need a raid assist badly


These ideas imho would go a long way in ilum i know theres going to be lag and fps issues and theyve stated there working on them.

To gabe i hope you read and consider these ideas. I think this would really improve things if one side could actually defend thier base and putting a base boss would create more raiding and better fun for all.

Please post constructive ideas ill admit like a lot of people im getting very frustrated and i want this to succeed for us all both sides.

They rushed the patch so they could get it out before resub day.

The biggest irony here is that more people will unsub upon seeing how broken the patch made things, than would have had the patch not been released at all.

Also, STILL waiting for that response that was coming shortly, BW.

Roll back valor and allow valor gains to be gotten via the capture of assault points and opposing base turret destruction. Don't simply base it off kills, because either way, no matter how many turrets you have in place, you will enable the imperials to farm us on all servers.

A 6 man group was able to freely roam outside the Republic base and we completed our daily in an hour and capped points over ten times, just by using smart tactics and good teamwork. Triumvirate owns the Republic PvP scene on The Twin Spears server. Reward us for it, don't penalize us by forcing us to do meaningless objectives.

How long have you played this game? BOP silly imperial...

How many genius repubs allowing themselves to be farmed is that?

Sounds like BS to me

All you" if dont get what i want, i cancel my sub" whiners, and try to get other with you cause you have nothing else to do.

None of you that come with cancel my sub whine whine whine is not doing it, give bioware time, let them work for god sake, do you think they work any faster with kid`s whining and screaming on forum as fast as they dont get what they want??

Go play in kinder garden or something.
