Come roll on The Maw, we need some more PvPers with determination.

Where did I say that?

Now that said, are we talking about objective based pvp now? Here I thought we were talking about pvp as in player vs player and a one vs one scenario, hence why I described an ordinary scenario for me when I am out and about in the world.
Is there any non-objective based pvp content? Do you consider the ability to apply a pvp flag "content"? I don't believe you specified that your posts were coming from a dueling perspective. If you are talking about 1 vs. 1 then surely there is no underdog?

Quote:
Please don't mix arguments in a rather misguided attempt to prove your superiority. Anyone who can read can tell that objective based pvp is not what I was alluding to. I am well aware of the differences in play style between the two types of engagement.
I could tell that your tactic wasn't best for objective based pvp. However forum posts are just text, I only know what you type. If you don't say "in 1 on 1 world pvp" how should I know that's what you mean?

Quote:
Likewise who suggested that simply spamming your most powerful attack was a recipe for success in any play style of pvp? It must have been you because it certainly was not me. Spamming any ability is not something I personally equate with "reacting", although I suppose it is indeed a "reaction" of sorts, but hey to each their own I guess. If it works for you go for it.

Have fun !
I accept that may have been a slight exaggeration.

So hey, big boy, if you think you're all that impressive and look down on players who don't leave their bases to fight a massive sea of red all by themselves, perhaps you should reroll Republic and lead the charge.

If you ain't going to walk the walk, don't talk the talk. You'll only show the world how ignorant you are.
I take it you ignored the screenshots I posted of an equal game where we had them out of their base? Yeah I thought so.... troll somewhere else please.

Yeah, I'm republic... but i hate to say it real PvP players don't play this game as it's not really a pvp game. That would require a non class/item based system that has a little more then a rock/paper/sissors component to it. We play the game because it's Starwars and we dont' have any other option for a starwars LAN Game.

FYI there are numerous SW games which can be played on LAN.

Real PVPers get on with it and PVP rather than cry on the forums that one power casts maybe half a second quicker.

Real PVPers just relish battle and will fight 10 v 20 or 15 vs 20 because you can still win (okay 100 v 10 is obviously not the case, but that's only on some servers and proven not to be the case on others and anyway you can't have more than 50 in there now.)

Real PVPers PVP for PVP sake and PVP all the time regardless of the gear and how long it takes to get rather than wanting battlemaster gear in 5 minutes, crying that the RNG makes them go sob sob, a week or a month until they get gear while real PVPers could wait a year of grinding to get gear and not be bothered because it's the PVP they are going for, not the shiny pixels.

So yeah, the side doesn't really matter. It's your behaviour that determines a real PVPer and not the side you choose.
LOL - right. In this game if you're Imp you have an automatic advantage - plain and simple.

Depends on server.

Getting bored of typing it, but sooner or later people will understand it.

And for Illum it was just blob and win. Where is the fun in that? I'd much rather that my achievements reflect skill, teamwork and better tactics than just camping and blobbing. I am not saying I am an elite pvp'er, far by, but at least my achievements will reflect my skills and not that I am leeching of others and taking the easy road.

I know its human nature to get "stuff" as easy as possible but others prefer a real challenge and the glory in the victories that follow. That's why I say, Real PVP'ers play Republic.

Also, when people are outnumbered, or in a so called "target rich environment" they tend to work better together and form stronger friendships. I prefer that much more than the trollfest of Huttball the Empire has become.

To my empire friends I say. Enjoy your victories now, because out of our hardship will grow a fierce bunch with better skills, better teamwork and better tactics. And you will be stuck with all your egocentric "n00bs" in battlemaster they got for free and a split community from all your trolling in Huttball.

Just posted something along these lines in another thread. SO glad I saw someone else who feels the same way. Thank you for trying to perpetuate a positive attitude regarding minority pvp.
