You are going to lose subs if u don't incentivise republic.

all huttball on our server with people roaming around searching for anybody to fight in ilum.



this. is. bad.

It's quite simple imo. Jedi's are way too peaceful and here is some other reasons.


Lightning vs Stone/Debris Throwing

Having inferor abilities compared to Sith's.


Sith Sorcerer being the MOST OP class of em all and obviously only for Imp's.


And then we got Smuggler which is meh compared to IA.


The only one that interests me atm and that i got chars with is Troopers.
Got a lvl 32 Trooper alt atm but haven't played in a while because that serv there's way more Imp's than Republics.



Also support Jawa Republic! ''WOOTINI!''

Only thing the shold do is make world PvP (outside Ilum )more rewarding meaning that the fraction that is overpopulated will have harder time then the underdog.

WoW is a perfect example Alliance had at the most 80 vs 20% aliance horde in the start.

After awhile they implemented honor suddenly Alliance became a bad choice for PvP basicly forced alliance people to gank some places "Bulwark" for example to get honor.
While Horde got it easier basicly quick pick all you can eat buff'e
This resulted in that people that enjoy PvP rerolled need something like that for this aswell

Well worded OP.

I actually believe this will equal out over time. Personally I find the PvE and stories on the Republic side just a tang better than on the Imperial.

And that aside: The Republic is the side for heroes of the galaxies - we might be less in number, but we make up for it in virtue!

~~DukeP~~

As a player that has tested both Imperial and Republic characters to 50, I know a big part of the problem is with the characters themselves.

They made Jedi boring in this game. Plain and simple. They didn't have to but they did.

Most dialogue responses are something like,

"I don't understand"
"It's a pleasure to meet you"
"Jedi don't take orders from you!"
"I'm a boring piece of cardboard"

While Sith have choices that involve shocking or choking people. Even the Sith lightside choices are leagues more entertaining than anything a Jedi says in this game.

I know I sound paranoid but it's almost like Bioware just hates the Republic side. Smugglers are funny but it doesn't compensate for the rest of the Republic classes.

Personally , I like being the unpopular choice (hence why I rolled ally in WoW) and I like being the underdog so I don't mind that the Imps out number the Pubs, makes it more fun for me

I've noticed many of the same issues with republic as others are bringing up. It's a lot of little things combined that make the republic less fun to play. Things as seemingly innocuous as the color schemes and armor appearance, to big issues I've run into regarding gameplay, and player maturity. (I have general chat switched off on the majority of my republic characters.)

And even things like class stories - consular and knight are very impersonal and generic compared to warrior and inquisitor. They aren't bad, by any stretch, but I feel like my sage could really be substituted with any other sage and still tell the same story, while my jugg or sorc's journey to Darth were very personal ones.

I love the game, and I hope the devs regard threads like these as constructive.

First of all, give the game some more time, many people are still searching for their favorite faction and change sides all the time.

Secondly, couldn't help but laugh at this signature:

Fail. That's all I can say.

I have to agree with this. I played rep the entire last month and have rerolled Empire 3 days ago because forming up a group for flashpoints on rep side is an epic quest in its own right.

Started a sith warrior. The 1st thing I noticed was the class story was...amazing compared to jedi. Seriously, the jedi story is Little Red Riding Hood and the sith warrior story is Game of Thrones. Huge difference.

Another thing is the gear design. The Republic seems to be stuck with the clothing and variations of clothing seen in the SW movies and are not allowed to go off-course, while the Empire gear design is where the dev team in charge of fashion just really unleashed the awesomeness.

Coruscant vs. Dromund Kaas.

Coruscant. Several areas. Kill bandits, move to next big sector and kill some more bandits. Oh, and kill some rogue robots and a handful of imperials in the last part.
I swear, I think most of Coruscant's population is made up of bandits. Extremely boring and extremely predictable.

Dromund Kaas. No quest is like the other, and no way you can predict where this or that is going. Intrigues, politics and backstabbing between the sith lords, all made parts of quests or group quests.

Overall, it is clear that the Empire side is the one the devs started working on, and the Republic is a victim of the deadline coming up, so pretty much everything was wrapped up fast.

I thought only evil wannabe kids would want to play Empire but I was wrong. I play a full light side sith warrior and I'm having way more fun on empire side.

I wouldn´t mind rerolling republic per se but I hate playing alone and the people I play with all want to play on Empire.
And people tend to not wanting to reroll
