I support meaningful pvp in SWTOR. The WoW bg model was terrible and got real boring real fast: a sham that didnt try to hide a terrible equipment grind.

My only question to the op is how do I join the pvp society online? Is it akin to freemasons?

Farming in DF for 1 week, then dying once, and loosing the whole weeks worth of exp over 40 :P

Still, that didnt stop you from enjoying the game, which kinda says alot.

This! turn Ilum into a frontier, add in outposts that guilds can control and upgrade. In the future maybe possibly add 2 other warzone planets one Republic, one Imperial that we fight for control of outposts on and control of them gives faction wide bonuses.

If you give people something beneficial to fight for, they will do it. Even with some of the faction imbalance problems i think it will still work, i played Midgard in DAOC and we were ALWAYS the least populated to Hibs and Albs, yet we still kicked alot of ***!

10000000000000000x this!!!!!! Please give us keeps/bases/towers to fight over with choke points. Give us a relic type system that provides a realm bonus of some type, it doesn't even have to be something big. A 5-10% bonus to xp, credits, valor, or damage for controlling the other sides relic and it would be something both sides would fight for all the time. Some type of attrition system to get to it would work. Put 4 keeps in a zone, with each side owning 2. You have to take keep A to take keep B, to have a shot at the relic and it has to be carried back on foot to your sides relic base. Would LOVE this system. You could even turn Ilum into this, would just need to be tweaked a bit.


Also would love to see a realm rank style system implemented as well.

Do you really think SWTOR's PvP designers played Daoc?

It's sad to say it, but the days of true MMO's are dead, it's all about "MMO-lite" now....
Give em shallow empty hand holding an shiny grabbing quota's for the day, an they will run round like scrabbling children after lollies on floor....

In saying that, at least GW2 is "trying" to bring back the good old days, with an MMO that is centered around pvp an diversity, as they used to be.
GW2 won't be a hardcore game by any stretch.

considering they have half of Mythic working for them, they damn sure should have. if not then fire the entire current staff and go find the old DAOC staff.

Fact 1: WOW PvP Sucked from day 1 till now.... it was a mass grind fight with no organisation, you qued with random crap players and it featured the same battlegrounds over and over again... IT WASNT FUN IT WASNT CHALLENGING, yet you are copying this?!? The worst parts of WoW is what you decided to copy?. You want to catch peoples eyes? then create something new!? don't copy what was horrible from another game?


Fact 2: DAoC was freaking great and has been deemed by the pvp society online as the best pvp game of ALL Times yet you dont cooporate with your OWN collegaues at Mythic who has infinitely more experience creating MMORPG games? That's silly learn from their mistakes by and learn from the things they created that was awesome.....pvp objective based war areas such as the frontiers, and create PERMANENT battlegrounds for the level brackets to enjoy.


The Warning: DO NOT Get complacent by thinking we're playing this game because it has more to offer than WoW because quite frankly it's the same and WoW is more populated people might aswell return under these circumstances, so dont rest your feet till you're done walking, you have the game you have the technology you have the brains to figure out what the eliteists are saying may hold some truths to it , now ACT accordingly and fix it please =)
this. *********** hell this and only this. except for one part OF >>>>>> NF
