At this point, is it even possible for republic to come back?

Pubs do okay on our server. The problem we (Imps) have is that we are guaranteed armaments, and they have to kill to finish the daily. So they are more tight knit than us and have a bunch of premades that roll. We have a ton of players who quit on sight if its Voidstar or CW just because Pubs usually have at least 4 bm's in each game and roll. So then the lesser pubs get carried.

I'd love to go pub but I have a ton invested in my Imp character. Its not battlemaster but still walking away from a character with 50 valor to reroll isn't fun.

There is zero incentive to go republic and every incentive to go imperial.

The few who do reroll as republic will be less then the people who have already and continue to reroll as imperial.

Nothing will change until there is an actual reason to go republic and sorry guys a wookie isnt going to fix this.

I think the bias will persist, but will diminish over time.

I've done a bit of lower bracket pvp as Republic on two high pop servers now and I noticed republic players tended to be both lower level and less experienced as a whole than the Empire players they faced.

Or Hib on DAOC. Welcome to MMOs with faction based pvp.

Republic getting destroyed? Just do what most of the Republic guilds on my server do:


Exploit in order to get more than eight players into the game at the same time.



Yeah. Really makes me want to show pity now, huh?

Playing republic on Nadds sarcophagus. Not that bad.

Imps are just as bad as Reps. Main issue is that Republic has much lower talent pool and therefore a lot less PvPers which are experienced and/or good.
Thanks to Illum also less geared so it is double in Imps favour without them being any better for real.

The ones who spend all day whining that they are the underdogs won't be able to make a comeback.

They are too busy complaining instead of actually gearing up or practicing to improve their own skill.

Uhm, there is massive incentives to roll Rep, it freaking sucks being Imp on a badly balanced server. Bioware don't need to do anything it will fix it self over time.

Your just the normal crybaby that want more free stuff and you want free stuff that might end up being dangerous to the games health, because why would anyone roll Imp if you get free stuff as Rep?

Queue at release, server faction imbalance, it's all EXPECTED, no dev is surprised about it and they have no reason to "fix" it because it's not broken. These things fixes it self over time unless the dev goes brain dead and give one side free stuff.
