Open World PvP is ALIVE!!!!!!

It's funny coz this is what I did With my gulden last night. XD we camped the spaceport, guarded the hangers so no one could escape, and AOEd everything to reveal the players in stealth. Killed about 40 players. We also found a way to cheat and killed one of their guardian turrets with suffering no deaths. This was on alderaan. It was really a night to remember.

Thumbs to the OP. This reminds be back in the days of wow ...

... when I organised a a 120 (40x3) man raids + at least 80 stragglers by the 3 top vanilla wow guilds on our server as we took on iron forge. We were all top PvE gear at the time.

Unfortunately due to server load, it crashed the server. We managed to log back in 15 minutes with every dead. Vent was pretty funny.

Anyways, we died (by speculation) to the 3 standard mobs inside the front door due running on the spot.

Too many jealous ppl in the forums wishing they did it first. Good work guys.

What you expect ? You just saw 22 guys from your faction wasting time on some not even important planet doing nothing while you are owned on Ilum. So I think you deserve it :P

This!!!!

BTW to the posters that are sayin "blah blah go to ilum its better pvp" most of our guild has full BM because we have done the "super fun ilum grindfest" to death. We wanted something different...therefore we decided to take hostile territory away from them and actually make an impact against the enemy.

Mission Accomplished.

Calling people who refuse to play something that is broken - dogs- might be a tad over the top, I know you want to get your opinion through, but stay on the ground.

It had nothing to do with getting a small reward, it has something to do with wasting ones time. Sure I could go fight you guys at the space port, or I could just play WZ and Ilum. There i get progression. On Alderaan, I get to wait for backup and get killed instantly while I zone in, where is the fun in that?

World PvP has been broken from the start. You gain obsolutely nothing from it, but people comming right back at you, and loosing nothing by dying, so it becomes an annoyance. I have actually never seen a game so broken when it comes to open world pvp. You instantly respawn, you lose nothing, and you can keep annoying people who beat you. On top of that the areas is divided on each planet so you will NEVER meet an opposite faction you if you level normally.

I tried to persue world Pvp while I was leveling up my first character, and what I found was that all the mobs that were KoS to them, was freen to me. So actually it looks like BW likes the idea of ganking people unfairly. You can actually go and annoy the livign shít out of people on the planets without ANY risk of being attacked by random mobs, but the people you attack will.

My Point being. World PvP is horribly broken, and dont blame people for not wanting to support or play it. If you had fun zone ganking a bunch of lower levels who zoned in, more power to you. But thats it.

it my not disrupt my or my guildies lvl 50 routine, but when the sith pull something like this we respond, because its fun.

No, you are not getting it. All the things you listed is just your subjective views.. and it shows that your not getting it.

My guess are that you are fairly young, and havent experienced real open world pvp in the era before wow. (and early wow did also have some great open world pvp in SS/TM)
Maybe they didnt get their pixel reward for being a good dog and doing what BW wanted you to do, but that is not the point. Its about them having fun!. Don't you get it?

I am a really fan of sandbox games, where the main interaction is between players, not between player and devs like in themepark mmos and swtor. What they did, was to choose to create a event of their own. On their own terms. And the feeling when you do something like that is so much better than being a good dog and drooling for the next pixel reward from the developers.

They didn't just hang around there, doing nothing for some hours. They created their own player made event. High level siths did try to stop them. They all had some great PvP. And FUN! Do you remember what that is?

You are apparently so brainwashed, that you claim that they didnt do anything to disrupt the level 50 grinding routine, like that was a goal in itself. That they didnt disrupt your dog vs owner reward for doing pointless tasks is you loss. Not theirs. I would gladly go to a low level planet and fight republics all day instead of continue the pointless, mindless grinding routine. And a lot of sith did.

But, by all means, don't let any real fun ruin disrupt you gear grinding. Be a good dog. Here! Have a pixel!

its like that most of the time on many servers whether or not anybodys raiding a planet.

i deserve what? he isnt even on my server as far as i know.


besides, during prime time having 22 extra guys on ilum would just mean the reps would be out numbered by 3 to 1 instead of 4 to 1.

Lol all these people saying you dont get nothing from world pvp is why noone does it. The things you gain from not going to ilum or wz are

1: you gain fun
2: you annoy sith
3: you take an entire sith base
4: you deny service/missions/vendors to sith
5: sith go and cry to their fleet about getting zerged on hoth
6: multiple sith respond
7: both sides have fun killing each other
8: you dont get super bored and unsub because you got tired of doing the same 3 bland wzs over and over again
9: you dont get super bored and unsub because you got tired of going to ilum and spamming your aoe at the enemy
10: you dont QQ and make a thread on the ToR forums saying you are quitting because you got bored in numbers 8 and 9.

BW has even said we have to make our own pvp content. This is exactly what we did tonight.

I personally don't need a reward to enjoy PvP in any way, and world PvP is by far my favorite thing to do in a mmo, nothing else comes close.

But yea, had 1, fun world PvP experienceas well, my guild wrecked a rep guild so nasty out in belsavis for a bit, till they left. Noone else came.

IMO though, world PvP, and just PvP in general in this game is terrible and needs a massive overhaul.
