Open World PvP is ALIVE!!!!!!

If you took their spaceport....doesn't that mean IMPS could only pop in randomly, and along with your character popping in before the screen was already loaded....

...on a level 40 planet.

I dunno, I want to say congrats, but it just feels like abuse, much like the IMPS did to PUB on ILLUM.

Nice! I wish we could have gotten them before they got the datacron, but we just had to settle for killing them after they dropped down (which is why I had my friend hide until they came down... didn't want them quicktraveling out!).

Next time, try taking a level 50 objective where people can actually collect and give you a challenge before you come crow about your "awesum PvP skillz0rs".

You can call taking a sub-50 planet open world PvP and "denial of resource" all you want, but it's just griefing if there's no real way for the other side to fight back. It makes you and your guild look like a bunch of scrubs who can't actually win anything against a group of similar size and gearing.

You are either an exceptionally good troll, or a zerging failure of a player on the non-zerg side. I'm inclined to believe the latter before the former.

I commend the OP.

At least they were TRYING to open world pvp in a chit game that frowns on it.

Game is dying because people are bored to tears of Ilum and WZs, and IMO, SWTOR Devs are too ignorant and too hesitant to change things before their demise.

Aye, I get what you mean by the tight knit community. And to me, that was what the whole point of the alliance and adversary phases prior to game launch... but it's not worked out for my guild that way.

Upon getting assigned to a server - The Ravager, the guilds we were aligned with jumped ship because they got the pre-conceived idea based on theory crafting that our server would be over-run with Russians who are apparently well known for their PvPing and were worried also about the language barrier. So they jumped ship and went to another server before the game even begun. Their fears were unfounded as the server seems perfectly fine in respect to the community but it also meant we were now on our own.

So we've not been able to maintain any sort of community relations with other guilds at this early time in the game as we're busy building our own guild. But then saying that, not all my members are PvP-mad either. They just liked the guild set up which is casual and fun and took part in both pvp and pve on a casual and fun level and yes, that can include Open World PvP too.

On that casual and fun note, we're not the kind of guild to just make all our members gather into one area at a moments notice to tackle a huge crowds of PvPers who's idea of fun is to camp port-in areas. We're trying to encourage the guys into PvP, that kind of instance imo puts more people off it!

Whilst the 'Exiles' can boast about PvP being alive and whilst the supporters in this thread will argue that these people are in fact encouraging open world pvp, I wonder how many of those supporters will take it upon themselves to actually organise a team to counter the attackers. Are they willing to travel to Hoth on their own and fight mass hordes of pvpers? Or are they just happy to see others making an effort and willing to watch and hope others jump on before they too join the fray?

You fail on so many levels, i feel pity for you and your fellow teenage friends that still misses the point of the OP completely with your narrowminded thinking.

So you ganked various players with your ~16 ops while they're still zoning in.

Wupppeediidooo.

1337 skillz son, 1337 skillz.

no, he is 100% right. if you would have done what you proposed it would have resulted in a boring session of doing nothing.
no one would care about it.

though, if you raid a planet where people need to level then there is a chance that they cry and ask others for help, so they come to conquer it back. this is how open world pvp worked in wow and NO ONE comlained as it was the most fun wow ever had.

all came to fight back, no matter what level they had, even just to watch the battle.

edit: but sadly, there are so few pvp'ers on the servers that you won't see this happening anymore.

edit: i would love to see this in the chat "Guys, the imps have taken over balmorra and are ganking us. come over and help us".
