I suppose on your version of the Empire Strikes Back Darth vader lands on Hoth with a Bunch of flowers for Princess leia?

Well in my version he lands on Hoth, attacks a republic base and then camps it causing the republic players to have to leave the area. So what Guild Exile did was SW lore, maybe you are playing the wrong game.

Yes you are right camping is world PvP, but it's the only world PvP that you can have in TOR. Such a pity..

+1 Because it is true. Camping is exactly what the Empire does.

Don't blame the empire for the lag of more starting bases and lag of objectives with rewards all around the map! If you are more you will do the same! Blame BioWare!

putting it bluntly...

you know open world pvp is failing when the objective is to kill lowbies to disrupt them hitting the same rank as you.

I may have missed it, but what was the FPS/lag like at hoth spaceport?

This is the the first time i havnt rolled on a PvP server as i wanted to RP this game but in general even on PvP servers, spawn camping and ganking is a quick way of gaining a bad rep, and considered very poor behaviour. But then again i never played wow, the games that i stick with longer or sandbox, so SWG,Ultima EvE, Darkfall and minecraft (lol) are my gaming background.

They are brutal in game but it seems to me the communities and expectations are different in themeparks so i wont criticise, i just think i am a different style of gamer than you see around here.

TBH when you have a game that allows one faction to invade the other factions base and essentially shut it down I would say that is a sign of an amazing PvP game.

This message to you idiots out there saying this game has no openworld pvp....i call BS. Man up...get a couple of ops together and go take an opposite factions spaceport. This is called denial of resource.

We had hours of fun. The sith tried to shake us from the planet, but we took them all out.

I fear leaving the fleet, less I get caught in a load screen tornado

I already am on a PvE server, you ing genius. And exactly for this reason; so I don't have to put up with the circle jerk of self-congratulatory griefers that think real pvp is farming lowbie characters.

And before I hear your cut&paste "If you're on a PvE server, then don't worry about it lol" griefer response, attacking my server type is a fallacious strawman argument that completely dodges addressing the fact that this is not real world pvp.
