SWTOR. Too much theme park?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Realm_versus_Realm

Either you are confused or trolling.

Ilum is faction based open world pvp, not RvR.

I don't know what to say, have you never been to the supposed RvR basin?


Mythic had the trademark on RvR and as Mythic became Bioware-Mythic and then eventually just Bioware EA (once the digestion process was finished) I think RvR is fine.

WoW never had RvR, because it never had the trademark, only DAoC and WAR did.

However just because you don't call something RvR doesn't mean it's not, just that it's not been called that offically becasue the term is trademarked.

Hope that helps.

Faction open world PvP is RvR

There are clearly confused trolls here, but it's not me.

I would like some more free roaming/exploration, night day cycle and a more free space combat. Other than that i like the game dont mind that its a theme park in general

I have been to ilum twice and I have never been on Warhammer Online before. According to wiki two opposite sides fight for resources. So in a way that is like EVE Online. In swtor we are not fighting for territory or territorial assets. Although that would be a majorly awesome on pvp servers.

So when the creators of the game call it "open world pvp" they are wrong and you are right.

Gotcha.

Fair enough, if you've never been there you wouldn't know about it.


RvR is RvR, it doesn't matter what you call it (well it does because only Mythic and whomever now has the trademark rights within EA now can offically called something RvR without being sued).

Keep your SWG. It was a crappy game. There were Korean games that I enjoyed more than that game and I hate Korean games. That game for me had absolutely no Star wars feeling.

hard to say what you mean by themepark is it that you have the must do progression and limited other freedom linear path personally i do like that when playing.

But then what i dont like with that is aswell that everything just gets handed to you these days basicly to the point that by just logging in gives you x amount of badges that after 1-3 months will have gotten you the adequate gear to be able to see almost every content this game have to offer.

Actually.. it is you. Open World PvP is not equal to RvR. RvR has been defined as:

"Realm versus Realm (RvR) is a type of Player versus Player gameplay in Massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPG) where the player base is divided over multiple preset realms that fight each other over game assets. This differs from normal Player versus Player combat in that Realm versus Realm usually depicts a game that is centralized around this combat, as opposed to a game where sporadic Player versus Player combat occurs. In this context, "realm" generally means a geographic territory or political affiliation."

Although Ilum was Open World PVP, it was never meant to be a fight over game assets, just an area to grind PVP points to get PVP gear. Therefore, Ilum was not RvR.
