I myself rerolled to The Fatman sever. See rep fleet have 290 An during prime I would bet each plant has at least 100+. If not close to

My guess player rolled to another sever or quit. Either way idc the Fatman is a full sever
There is no peace, there is anger There is no fear, there is power There is no death, there is immortality There is no weakness, there is the Dark Side

Lightsaber classes were always going to be the most popular but on the Republic side you'd have to say that Smugglers and Troopers are pretty popular as well (Han Solo factor and the Giant Assault Cannon of Doom)

On the Empire side Bounty Hunters are kind of popular thanks to Boba Fett but Operatives are very rare (what character were the based off again?

What a surprise that Operatives/Smugglers (especially heal specced ones) are extremely OP at the moment.

Republic just have a better balance of ranged DPS, healers is what I'm seeing. Empire have too many damned Sith.
I can definitely believe this. On my server at least 80%-90% of the Imps in each match are either glowstick wielders or powertechs. I see an operative maybe every other WZ and I've yet to see a sniper. Mercs are becoming increasingly rare as well but this was to be expected given how hard it can be to compete as a Merc/Commando in a pug.

The same happened on my server with Republic.

I rarely see the old PvP "veterans" anymore.

Many unknown faces with no clue and at least one guy with 0 Expertise and 12k HP.

sotrue it hurts but I also noticed less Imps on my server. Especially when one BIG Imp guild that was populating almost every WZ from break till dawn is nowhere to be seen now. I must say I stopped doing WZs for a while but when I restarted to Q I noticed big difference in quality (on both sides). Also, it is true that Imps have 90% of WZ population wearing lightsticks

on my server (biggest german pvp server) imp pugs are losing against republics all the time.

why? because the only republic players that queue anymore are the really pvp dedicated, fully geared ones. they mostly go with premades. you rarely see a republic player without half war-hero gear. no one levels republic anymore and needs to gear up his toon in warzones while on imp side we have constantly "scrubs with recruit gear" in our team. I pvp up to 4 hours every day and I face the same republic player over and over again. so yeah, this game is slowly dying .. and it has quite an impact on gameplay.

So because the Imps are now scrubs and the Reps, who persevered through most of the imbalance issues, are now well geared, the game is dying? If Imps can't play well, then they lose. It has no bearing on the game.

lean back and think about it again.

no new players on rep side, few new players on imp side = ?
? = another result of dwindling server population

nevermind, this game IS dying. it's a fact. if you can't see that I feel sorry for you.

It's Better to be a republic then an Imperial, Why? Well they always have a full 8man team. Huh? how? well, since they are never usually getting new fresh 50s as much as Imperial they have a higher ratio of queing with the same 8 people over and over.

Why is this a problem? Well they always have a higher chance of being Qued with Fully geared out BM/War Hero Players, and a full set of 8 Players usually from the same guild So they will have more communication then the other team.. And this is all because of the lack of newer players on the republic faction.

So Our Imperial newer players even though it brings more people to our server is making PvP worse. This is why they need to fix this and do so fast.

Sorcs are no longer OP - Imps win less often. QED
