I like the PvP aspect of this game as well, I would definitely love to see some improvements, but that being said I don't expect the devs to be focusing on it heavily.
Okay, now check the animation videos and tell me what kind of fights do appear. One of them is a battle in a wood and the other one is the jedi temple assault. Both show the battle between republic and empire, nothing more.

Ofc this game is PvE focuses. No doubt about that. I was talking about what it could have been.
The reason why i'm so upset is that there has not been any atempt of having any kind of decent PvP system.

Remember ilum? just a desert field. No obstacles, silly objectives. No defendeable castles/ships/command posts, no strategic situated buildings or at least decoration. Nothing to offer rather than a silly quest for farming PvP gear.

As i said in my other post there were comments about Bioware taking ideas from warhammer online. Sure that game failed just the same way this one has done but stil many people were wondering if this could have at least the same kind of RvR system but with Star Wars skin.
That would have been AMAZING!!!

So yeah, sure, i'm dissapointed, but not for this game being PvE (witch i don't mind) but giving 0 chances to PvPers.

Doesn't mean you won't have a good role in the new warzone, in an enclosed space with an all out brawl a couple of tanks throwing area taunts every so often could take a hell of a lot of protection points keeping your team alive longer and potentially being a kingmaker

also don't forget that anyone you attack that dies in this game gets counted towards your overall kill count

So you do what you do best, guard and taunt. Guard your healers, taunt the enemy DPS, peel from your healer. Profit.

Your forgot the first step. Pray that the horrible matchmaking system actually put a healer in your team.

I'd rather them fix the core problems with PvP than throw more garbage warzones at us to try and make us shut up.

Wishful thinking. Even in the LFG PVE tool the game can't tell if you are heals or DPS.

Curses, foiled again. Seriously, is it that hard to tell the difference between specs? I'm actually curious, would it be hard to program a system that looks at your character and goes "Oh! You're specced 31 points into this tree!"?

They will add and remove several more sets of pvp gear before any other changes happen

Shouldn't be that hard no, but lots of healers are only spec'd part way in to their heal trees especially for PVP (I'm thinking sorc/sage especially). I mean they WOULD have spec'd all the way up to the AOE heal if that didn't mean they folded in 3 GCDs to virtually every class except another sage/sorc

Been so long since I played my Operative but fairly sure most of them would be spec'd all the way up the heal tree. No idea on mercs, do mercs actually still play the game?
"For 2012 we really want players to feel like they're getting the shaft. You're going to see so many things that should have been in the game at launch. It's going to be mediocre. We have 1.2 coming in the next week and then after that it's going to be fail all the way to F2P. It's...meh."
