so 'working' pvp, is, well.. relative.

if you want working pvp in an MMO setting... I suggest planetside 2. unlike any MMORPG's pvp it's highly competetive.


(I am not arguing which is more fun, as I prefer RPGs over FPSs but that isn't my point here :P)

I do consider the PVP in TOR 'working'. whether or not a class is OP or 'broken' or if you like the changes to resolve or if you're a fan of the gear progression or annoyed by bugs and glitches that make it easy to exploit... it a different story.
Thats your opinion, some servers are organized more than others. Thats why the match making system sorts and pits everyone against the proper server each week (another brilliant system). I've seen 10 person guild groups that dramatically impact the landscape of the wvwvw zone they are fighting in. The puggers are the ones doing the zerging.

Fact of that matter is.. it does work. How is Ilum doing these days?

Zero interest in your FPS MMO. Thanks.

Warzones work.. but yeah.. all that other stuff you mention matters to your average pvp player. Thats why they all left.

MMOFPS combat = real skill

MMORPG combat = gear

I must say besides Planetside 2 also the Firefall beta is amazing. Everything about it. Amazing graphics (Unreal 3), everything moves, everything is interactive, they´ve got a huge world with day/night change. Just beautiful.
They even have a very efficient way of storytelling, great voiceacting, and they haven´t even started to get into the main phase of the PvE quests and dynamic events. Very promising.

Not everyone´s cup of tea I guess but anyway...

Even tho we bled subs like a jason voorhees victim after launch, and we have no where near WoW's numbers..... aren't we still like the 2nd most populated MMO out there as of this time?

I think the doom and gloom that some sites talk about may in fact be doing our game some good. It helps keep away some of the trollish players.

Many players care about the reputation because, as they are giving their own money to the company, they may want the game to improve.

I guess the difference in thinking is that I don't consider an MMO subscription to be an investment (for anything longer than my subscription billing period). I consider it a ticket to play now, do something fun online with friends, and forget about the BS is the big outside world.

Other players probably do consider their time-played/money/emotions/whatever invested in future game changes or access. It's just a different POV.

Sounds like something an MMO hipster would care about

It was an interesting article for sure. It's a shame that Bioware just does'nt get the simple point, that most people care about the stories, and want more of that. Any of the fixes or inducements they've put out so far, is like trying to put a bandage on a gauged submarine.

I want story, I don't care about anything else. What I wouldn't pay/give to hear my companions speak some fresh new dialogues with me...

While I am concerned about how any returning 50's will view the free to play version, overall I can't say that the switch really embraces the solo-player aspect any more than the game already does. People don't typically do operations competitively unless they're dedicated players. Operations are the only group content that they're completely cut off from without being subscribed or paying extra.

It's also ironic to me that they're saying going f2p marks the end of swtor's signification in one breath and then praising gw2 in another. Their models are different but their goals are ultimately the same.

Only WoW can kill WoW and it's happening really quickly now.
