Wrong. Just wrapped up. Wow... it was great. Went in, took care of PvE business solo. The areas were clearly defined and everything was on the up and up. Imps who attacked my mobs or tried to heal my mobs did not flag me. AoE was not a problem.

So... to those who are reading this, try it. You be the judge. This PvP vs. PvE crap is nonsense. The event is catering to both sides very successfully.

As for the griefing inside the PvP area? Well, there is no such thing. You are flagged so be prepared. Went in as a group and had a blast running the PvP quests, and I'm not a PvP player nor do I own any PvP gear. One thing to note, peeps on my server waited their turn at the Pylons, there wasn't a huge free for all for the node, with a few rare exceptions.

healing (you or your companion) a flagged player.
having a teammate gt flagged can sometime trigger this too.

so can you PVE during the gree event...yes if careful and you limit your playstyle.
AHHH, so you have to limit your play style....

Kind l like you do on ops or FP's when you don't want to break CC.
OR
When you are soloing with selective pulls and CC. Can't AOE blast everything then either.
OR
When you have limit your DPS at the start of a fight cause you need to give the tank a few secs to get build aggro
OR
When any given fight has you doing something that you might not normally do.
OR
any other instance in the game when you don't get to do exactly what you want and jsut blast everything in sight with no strategy at all.

Get off it. If you don't want to get PVP flagged it's a rather simple way to not do it. It's the same things you have been doing for the past number of months.

This is nothing new. If you don't want to get flagged, avoid flagged people and avoid AOE'ing (unless you think no one is around and take the risk - I know I did) and you will still be able to complete the entire event, get your rep and be on your way.

Yup.

All clear! Call back the bombers.

PvE is alive and well on Illum if you choose to participate in the event. But... venture to far into contested lands and you will find the enemy.

I really had a great time this morning with this. And... I'm assuming they will be dropping in more features through out the week?

Since PVP in this game is becoming more and more all vs all, why exactly care about factions anymore? It just begins to feel silly.

I swear this game has the biggest bunch of crybabies of any MMO. No, actually, MMO fans are just usually that way because each person thinks the way they want the game is THE way to play the game.

So there is an open PvP area with what? Two quests in it? Who gives a bantha? Really?

We get a whole new event with a revamped area and all people do is whine and moan. Just quit already. Seriously. Just quit. And no, that isn't why we lost 2 million players. We lost 2 mill because EA relased the game too early. It wasn't from people like me asking people who are unhappy to quit.

Just quit already if you don't like the game.

I really hope you're not being serious. We pvpers have gotten TWO warzones added since launch.

You PVEers have gotten WAY more updates/new content than we have.

If you dont like pvp / are really bad at pvp, great. But don't complain when a part of the game that you're personally not good at/interested in gets updated.

My thoughts exactly. If this runs like past events, we will get a little more content as the time goes by. A new objective added per day type of thing. And of course... we know at some point we need to get in that Gree ship. The vendor has a pass to allow you to do so after certain rep gains.

Right, he's the only operation type encounter in this event. It will be interesting indeed but everyone in the ops group will need the rep level to get in there so I know I need to get to farming.
