PvP Community's Plans for Server Transfers

+1 totally understand. I hope that we can all move forward and really create a better PVP atmosphere on this server.

It can be done.

It will be people like us, who get on here and hash the **** out. Complain and call each other out. In the end.. the King and Pawns all go back into the same box, but we are all part of the same community.

The time has long passed for us to bury the hatchets of our indiscretions.

+1....

Didn't mean to offend anyone with the Kings and Pawns comment. Im an old school chess nerd and its a figure of speech meant to illustrate good bad or indifferent we all belong..

I think that's just part of the difference between being able to look someone in the eye after competing publicly and in person, versus having to deal with keyboard warriors who are safely insulated in anonymity on the internetz. They aren't worth the trouble IMO. I like the perspective you bring to this discussion, BTW. I wish there were more like you.

No offense at all, I knew what you meant, I used play chess too. My college house had a chess set that had shot glasses for all the pieces...talk about levelling the playing field

Let's take a stroll down memory lane. Once upon a time in a magical place there was a server called Sanctum of the Exalted. I was in a guild called Hand of the Republic. Along with Grimmlok, Tak and Dizeren. We queued with a lot of different people on the Republic side and met a lot of good PvPers. This is where we met Jevi and Bay (Helalin at the time). Conflicted Loyalties was created to have a place for Imperial alts to PvP and try to help out the other side when they were often getting wrecked. This is where we were in the same guild. Most of us were spread around throughout other guilds on the Republic side.

As for this:
Eventually what happened was we were doing nothing but queuing for PvP and Jevi decided to create Squad Six on the Republic side. The name came from Jevi pushing the six button on his keyboard, which was smash. It had nothing to do with Navy Seals, despite popular belief. One by one people left whatever guild they were in and joined it. We were only playing together anymore anyways and it was a no brainer decision.

We switched the name to Game Genie one day just because of sheer boredom and people always saying we are hacking and we grew tired of having to defend ourselves. No member of GG has ever hacked, this is fact. There used to be a guild named Your Companion. This guild hated us with a passion and one of their members reported our guild name and during a huttball match the guild was renamed by a GM to "Jevi Guild". Squad Six came back.

Once we transferred to the Ebon Hawk we decided to rename again to Game Genie and see if it will stick, it did. We met a lot of good people on this server. The first people we met were The Code. We quickly became friends with Shamaya, Kincaid and a few others. When ranked came out this was true that we didn't really have enough to queue a full team at times. So we asked friends to queue with us. This wasn't because we thought some of our members weren't good enough or anything like that. This was a timing issue and for me i could only do ranked games Saturday through Mondays because of my work schedule. Which i mainly only did during Monday nights.

Once we first started doing ranked games, the first guild we came across was Broken Chains. They were basically our equals. Those matches were fond memories and we had a lot of amazing matches. We quickly became friends as we had a lot of respect for each other.

Things happen in MMOs and players leave. There isn't a contract like in sports where you are playing there until it expires. Players on both sides of the ball left, myself included when Guild Wars 2 came out. Some players came back (myself), but a lot of players either left for that game or Diablo 3. This happens. When i came back The Code, Game Genie, Resistance and Broken Chains had successively merged their remaining members (except for a select few that decided not to.) Hey all of my friends are in one guild and there is new people, it was an exciting time and here we are at a new exciting time with server transfers.

As of late Guerrilla and Game Genie have continued to lose members to other games and RL. So we made it an open policy for our guilds to share each others members on either side.

We have not made a final decision on where we are transferring and who we are transferring, but know this at least for the time being: Game Genie and Guerrilla aren't going anywhere and these threads just make us a little bit stronger.

If the *********** scrub-*** morons queueing today are in any way representative of what server PVP will be like once Gamepirella takes off, I'll be on the next train to "anywhere but here".

There have been some more-or-less legit complaints about them in this thread, but it is becoming increasingly clear that there is NOT a great number of other talented PVPers with any real competitive spirit. At least not enough to make PVP fun.

Even worse, there is a shocking proportion of utterly clueless *******s who probably can't even walk and chew bubblegum, much less make any serious effort to win a WZ.

It is not fun to watch people repeatedly ignore objectives to deathmatch. It is not fun watching people FAIL at that. It is not fun to be the only player on the team with any appreciation whatsoever of what tactics win warzones, and make any effort at executing them.

There is nothing less fun than losing, and the folks in Gamepirella are pretty much the only ones to openly admit that and behave accordingly.

I read this and it is something they really need to address. Getting, Succeeding, and keeping an 8 player team is pretty impossible in today's ultra casual MMO mentality. Gone are the days of the hardcore players, and we need something to make it easier to keep PVP alive. I would love to see arena's and possible 1v1 deathmatches set in an arena environment. While most games emphasize gear as rewards or gear currency. I would like to see possible credit/cash based games. How many more people would pvp if they could make significant credits doing it, as opposed to earning rewards for gear that are only good for pvp?

Seriously Bioware, start offering 500k credit prizes or escalate them based upon a player's rating. You know giving them 3:1 odds or something if you are the underdog.

This may be a difference in experiences then. I played a smuggler and warrior up to 50 and constantly qued solo with both. I'll admit to plenty of dislike for Squad Six, but for myself, the w/l ratio was about 35/65 pregear, then it jumped to about 50/50, and I had fun. "Trial by fire?" Yup. I'll freely admit to losing my way into my gear. But I had fun, and to me that was what counted. I don't have as much fun with the current group. I preferred pre-50, and would often stop playing a toon all together once capped. It's better with the new bolster, but I want a community, not elite stomping pugs.

I love some of the chest puffing in this thread, especially from the Gorillas. You have some good players and a couple great ones. But the rest are FOTM spec type players (Pyro PTs, Derpsmashers, CC/Heal hybrid) whatever happens to be king of the hill at the moment. There are some great players on this server like Arash, Amber, and Dashto to name a few, who are able to bring it no matter what (even in PUGs). But you damn dirty apes...well, it's power in premades or no dice.

Truth is, there are no special snowflakes among you. Get over yourselves.
