World PvP sucks and the customers have spoken

The only world PvP I have seen so far is being ganked by 2-3 people + a companion. Companions ruin world PvP themselves.

Everyone has a companion so that isn't a huge deal. Although I guess that too is subjective.

Grats on finding something going on in the world. I've seen nothing. The world is a ghost town.

I agree with an earlier poster. Open World PvP is supposed to be a mystery. Real world type combat is based with opposing lines and well guarded fronts. You shouldn't be able to run around and gank people all over the place.

If you haven't found anyone yet, you haven't gone looking for them. All you need to do on Tat is to get on your bike and drive North if your an Imp and South if your Republic. Simple as that...

I do agree there should be some designated zones on planets so that people know where to go for Open PvP and can do so at anytime without having to worry about lvl 50 Champion mobs owning them.

I've always run across Imperials on Hoth. **** got real.

Yet another 'OMG this game is not WOW with a Star Wars skin ***!!!" thread. These seem to be piling up.

When I got shot twice on Tatooine because I went like 20m next to my questpoint because I saw something like an outpost to find out I will be pretty much 3 shotted by guards. Much to my surprise I didn't even think about the possibility, that rebels would have their base in the same zone, a couple of hundred meters away on flat terrain.


But hey you little low level scrubs have it all figured out already. We w ill call it a wonder everytime you get ganked after turning in a quest on voss and you won't have a problem with your companion, because he won't participate in the fight that is coming your way, that is for sure.

Why do you guys need the PvP to come to you? Are you guys always that passive? If I feel like open pvp, then I am actively running towards their outpost, into their outpost and wreac havoc until I am pleased.

Did the OP mention another MMO? I didn't think so. OP had some comments on the open pvp aspect of the game. Others have pointed out that it is only a few days old outside the people who played up to 7 days before everyone else. AKA pre-order.

I don't really care one way or another because it wasn't billed as a pvp MMO say such as DaOC. My issue to tag with the OP's more or less is this. The maps are insanely huge and I really don't see anyone of my own side. That is it. Huge maps in a massibe multiplayer game and I don't see anyone? Even on the few planets I'm on...on a PvP server.

I think the OP is over the top with the word suck in the thread title but he or she has a few points. My observation is the game 0 to 50 is a single player game focused on quests. They are good quests. Class quests rock. But it isn't hard to feel it is a chat client with quests and pretty graphics because the people just are not there...

I'm on Tat now - we'll see if I find anyone or if they find me. I'm a betting man and I'll wager 50,000 credits I see no one (by that I mean other side/baddies) before I leave the planet.

Any takers?

I'd like to be able to collect Mercenary Commedations for World PVP kills. I killed about 20 Imperials within two hours on Alderaan yesterday and got nothing. World PVP does need its improvement, but it is not limited Ilum on PVP servers.

Um...

Did you even read the thread or just my comment?

My server has world pvp. I was camped by 30+ people when I was around 24 on Tatooine. I got my first world pvp kill today. I agree with the OP that there needs to be some sort of encouragement to do world pvp. It is pretty dead.
