Consolidated list of topics that BioWare should respond to.

Exactly.

Agreed, I will add those to the OP. Both threads have been ignored for a month(Or more).

We understand that EricMusco will get flamed no matter what he does. Ignoring the problems(Or appearing to be ignoring the problems) is not the answer.

Pretty much true for the players that are hardcore (or solely) PvP.

Thing is... if this game was designed as a PvP game.. they would have some ground to stand on. But it's not. PvP is badly implemented and badly deployed in this PvE game. Always has been. And an infinite number of gold responses to special interest threads is not going to change this in any way either.

This is in fact true for most PvE MMOs to be honest (not all but most). Yet avid PvPers keep insisting on jamming a square peg into a round hole, and attacking anyone that has the logic and sense to point out that the hole is round.

Since you are prosecuting a Pro-PvP centric bias.. of course you disagree. You will never agree. You will argue in a manner that is divisive to the wider community of players (which are majority PvE, NOT PvP) because PvPers are vocal, often acidic about it, and like to PvP about their PvP experience.

This game has, since beta, marginalized PvP play. It will never formally abandon it as the game wants to appeal to a broad base of players at a broadly casual level (not hardcore at anything)... but people with high expectations of PvP are going to be perpetually disappointed by this game and are going to be rash and angry about it.. and vocal and demanding.. and divisive and pejorative to anyone who disagrees with them. The fact is PvE and PvP rarely coexist well in MMOs from a mechanics, balance, and content standpoint. There are a few exceptions in the genre.. but SWTOR is not one of them. Suck it up.. or find something better suited to your needs (this advice applies to everything about MMOs, not just PvP).

Agreed with this entire bolded paragraph.

Bump..........

Thank you for your participation in this thread.

Hopefully we can get responses to some of the issues during the week.

I support the OP in his contention.




This individual lost credibility in his first five words....I think that's a sort of record? ;p

This game was billed, from the beginning as both, no? I've yet to see any official report, information stating that this is a pve game with PvP added as a secondary implementation. If that is so, can you point me in the direction of said statement? I'd be interested in seeing that as it would explode a belief about this game that I've held true, even as a solid PVE Raider, and seldom a PvPer.

This individual you speak of never has had any credibility to begin with.

I notice a lot of the elite defenders of EAware and SWTOR tend to lean on the PvE side, but this is their "argument to end all arguments" so they anything else a PvP'er says means nothing since, according to them, this is a PvE-centric game with PvP as a mini-game.

I, too, would like to see them give us this information.
