Make Ilum the hub for PvP + Global Chat Channels

/sign

Just need some pvp terminal/vendors and I'd call it home

Also add a portal straight from the fleet to the Ilum PvP area.

At the _very least_ this idea is an excellent start to making OwPvP viable and interesting.

Please get back to us on this!

they have all of this stuff on makeb (orbital station + planet side terminals). iunno. you'd think they'd do it with some place where you could actually play while you wait for pops.

very low on my list of fixes. back fill is at the very top. I feel absolutely abused by that mechanic every day.

I approve this message

I have to say Ilum wouldn't have been like at launch if they used the entire planet instead of 3/4ths for dailies.

Backfilling is a symptom of the quality of players in this game. First sign of a loss? ABANDON SHIP!

I just did an AHG where the imps have TWENTY total players by the end.

If players did not quit so often, there would not be so much backfilling, and it wouldnt be such a problem.

can't change the population. you CAN change how you deal with empty WZ slots. for example, when was the last time a grp queue'd player got sucked into an in-progress WZ? the system seems to fill slots one at a time.

I was sucked into a rnd 2 vstar. how is that still possible? didn't they fix that? rnd 2 is supposed to be too late, isn't it?

I forget what the new cut-offs were, but I vaguely remember reading posts that they were not working properly.

And the same people who are the first to abandon a WZ are likely to be the ones that would refuse backfilling. So as soon as someone leaves a WZ, the chances of them playing man down for the remainder of the WZ increase significantly. Like you said, you cant change the population.

I digress tho, this thread is about having global PvP chat channels, and adding fleet amenities to the Ilum faction bases. Would be a great change to liven up Ilum a bit, and PvP chat channels would be a huge benefit to the creation of spontaneous owPvP breaking out.
