Are you waiting for that next MMO that will actually pay attention to PvP and co.?

The Repopulation

Terrible name, I know, but it's seems to have a lot in common with SWG.

I really just want SWTOR to be... better (open world pvp, player houses/cities, random missions, class balance etc) but that doesn't seem likely and so I look to new horizons.

I agree with you about the name, and my impression of it is also that it looks very much like SWG Pre-NGE. I also love SWTOR though so I don't plan on leaving SWTOR for The Repopulation.

Archeage.

Assuming they get the payment model well so that it doesn't **** up pvp, it has open world pvp, sieges and ****. TTK may be a bit too high, we'll see. It is what I expected we would have gotten on Ilum. I still remember their promise and how they were "working on something". Ha!

I am interested in WIldstar. That's about it.

ESO and EQN...I am tired of fantasy-based MMOs with emphasis on swords, shields and your standard schools of magic (fire, ice, lightning, etc).

We need more space or steam-punk MMOs. Or heck even modern/superhero MMOs that don't suck.

Until then, I will still play SWTOR.

(a) I doubt it.
(b) Spoken for me: not really.

Yes. Oh, nice fantasy thingy... could be interesting for a while.

No.

No.

I'm waiting for "Shroud of the Avatar" and "Star Citizen" but not especially due to any kind of PvP.

Vanilla Ilum was... bad.
If you feel shafted... well... I enjoy myself... and do not feel shafted at all.

Wildstar. But if the PVP in that one doesn't satisfy me, I'll try to shelve MMO's entirely. They all seem to be lacking "something".

In Swtor it's lack of team-balance (faceroll or be facerolled) and a sense that it's more about using my rotation, than actual skill and positioning.

Yes, and Destiny...

I think that's the most apt description of SWTOR's failings particularly the faceroll or be facerolled that seems to be the paradigm of dysfunctional pvp. The scary part is I honestly don't know why it is that way.

Well, ASSUMING that the matchmaker in ranked solo is putting people of roughly equal rank on the same teams, that would explain that disparity there. High ranked players get on one team, low ranked on another.

Which ofc is bad design. Equalize the TEAMS, not the players.

There is also "some kind of" of matchmaking in unranked (It tries to pit groups vs groups), but I honestly don't know what might be wrong with that one. Probably the same issue if I should guess.

I hope Wildstar pulls it off in a better fashion. Also, OWPVP with objectives would be nice.

Wildstar might be better than swtor but i am sick of trinity-focused games and the gfx style looks horrible (then again I said the same thing about Wow's gfx style and still played it for years). I want to like ESO but being built for a console may hurt/cripple the interface options - I will definitely check it out though. I will also check out EQN for the world-building options if nothing else but it's too soon with too little info to get excited about it.
