Dogfatherxx Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I would agree but WoW has had a much longer time to improve on their game and see what works and doesn't work. Even though SWTOR has been in develpment and has been beta tested for years, BW probably couldn't have predicted all of the issues that people are complaining about post launch(not that I agree with all of them). I think that it is something that will improve over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maradigamer Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I prefer SWTOR pvp, actually. However, WoW is a more responsive game overall, and that does affect pvp. I'd still rather queue into Huttball than Warsong Gulch every day, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AstralFire Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 For the most part, I think tOR's PvP is much, much better designed. Emphasis on designed. The ability lag bug -has- to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oacan Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 ^^ Ive just watched level 50's get utterly destroyed in pvp in less than 5 seconds...so much for balanced and "skillful" pvp. makes sense as to how i ended up unsubbing after two days of playing...but i dont plan on going to wow either cos the pvp there is pretty sh@! as well due to the class imbalances and I for one will not pay for swtor's incomplete game cos this game has a shizz load of bugs and the ability delays just wreck pvp (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/585/swtorabilitydelay.png/) - ability delay example f you dont know what everyone is talking about concerning ability delays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crowingzero Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 People seem to forget that WoW cross-server PvP wasn't there at the start, it was a feature they added later. As someone who was there the day WSG, AB, and AV launched, when you had to actually travel TO the battleground to queue, I tend to agree with the OP. As frustrating as WoW PvP was at the start, I don't remember it being THIS frustrating, or faction imbalanced. Of course, I was playing a rogue back then so that's something to consider I do hope it gets better in SWTOR. But I wish people would stop comparing SWTOR launch with WoW launch, because Bioware has had 7 years to learn from Blizzard's mistakes. (I felt the same way at WoW launch with people comparing it to EQ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradoxe Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) Hmmm let me ask myself this question: Am I playing swtor OR wow at this moment? Uh yea I think I am playing SWTOR, most evidently because I am browsing swtor forum and not wow forum. Which bring myself to this conclusion, I definatly prefer SWTOR pvp over WOW pvp because I'm actually playing SWTOR and not WOW. Why would I prefer something I don't play over something I play? Doh, that was an hard answer. Edited January 12, 2012 by Paradoxe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GW2 pvp is probably going to put all other MMO pvp to shame when that game finally releases. But it's not out yet, so I'm enjoying SWTOR pvp for what it is, and most of the time, it's fun. I'm not really an optimist, but sometimes you just gotta appreciate what you have in front of you instead of what's down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheem Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I quit WoW a little over 2 years ago so I dunno how much has changed since then, but going by how it was when I was playing I'd have to disagree with the OP (except for that really annoying ability lag that I often get in Warzones). The wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am style of PvP that existed in Arena was pretty annoying; stupid "Wizard Cleave" teams dropping our Shaman healer in a single non-trinketed CC on me wasn't particularly fun. So far I've seen some super-fast kills (including on level 50's) in this game too, but I think that's at least partially due to consumables and Warzone buffs. With a few changes there and a couple class/spec tweaks, I think overall PvP balance here might be better than it was when I was playing WoW (though I *really* hate playing a non-pull/non-knockback class on Huttball, gets rather annoying when it happens 400 times per game and I can't at least return the favor).

As for TOR, their PvP has a lot of potential. Aside from the lame stim-relic-adrenal-warzone buff stacking ala ToEP-ZHC-AP-PoM-Pyro, I want to see the ability delay fixed as soon as possible. It makes playing melee an act of frustration right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabbadaphat Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I have to agree, I really dont like wow but the pvp was way better, just for the fun factor anyway, at least you could choose the battlegrounds you liked, for me that was Alterac valley, Arathi basin, battle for gilneas and my favourite Ilse of conquest, why the hell cant we have big 40 vs 40 outdoor battles with enemy npc bosses, siege vehicles & tanks etc in swtor? Even rift has fun innovative pvp these days, the only swtor warzone i find acceptable is Alderaan, & even thats compromised by not having level brackets & getting constanly stomped on by premades when joining the queue solo.
