4/10

Add a well designed warzone that doesn't have major flaws in it and the rating would be 8/10 easily.

Rip off WSG from WoW please. Call it Star Wars Gulch. wtb SWG.

- Gameplay is kinda unresponsive and feels slow
- Netcode is *****, tons of sync errors, player's positions reset after ~2 seconds ..
- Only 3 Warzones and Hutball sucks
- Performance in Warzones is really bad
- Class balance could be worse but there are definitely issues..
- Open pvp not even worth mentioning

Its still fun to play with others.

3.5/10

The one advantage the empire has is Sorcerers. You are correct that there is an equal and powerful counterpoint in the Sage. However, Sorcs shoot lightning out of their fingers and Sages toss rocks, and as a result the Empire's vastly OP class greatly outnumbers the Republics. Most battlegrounds have 3-4 Sorcs and 1-2 Sages, and that right there is enough to keep one team stunlocked the whole game.

The inability to select a warzone is very frustrating.

How many of you non-level 50s are using the pvp consumables? How many of you are using stims? How many of you are using every buff to your advantage?

Oh, you didn't know about them...

/sarcasm

Yes, brackets will definitely help you then

3/10. only huttball is slightly amusing, the rest are utter crap. to put it briefly/meekly it doesnt seem like PvP was the focus of this game.

I'm fine with pvp, the one's complaining about class imbalance need to learn how to play properly instead of button mashing

I'am a lvl 42 rep and i give it a 2, its just 99% mini games.

I've seen very little world pvp (seems no point being on a pvp server)

If it wasnt starwars it would just be another 1 month mmo.

2/10

- Open World PvP (non-Illum) is on a scale somewhere between non-existent to worthless to attempt. You have no incentive to go after and kill opposing members of the enemy faction aside from the tiniest bit of Valor. No commendations, no tokens, nothing to make you go "I *want* to kill that player!" Instead it's "He's all the way over there...eh f*** it, not worth the effort." For a game called Star WARS there is a severe lack of WAR on the planets.

- Illum is such a broken, shameful joke that whoever designed it, and whoever allowed it to be implemented as it is, should be fired. This is not an understatement. It is offensive.

- Warzones are PvP that has been duck-taped on to this game. That's not to say they're not fun, I award the 2/10 points of my score because of two of the Warzones (1 for Alderaan and 1 for Void Star). Huttball is the least fun, least popular WZ and is played the most often. When I want to PvP (and I would hazard a guess that this is the same for most people) I want to kill the enemy. Micromanaging a ball is not killing the enemy. Killing the enemy is not the priority in Huttball, scoring is, and that means I'm more playing a sport than I am killing people. That is not PvP, that is a chore and something I did not sign up to do. And of the 2 WZs that *are* fun...how many times I can do them over and over before even they get boring and I go in search of a different game where PvP is supported and encouraged is a question I'll probably be answering shortly.

The saving grace of PvP in this game SHOULD have been Open World PvP. Bioware clearly invested tons and tons of work into making these huge, gorgeous planets...and entirely discourages people from PvPing on them. Almost never do quest zones overlap, there are no player-kill quests or rewards, nothing to encourage conflict on these planets...despite the fact that people come to PvP server in search of conflict.

2/10
