Hardcore PvPers Roll Republic

+ healers in heavy armor is HUGE advantage.

The cookies I eat taste like sith.

playing the underdog faction is usually the most fun for a pvp'er regardless. not to mention it's easier to stand out from the crowd if notoriety is your thing.

We in FEAR recognize you already, djpenguin. We love it when you guys queue up, you actually give us some competition. Keep up the good work, man.

Hmm, still waiting for these "hardcore" Republic pvp players to show up.


Also as empire I haven't had a que longer than MAYBE 5min, which wasn't an issue because I had plenty of other things to do.


I've found many fellow "hardcore" pvpers on Empire, which I expected.


What I've actually noticed from the Republic players is a lack of quality keybinds, a lot of keyboard turning, and the reaction time of a drunk Sloth.

I'm really hoping the Republics pvp player base improves because slaughtering you guys 3/4 of the warzones we enter wont be fun for long.

Heh. It also the case that there will probably be a higher percentage of total newbs playing Republic side. From what I've experienced in beta, Republic PuGs on average are terrible compared to Imperial. Many are okay, but the bad ones are really really bad.

Thank you for composing a thread that will have a lasting impression on me.
From now on, I will probably be less likely to tab out and look at the forums, which means my toons get more love.

On Firkaan Crystal, I haven't won an Alderaan yet as Empire, when we used to steam roll it on Exar Kun.

Haven't decided if that's a sign, though, too many factors and it's early yet.

Pretty sure Alliance don't get to play Hutt Ball, which basically makes your entire faction worthless.

Oh look theory crafting.

Let me explain to you how it really works.

You roll Republic. You NEVER play Huttball. Half the the warzones you're in you start while being down 2-3 players for at least the first 5 mins. Which results in a lot of unfair losses.

Internet tough guys can call this a challenge blah blah fight the zerg... which I would agree with EXCEPT you can only que 4 people... which pretty much guarantees you're stuck with random meat fillers... so unless the other side is really, really bad... you're probably not going to win, no matter how good/well you play. All the face rolling CC in the game only makes the uneven numbers that much worse.
