not bad for pvers eh?

pvp need more stuff in this game and the pve is pretty good for now. next update for pve? 1.8=makeb
I wouldn't count the Space Missions as standard PvE though. Most people do them just to level and get credits (or tokens for the chance to get Molecular Stabs). Heck, I wouldn't have counted LF Tool as a PvE thing, but I use it so often that I sort of have to.

And before you start i'm gonna remind you that recently you got 2 major PVE updates and all we got was a new WZ and gear with +1 stat increase.
1.6 we saw a new wz and cartel crap............. pvpers never get nuthin

This is cool! Just got sage to 45 yesterday, and can already do the event, very nice!
Would like to clear two things though:
- none of my 50s has PVP gear, should they stay out of the Souther shell? Don't wanna buy gear just to get there tbh;
- I'm going away for a week, so how long will the event be on? And also recurring means how often? Annually?

Thanks.

I hate PVP. People will just exploit it and gang up on people in groups to further ruin it. Completely ruining their chance to get anything done. I only enjoy playing WITH others, not against others, or alone.

Way to go Bioware.

My anticipation for this just died. Pretty much everything they do now just turns me off.
This makes it sound like you're right... and if so... I don't like it at all. I was looking forward to this event, but PvP in MMOs is horrible. I'm not interested in going toe-to-toe with people who will defeat me only because they have better gear than I do - and I have proven that I'm a better playing by doing fights Echani style.

The Western Ice Shelf now applies a Bolster effect to all players (but not Companions), similar to Warzones. Although enemies are level 50, level 45 players should be on equal enough ground to complete their mission objectives. If you plan to participate in the [PvP] missions, however, you will have an easier time if you pick up Recruit Mk-2 gear from the Fleet (this gear requires level 50).
@BioWare - Is this a PvP event or what?

By the sounds of it, its a PvP event - so you'll probably get your wish.

Raids aren't the definition of pve. Where is the other pve (the pve that most people do ie solo pve). I'm feeling no love for pvers at all :/

CAUTION: DO NOT LOAD SWTOR UNLESS YOU HAVE AFTER-MARKET COOLING INSTALLED!!

The blog was not as straight forward as it should of been I think. I think it would have helped if they put up a map of Ilum so can match the words up to the bowls (Cheerios or Corn Flakes?)

Question: did I read it wrong or do you have to be on a PvP server to have true, Ops group, open world PvP on Ilum? How it read was that on PvE servers there will be no big open world, just the 4 on 4 in the southern area. If that's the truth it's...disappointing, to say the least. Hoping I read it wrong.
I'm glad I'm not the only confused by this blog... its supposed to be explained properly, and since I've only had like 2 hours of sleep in the last 24 - it doesn't make any sense and it should.

Nothing is wrong with some PvP love, but I can't make heads or tails of the blog. If its a PvP thing - that's great for the PvPers. PARTY ON!

But gosh darn it BioWare, you didn't explain yourself very clearly on this, whoever wrote the blog entry should no longer be authorized to write to the player base until they've learned how to communicate properly with certainty.
