PvP Community's Plans for Server Transfers

hit the nail on the head right there

here's a sad jawa:

btw would anyone be down for a "farewell 1v1" tourney before transfers (whenever we find out if/when its happening)?

Well, in response to the OP, I personally plan on moving several of my toons if PvP server transfers are in fact available. It's been something I've been wanting to do for a long time. Similar to Jerc, I didn't get into this game for the PvP; I was part of a PvE/RP guild originally, but the PvP drew me in and I got really into it several months ago. I believe playing against the best competition the game has to offer, on our server and others, is the way I'm going to get better. Leaving the friends here on EH would be difficult...but I don't really think I belong in a PvE/RP community, especially after a lot of the current PvP guilds go on their way. :/

I'd personally go to POT5, as overpopulated as it would be.

Eh, I can't speak for others, Nadir, but I treat people in game like it's the first time I've seen them. Life is too short to carry resentment. I only bother posting here because I'd like to see things improve.

Merope Speaks the truth, my win/loss ratio is higher on pot5 than on EH, and I solo queue over there 99% of the time.

I think a lot of people utilized my response to Spurlock for their own purpose, especially the bit about the guild mergers; the original "mergers" happened due to the failure that was 1.2 and the resulting exodus of players over the patches that followed - my comments referred to a later date when Guerilla and Game Genie were capable of fielding their own ranked team, but instead opted to work together.

The level of negativity, whining, and total unwillingness to accept the fact that every player is responsible for establishing their base-line pvp skills is disgusting; while the attitude and actions of the "Elite PVP Guilds" may be questionable/distasteful, there is no doubt that the attitudes of many of the (self-labeled) "have-nots" is disgusting.

To the people who are generally frustrated and are sincerely seeking guidance on how to become a more competitive pvper, I would suggest that you:L
visit your class forums
practice your "rotations" (IE, figure out which abilities compliment each other)
speak to other players who play your class/spec that you respect
inspect those same player's gear and ask questions about itemization
engage in 1 vs 1's
observe other players and try to figure out why they are doing what they are doing.
develop situation awareness (this can be done in both pve and pvp)
listen to Jerc, he's not really a Jerc and for 99% of the gaming population he has repeatedly given you the best advice possible
GROUP UP WITH OTHER PLAYERS (teamwork is king)

Despite our differences, I've enjoyed the opportunity to play against the members of GG/Empire/Guerilla, and I'm truly thankful that I've the opportunity to share a guild tag with all of the members of <Zen> and <Hex>; playing with and against all of you have made me a better pvper, and kept me playing swtor much longer than I ever anticipated.

Finally, I want to give a shout-out to individuals in this thread whose responses have been reasonable and rational, such as Dashto, Nadir, Merope, Tor-barr. Jerc, Peyton, and Sammoj (sure I missed a few).

Pretty much this. 55s on Pot5 is pretty amusing. In the end it comes down to which side overcommits and leaves mid unguarded. But my ultimate favorite is playing the game of "Who isn't watching the Voidstar door". I can also agree that I would pick EH players from any guild over Pot5 pugs any day.

Nubery is my favourite word now Manlio. ^^ I will now make an extreme effort to use that word at least once per day.

I would add you need to know how other people play their classes as well - not just your own. If you blow all your big hitting abilities when someone has their defensive cooldowns up, what's the point? This is where having alts helps. Or at least, lots of practice against said classes.

Okay, now I'm confused.

If the goal with this thread is to generate interest in moving the PvP community to a more competitive PvP environment, then why the push for POT5 if POT5 has worse players than TEH?

....or did I just answer my own question?

There is a larger variety, more pops, more ranked, and while the general population may be worse, the chance for more competitive pvp (aka ranked) is much higher.

I believe that there is currently a total of ten teams queuing for ranked pvp on pot5, that is ten more than we have here.

edit: also, open world pvp is fun

Because they want to play ranked pvp. They've been pretty clear on that from the start. Makes sense to go where there are a bunch of teams and ranked games pop on a regular basis. Can't really fault them for that.

I know that your ultimate wish is that all PVPers are miserable tryhards who love to roll PUGs. It just ain't so, bro. It just ain't so.

Good troll though!
