Events bringing the trolls out from under their bridges, and how to fix it.

just skip the pvp area quests for this event if on a pve server. it really isnt worth it. for too many pvp gives license to the "do anything to anyone" mentality.

Im not a pvper at all in this game. Ive done pvp pretty well in other games but this one i leave it alone. Personally im not to fond of the pvp areas myself.....but...i will go into them if it exist in any given area. There always something that draws me to them. *shrug*

To put it plainly as i can, i like the thrill of the whole thing. I understand that going into an area as this that flags you is pretty much my permission for somebody to gank me when im not looking...its part of that thrill im speaking of. The thrill of having to look over my shoulder to see if anybody is lurking is a thrill....just like it was in many other games ive played that involved walking around in hostile areas.

I say keep the pvp ffa areas as is. I actually think there should be more of them.....i would venture in them all...even though im not a pvper myself.

This complaint is similar to those who say there should no datacrons which require jumping or more than one player.

Hate to be cliche, but PVP happened in a PVP area. Stay away if you don't want to face the consequences.

My only real gripe is the fact that it's FFA. The craptastic targeting system and inability to have Ops groups to assist with friendly targeting makes the experience a bit clunky during brawls.

There is nothing that can be done about trolls unless BioWare decides to take a very strong stance against it and creates real repercussions and puts a system in place for punishing trolls. MMORPGs have ALWAYS brought out the worst in some people, and this stuff has been happening for a very long time. Fact of the matter is... you're going into a PvP zone, the quest, whether the objective is killing other players or not, is in a PvP zone, and you have to deal with that. You can either find ways to get around this, or you can just not do it at all.

I hate to say it but I just see this as straight up whining, these quests you're talking about are in a PvP zone for a reason, you know there's very little world PvP going on if any at all... right? This is probably one of the only things that promotes world PvP. Deal with it, find a way around it, or don't do it at all. I'm sorry.

I totally agree with you BUT, you are mistaken in one point!

There are no 7 pve and 2 pvp missions in the Gree event. There are 7 pve missions outside, and 2 pve missions inside the pvp area. BIG difference. I totally agree with you, that there sould be 7 pve and 7 pvp missions at least, but as things are now, there are 9 pve missions, and 0 pvp missions. BioWare design fail.

I'm merely telling you that you will achieve nothing with that tone and that it's hypocritical to tell someone to stop whining while giving off the impression that the entire thread is a personal insult to you and the way you think other people should behave.

Edit: Just saw your second reply.

It is your opinion that people are wrong to feel this way all right, there's nothing factual about it. Obviously I wasn't referring to the mechanics of the event (which are the facts you stated) as it's clear that that is how they currently are and the OP questioned whether they should be changed. You don't think so, which is fine, but there's no need to be as rude about it as you are.

your wrong there they are pvp quests you want that node to get the middle then fight for it, that part of ilum has bin pvp area since day 1 of this game and today it still is, dont like to pvp then dont go in a pvp area easy as that

EA has developed "Star Wars : The SIMs" ? Go on, tell me more about it !!!

It could be you, too.


And there are 2 questions Bioware has never answered :

- Why is there no mechanism to let one self get "unflagged" ?

- Why is there no mechanism to let PvP players get flagged for PvE when they enter PvE area ?

It's very cynically put, but I agree here.

Grief-PvP'ers only want 1 thing . To get to the top as fast as possible so that they can grief everything beneath them.
