Hi, this has been a burning question for me of late, before i start I will brand myself as a wow player. This was more because my computer couldnt handle rift/war at the time than anything else.
With the EGA wait that has happened I have been contemplating rolling on a pvp server. I have always been on a RP or pve server before this on wow because I was afraid of being ganked since I find getting people to group and quest is relatively hard. With the level imbalance that will occur when i get in on friday(hopefully) I can only imagine this will be tougher, even more so because i plan to go republic.
Now, I am fine with pvp and enjoy it alot. After years of playing quietly on wow I have found that it is.. boring. All I do is sit in a city and wait for ques that drive me everywhere. Questing sucks because I am just following the same path I have travelled over and over again. I am hoping to spice this up with the threat of constant death, but again.. I fear I will just keep getting killed over and over by being outnumbered or outleveled which is a very real probability as republic.
I dont mind dying, I dont mind pvping. But if its just people rofl stomping me from 10-50, I dont think that would be very fun either. I know people say that its a hazing procedure to just get killed over and over while leveling but I am wondering if thats the case in swtor?
I am pretty sure I am not the only one with these questions and would like to get in a discussion to *hopefully* bring more pvpers in this game and not have it die in the first year like WoW.
PS I also like rp and pve, which if the past has anything to say.. rp-pvp servers excel at anyways.
TLDR Ive played on rp-pve servers on wow and feel like I missed half the game. I want to participate in these epic pvp battles you hear on the forums, but is it really that glamorous? Or will it just be me being killed by 5 guys when im trying to progress my story. Any comments appreciated.
