This doesn't explain it though: We had FAR more objective points than they did! Almost double! They had *more* healers, they were *not* the better healers. With only 2 healers we had LESS deaths than they did - while they had double the healers and probably triple our heals. We were the better team hands down and yet still we lost.

You're a simpleton! Post disregarded! I know all the big numbers are hard to understand - but maybe you should try looking at the top and seeing that NEITHER of us got past the first door! In a match like VS, there must be a clear discernible tie breaker if no teams make it past the first door. There is not clear, discernible difference: we had the better stats across the board and yet we lost. Sad thing is, we WERE the attackers, they were the defenders (1st time around). This PvP is utterly unacceptable and it's the reason I cannot wait for GW2.

You think pulling players up past the goal line and killing them in a mechanic that is meant to stop spawn griefing and NOT having that carrier score is an intended mechanic? No, it's not - and stop trying to kid yourself it is. It's not fair play. If it's going to kill the carrier, it needs to give them the score as well as they are crossing the goal line. I bet once they change it to where it does give the carrier the score - your cheating *** won't be doing it anymore. End of discussion.

Why is Ilum Total capped and not Faction Capped?

Keep at it. Marauders honestly are one of the more scariest PvP classes in the game right now. Not only do you have amazing dmg capabilties, but your utility (dmg reduction, stealth, heal debuff, aoe party speed buff, etc) are some of the best in the game. Look on the dev tracker: there are changes coming in the next patch concerning how pvp gear is earned. I am NOT one to praise BW on their ****** pvp - but honestly now they are moving in the right direction, at least concerning pvp gear.

I don't sound angry about anything, you on the other hand, sound entirely too defensive of a game that's only one month old. 6months when that number is still relatively high - then you can something. A year plus? Maybe then you can say they've been entirely defeated. A month after launch when people are probably just subbing to run through another class story or two? No.

Entirely? Someone's optimistic.

Wrong. RIFT did far more in far less time than TOR. With that said, I approve of these changes.

Can we get an official response on this please? Why is the planet total capped and not faction locked?

Yep. Always the hard fought, drawn out, fighting for every inch matches that don't count too. I'm hanging on by a *********** thread here.

From my experience this is true. There is a very active republic prescence on my server and I've come to notice that while we have the greater numbers overall, often times we can't get backup because our numbers are stuck on Ilum 2 - while the vast majority of their's is on Ilum 1. This is also true for us at times as well. Why did they choose to faction lock the planets??? I don't understand.

Just wondering. From my experience it seems to be Total Cap, as in if one factions gets a preemptive number advantage, it will be impossible for the other faction to get enough numbers to combat them. If it is Total Cap, why wasn't the idea brought up to faction cap the planets, so there would be a more even spread?

Uhh...ever hear of a game called EVE Online run by a company named CCP? In EVE there is a democratically elected council of gamers that look out for the membership's interests. Furthermore, CCP flies all of those members out (whereever they are GLOBALLY) to have meetings - even emergency ones - with them regarding game issues. This ain't something new.

Agreed. Or pick based on a set of criteria - but the difference between paying for some and others having to pay their own way is bad form imo.

Can we get an updated count please?

I don't mind them inviting certain guilds. Absolutely not. I do however mind the fact that the trip is all expenses paid for the invited guilds and for all the others it's on their own dime. Uhh, so when the invited guilds go to eat lunch with the BW developers where are the other guild leaders going to go? The Subway down the street? Uggh. If they are going to be reviewing guild applications and choosing a pool from there - their expenses should also be taken care of. It's simply just tacky otherwise. Other than that: I do think BW does need to listen to guilds and get their respective focus on the game and its future. TBH GOOD guild leaders listen every night about the game's failings in vent/teamspeak/mumble and have a unique POV to offer BW on how to retain subscribers. I just don't think they should be paying hundreds of dollars in addition to a subscription to present that POV to BW. Asking your subscriber base to do that a month from launch is...uggh. Tacky.

No. Vast amount of reasons why.

Well as I said, I'm interested in attending this event; I am a guild leader. But I'm also a college student. I'm not going to pay for airfare, food and lodging just to sit in meetings all day and help improve a service I'm already paying for. No thanks. I suspect the vast majority of guilds will be from the local area due to the money issue alone.

Wow I just applied. Then I went back and read we have to pay for everything. Bwahahaha. No thanks.

You do not need ALL the datacrons, just the one's relevant to your class. There is no use getting a Willpower cron on a Scoundrel.

You're a vanguard, *** are you doing in melee range? You don't have a clue *** you're talking about.

Will you shut up? Sorcs are almost the exact same as Sages...where are the Sage OP threads? If you're being killed by a SUSTAINED DPS class that is critting for maaaaaybe 3k on abilities - you need to get better. If you're being killed by a SUSTAINED DPS class that requires easily LOS'able cast time abilities to get anything done - you need to get better. If you're being killed by a SUSTAINED DPS class that requires easily interruptable cast time abilities to get anything done - you need to get better.

Well I did some datamining the other day. Apparently the I/O processes affect the input/output extrapolation of the server clusters, essentially causing the single threaded - Aww hell who am I kidding: SWTOR'S ENGINE IS ****!

What about healers, troll?
