Same issue as every other mmo's i've played this last years
Huge imbalances on WAR for exemple .
People just know it's gone be imbalanced but keep on joining the "bad4ss" side.
Sure you want to be with your friends, you may like one story line more, you may even thought this would be different on this mmo. I understand and I dot not judge.
But if you are concerned by pvp/opvp, it might be wise to take a minute or two to change this choice now rather than waiting for the unavoidable inbalance and hoping for other players or worst developpers to fix the issue.
We will probably end up in open pvp with fewer republics who will get rolled on by the empire zerg, and this situation won't benefit to anybody.
Wait a few days, maybe a few week to see flourish countless topics about the same issue:
- Republic qq'ing about the empire zerg
- Empire qq'ing about the lack of "challenge"
It has always been the case on a mmo with 2 factions with no server limitation and i do not expect swtor to be any different.
Anyway we'll fight untill the dead for the Republic !
