  1. In open world PvP, however, it IS possible to get more numbers, to send out a call and have people come along for the fight. OWPvP is a constantly shifting dynamic that also allows players to exercise some initiative, or try new tactics and strategies to best their opponent(s). It is in a constant state of flux. "Instanced PvP" (eg: our Warzones) are static affairs that actually tend to punish any creative thinking more than they reward it, with everyone using xx "strats" to meet their goal, and their opponents utilizing xx "strats" to stop them. Nor does the field of battle ever change, except within the confines and rules of the mini-game you're playing. Instanced PvP tends to lend itself towards stagnation and boredom, as everyone has run through the zones a million times and knows what needs to be done to win whatever shiny prize awaits them. And God help anyone that isn't playing the zones "properly", as they'll be met with criticism and condemnation, mostly from their own team-mates (especially true in PuG WZ's). This of course leads to pre-mades, unbalanced forces, and in my own opinion, can actually harm a MMO community more than it nurtures it, as people begin to only clump together with their trusted allies. Not saying this doesn't happen in OWPvP, but at least in OWPvP you tend to gather a more diverse crowd, all from different guilds, etc, and all generally playing together to overcome the opposition.
  2. I find the over-arcing stories to be ok I guess, but most of the dialogue is cringe-worthy, to say the least. Unfortunately, I also find myself spacing through 90% of the filler quests. Having a reason to go and collect xx amount of Bantha backsides is all fine and well, but I'm still doing what I've always done with MMO questing. If perhaps the quests were a little more imaginative, and not the usual Fed-Ex type affairs we all know (and generally loathe), then I'd be a little more interested in the things these NPC's are telling me. Also, full voice acting quests are basically wasted when you have droids yapping at you in beeps and boops, or alien species grunting at you. It's immersive maybe the 1st time you hear it, after that it's the same beeps and boops and grunts as you've heard countless times before.
