^this , the quested gear is good enough to get you to fifty half the time it's replaced by the planet gear from the coms and that gear lasts quite a while. If they are intending to sell gear in the shop I would think it would be 1-50 gear that levels with you and is replaced at 50

Maybe there intentions all along was just a money grab with no real plans to continue the product once the resources have been tapped out? In all they are trying to make money off someone else's mental property are they not?

To be quite honest in comparison to GW2 look at what they offer for content without a sub fee or a store and then look at what star wars offers..... Kinda puts things into perspective wouldn't you say?

Say you want to pvp on a planet you just select it on the map for open world pvp map layer and QT to it, if an aposing faction wants to go to the other factions planets, the can only enter the open world pvp map layers. Bases would be sanctuarys everything else FFA Lol! Edit: or make aposing faction bases open for attacks, either way map layering to pvp should be relitvly simple.

Why not just add a map feature to be in a pvp map of the world that you QT too like other map layers? But of corse if you go to the pvp map be ready for what ever is thrown at you Lol! Edit: made a suggestion in the suggestion forums on pvp map layering if anyone wishes to comment, thanks!

I'm pretty sure OWPvP is FFA or else why the hell did a republic group kill my republic raid while I was on a WB during the rakghoul event? And the we slaughtered them?

And if they added cross server ques the que time would nearly be instant as soon as you Clicked to que Lol!

Thing is not everyone is going to want to be forced to quest in aposing sides areas, all I'm saying as it stands now with the limited wz's for f2p people all the open world areas currently in the game now will explode with the free to play people hitting level cap, there going to want to do something once they hit fifty. So I'm betting that the open world pvp will be it, I just hope Bioware is prepared for it. Lol

I love AV the most but still riding up to our one tower and having an army of horde at the crest of the hill then getting creamed to spawn at the furthest gy I was always like awe dang it!

I actually think this will happen if they merged the servers enough to layer the maps correctly give or take each map sits around 200 people, that's quite a lot of people to pvp with on one planet on the open world pvp planets of corse. If the found ways to implimemted space missions to taking over planets spacing docks for controll well that's another can of worms Lol

Still beats rolling up in your epiced mount getting stunned then one shotted back to the keep in AV

Well look at fleet sometimes well over 225 people with npc's in a contained area what's the difference if we're all swinging our light sabers?

Question though, what if the combined all the extra servers they have floating around to support the load, wouldn't that work?

IMO honestly I see every open world pvp area being Zoos of F2P people lol better start grinding the gear now because it will be massive carnage FFA!

With ilum in mind however I kinda am thinking it will explode with free to play I mean really what else are they going to do once there lvl 50?

I think the entire problem at 50 is the gear gap, people in recruite gear should only go against people of the same gear score. As you build your gear score you advance to higher brackets of war zones, to me that would solve a lot of the problems. But hey I'm only the consumer of the product and not a designer Lol

I had a lot of fun in wow pvp too, but after playing star wars for a week I find wow pvp hard to swallow, and regardless how well a team works together there's no way to stop one shot instant death the entire bg. I do realize I am talking from the 10-49 bracket the fifty bracket probably does suffer from the fresh fifths and geared ones but that's why the lower bracket is more appealing its less gear based and more Skill based

Yeah and being geared getting one shotted in graveyards all day is fun too, might as well only wear a tabard and a fishing pole for gear lol

This is just from an observation I have made being subscribed to both SWTOR and Wow, I have to say that I am playing both a level 14 shadow and assassin still in starting planet greens aside from light saber and I do fairly well in war zones.. My World of Warcraft characters are pretty much in the same generic gear comparitavly as my two star wars characters at the moment I have a death knight in death night starter gear doing lvl 60-64 BG's and after a week of smashing on my low levels in star wars then trying a random in wow. Ugh....... Star Wars has less people but way way faster ques as well any level Can make a difference in a war zone. I just had to share this because I feel the more I pvp level my assassin and shadow the more I enjoy it and find that it Realy is like night and day. So kudo's to you SWTOR I hope you keep things moving the way people of any level or skill can enjoy pvp. And for those that think I'm crazy do wz's for a week and then try som BG's in wow Ugh way different.

Probably the core reason so many have graphic issues, this needs to be added to patching. I didn't notice it untill I added games to my PC that had it in there patching. Now it seems my swtor graphic issues have disappeared!

If the price was reasonable I would probably sub for a two year plan.

Yeah I'm not going to try to read this entire thread and sory if it's been mentioned, but if we decide to play for free will we be able to purchase with cartel coins the content we want to be able to customize our game such as specific war zones and flash points? I like the free to play idea if we can totally customize the features we want and decide what we don't. Also will we be able to earn cartel coins in game from say codex entry's or questing?

I'm going to stay, still toying with whether or not to sub or go free to play however, for me I have nearly endless gaming time and I would like to use the free to play option to unlock content I want rather then try and get through all content possible Lol, the unlocking feature would make time management for me a heck of a lot better!

Call it old school nostalgia but when I'm questing and force leap into a pack of mobs and hear the Star Wars theme start it's like getting chills down your spine the being pumped to wipe out every mob you can before it ends Lol. That alone is enough of a thrill to keep me playing. love it!

I enjoy it very much, infact this game has even made me a bigger fan of star wars if only this game was around when I was 10 back in 1985 OMG. Simple fact is I'm staying with this game regardless just because it is Star Wars. The music alone while questing is reason to enjoy it!
