I agree with this, if there are "rare", don't have all the mobs running around with them.

The magenta schematics are world boss drops, I saw the crit one drop from the Nar Shadda world boss. I can't remember where the other ones drop.

Ok if this will be a requirement, that is totally assenine. In my world pvp thread I am already talking about an issue with lack of world pvp is partly caused by an intense lack of faction pride. Requiring you to have a 50 on both sides just even more so dimishes faction pride. And if we are going to be forced to play both factions, then we should get a feature similar to WoW's "real id" where I can still chat with my friends and guildies on the opposite faction. I love empire storylines too, but I don't play imp much because it isolates me from all my friends on the republic side.

Haven't played my imp toon on my old server but I will never forget Random questgiver: "It's fantabulous that you've arrived" my Sith Juggernaut: "Did you just make up a word?"

I personally liked WoW's heirloom system in terms of exp gain. I don't mind working hard and earning the credits for it, but I don't like the legacy lvl 25 requirement? How long does it take to reach level 25? seems like you would have already lvled 3 toons to 50 by then? I am lvl 40 on my highest with a couple of alts, and I am only legacy lvl 4 or so, maybe 5.

I will admit I can't speak for pvp balance, as my current computer can't run warzones, i dont get to pvp until my new one arrives, but I think PvEwise this is a bad idea.

This nerf is a foolish idea, going to end up being like when WoW over nerfed the DK tanks and their survivability ended up being ****. I already see by teaming with Shadow tanks, that their survivability isn't as good as my Guardians, yet they are getting a nerf? Stupid

I agree with much of this, there really doesn't seem to be alot of faction pride in this game, sometimes I wonder if it is because it is still new. On WoW, I was Horde and proud of it, after being there for a long time, I couldn't stand to play as an alliance character.

Wrong. Exploring a zone with the constant risk of getting ganked just adds more thrill to the game. I used to love the excitement in WoW of keeping an eye out for upper lvl gankers. And I am only a lvl 40 myself on my highest character so far, so I am certainly could still be ganked myself. It really increases player awareness and teamwork, which are qualities any game should possess, especially MMOs and it should be encouraged.

Mind if I stick this link in my signature? I have been telling everyone about that video, is great!

LOL no joke there. They moderate these forum hard! I bet this particular post will get deleted because I talked about Moderating. Anyone wanna bet credits? Then double or nothing that I get a warning for it also

Imperial agent and Smuggler gear seems to all look alike though, but maybe I just haven't looked close enough, I haven't really leveled either of those classes that much, raised a smuggler to 15 and an IA to 10

I wish they would quit moving my threads. I post in the general discussion section because there are more people there. :/

lol indeed, and I even covered that in the original post, apparently he didn't read.

Agree with this completely. And much of my previous experience is from WoW, I like this game much better, but I have to admit, WoW had some good world pvp going on. I was also fortunate enough to be on a server where it was heavily sought out by both factions.

Well this is a MMORPG, I would be encouraging teamwork, which is the whole point of the game anyway. No reason people shouldn't have allies within an MMO, and there is always general chat, and if I am not mistaken even a cross-zone pvp chat. (that may have been my old server and just a channel someone started, I am not sure.)

Added World pvp rewards would even be an extra bonus, but I personally world pvp just for the sheer thrill and fun of it, I get major satisfaction from seeing a miniwar break out in an open world zone and from seeing all hell break loose.

I have never dealt with camping in a game where it made it unplayable, after someone is camped a little, some upper level players show up to fight with the enemies. Hell to me that is all ganking and camping (which i do very lightly if at all) are, not tools of harrassment, but rather simply a tool to bait higher level players into an area so that the real fight can get started up.

Sadly probably true, though, once I hit 50, I will be hammering the hell out of the empire leveling areas, ganking and raising all kinds of hell, maybe bring some friends along, they when they call for 50s to come save em, there's our open world war right there.

Even being a lower level player, it is fun questing with the added thrill of keeping an eye out for high level players and if you see one before they see you, finding that quick spot to hide, etc...

The factions are pretty balance on my server, and even if not, yes i do see the fun in that, being the underdog sometimes makes it that much more challenging and fun, having to be more strategic about how you take enemy players out etc...

HAHAHA!!! nice comparison

Ok people complain about world pvp and that is the biggest complaint I agree with. Bioware why did you seperate the Empire and Republic quest areas onto separate halves of the map on the mid and upper level planets? The best world pvp happens when players happen to run into each other questing, and get into fights. But the only way to pvp in open world is to go over to the other player's questing zones. The questing zones should have merged more often, where as I was questing, I would run into opposite faction players who i could attack? Is there any developer post on this? I am trying to figure out why you would keep the factions separated from each other? and for people who complain "It will mess up my questing having to fight off opposite faction players" That's what pve servers are for, the whole point of a pvp server is......You guessed it, PVP! "The 50s will just camp lower level planets more." That can be part of the fun of it, a 50 ganks you, you call in help, 3 50s come and kill them, they call in more, and eventually all hell breaks loose, got players all having a war and BINGO, WORLD PVP YAY!

And not like that many people would. Hell, on WoW, i was one of the few Horde players wearing some of that Ally looking gear while leveling, I would use the neutral Auction house to send it. I never saw anyone else wearing it, so was nice to look different.

My first toon was a juggernaut on a dead server. I checked on the repub side on fatman to see the differences in stories, and enjoy my guardian who is now my new main. And I have a good guild over there.
