+1 I hate seeing the proof. I wish I could be ignorant but my brain won't let me.

I verbaly mark healers over Ventrillo and we focus them down. BioWare, please ban me for my wretched sins.

Ezy-moders gonna ezy-mode.

.. but the majority of players find that no matter what they try ORvR in Ilum brings the game to a grinding halt. Let's hope they sort it out for those with major FPS issues before GW2 arrives.

/re-open thread BioWare have just announced that Open World PvP has been suspended as of 1.2. Time to temp re-balance the classes, I'm afraid.

Or stop playing, like 50% of x-fire users have. Your demands are powerless.

No. /5 no's

That's impossible! Astral Projection's post was enourmous and he said that this game's growing, so that must be a fact.

Expert.

Troll or on the payrole. The changes are a decent enough start but ORvR is still broken untill they fix the engine. Dead PvP guilds everywhere is testament to that.

Give them as many medals as you like. I'd take happy healers over a team full of pre-madonna DPSers any day of the week.

This latest move all but proves my theory. BioWare know that their PvP planet is not entertaining and in many casses, it's frustrating to the point of rage quiting the whole game. During the first few patches we can observe BioWare's attempts to make the most of it, with instancing and tweeking the cannons. Then GW2 released their press beta. This got alot of people realy excited about the game and it's ORvR features. BioWare realised that to compete with GW2 and retain some of the 1 million people that have signed up for beta alone, they would have to do something simmilar in scope and complexity. BioWare would have then done some planning and came up with a ball park figure to take to EA. EA, having just lost $3 on their shareprice and still wheezing from having to cough up $300,000,000 for SWTOR in the first place, most likely balked at the idea of another significant investment in cash and man power. BioWare as a result are now moving to push people away from their failed attempt at ORvR and will concentrate on their strengths, PvE and Scenarios. If they can raise enough money after paying off the investers they may attempt to take on GW2 in terms of RvR. This won't happen any time soon though and I think the most prudent move for serious PvPers is to take some time out and see how GW2 performs in the beta's.

It doesn't matter how balanced they get their combat for ranked matches if you have to pay to win (buy a NASA specced PC). I've got my money on there being no x-server queue system for these ranked WZs, so the best you can hope for is "king of you server".

A. Remove tank classes and force them to reroll yet more pre-madonna DPSers? B. No big deal these silly medals are only worth 5 valour each despite the QQ over them. C. Give all classes heals, guards, taunts and faceroll deeps (Isn't GW2 doing this?)

Would be much better for tactical play but the FPS issues with ilum make collision a definate no no no no no.
