After playing this game throughout the whole content pvp and pve, i have encountered some problems that are unfortunatly just game breaking.
And what im obviously complaining about is the Ilum state, as a republic player im sure you are aware that in most servers we just get farmed. And it has reached a point where i cannot even complete my daily because the amount of Imps is just TOO DAMN HIGH sometimes 3 times our size.
This kind of development is what destroys Games, SPECIALLY Online 1s
Whoever thought about this change should be fired or taken from the development position, the changes YOU implenmented are draining a database that is already irritated by the buggy state of some PVE experiences, and you're DREADFUL customer support.
PVP State - At the moment i am a valor 51 jedi guardian as much as some things around my class anoy me and the pvp is abit unbalanced thats now my main issue, because even with some opness its fairly playable if you have a decent amount of awareness, The warzones have a fairly decent design and to a certain point you can have a good time, i am fortune enough to be in a top server guild and we usually queue in group and we tend to win 8/10 warzones we do, So on that aspect i cannot complain much, but that wont last long and i'll explain why.
The Ilum Mistake - This is by far 1 of the worse mistakes i've seen they doing in such a sort amount time upon release and there are alot of reasons why This SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN IMPLEMENTED
Reason 1 - Bioware was aware that there was a faction unbalance, it was not a ocasional issue, almost all servers have this issue where Imperials Outnumber Republic and EVEN if it was the other way around, Doing open World pvp without safety measures to counter population inbalance is just plain stupidity there is no excuse for this what so ever.
Reason 2 - And note most of the reasons im listing are just a domino effect of Reason 1, the amount of valor you earn is huge and that by default makes people exploit the system whenever im online there are always a group of 20 imperials + farming republics and earning loads of valor.. + valor = + rank, + rank = Battlemaster Gear, which by default unbalances warzones because the amount of people with BM Gear is just crazy, i did a Warzone yesterday where 6 of their players WERE battlemaster geared.
Reason 3 - Buggy ilum, you rarely can do something about it because most of the times the turrets are bugged and even when they arent u get charged when ur on it and get instantly dismounted. Which only proves the amount of resources you did not put into developing the Area, it has a subpart design a slugish interface and its bugged 90% of the time.
Reason 4 - Republic players are getting tired of this, to a point that we rarely have more than 20 people on a ops group and when we do they are just 3 times our numbers... For example just now i logged off out of pure Frustration there were so many of them (Reason 1) There were many heavy geared players there (Reason 2) and i couldnt even get the turret working because it was bugged (Reason 3) I see players that wanna experience pvp at 50 in Ilum and ask "Is this world pvp? this is horrible" and fact it is! I've seen people QQing about it and saying they are gonna stop playing, and i cant even "defend" the game, because they are right.
Result - Republic Population will overral diminish, either by rerolling Empire or just Ragequitting, as a result Empire Warzones Queues will be very long, because there wont be enough Republic population to feed the pvp 50 bracket.
This reflect the poor development skills, i can assure you that you can grab random people from the forums that will have better ideas than the 1s you have had. It is Rushed/Sluggish and Lazy changes.
People are complaining and they have the Right to do so, and i grow more unsatisfied by the day, as much as i enjoy the storyline and certain aspects of the game, these issues are just destroying completly you're database.
Odds are no proper "admin" will see this thread, but at least as a player i have the duty to report some sort of feedback in the best objective way i can. And this my friends is inadmissible.
And dont argue with "When was wow released ther were problems aswell" because that is utter stupidity, WoW was released the MMO market didnt have the development it has today, there is not excuse for slugish development and rushed content, fact whoever is designing the PVP changes as in Ilum changes should be put aside and let proper developers do a decent job. I Could easily in a couple of hours grab a pen and paper and list half a dozen concepts for Ilum that are milion of times better than this sillyness, and i am A FREAKING GAMER.
On a personal note i wll unsub and the end of this month, if not proper action is done against ilum.
/Rant Over
Have a nice day.
