your whole team are scrubs, and such a stupid post complaining about something that isnt there confirms it excepting exploited games where we are against 11 or 12 people I win about 80% queuing solo and almost 100% with my premade your thread should be "why am i so bad, and how can i improve" not "why are the classes so imbalanced"

i think people will also leave because the game is full of exploits to the point they cant even have faction balance in warzones

sorc tears yum

my server we win at least 80% of the time. by we, i mean my guild and premade, and the other good guild. the rest of the republic is probably not doing so hot but I dont see many people whining. most empire are bad little kiddos if you're being exploited against, well exploit yourself so its 11 v 11

why must I play with superhuman effort and coordination to achieve my objectives I'd rather everyone cheat so that they are forced to shelf whatever stupid patch they are working on, which will invariably cause more bugs anyway, and fix this instead.

also there are more of them and they have better things to do with their time than troll forums defending stupid persistent bugs

if they did that it never would have gotten to this point, so your hopes are dashed

I don't see any way to enjoy this game unless I exploit, as I'd rather ruin someone else's fun than constantly get 8 v 11'd.

yeah it used to be I'd see the occasional 8 v 11 game, but now its about once every 4 games. also the same guild/people do it constantly. basically at this point if you're not exploiting, you're not doing it right

they probably did mean to buff it, but they just screwed up. like ilum they have good intentions, but what is lacking is talent

im honestly thinking of just playing my backlog of single player games until diablo 3 or gw2 comes out i already canceled but i log in still to do my 2 dailies...except today i cant do half my dailies

3 healthy servers 247 dead servers GAME IS IN GREAT SHAPE

if they turn this fail of a game around it will literally be the amongst the greatest turnaround of any project, EVER. this game has 1) terrible bugs to start with 2) more terrible bugs every patch along with worse or at the least bland new content 3) crew of devs that are at best inexperience, at worst, repeat failures 4) supported by EA business folks who thinks its good idea to do things like start 250 NA servers, 220 of them which are already dead

Oh me too. But i sympathize as my server is slightly less than high pop, so prime time and +/- several hours from it, we usually get 8v8s. But when I play in the morning, or early afternoon, there is literally 0 chance I do not get put into a 6v8 rapefest and it infuriates me. If I was on low pop and it was like that all the time, I'd quit the game rather than reroll. No one should have to reroll just so they have a fair experience in a warzone.

why do i need incentive to go to ilum and get ***** by 20 people? i mean thats something I should find fun right OP has a valid point but in all 3 fail versions of ilum, at least empire could get their **** done. 1.3 there is literally 0 chance republic get their **** done. we will never ever hold mid with these odds, the only thing we had before was to camp our mini zerg vs your max zerg at our base, while we had some small mobile gank squads going elsewhere picking off stragglers. now in 1.3 everyone will be mid (well not the republic - YOU GUYS CAN HAVE ILUM WE'RE LEAVING)

they opened 250 servers. even if OP went to a real high pop servers, theres going to be 220 other servers with people on them, all dead. blame those people for joining a random server when the other choice was to not play at all due to 3 hour queue, or blame EA for being greedy

Thats fine, but they should at least be mindful to implement systems where a faction imbalance will not screw over the lesser faction. 2 easy fixes to the game's pvp: Queues dont pop until 8 people are in from BOTH sides. Maybe don't zone people in once they accept until everyone has accepted, so people can continue to do what they're doing. Ilum should be instanced to allow 35 per faction at a time. Or do some sort of bolstering on the lower pop side. Not ideal, but hey, 100 to 20 isnt ideal either. BAM easy fixes to mechanical issues.

agreed, im tired of starting games 6 v 8 as republic. you cant manage your queue for jack bioware, let us do it for you I'm winning close to 100% of my games with a 4 man premade and we have 8 people to start. Other than that, we lose practically every game since no one can win 6 vs 8. Put us against only premades? Fine. I'll take fair fights 100% of the time, and losing more, than basically knowing if its going to be a waste of time in the first 10 seconds of the match.

fine, but what else is in this game? the pve endgame sucks too. their 'patches' are just cookie cutter instances. if they're going to be a 'story driven' mmo then where are all the story patches?

I agree not intentionally but their badly designed systems favor the hell out of the more numerous faction. warzones starting as soon as one side has a 6 queue, so it will generally be 6 vs 8. which side does that screw over? ilum requiring kills AWAY from the bases, or to pick up crap in a tiny area in the middle. which side does that screw over? they basically do all their design under the assumption that equal numbers are present on both sides, which means everything they do is going to be fail in practice

well they shut down my thread of exploits. there's a invis capping exploit and speedball exploit to go along with what you mentioned about the 9+ group in a WZ

hey i killed a guy and it counted towards the daily wait no

well in theory, you'd think they'd learn from that, but they apparently just thought warhammer's massive fail was bad luck or something because they did the EXACT SAME CRAP. too many servers? check. too much faction imbalance? check. terrible opvp? check. a bunch of people complaining about ranged CC and AoE? check. I'd call them dumb, but they were able to swindle 10 times the amount of money EA wasted on warhammer to do exactly the same thing again, so they must be geniuses.

if they do test it, they certainly only play empire toons

pretty much instead of having to worry about whether your team is better, you have all these other uncertainties like did the other team exploit, do you even have 8 people, is the game already over and you're just there to afk and lose in 3 minutes, will the game even count if you do win, etc etc... there's so many obstacles other than actually playing the warzone, its ridiculous
