Then don't make it so overpowered?

They are fixing that in 1.1 making it all pvp combat, which concerns me because we will get crushed due to population imbalances.

I will say it is refreshing to see so many positive ideas, rather than trolling hatred for no reason. THANK YOU EVERYONE for keeping this going, and positive.

Sadly enough, people know about it, and I am on a PvP server, and there aren't many inactive 50's on the fleet. We win Warzones like crazy, just crushed in world PvP due to numbers....

For us it is 12-15 at each node. Plus, I play a non stealthy, so I can't exactly sneak past... The thing is, people are switching now, as is. Just because we cannot win without 'trading' which never works out, and isn't PvP. I honestly think I mild bolster would help.

Exactly the problem we are having right now, just didn't want to pick sides. Also, a 3 faction remake would be a huge change to the game, whereas a bolster would keep it the same essentially.

I am saying for Bioware to make SWTOR into a 3 faction game, it would take a lot of reworking planets and other game systems. Redoing classes, voice acting, months of planning and story developing. Not something that can be done overnight...

Exactly why waiting for balanced sides would fail. It would never get done. If you did something like I am suggesting then people would still be there to play. Not to mention, as soon as someone gets their daily done, they will most likely not go back. So less returning people from the underpopulated side. Which would also result in the people who are outnumbering to sit and wait or not get in at all.

The 3 faction idea is cool in theory, but they would have to do extensive maintenance. Which would result in taking the game down for months. Whereas a bolster system would be a 'quick' fix (speaking relatively.) Just something to help out. It doesn't need to be a huge bolster, but say mixing a mild boster w/ companions could be a smooth balancing force.

That doesn't seem fair to those who aren't outnumbered. They'll never get their dailies done. On a side note I do like the post 2 above me. Except since they are taking companions out completely from Illum, maybe make it allowed to have companions for those outnumbered. Just a thought I guess...

Minibosses isn't a bad thing... especially when 12 people are killing one person...

The thing is there are already too many of one of the two factions already, plus it would take time to get a third faction up to 50. It would also require a complete redoing of all of the planets.

>.> How about a bolstering system for being outnumbered? Doesn't seem too complex...

Care to elaborate? 3 factions? Like having a neutral?

On my server we are insanely outnumbered. It is impossible to win in a 12 vs 1 scenario. I'm not saying which side has more (although I'm sure you can guess,) but it is impossible to accomplish anything. I feel with 1.1 and the focus on making PvP on Illum all about killing, it will ruin the server. Anyone else insanely outnumbered, or is it just me? I play on a PvP server, so there is no reason for 50's to be standing by on the fleet, and I can't make them go to Illum. But then that also shouldn't be my fault that there are 12 enemies to every one ally. It is absolutely unfair.

So far I am giving it an 8/10. It is a blast. I love all of the WZ's except for Voidstar. Huttball is hilariously amazing. It'll be getting a perfect score from me when all of the updates come out, such as: 50 brackets, individual WZ queues, etc. I currently play as a 50 JK Guardian, and have no problem taking anyone out 1v1. Also, being able to hold 4 people+ from taking an objective is always entertaining. Healers can be tough, and same with IA ops, but I hear a lot of QQ on them anyways. I guess the fact that I can beat them is a plus. As long as you play with skilled players it is fun. I have won a game vs. 3 healers with only 3 different dps classes. So needing variety isn't causing any problems. Also able to beat teams like that as well. To me, it just boils down to playing with people good at pvp. Which, with the 50 brackets, it will be more entertaining. I do dislike joining a match, noticing I am against all 50's, being the only 50 on my team, and having 5 lvl 10's on my team. They rarely stand a chance. As far as rewards go, the bags are a decent way of getting gear. Granted I have hardly gotten anything besides the commendations, I feel the payoff is far greater. I don't think people realize how easy it is to get the bags. Not to mention you are getting amazing gear from them. All in all, it is a work in progress. But that's the thing, it is still being worked on. I don't feel anyone should really complain. Great Job BWA! Keep it up!

Isn't there an open cross faction pvp place in Tatooine?

Gonna fix Kira? I would consider playing my Jedi Guardian again...

Anyone else think that the STAP speeder we got with collector's should scale to your vehicle skill? I actually like that speeder...

Considering I have gotten MVP against 40's to 50's on a lvl 11 Trooper... this is just QQ to me... TBH this is a great system they have going, just need to be with competent people.
