I had a play before and enjoyed it. The game feels optimised now, the group finder is nice. It feels more like it should have been at release. Sadly I'm 700th in the queue for Tomb of Freddon Nadd at the minute so it will be a while before I play again heh. That has kind of annoyed me actually I played on the server since release now I can't because the xfers which were clearly too many but anyways it's a nice patch.

1.2 killed the pvp queue. The only redeeming factor in ToR's pvp was that it was actually very well balanced for a mmo. Of course there were the odd OP classes but since that patch it's gone ridiculous. There is no point being a healer in pvp anymore, unless you roll with a premade for tank support/roll some pointless hybrid spec so you can kite but sacrifice heals. In other words the terribad pvp became even worse ie. A dps gib fest. The sub losses speak for themselves, its such a shame.

At the start of a Voidstar, make it clear what to call the doors. Left/Right, East/West whatever, just say it at the start of a match. The amount of times I've seen someone shout, LEFT! then suddenly the right door on the map gets a bomb on it then ZOMG NOOBZ I SAID LEFT! makes me a sad sith lord.

The time has come for to shamelessly rob the WvWvW mechanic of Guild Wars 2. Do not hesitate Bioware, show no mercy. Imagine a WvWvW Ilum /yay.

I wish they would bring in a xserver lfg tool. I'm sorry but standing in the fleet spamming lfg is not 'social.' If you're in a guild where you can get guildies to do regular runs great you can just ignore the tool. But bioware created a game that was essentially a multiplayer single player game, not an mmo with a persistant world. This is fine in my eyes but we need the tools to enjoy all the content we pay for. I don't get why people would be opposed to a xserver lfg tool.

FALSE. I think guild wars 2 will be sweet but there is NO world pvp in that game.

Ilum on The Ravager is an empty wasteland now. I didn't even manage to get one kill count before I gave up. Even as a blatent fanboi of all things star wars this situation is ridiculous. This and the whole warzones not counting thing. Pretty unprecidented bugs for any AAA mmo I can think of

Both probably. My main worry about it is that it will become a troll paradise. Look at these forums. People are willing to pay a sub to troll a game what kind of scum and villainy are going to be attracted to troll a free to play game with the hype gw2 is getting? Its probably the reason arenanet does not have an official forum for guild wars 2 (good idea )

It's the whole pvp vs pve gear issue that results in developers using 'solutions' like a pvp stat on gear. I guarantee 100% that the raging would consume the entire universe if people that only pvp were suddenly being owned by people in raid gear. One thing I always have to say in these threads though is that if you are playing an mmo expecting skill based pvp competition you really are in the wrong genre of game.

I lol'd . Anyways yesterday I opened a bag and got my 3rd champion head token. I raged, but then thought wow could they not just give you the chance of currency/a token that could be swapped for any piece of champion gear? For me it's the doubles that are annoying.

I think GW2 will be really good. However lets remember there is no OWpvp in that game so lets hope ilum gets fixed for our hit of that. I will def play GW2 alongside tor but its free to play so its not going to 'kill' anything...then again no mmo release ever has killed another game (and why would we want them to?)

/Signed. The scale of what you propose is very large, however I'm sure everyone just wants OWpvp to succeed in tor. Afterall which triple A mmo is going to attempt any kind of meaningful world pvp in the near future? And more importantly how many of them involve lightsabers

It's okay there is another mmo coming. GW2 is our only hope now. Oh tor you were supposed to be the chosen one and be a great mmo!, not leave the mmo force in bugs and rage

Faction balance is so hard to manage. I mean we can sit here and say they should lock numbers to ensure a 1:1 ratio BUT mmo gamers are playing a subscription to play a game. If they want to join the game and play on a friends server, what happens when they are focred to play a faction they may not want to? I think they key to the current problem is to instance the pvp bit of ilum. Empire will have to wait but so be it. My main is Empire but I have a 43 sage i intend on making my main. Either way the situation on ilum today was crazy. On the ravager (eu) we have a few good republic pvp guilds but it doesnt matter how good you are when its 30 vs 100 + heh.

Hahaha now you have to actually pvp instead of win trade
