i really enjoyed the podcast, hope to hear more. ive been playing mmos since 1999 and if i learned anything, its that haters are gonna hate. you're never going to make everybody happy when everyone wants something different. i don't think the game is perfect, but it sounds like there's a lot of good ideas in the works, and i'm looking forward to seeing them. that being said, i think some server merging and some cross server pvp queues will go a long way. and stop listening to anyone that is crying about wanting to tank in a bikini. <3

see i don't ever quit on a WZ. but my crappy internet will at times lag out and crash my client. i always try to come right back and queue fast enough to get back in the same match, albeit i little late. what they SHOULD do, is somehow tag each player for a particular warzone, and that player KEEPS that tag until the warzone ends. so if playerA bails on his hutball team, he can only rejoin the match that he bailed from when he re-queues. that way players have a chance to re-join their team if it was honest connection error, and at the same time, this will prevent quitters from being able to cherry pick which WZs they want to be a part of. problem solved, <3 Sirks

thread is dumb. if you wanted an open world pvp game, then you shouldnt be playing SWTOR? in most MMOs nowadays, everything is instanced because of all the tears, and people that want their game on easy mode. personally i agree with the OP and i think open world pvp is the only way to go. warzones, pvp "games", and other instanced versions of pvp are incredibly lame, and have essentially killed pvp in mmos. but everyone likes something different, you and me might enjoy different things (big shock i know). so instead of an all or nothing tear-a-thon, people should cry harder not about changing the existing system, but adding an alternative CHOICE of an open world pvp server. successful MMOs all have 1 thing in common, they offer many choices. No company can go wrong by adding optional choices for players that want to play an mmo like they were playing back in 99-04 <3

during 1pm-9pm (EST) the queues have a very quick turn around, not more than a 2-5 minute wait. but the population is the largest problem in regards to this waiting time. a lot of the pvp matches i join are made up of different combinations of the same 30 or so players. i play a lot from 11pm - 5am, and i'll tell you that in that window you are going to wait 45min - 60min for each pvp match to start, and thats pretty horrible. BW should seriously consider merging some smaller pop servers together (id even consider merging the north american pop with the euro pop so that both groups would have over night populations to play with on the server. not mention, no mmo is complete without the swedes).
