the only solution is to open rvr and have people from other servers to make up for it. They cant make same faction vs same faction open world pvp like there wanting to do in the warzones. They need to do that now rather then later. Its going to happen sooner or later theres no other solution

this is as positive as it gets gabe please read Ilum bases As ive stated in other posts the main issues with these bases is lack of defenses. The bases need the following things implented 1. The bases need lot more gaurds and wall turrets. I say this b/c as were seeing really now more then ever that the opposite side can sit in the other sides base. 2. The bases need to be more deeper like the main bases when u land on ilum. They need to be closed off and have 1 entrance in/out 3. Thier needs to be a base boss to kill thats 80 to 100k deep inside of the base. This boss needs to have the highest chance of getting pvp gear/champion bags and even armor pieces in themselves. I base this on how easy it is to take the bases currently. Shooting a rocket and camping the repair box is just not doing. Theres needs to be a raid to go into the base and strategically kill a base boss on top of taking the turrets. This would make for better pvp and more people organizing to fight for an objective So heres how the base take over should be 1. use rocket launcher kill turrets 2. Fight your way inside the base (should be lots of door gaurds and droids/turrets to fight your way through. 3. Kill the base boss thats a 80-100k deep inside the base then cap the base. 4. Loot boss or chest (This boss must have the highest drop rate for champion bags/commendations and even gear itself) 4. The repair box for the turrets needs to be inside the base why this is outside? I do not know. This makes for harder and a better experience to take the turrets out. Anyone can go shoot a rocket launcher up there and camp the repair box. 5. We need to have healers be able to heal please remove -30 healing 6. We need to have more functional/more useful manable gun turrets 7. Faction imbalance im going to be honest gabe your gonna need to open rvr and other servers ability to come and go to have functional pvp on any server. This issue cannot be adressed with same faction vs same faction. Really need to get this rvr and cross server pvp going 8. Raid assist we cant do much in a raid with no raid assist. Ive complained about this issue in beta. If you want to form a community and have organized groups fighting we need a raid assist badly These ideas imho would go a long way in ilum i know theres going to be lag and fps issues and theyve stated there working on them. To gabe i hope you read and consider these ideas. I think this would really improve things if one side could actually defend thier base and putting a base boss would create more raiding and better fun for all. Please post constructive ideas ill admit like a lot of people im getting very frustrated and i want this to succeed for us all both sides.

i was wondering this myself when gabe said theres going to be 100vs100 on ilum it was very depressing to see how lagged it was when it 30 reps and 30 imps standing there and not fighting on top (to be fixed tommorrow i hope)

yeah and ive seen that turret destroyed actually. Yes thats my point you should have to fight for the base not take it from the outside. also the reps were sniping above from inside our capped base lol. Having a base boss and making the defenses better would make for better pvp. If that base boss had a super high chance of dropping champ bags and actual armor pieces,mods you name then you would see more organized better pvp id think.

the problem is theres no 80-100k boss inside the ilum bases. Ilum bases are to open. For example there was rep guys camping above the imp base from inside the base. Put a 80-100k boss inside the ilum bases and make the bases harder to get into when owned by a side. I did my ilum daily yesterday to and it was very depressing made me consider quitting actually but ill give it another month or so...

My main incentive bieng in beta and now live was the open world pvp factor. This video below really got me excited (video was made before launch) I also recognize the game isnt even a month old yet so im taking this all into consideration with my thoughts here. 100 vs 100 people in this battle. As of now the zone is extremely lagged especially where both the republic/imperials trade dailys. Even outside of this zone ilum is extremely laggy. Please post your view im sure it doesnt lag for all. I bring this up b/c of the 100 vs 100 comment made in the video. Ilum bases Why are these bases still wide open? In beta it was the same.. There is little to next to none objective based pvp and what their is outside the base? Ilum bases have poor defenses atm. Why is there is not 80-100k base boss to kill to flip the base? This would give incentive to group up and raid into the base. The base cannon repair is outside the bases still? These bases need a huge redesign and need to be deeper and way less open and have more base gaurds. Theres opposing sides camping inside the enemys base and where speeders land... The rocket launcher idea to take out the base cannons is "meh" you should have to get inside the ilum bases and destroy the base gunner crew deep inside the base. There really needs to be an 80-100k base boss that you have to kill after killing the base gunner crew. This base flipping boss should have a high chance of getting a champion bag. The highest in the game. this would make for better long term pvp. The blow up the tank dailys should be removed or put outside the main pvp zone there. Its not pvp. Ive been a long term supporter and fan of bioware ive met you guys at the comic con hotel event. You guys seem to be trying and so far i been some what impressed but ilum is seriously concerning me and I hope you read this gabe and post. FYI (I know there is a fix in the works for this already and i been trying to go on test server to see but been busy)

I still like the game but playing in beta and up to today my overall impression is the majority of the budget was spent on voice actors to the point of not being able to even afford server forums or server forum moderators.(Yes im aware they are now putting them in soon) What i dont think bioware realizes is you dont get chances for 2nd impressions. Sadly from what ive read on a lot of mmo sites is the majority of people think this is wow and that the core pvp is lvl 50's fighting lvl 10-20's. Why they didnt put the brackets in sooner for warzones is beyond me.

The problem seems to be lack of objectives. With no objectives open world pvp is ganking and people having to organize like this op did. Im getting very concerned b/c ilum was advertised as 100 vs 100 people and since launch it feels like im back on my starting planet. Way to much pve nonsense. I love bioware but i bought the game for open world objective based pvp which i have not seen even in beta sadly. Gabe amateglo your great guy but im losing hope ill give it another 2 months but im sick of wz's that dont even launch 1/2 the time. (yes i know the game hasnt been out a month yet and understand that) Why there isnt capturable bases on most planets is beyond me = (

well this is dam nice if only lotro had reacted in a timely manner instead of 5 years id still be there lol. Good work and im glad to see responsible and fair balance brought to the game. Once again thanks for the explanation and hard work devs = )

the thing its only fast if your doing everything all the time. I.E questing/storyline/warzones. If its going to fast just slow it down lol. I know ill still hear its fast but id rather it be optional to lvl faster then it bieng to slow to lvl up.

Open world pvp!! nothing else. I want a showcase on open world pvp and discussion about world pvp and ideas about open world pvp nothing else matters to me lol. OPEN WORLD PVP DISCUSSION!! OPEN WORLD PVP DISCUSSION!! OPEN WORLD PVP DISCUSSION!! ^

Well thanks for explaining this in detail to us stephen.Ive been a long time supporter of the game and ive met u guys at the comic con event but i have to be honest im starting to get concerned. I understand what youve explained there but what i dont understand is why for the last year or more in beta this wasnt adressed? Im noticing a lot of the bugs I have as well are the same ones i had in beta as well. Im hard pressed to believe this is biowares fault as EA does publishing for the game and what im seeing since launch is everything bieng fixed after the launch like all EA's half baked games are released which i why this is the first ea game ive bought in years oly because of biowares involved... Ill be here either way i enjoy the game and unlike most i realize it hasnt even been out a month yet im getting extremely concerned i have to say......

i dont understand why they were taken out in the first place? what would be ideal is if you could have a gtn terminal on your ship that would be the best thing ever. I cant really choose enough places but i liked it better in beta where they were all over the place leveling was a lot nicer for all. I dont like how it is now its a real pain in the bleep oh look theres 30 people loading in for me to look at the gtn lol

i seen a hood up armor set but i dont care for the kiss ban spikes, Geesh they make it so hard on themselves all they have to do is make black robes with hood up and mods in it problem solved thats what everyone wants anyways i dont care to look like im going to a kiss band concert

ravage is still bugged dont get me started... also battering assualt im noticing doing the same animation loop ravage did in beta. Its not direction or anything it gets caught up in an animation loop that im tired of reporting

The main complaint i have about maruaders is the 6 month old ravage animation loop bug which i now see im getting with battering assualt as well. I reported the hell out this bug in beta oh well sigh.. I would like to see maruaders/sentinels oth get a maybe 5 to 10% dps boost though but im fine how it is but when i go on bh or inquistor it is bit odd there doing 5 times the dps the maruader does i dont know if the same for sentinel or not

lol i farmed a trooper at shrine of healing for over an hour that was 2 levels higher trying to kill and afk bh and after 8 kills here comes a rep zergball and rolls the place and the more imps come in retaliation. Its what the pvp server is at atm gank or be ganked make a choice and make it fast!

the other thing that happens though to is ill join the warzone and its in the middle of that door and its already saying your going to be kicked and poof 1 sec later after i joined to go into the warzone im kicked out lol

well the one thing i can say is bioware does listen and the 10th is thier update. What i dont get though is why isnt getting gear or the tokens about capturing bases? I e kill a base boss and hold a base for a certain amount of time equals x amont of tokens or gear? So theres more incentive to holding bases and pvp'ng at the same time ill see how it is the 10th. You do know u can go on the test server and see how its going to be? dont you
