As a Warhammer beta tester, I received the “world builder” title, in SWG I got one similar, though I don’t remember exactly what it was. In Ultima Online player towns/guilds that went above and beyond, could receive special decor.. There’s others, those stand out. This stuff has been going on forever, and this is the first time I personally have heard a community complain about it.. Never seen anything quite like it.

This thread is hysterical. Pixel jealousy for items that have no bearing in the game

As opposed to what? Do we really need another "raiding" game? We saw what happened at the first real attempt at a "story" MMO. They (sadly) started developing prior to this mini sandbox craze we have going, which would have been my preference but ahh well, guess they weren't ready for that. I'd love to see it work out like Dark Age, would be a nice change of pace, do I think it will? No, probably not, but if it does. We'll see

If I remember correctly, the devs of TOR were crowing from the rooftops about their PvP developers, and how awesome Ilum was going to be. for whatever that's worth.

Gee, and all I got from that was his guild is looking for something more PvP oriented. Go figure.

It was the furthest thought on my mind a few weeks ago, but now after seeing some real positives about the pvp (RvR), I'm considering it. Need a bit more research, and I'm hoping the RvR is in better shape than gw2, if so... Yea.

Sometimes, I wonder why MMOs have gotten so dull and drab over the years, then a thread like this will come along and remind me.

Because they would make a whole lot more money selling that epic mount or heroic weapon on the cartel market... Welcome to f2p?

I've never seen that happen on a PvP server, dern PvE griefers!!

This is not the OWPvP MMO you are looking for.....

Well of course not. This game seems to almost discourage OWPvP for 50 of 52 weeks a year. I would think folks that are really looking for that would be playing a different MMO by now. But perhaps I'm just over thinking it....

Forgive my ignorance because I'm just recently back to the game. but are you saying the game has a 1-2 week event (once a year) that needs to have two instances ( one with aprx 16 people in it) on a pretty much dead planet. there's a lack of OwPvP participation, and that's the player bases fault? Geez, I can't imagine why there aren't people just lined up just waiting those other 50 weeks a year. Again if I'm off base on this I apologize, just going by the info provided. I love opvp but I'm not really expecting to find much in this game, as they pretty much shy away from it.

Hello, I've recently returned to the game, and I have a few PvP questions. I reached 55 a short time ago, and I really enjoy playing my Guardian as a tank in PvP, however I'm curious about gearing up. I have quite a few of the conqueror pieces, and i'm doing ok, but (obviously) my damage is pretty poor, which I am fine with, but my mitigation doesn't seem to be making up much of that difference. When attacked by a DPS character I really don't seem to stand much of a chance, should I just grow accustomed to this, or should I perhaps add some other pieces besides War Leader to up my damage? My build is along the lines of 39/5/2 so theres a lot of defense going on with my entire build. Granted I don't have much more than the armor, so I still have ear and implants to go, plus I have no augments to speak of. I also realize I may be down a tier from the folks I may be up against (obroan), I really enjoy playing support and I love the control I have with this class, but I seem to be lacking in almost all other areas I guess im just looking for a bit of gearing direction. Thank you kindly.

Crude, insulting, and/or derogatory words are what the are, no matter where you use them. Sadly, some children don't know this.

It will be really sad to see, after season 1 starts, the truly "leet" players of this game, that have to "pug". Its really a shame that these masterful players of pvp, can not manage to round up a few other players just like them, and join a group ranked PvP, I wonder why that is?? There honestly seems to be quite a few of them, and they aren't too bashful about announcing how superior in every way that they are to, normal folk, or "noobs". You'd think it would be easy for them to find a group with all that awesomesauce oozing out (just ask them about it)..... I may have to look into this, there may be underlying issues afoot!

Not that I consider anything the OP stated as actual "fact', it is nice this game is adding to the PvP. Would love an MMO to focus on PvP as much as it did on the PvE, I like both, and theres a good amount of PvE to enjoy in this game, especially compared to the PvP. Sadly, I don't think SWToR is that MMO, but it is nice to see.

I enjoy both PvE and PvP. Contrary to your official poll findings, believe im in the majority. I'm also very much looking forward to some space PvP.

I remember folks paying a thousand plus for some if the better (castles) established housing in ultima online, on eBay . It's surprised me a f2p game hasn't picked up on something like that. Though the housing there had purpose...

If you haven't noticed, this game is not doing as well as was originally expected. I believe a good percentage of the original Bioware is now gone. Story is hard, and expensive. So instead of that, you get 12v12 dogfights. Honestly. And I'm not trying to be a jerk, you might want to get used to it. Your in for a really long wait for more in depth personal story in my opinion.

Sure... It's probably a whole lots easier to make a 12v12 dogfight than it is to make the type of PvE people would like. Get that (pvp) out when they can, and work on more content (PvE?) once it's released.

It isn't about the money. I just gave my paper guy/boy/girl $50 in a Christmas card, i've never met the person, and all he does is chuck a paper out his car window onto my lawn. I just have very little faith in the way things are being run in TOR. Oh, and they haven't given me anything for "FREE" I pay a monthly sub. I'm just tired of the BS, the shoddy development, all of it, I lived through it in Warhammer with this same group, and this feels all too familiar, no thanks. I can count on my paper guy...

My Role-Play days ended shortly after i left Ultima Online, and that has nothing to do with my post, i could care less what they add. I just find it amusing that a game billed as adding the famed fourth pillar to MMOs, the famed BIOWARE story, has content that completly defies Star Wars story. I had fun in Huttball for (one) example, but Jedi fighting Sith to score a point.. Epic story-telling there... as i said, they use the story card when its convieniant...

Things that don't really fit the "lore", such as Huttball, which is fine, unless you're claim to fame is story. My opinion of course.

Theres more than that. This game seems to use the "fourth pillar" only when its convieniant. /shrug

Sort of telling no? I haven't seen such negative feedback in a very, very long time in an MMO, they all have it of course, but this..... In a celebritory post by a CSR, that actually needed to un-stickied may be unprecidented... I hope behind the scenes, this is working out for them, and this is all worth it. As far as the negative posts go, i wouldn't be blaming the consumer if it was my business... /shrug
