Bravo on the satire point. But to the others: Low level pvp is for those who have no clue what they are doing, but hell, at least they had the decency to learn before hitting level cap unlike many. I wish we had some form of tutorial match for them for each WZ. (I know having to explain AH to them...their experience with the zone was lackluster and didn't care for it at all) you give em a few levels, group up with some that seem to perform better...and boom rockin' low bracket in time to hit 30. by all means teach instead of yell, kinda that teach a man to fish proverb....

I feel that changing specs in game can be helpful when you DONT have a healer on the team you jumped into. Same for tank options. I love everyones "FIX IT! FIX IT NOW!! WAAAAH!" attitude. like some dev has a magic switch to fix everything but is just a jerk and refuses to until you dance for him some more. Its not that sinister folks, fixes take work. Some things never get fixed. I think a prime example of that for me is WoW hunter pet pathing issues. almost a decade later and they still never got fixed.

Most people confuse hacks with latency or some bug within the game. Don't feel so competitive that you need to cheat to win. It just makes you a sad and lonely loser with nothing better to do than cheat at a game with no physical rewards. Just report the losers and be done with em. Doubly so if they are your own team.

I think cross server rateds would be a great way to really put competitve pvp into the competitve area. Queues would be quick AND you really would see which teams were the "best of the best" so to speak when you look at someone with a high rating and know thats just not their server but MMO wide.

I hear ya. People who don't contribute much to win but want to QQ constantly that the rest of the team is failing. Had a smuggler healer complain we couldn't peel off all the focus he was getting from the imps in ACW, NVM he was most likely marked, didnt play with LOS and his 300k + heals were mostly to himself. When I finally noticed him, he was ahead of everyone else using cover and shooting his pistol...Yeah way to be the PVP hero. Despite being our highest healer he go no votes because of his QQ.

I could always use more pvpers newbie or not. Yes fun is required, skills will be taught by experience. And I'm more frustrated when we DONT play objectives, not by playing them.

I hear in the video someone ran across the goal repeatedly and it counted as scoring? Thats a big glitch

I want a whole league. instead of WoW style arena's make huttball the arena style team ranked game. uniforms, different fields to play, everything.

Hardly IMO, Its the exact opposite. you say you want competitve pvp, yet you also are saying that any player not in pvp gear should be ground into the dust. This is one of the many reasons we're currently an F2P model instead of sub only. Back before we had a huge gear gap, it made pvp either early in and competitve, or a lot of being smashed until you managed to grind the pvp gear. Thats not really competitive, thats facerolling your opponent. Recruit gear was so underwhelming that it was essentially useless to own. If you wanted to be competitive you had to work your way up pvpwise and save up your comms to get as many pieces as possible. Recruit was strait trash. people arrive at level cap at varying levels so non ranked WZs should have some form of bolster to allow both sides a fair chance at winning the game. Ranked WZs should never be bolstered. Thats where the competition should really matter and take place.

This a thousand times over. Never have I seen a community be ok with pvp. Not in any MMO out there. The fact that everyone agrees that 1.2 was good pvp (or at least tolerable) speaks volumes to the games level of pvp compared to other games out there. WoW never got good reviews on its pvp system. Arenas are always complained about being broken or supporting only x classes as viable.

and depending, see it go the way of ilum. It may not since it will be the only pvp so far stated (no bgs/wzs) and the one server for everyone if it can handle the load.

world pvp happens when people actually show up for it. I.E. hardly ever in a sizable group. That said if open pvp offered rewards equal to or comparable to WZs it may work out. but i doubt it.

Rating may be a good indicator if it actually meant something. Though TBH just another excuse to grind something else. Personally I dont think I'll do ranked when (or if) the season actually comes out. get my PVP gear and maybe do one of those operations everyone keeps talking about...

^this. I want ESO to be good. but realistically I don't see how their pvp will work in an MMO environment when its still based on the right click to attack left click to block no one seeing the maxed out archer shooting them in the back with the massively tricked out bow. the PVE and crafting may be phenomenal though

Thats unsubbing well at least your part of the "PVE baddies" (not an insult here) crowd everyone keeps talking about doing super well with the bolster and yet your complaining about it not working Does anyone keep track around here? Fix incoming tuesday (supposedly...hopefully) not really, I unsubbed from swtor last year around april due to RL concerns and came back missing a lot of goodies. I don't think I'll unsub again unless I have to again. (I stayed out longer than I needed to, but was told nothing great was going on in the game) If your that bored play anothre toon till raid time

300 mil was never a proven figure and James Ohlsen stated the so called "inflated voice acting costs" were bugeted well before the game was put into production. 3 years later the EA Louse is still giving out misinformation...

dunno, My GF has the same issue. she runs pretty decent but since 2.0 hit, both of our systems started experiencing lag we didnt before. I turned my system down and it runs fine, hers (when it lets her turn it down) will often lag city in a WZ.

I vote for my healer (generally what wins the game for me) and for best damage if we win (and dont have a healer) and I didnt see the big contributor. (that guy that made the big play to win)

for all we know these 1000 devs (heck could be just customer service staff. anyone have any idea how much staff one of those corps has? hell could just be the mailroom for all we know) could be working on fifa/madden games or something. Everything in the article assumes that they are all developers and all working on star wars games or something. Love seeing how the #2 MMO is a major dissappointment. Sad really. If your not the new WoW you just suck.

The large scale WoW games didn't fair out well. 40v40 wasn't long after the rush tactic was discovered rendering the map and scale useless and entirely pve instead of pvp. the 15v15s are won by zerg rushing nodes and not defending them at all. just run in a circle destorying then after all caps are done pinning the opponent in their spawn point. sure swtor could do somethings better in this reguard, but larger numbers less about objectives and more about just roflstomping your opponent. I agree a larger warzone would be nice, but in the current state of the game we would see one side dominating the other too easily as just one view of the oncoming rush would have a large number of dropouts insuring victory.

one was a simple fix that just needed a small delay the other is a major fix that was tied to an expansion that required a deadline. I'm sure you and the others that reported the issue on the PTS helped get the ball rolling a lot sooner than it would have been ignored by the players. instead of fixing in may this coming tuesday, could be june or july instead.

Um...um...um... but in all fairnes the new trilogy is unknown at this point. it could destroy all EU from the end of EP 6 forward. Which is both good and bad. NJO stuff was terrible imo, but the old series (like the Thrawn campaign) were brilliant.

Its great news, though to be fair, SWTOR has always been a hot topic in the quarterlies as a lot of investment capital went into the game (supposedly) and Investors want to know that it was a smart money move. Now they will rest assured that EA knows how to handle the business (though we may thoroughly disagree as consumers on that part, as long as the cash keeps coming in investors don't care what we think about the company)

WoW first page of ppl hating on Double XP. personally I loved it. But Pub side im looking at leveling up my alternate 4 ACs (I just have to finish the JK storyline to have the first 4 classes done) and doing Imp side and I'll have 16 toons. Truthfully many will be just leveled by pvp or flashpoints, either way double xp would be a great move for a lot of vets who 1.) already experienced the story. 2.) leveling up by alternate means.

Exclusive rights is their MO, NFL is a prime example. People buy Madden, not because its a good game But its the only game of pro NFL football there is. By signing exclusive rights, we see the end of any possible XvT, Dark Forces.....Oh wait we don't have anymore of the good games anyways. LucasArts did a good job of doing themselves in years ago. Face it, the only good star wars game to come out has been KOTOR, so Disney made a sensible choice. and as for the "call of the force" DLCs I'm curious why EA gets so much flak when Activision's Bobby Kotick started that whole trend and proved it makes more money because idiots keep buying them.
