Mishaman Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 i levelled all 4 classes on republic to mid 10s right now. Friends convinced me to roll on a pvp server.My question is, how critical is open world pvp? i mean if i really wanted to avoid getting in fights is it doable or should I always expect that i will get in the fights/ get ganked ? Basically i am trying to decide if I should stick to levelling a stealthy AC (i have a smuggler and shadow) or if non-stealthy AC can hold their own.

BadgerUSA Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 (edited) Currently, the two factions are highly segregated on most of the early planets. You probably won't see an opposing faction member until the mid to upper 30s. Also, there is currently no reward for World PvP, which also reduces the allure of World hunting parities, but this will soon change in the new few weeks. Roll on a PvP server More targets/allies for me! Edited January 5, 2012 by BadgerUSA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amdramnar Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I do not beleive stealthy gives you any benefits when it comes to world PvP. Even if you are trying to avoid a fight, in world PvP you will run across people high enough level that your stealth is much less affective. Your survivability when trying to level and avoid PvP is more based on luck since at any time a roaving band of players may decide to kill you. Now when it comes down to choosing to participate, each (stealth and non-stealth) has its benefits so no clear winner can be determined either. If you do not want to particpate in PvP at any time of day or night against any level of character (including 10-20 levels higher than you) then reroll on a PvE server.

jtzako Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 World PvP starts on Nar Shadda. You can expect to see other enemy players and even get 'ganked' on that planet and all planets after that (except Taris/Balmorra). How frequent it is probably depends on your server and time of day you play but it does happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mishaman Posted January 5, 2012 Author Share Posted January 5, 2012 I guess I should just stick to one class for now and see how comfortable I am with playing on a pvp server. Gonna try to get my sentinel to 20+. Thank you guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
