Maejohl Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 (edited) So, I hit 50 and scoot over today to Ilum, expecting some epic back and forth battles between the two sides. And what do I find? A bunch of green guys standing at one end of the walkers. A bunch of red guys standing at the other. I start attacking the red guys and then get called a douche for doing so. It seems everyone just stands there, destroying each other's stuff until they've got their quests done. Then there's 3 seconds of PvP and that's it. SW:TOR - lame PvP. Darkfall beckons? http://www.darkfallonline.com Roll on Darkfall 2. Edited January 15, 2012 by Maejohl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maejohl Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 Bye .. So you like the fact that there is no regional control PvP of any real worth on Ilum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabbathius Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 In my humble opinion, win trading like that should be a bannable offense. But hey, what do you expect from a bunch of WoW players? From what I hear, that's the modus operandi for that new world PvP zone that was introduced with Cataclysm too. Just trade wins, so that everyone can do the dailies. That's what you get, basing PvP rewards around PvE. Shocking, I know. Who could have seen this coming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razot Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Yes no PVPers in this game.. Only raiders for gear... http://www.eveonline.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maejohl Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 Have fun, cya. Who said anything about leaving? But I guess you guys fail to read, as well as fail to PvP. Yup, as soon as Darkfall 2 is out (which is a REAL full loot, open world, region control, FPS no tab-targetting PvP game) is out, I'm gone. But until then I'm stuck with my guild in SWTOR. Hopefully Bioware will be able to sort this PvP joke out before too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grendol Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 (edited) Everyone at 50 gets their quest to go to Ilum... This really isn't BW's fault that the player base isn't fighting each other. Go rile some people up, make them want to fight, be creative! Most people see PvP only in Warzones so just give em something to think about back in World PvP! If you can't, i guess check other servers to see if anyone is more active because I have had no problems with World PvP and jumping groups with my buds... Sorry for inconvenience but the game isn't **** because of Ilum. Maybe check Tatooine for lowbie levels cuz maybe not everyone is 50 that you would like to see....

Thank you for taking the time to think about the issue and post, I appreciate it. The difficulty is that there is no incentive for me to do any of the things you've suggested. If I did, I'd be gimping myself in terms of access to gear (which we need if we're not uber PvPers ), so making it harder for myself when they (finally) move the level 50s into their own warzones. I know that SWTOR is not a PVP game, so I really should stop moaning. But they really should have learned lessons from other WOW clones on the PvP front by now.

AluminumMonster Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 SWTOR PVP might be the worst PVP i have ever played. It puts WoW arena/BG's to shame in terms of how utterly boring it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoahoan Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Im pretty sure the carebare mentality in Ilum is going to change as soon as there is enough lvl 50's on the server, they will eventually realize that openworld pvp in ilum is the only way to get a proper premade groupdoing any pvp if youre more than 4 ppl that is.

-Aren- Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I don't get the - pvp is boring in SWOTOR? What part og the pvp is boring? is it because you cant instant kill a player with a OP ability? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klathnagma Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 But hey, what do you expect from a bunch of WoW players? From what I hear, that's the modus operandi for that new world PvP zone that was introduced with Cataclysm too. Just trade wins, so that everyone can do the dailies. Nah it's just you are a cluelss hater. Win trading in Tol Barad is very very old news - at start of expansion - and patched by Blizzard in one week. It was that the reward for conquering was sick compared to defending, so both fatcions want to win attack and none wanted to win defense so they could attack next. But as I told you, It was patched in one week. From that point onwards Tol Barad was hard fought. So blame Blizzard's failures on Blizzard, abd Bioware's on Bioware. I have playerd WoW for years and never saw something like Ilum really as Tol Barad was not open world PvP but instanced. There is much more PvP in WoW ... being ded as it has never been ... than in TOR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spencerfcp Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Yea, it is kind of a joke. Biowares fault for letting the factions become so unbalanced and creating a REALLY crappy way to go about collecting end pvp gear. Honestly if you attack Repubs you will NEVER get your gear. So if anything, PVP is discouraged and the sith/republic will continue having tea parties on ilum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crujido Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Another person who thinks anyone cares about them leaving. And yes, they know about illum and if you actually read the forums you would know they are planning to change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurgeonFish Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Yea, it is kind of a joke. Biowares fault for letting the factions become so unbalanced What do you do when everyone wants to play imperial and no one wants to role republic? You force them? How would you fix this problem and explain in detail and with programming logic and knowledge, and share your code so that bioware could make it happen. >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FIGHTorFIGHT Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Pretty easy to fix - just give commendations for killing other players. I bet then you would see loads of illum pvp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
