Sanguine-sun Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I've heard stories about people being kicked from Republic flashpoints for picking dark side options in the dialogue. True? Stuff like that is insufferable. I'd rather the opportunity to kill these players who see themselves as 'the good guys'. Also, brown robes and Jedi. Yeech. NTY. Better hope not because that can be harrassment reportable and 1 weekable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxoutput Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 In the end it is a developer issue. How many mmo's have come out and had unbalanced populations? Plenty. Low populated servers/sides etc. They really have not learned a darn thing. Bioware needs to fix this issue or suffer. They will suffer where it hurts most, profit. This game is new now but overtime people will get tired of the bad server/population management and just take their money/time else where. This is not to say SWTOR wont be around for a long time, just saying they will bleed off players for no reason other then not fixing the problem.

NinteyNines Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I tried rolling a Jedi Knight but the story just bored me to tears. The characters and story have zero depth. By contrast, the Sith Warrior story is actually quite engaging right from the beginning. I would have rolled a Smuggler, but IMO the cover system is totall fail. I loved the IA story but the game play just feels off. This is only my opinion of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
virtualmatrix Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 No. I originally rolled 'pub and I couldn't stand the narcissism and holier than thou attitude that they bring. I'd much rather stay with the Imps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oneiros_IV Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 BW can't won't and most importantly shouldn't "do anything" about it. It's up to ppl to pick side and server, but hey it's 21st century darkside runs strong in internet. But I say it will balance out over time, ppl will bad on some servers, some hipsters will change to repubbie etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandHarrier Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I'm letting my sub expire precisely because the Republic story lines clearly got the short end of the stick and I have zero desire to play Imperial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oneiros_IV Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Also I must remind you that Luke fought against the odds in the imperial galaxy. So stop being cowards, play republic, be smug about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rzrknight Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 If they or when they create a shared vault for all my chars , i promise i will create rep alts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeSamourai Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I rolle a trooper alt, and am having a blast with it. Trooper storyline is awsome. I actually enjoy it more than my BH to some degree. The only downside IMO is the armor styles are VERY similar (boring Stormtrooper-esque outfits) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laiov Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 (edited) Also I must remind you that Luke fought against the odds in the imperial galaxy. So stop being cowards, play republic, be smug about it Luke was extremely whiny. He spent the original trilogy whining and being squeaky clean, except for that accidental incest thing, until the very end when all the whining and plot-reversing force-accidents culminated in a triumph of smugness. Holy god, the Galactic Empire should've won. Yoda and Windu are the only Jedi not deserving to be put out an airlock. And they aren't in this game.

tkshinoda Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I scrapped my level 50 shadow due to being the only one in any game i played in WZ's that actually did some effort (or so it felt) over and over and over trying my best to keep my spirits high i just had to give up, rolled a OP instead won every single WZ i have set foot inside after i hit level 10, i am now level 45. I might go back to my shadow when the sides even out but right now, way too many herpderps on rep unfortunatly :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
well Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 If they or when they create a shared vault for all my chars , i promise i will create rep alts. That would definitely make it easier.More folks would probably do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abanoth Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 (edited) I always roll the minority faction simple because I like ganking people and need a lot of targets, it must suck to be Empire on a pvp server.

Sadix Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Its what I did. I rolled an Operative originally. Hit 50 around xmas day, and began rerolling my shadow by new years. Having a ton more fun pvp'n and playing republic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi_Wannabe Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 No I will not roll a pub! Balance takes time. I'd bet that most of the 1st month sub drops will be imperials! Lets let 3 months go by and reassess whether or not people should start re-rolling already. That happened on Aion. At launch (North America & Europe) Asmo greatly outnumbered Elyos, Now they have in game incentives for people to roll Asmo ro balance the servers. 1) Wait for people to leave the game. 2) ??? 3) Profit.

pwncakesforall Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I rolled a couple republic players. Fell asleep at level 12. Sorry. LOL! That comment's full of win. I haven't tried the Republic tho. I will in the near future since I'm a smuggler and trooper fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sindorin Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 The more imperials, the merrier. We just ROFL stomped Ilum on Twin Spears and held it for an hour. Pushed all Imperials back to their base or off the planet. Just goes to show you where the talent is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNdoki Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Wait, weren't the numbers released by ea more like 200k reps and 240k imps? 4:1 seems like a gross overestimate compared to the actual figures we got, even assuming a lot of people don't play their rep alt (like me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smzel Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 So far Ive played a bit of Jedi, and my main is lvl 50 sith. As a sith inquisitor my main goal through the story is the accumulation of power, I do what im told when I need to but overall what I do I do for me and me alone. This I can relate to in some sense at least. As a Jedi, even picking darkside options, I do things for other people for no discernable reason other than I'm a jedi and jedi are good guys. I find this wholy and completely uninteresting, and I for one, naver having been a monk, cannot relate to this at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pangwl Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 well, it's not just only about the population imbala.... in PvP Warzone, most of the time, it's like 5xlvl50 Imps, vs. 2x lvl 50 Rep... Rep got face rolled all the time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StormDragonlord Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Incredible, absolutely incredible. Why should you be rewarded for playing the overpopulated race? Reading comprehension is not strong on this one. I suggest you reread his post and try again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
