Ramsenyou Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 The biggest problem is the faction imbalances (which isn't a BW issue, it's a player base issue). Granted there are some servers where people are exploiting turrets or whatever. On Iron Citadel, it's been a trade, basically we're dictating the battlegrounds by retreating to southern and pushing them back into their base. The valor bonuses are kinda OP in that i've seen people go from valor 10-50 today in 4 hours. The Illum "fix" was fixing an objective trading problem, now it's a PvP epic battleground problem? Stop the QQ'ing about being on pub side or getting pushed into your base... If you're being med center camped that's one thing, but if your faction is getting legitimately stomped then leave Illum... Nothing is forcing you to be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyCats Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Yes, please stop the QQ, SW:TOR is a single player RPG, play it as one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zynellan Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 So getting valor 10-50 in 4 hours is working as intended? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youmu Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Epic PvP battleground? 1 republic guy sneaking around capping bases while the handful of imperials are driving around in circles looking for supply boxes. Epic PvP, ineed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidank Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Faction imbalance IS a bw issue, there are a number of ways to make factions more balanced and bioware hasn't done any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevalion Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 The bottom line is that the OP is right.... from a certain point of view. we WANT high populations in the PVP zones, imbalanced or not. What is required to make a 2 faction system that is imbalanced work correctly is proper rewards for the underdog faction. Simply provide a valor gain buff to the currently outnumbered faction in the pvp lake and make it scale based on the imbalance. Poof! Instead of getting farmed by the zerg, you are farming the zergs (which is very satisfying let me say) The spawn camping is imo a game breaking issue and needs to be fixed ASAP.

Xienive Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I mainly consider it a playerbase issue. However, there are definately things BW could do to change some people's mind. Little things such as get better armor designs, and fixing animation lag comes to mind. I don't personally have a problem with either of those playing as Republic character but I know that many other players do and those 2 things alone often encourage Empire play. Not to mention the fact that in trailers and such they did their best to make the Empire look good and Republic look terrible. Even on the "Hope" trailer, Republic still barely pulls it off. As silly as it is, it really is that kind of stuff that persuade a lot of people to a faction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdmiralOnasi Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Players are intended to farm for valor by spawn camping the other faction? Oh wait, you play Empire. Carry on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
