Izariel Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) I know you have experience with this sort of issue. It was the same with WAR as well. I liked your solution in that game. TO the smaller faction on each server 1. More XP 2. More Valor 3. More pvp commendations 4. More money for missions/objectives IF you gave these rewards proportionally on server balance it could go a long way toward alleviating our problems. Its a simple fix, and it doesnt effect gameplay. DO IT. Edited January 20, 2012 by Izariel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratham Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) This is against all odds from WAR. It doesn't work. If you're talking about Wpvp kills that is* Overall, then it might actually get some rerolls. Edited January 20, 2012 by Ratham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RevTech Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 And a bolster effect for the weaker side in Illum. This is getting ridiculous, there's 150 of them to 25 of us on illum on my server. (prophecy of the five) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabbathius Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Do SOMETHING! ANYTHING! Anything you do, no matter how awful, can't possibly be worse than what is happening right now - Republic either quitting or switching Empire en masse. Give it another 3-4 weeks before you get moving and you'll have no game left, it'll be wall-to-wall Huttball, even more than there is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izariel Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 This is not against all odds. This is the faction xp bonus that you saw from the server screen where if your faciton is outnumbered you get the bonus and it shows up when you select the server.

Silvaro Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Sorry, but not much can be done about faction imbalance. You can't force people to play the faction that is low on a server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessicayla Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Sorry, but not much can be done about faction imbalance. You can't force people to play the faction that is low on a server. That's why it's not forcing anyone. It's a pretty good incentive and it's not forcing anyone to do anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckmann Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) An XP bonus to Republic, except possibly to Legacy, is the one thing that would ensure that I would never ever roll Republic. Leveling is already much, much too easy in SWTOR. I outlevel planets and get Bonus Series' missions the minute I land by the dozen. It is not an experience I would like to repeat with a vengeance. More Valor and PvP commendations would only appeal to the rabid PvP crowd, and wouldn't really solve any of the issues of being the underdog faction, such as empty zones or difficulties getting people for heroics or flashpoints.

Phanatik Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I would at least like to see Republic - Empire and then list if each side is Low,Med,High population when you logon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mSum Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 OP's ideas are terrible. You don't want an imbalance in the game. Warrior vs Knight should be equal in every way. Even more credits would skew this. It's a bad idea. The solution is some sort of monetary reward for your account. Like if you play more hours in a month as republic, you get a $2 credit towards your next months sub. BioWare will loose a lot more money if this problem isn't fixed, so I think it's worth the financial hit to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
