RycheMykola Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I don't mind the new objectives, but at least allow the mission to be completed in a group. Now if I got to Ilum I have to fight over a couple boxes with other Imperials and it takes us all 3x as long. Just be able to complete the mission with groups... ^ This. Give the entire group credit for picking up boxes. I simply don't get the daily or weekly from Ilum anymore and don't go there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missywink Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I havent completed the daily since the patch came out. Not enough Republics go to Ilum on our server. Since patch I have spent hours in Ilum and have a grand total of 10 kills. Took a friend 11hrs of constantly been in Ilum to get his 30 kills. Also, 30 kills is all fine and well on a PVP server, but on a PVE server its just plain silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mangrey Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 My guild are all Ex-daoc players and we have a blast on Illum, we like to be outnumbert. Roming around on Illum and kill of straglers and renforcements, for the main Zerg! Try to group up when you pvp and are outnumbert, and think less about you quest and more about having fun. They need to add the damn merc marks to the Open world combat like they prommist, then you might see more balanced open world pvp. We are playing reps btw mang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartes Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 illum is actuli fun now, wel in the more populated servers - constant node swtiches and fighting to hold the middle - this is after the quickfix btw on more populated servers you see half of your OPs group crashing every 15 mins or, best case scenario, fights at Rep base with occasional push to nearest Imp spawn point and back. Not very entertaining IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psysention Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Make ilum pvp zone instanced phase area allow maximum 24 players from each faction this way there won't be 100 imperial zerg vs 24 republic... this way there can be fair fight Atlantic Sith Assassin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainInsano Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Yeah it's a total disaster. Someone should be fired to be honest. They need to put Illum on a long timer with a relatively low player cap that people can que for, just like Wintergrasp in WoW. Offer big valor rewards to make it worth it. Otherwise it's just a desolate wasteland and not worth the time for either side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korrigan Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) Very simple: As a republic player for my main, I simply completely boycott that zone until the side balance problem is fixed.I'm not playing games and doing PvP to give free kills and free loot to the empire zerg outnumbering republic by 3 to 1. I'm playing to have challenging (=balanced) fights. They need to make the Ilum PvP area similar to Wintergrasp and Tol Barad in WoW, with balance enforced and entrance forbidden if one side has too many players.

TotalImmortal Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I dont respect zerg v zerg pvp. I prefer honest 1x1 or 2x2 fight, but all, what BW made now is forcing players to form a groups and looking for smaller/overgeared groups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fix is to add balance to the opposing factions, not lock out 75% of a population. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Scattered_ Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 ^ This. Give the entire group credit for picking up boxes. Yeah, we need to reward players for rolling empire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papichulio Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Do as some of my Empire friends are doing... level up a Republic char till you get a spaceship (preferably a stealth class) and get that char to Illum for some easy killing ! Tadaaa. And who can blame them btw. Before someone shoots me, I only have Republic chars ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thinami Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 If u do it for the group, then it'll be too easy. If u don't it single, then it's too hard. YES! I love reading the fourms! Idk how u guys plan on them having people who are already 50 re-roll faction just for pvp gear. We'll just have to wait and see how they respond. No matter what, we'll still have people on the fourms complaning about it. Perosnally, I like Ilum. Anyway, back to gaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drungus Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I think this is really dependent on which server you play. I myself play on Frostclaw and completing the daily doesn't take more then 30 minutes. During the evenings there's a big group of Republic and Imperial people. We usually fight at the center assault, but depending on who is winning we move either north or south. There's always a few guys trying to take the other control points for the valor buff and when we Imperials control Ilum then we push al the way south to the Republic base and have a massive fight there. It's a lot of fun and the battle moves a lot around the map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternalFinality Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) I have stopped going to Ilum as the last time I did it took 3 hours to get 15 kills. Empire is only in the middle, and few ever venture away. If you approach, the swarm descends upon you like a piece of fresh meat, each ravenous beast desperate for your kill. No chance. So I've decided to just not go there, and not complete the daily anymore. There's no one there on Republic side. Enjoy your circle farm, Empire, because that's all that remains for you to do.

Tharrn Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Friend hit 50 last night and I went to Ilum with him (first time for me after 1.1 as I just couldn't bring myself to go there). At the time we went there were about 220 people in the imperial fleet and 160 in Dromund Kaas - just so no one says we are probably on low-pop PVP server. Ilum on our side had 21 people. In the PvP zone imperial players were announced about every ten seconds with a republic near their base about every minute. We cruised around, picked up a crate each in the centre, where two other players were circling (pointless waste of time... 150? Really?) and were about to leave again when an op invite was posted in the general channel. I wished them good luck finding reps and the answer was: 'There's plenty! We are camping about 5 in their base'. That's when we left Ilum again. I don't blame anyone for not bothering, because it's a total waste of time. At least on our server. Warzones pop plenty even in the 50 bracket, but they are getting old. We want owPvP with a meaning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrimsonFire Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 23 armaments, 7 kills. 2 hours. I could also log in later and base camp for 15 minutes but it's just not my cup of tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewgal Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Ilum is just dead after Bioware stopped the Imperial Gank squads exploiting the zone. Really Bioware just need to scrap the zone and put something entirely new there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golarz Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 yep, make everything for the empire easier please. seriously, why are there any republics at all? might as well make voidstar empire vs empire as well. They should. I'm sick of Hutt Ball. And you know what is most frustrateing. Hutt Ball with republic ! Is it so hard to make other warzones playeable for the same faction. Illum was broken from the begining. I was hopeing that open PvP will be like it was in Warhammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dronepilot Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I wished them good luck finding reps and the answer was: 'There's plenty! We are camping about 5 in their base'. This. That's just too funny. Still avoiding Ilum, still will not go there, Bioware has failed in their mission to make fair PVP game play. Warzone's are just as bad, I am really tired of Huttball finding I am playing against my own faction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
