Stridar Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 We all know the only people who are crying about the game aren't in there, just spamming on the forums. While the rest of us are too busy happily enjoying the game to post on here. Thought I'd take a short break and clear up something. A lot of people have been butt hurt over the changes in Ilum. YES, I've seen the video. I was pretty nervous to go there.. Once I got there, I had no problem. I played Ilum all week and never once got severely out numbered. We had a couple of times when our 24m ops got killed, but we just regrouped and came back. Honestly, don't see reason for the mass QQ. Maybe I'm on the only server where the other faction is completely stupid, but I doubt that. - Republic PvP player.
alement Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 I saw 3 Republics out there yesterday, and I played all day. Ended up just gathering armaments to complete the Daily, and stayed out there to queue up for Warzones (valor buff). 3. And we're on a very balanced server where the Republic can usually go toe to toe with the Imps.
AlistairC Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 Ive spent about 3 hours trying to get 30 Armaments since we are outnumbered 3/4:1. Ops rarly get going because it feels like a waste of time and quite frankly it is. You know what my defense against the 3-6 people jumping me now is? Trying to guilt speech em/jedi mind trick them.
Grewvin Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) On my server, it is early in day but atm we only have 6 people on illum while the imps have around 30-40 as far as I can see. It takes hours on end to complete just a daily.. I've been qued for warzones since 9:45am this morning and not a single pop. Even during happy hour were lucky to get a full group in a warzone, usually left w 6 people and not a full team. Its just depressing. We seriously need more republic players on my server. The most people at one time on the fleet is 100-110. Usually around 10pm at night. I really hope they find a way to balance things out for my server a bit more cause its really a pain. I almost want to just roll an imp until they figure that one out or combine servers for cross realm pvp worlds and warzones. Its tuff as nails for us republics to get our gear. Seriously I dont know what to do. I dont feel like taking alllll day to complete some dailys. But thats just my server I guess. The Twin Spears.. Edited January 23, 2012 by Grewvin
potroast Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) Have had 2 raids of 12-30 people fighting Imp groups as big or bigger every night since Friday. Good times. Cap all the nodes to get valor buffs, fight imps. Rinse. Repeat. Edited January 23, 2012 by potroast

ComeAndSee Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) Ilum on my server is a seesaw. One faction will outnumber the other, roll them over, and then the losers leave. The winners will leave shortly after because of boredom. The mass PvP is fun, but it sure lags like hell on my rig. (i5 @ 4ghz, 8gb of RAM, HD 6850, 3 HD raid). The winners will rule Ilum for an hour until the tables turn and rinse and repeat all day long. I want non-stop mass PvP action. Nobody likes being roflpwned so you'll get maybe 2-3 mass PvP battles before people leave. So its like 30 minutes of fun, 2 hours of boredom. 1v1's are rare on Ilum, 12v2's are common for both sides.

Nicain Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 I had a blast Sunday morning. We were actually out numbered by Pubs for a while. There are always spikes in pops, and if you press them back to their base of course they are going to leave and come back later. I wouldn't stay logged in if I was trapped in side my base either.
Tycoon Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 I hate it when people say "Well on my server" No one gives a **** about your server. You might have a balanced server. However, its clear there are servers where reps are clearly outnumber usually 3 to 1, even 5 to 1. Those people have valid points, and something needs to be done about it. Bioware isnt going to kill swtor, blind fanboyism is.

Yeah I get a small 2s spike when we cap a base. Pretty sure it's on their side, other than that not much lag. I totally agree, I would love to see a system with continuous PvP. Another suggestion: Why not open up valor points (less than Ilum or WZ) for all contested planets? That would make leveling valor easier as you level your character and perhaps spread out the PvP away from one zone. Perhaps this would solve the issue of unbalanced servers getting flooded in the 1 world pvp area. But really, I don't know if I lucked out and got one of the only Republic balanced servers, but I've had a blast roaming around Ilum looking for Imps to slay.
