Explosive_Lasers Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) It's true. I've played on a few realms, both sides. The skilled players choose Republic in most cases. Republic is quality over quantity, Imperial is quantity over quality. In WoW, Alliance outnumbered the Horde 5:1 on my server, and the Horde players were generally much better. The Alliance used sheer numbers to capture Wintergrasp constantly, until the Horde organized and toppled the 6:1 odds easily. The point is, general rules NEVER apply, and are broken all the time. Stereotypes just don't work. Edited February 3, 2012 by Explosive_Lasers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cortechs Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Yes it's personal preference. But come on, once you get the smuggler's ship the storyline plummets. For me, the IA story was excellent. And the trooper? I was bored with it from the start. Not at all invested in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordBerenger Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Gave away the fact of a troll post in the first line. Sorry but being the Sith's personal b*tches isn't exactly a good storyline. Nor is that ''pedo'' male voice for IA either. Granted Female is okay but Male. You better be shi**ing me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But go ahead and limit yourself to not playing what's possibly the best class story in the game because of some self serving animosity toward the opposite faction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silkforcalde Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 In WoW, Alliance outnumbered the Horde 5:1 on my server, and the Horde players were generally much better. The Alliance used sheer numbers to capture Wintergrasp constantly, until the Horde organized and toppled the 6:1 odds easily. The point is, general rules NEVER apply, and are broken all the time. Stereotypes just don't work. How is that the point? In WoW, Horde was typically seen as the underdog faction with more hardcore players. Still seems largely true today. I know a lot of people seem to believe that there are more Horde players in WoW than Alliance players, but that's factually incorrect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mannic Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) I don't see this phenomenon on my server at all, OP. On my server the vast majority of keyboard-turning clickers are Consulars and Sentinels. It's very enjoyable to watch them attempt to counter my Assassin while being unable to, you know, turn around, and the 3 second delay from the time I interrupt until it registers with them that their skill didn't go off. What I did see on my server is that the Republic had the vast majority of no-lifers who got high expertise gear quickly and, so, briefly dominated Ilum until more Imperials started to match their gear. Once the gear difference was offset, Republic was relegated to the afterthought of a faction they deserve to be.

Soulaufein Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) [quote=Ironmonke;2465079 They're both exactly the same, the only difference between them is appearances, faction, PROJECTILE TRAVEL TIME, ANIMATION SPEED, and story line. Honestly, if sorcerer and operative appear OP, it's because Rep isn't picking Sage and Scoundrel. Fixed that for you. To elaborate, coincidently, Empire "mirrors" are just faster in the two areas in italic in quite a decent number of abilities. Key abilities. Slow responsiveness and animation delay just makes it all the "stutier". Edited February 3, 2012 by Soulaufein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jndca Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Clever. Trying to create the impression that skilled players play Republic, an inversion of the Horde trope from WoW pre-Blood Elves. I don't think it will stick, but good luck. qft. nice try though op. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fidasaind Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Inquisitor - Consular Agent - Smuggler They're both exactly the same, the only difference between them is appearances, faction, and story line. Honestly, if sorcerer and operative appear OP, it's because Rep isn't picking Sage and Scoundrel. Project damages later than the sorc equivalent. Sage KB isn't as far as the inq one. Sorc stun often ignores resolve bar. Agent stun can be used on the move while smugglers have to stand still for the animation. They may be mirrors but the animations nearly always favor the Imp equivalents. They are bugs but they are bugs that still have not been fixed.

LordBerenger Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Voice goes perfectly with a chiss. And you've clearly never actually played through the IA story line before. But go ahead and limit yourself to not playing what's possibly the best class story in the game because of some self serving animosity toward the opposite faction I played to lvl 31 while being in Alderaan. Couldn't stand it anymore. And me hating Imps? I got a lvl 50 Sith Warrior which storyline i enjoyed. Jaesa's voice was incredible. My own character's voice was decent. Baras voice was good etc etc. And even if i would become a Grand Moff / (Insert Prestigeful title) IA are still the Sith's b*tches. Hell even a Sith Lord got more power than a Moff or whatever other title. Seen from a RP-PoV IA are Sith's servants. Oh and once again, that incredibly crappy male voice which does not suit my HUMAN char. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chomag Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Why empire for casuals. More people = higher chances to find groups, which is better for people who play 3 hours/week and don't wanna spam general chat for a group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because we're on a lower social rung does not make us less dangerous enemies. Also, the male Agent voice is awesome and suits the class perfectly (though it's kinda dumb on body types 3 and 4, lol) IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
