Liriana Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) I am enjoying the game, and I have fun PVPing with my friends. Maybe the shadowlands server is different than yours, we have solid players on both sides Empire and Republic. We usually have action going on in Ilumn 2-3 times a day(5pm-midinight) with the republic outnumbering the empire occasionally or close enough to push us. GW2 is a PVPer's wetdream really? it is an all instanced game how are true PVPers who always cry about open world PVP going to like that? Some interesting stuff to it, but not enough to make me leave here. GW2 will have a ton of bugs and prolly more with the 3xserver-vs-server fucntionality. I have always felt that a game needed a good 4-7 months to fully balance itself out PVP and PVE wise. There will always be teaks needed, but it's not like WoW was ever balanced for PVP, people jsut re-rolled the most powerfull class for patches.

_Zorth_ Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Sorry, I don't cancel subs for games because I can't win every single match.. Never liked PvP in MMO's anyway, If I wanna kill people I go play CoD. If I wanna feel like I really accomplished something big I play MMO's and raid..

SeloDaoC Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I think this game will loose a heck of alot of players once TERA, Diablo 3 and GW2 is out. I think it can drop as low as 500k subs or even lower. SWToR is basicly AoC, lootsa things said then removed before release, overhyped, ignoring community, and no endgame. Heck even my PvE friends are bored and only loggs in to do an ops a couple of times a week. Most of them have bought Kingdoms of Amalur to have something to play, or are finishing up Skyrim. Me and a friend are trying TERA, and other friends are thinking of trying it aswell. Its not the best mmo ever, but SWToR are so boring, atleast well get something to play together. I only logg on to do my daily pvp quests and then logg of. Currently playing through Mass Effect 2 in NM mode for Mass Effect 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ergecrs Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I actually considered myself a PVER untill this game came out. I love the pvp in it. The objectives in the warzones are fun I enjoy healing my teammates and helping control items that need to be done. I play on average of 5 hours per day about 3 of which I am pvping. I think they did an excellent job with this game. But hey oppionions are like a** holes every one has one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcfree Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Enjoying Ilum and the warzones with my guild. We have a very competative server so the action is generally non-stop. Great game and I really enjoy the pvp, can't wait for the new warzone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeloDaoC Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 ArenaNet fires a warning shot over Bioware's bow; how will they respond? The more i read about the open pvp system, the more it warms an old daoc players heart. They must have some old really good DaoC player that understands how good that pvp system was.

They must have some old really good DaoC player that understands how good that pvp system was. ArenaNets 2 lead Dev's were ex Mythic employes. Mythic created DAoC. Their WvW is being done by these 2 Dev's. The whole Arenanet team speaks HUGE of DAoC and are old players as well. There is a reason that the WvWvW system looks like old DAoC.

Yeah clearly GW2 got devs that worked on DaoC and SWTOR got the Warhammer crew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velsix Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 There are other things in this game besides PvP.. Yeah? Like load screens and hilariously buggy pve content? Rift is free for the first 20 levels right now, only reason I log in day to day is the time left on my game card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LastSurvivor Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Why am I still here? Because I've put untold hours into my lvl 50 toon and am holding out hope that it will get better. Also, theres not much else to play atm. The pvp is enjoyable if it's a competitive game... getting rolled (either way) is no fun imo. There's nothing like a close game of huttball, golden stuff. I do wish there was less cc in pvp, or at least a resolve bar that works on snares/roots and fills up faster. As it is now, pvp is enjoyable, but still needs a bit of work. Also get rid of the need for rng to get BM gear and go the same route you went with champ bags, bioware. Make BM gear cost BM comms, give BM comms with each BM bag with a chance for a BM token... just like champ bags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are pver's even reading the pvp forums? Go back to your pve cave and raid for 8 hrs. PvP on this game is a joke, anyone who has played a decent pvp game would admit to this. I have pvped since 1997 Ultima Online - SWTOR, played around 10 other mmos in between. The only thing great about this game is lvling the toon to 50, then everything dies out. Illum is NOT pvp, its an easter egg hunt with a mixed zergfest. Warzones are map abuse + get your premade ready or prepare to lose. I really regret paying for one extra month on this game. PvP is not skill based at all, you dont even have to move, just spam your buttons and it will point you at your target so you can hit him. . . I was really hyped about this game, but the fact that the only positive posts about pvp, comes from people like this pver, shows you how much of a joke pvp is on this game. Sorry Bioware fanboys, pvp here is garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chronosxx Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 (edited) I canceled but have a few months left, since I paid 6 month sub What is your excuse? Hopefully the game is fixed in that time. I just recently started pvp myself and it is rather imbalanced and doesn't seem to require much skill.

Krondorf Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I'm still here because this is the last day of me account being active. Tomorrow I'll disappear like the last 61 pages of this thread, just lost in the pages of time. This game is great while leveling, but pvp is just too weak overall.

alczz Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 playing 2 chars every day just because i have the time and the game is fun, i ll play gw2 when it comes out and quit 1 char just because i can, is there some problem with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't be surprised if GW2 doesn't fail miserably after people discover its pvp is a lagfest and not quite "the next DAOC" as they forced themselves to believe. lulz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go back to your pve cave and raid for 8 hrs. I have a better question, you obviously hate the game so why are YOU still here? I'm pretty sure I'm more experienced and quite honestly BETTER at pvp than most of the people on this forum. And guess what? I enjoy the game. PVP isn't great but I think they can work out the problems and I"m going to give it time to see if they do. I won't be jumping ship to GW2 because I already know that game will suck. They are focusing entirely on massive pvp combat and tech simply hasn't reached the point where that won't result in a massive lagfest. Even DAOC had massive lag at times and it wasn't quite as ambitious with its ideas. They are dooming GW2 before its even released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone obviously doesn't know anything about GW2. Anyway, I haven't touched this game in ages. Playing ME2 now (and ME3 multiplayer), a true high quality BioWare game. Though, I'll give it to BioWare... SW:TOR's story was pretty high up there in terms of quality. But GW2 is going to be more successful than SW:TOR and TERA. It's a given. It's also clearly the better game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
