douglaslives Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Yep. That about sums it up, if bioware does not release some sort of arenas or rated warzones then this might as well be a console game . Like any console game once you complete the game so many times, try different classes so many times... then its off to buy some other game. Competitive PvP drives MMO games because everyone wants to beat the other guy, and everyone wants to see how they compare with other players in some sort of ranked tracking system. The game has been out for two months and for pvp we have the best battleground ever Huttball the worst world pvp ever Illum The worst earned title system ever free battlemaster for standing in place I came I saw the game, I played the game , i enjoyed the game but now the replay ability is just not there. I have no desire to lag in illum for no real good reason. Only reason anyone ever did was to get free battlemaster and gear....but what do they need the gear for? oh they need gear so they can get hacked in voidstar, or exploited in civil war..I even saw guys lag exploiting. Introduce rated warzones, introduce a ranked system, introduce an armory, introduce a reason to log on and play. Right now this might as well be a console game. RIFT II = Star Wars the Old Republic why? Cause like Rift they thought people would log in cause it looked cool or was fun while you leveled... then they tell you oh btw no Competitive PvP People in forums said you dont need arenas or rateds in that game too, but the reason guys do the gear treadmill is 100% PvP driven... PvP is the reason people log onto MMO to interact with other players, and what people love to do the most is beat the other guy FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY PLEASE BRING US ARENAS AND RATED WARZONES I want this game to succeed so bad , I do not want to go back to wow full time, I dont like pandas and Pokemon, I like killing Jedi scumbags....

Blurps Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Neither rated WZs nor arenas will have any noticable impact on success or failure of a themepark MMO. By prioritising PvE content and quality of life improvements BW are exactly on the right path from a business standpoint. The handful of competitive PvPers in this game will leave for GW2 anyway, no matter what BW does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronamo Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 You do know that rated warzones are coming in 1.2, which is tentatively slated to be released by the end of the month, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claymaniac Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I think its funny that the OP says this will be just like a console game and GW2 is supposedly the holy grail for all the PvP'ers. Except GW2 is gonna be a console game too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
douglaslives Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 Yeah well Rated Warzones have not been slated they only said Ranked system.... if they are gonna release rated warzones are they gonna give us the 411 on how they will do it? Will they be letting guilds group in full premade teams? Sorry but no one loves swtor more than me, but without some kind of ranking system there is a whole wow community out htere that will just stay where they are at... and raiding my pvp guild is #1 on my server for nightmare modes , that isnt exactly bringing in people either So get off your high horse and join the cause for gettign some ranked pvp in this game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ugig Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 As someone who couldnt stomach WoW long enough to get into this holy grail that ex wow players call rated WZ's, how do they work for those that cue solo all the time? will i be rated on my perfomance or on the teams performance? if its based on team perfomance, wouldnt this effectivly kill casual pvp cueing? I personally cue up PvP for something to do to kill time while waiting on time for my raid, or looking for HM grps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"After getting rolled over and over by guilds like War Machine and all the other Korean guilds, I quit because the game offers no gear advantage and I only get to use 8 skills out of hundreds.

Pawe Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Really, Rated Warzones is all you would need? Doing the same thing over and over and over just so you can say "LOOK MOM I'M NUMBER ONE IN A VEDEO GAME!!!!!11!" is all you would need? Personally, I would rather they give us reasons to PvP aside from grind -> get gear -> repeat. All WoW did was provide a carrot on a stick for people with no lives, got good at it and now everyone copies it. I remember games where they let PvP happen while trying to do other things. It wasn't scripted battles where you knew you were going to fight, it was all open world PvP. "Hey, I'm killing this NPC to get loot. Oh snap another player trying to kill me and get my loot and the NPC's loot". You know what it took to get the best gear? World bosses and epic dungeons were free for all. You could try and kill that mob, but someone might kill you and get it instead. There used to be challenge to getting good gear in games, and danger in PvP. Since WoW, and WoW with lightsabers, that has all gone out the window. Challenge has turned into how much time you can spend grinding the same few things over and over, and danger is hoping not to be killed and having to wait 10 seconds to respawn. I do enjoy this game, but seeing people want ranked warzones and arenas instead of real PvP content is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
