Karandor Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Novare Coast is by far the best WZ IMO. Huttball is still awesome but VS and Civil War are very bland in comparison. Everyone else liking it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faeldawn Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Im not a fan. Thought i'd really enjoy it as i love Alderran but it's just such a terrible chokepoint map which favours AoE classes and the los issues make it impossible for a healer to do anything but stand outside the hut or inside the hut. Either way, you get slaughtered. Away from the capture points there is some nice areas for 1v1, but as a team game it blows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xerain Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 i thought it was fun and a lot more action packed which was nice. The southern node is like always constant fighting i can't wait till a few decent strats come out that make all of them worth fighting for. Also i really like the SIZE of this warzone it's not all small and cramped like the other warzones seem to be. TY for this Bioware. Next a Two Flag CTF with a big lay out please.

Stratoszier Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Idk, I qued, got in 8 wz's and got into the new one once. Team was already losing horribly, got ganked, and got a bunch of 0's for my time. So yeah, it was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VainEldritch Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Well, I guess it's ok and it allows for some spectacular comebacks... ... but hearing "Shields are down, the enemy is damaging our bunker." every few seconds on loop drives me mad. STOP THE SPAM - it's as annoying as that dratted droid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numerii Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I'm just hoping this leads to a "Huttball with a different map" and "Voidstar with a different map". I really never understood why Blizzard didn't do this type of approach to PvP. It works very well in FPS games and doesn't require you to think up a whole new style of PvP...just provide some different maps for the styles you currently offer. Breaks up the monotony. As far as Novare Coast goes, I like it a bit better than Civil War, but only because it's easier to see where the enemy is going. At any point on the map, I can call out incomings instead of hoping that the guys guarding mid or the opposite side turret are smart/aware enough to do so.

kuey Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 It's a great addition to PvP, really like it despite it inheriting the luck factor from Voidstar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PvP'ing without music puts me to sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iKlone Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 It is very nice, a little chaotic at times and I haven't personally seen or realized an OP strat which Civil War was so good at. Nice to not have Impball all night long as well, since VS and Novare are same faction capable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComeAndSee Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) I wish they would use the capture mechanic in the new WZ in Voidstar. Also, I've been seeing premades do a zerg strategy. Capture the two northern points, leave 1 person behind, and just zerg 7 people back and forth. Edited April 13, 2012 by ComeAndSee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardonaLJ Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 what I like to do is take the eastern turret and then hide behind he ac unit looking thing to the side of the bunker. most of the time the enemy doesnt see me and normally its only one.

Leonhart Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I love the New Warzone. Huttball still my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mishcleo Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I disagree, this new WZ is boring. Way too simple. Points are way too close. There is nothing to it really, like it was made in a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HBninjaX Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I agree, it's rad. I like the terrain, the way you cap nodes, and the fact taht you can do same faction 'combat simulations' is nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V-Serp Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 So far I haven't found any shortcuts or anything. It seems to just be open space and then the turret stations. If you try taking a shortcut at the top you're told you're in a minefield and die. There are some powerups but they're so far away from the stations where all the fighting is that there's no real point to grabbing most of them most of the time. The general strat seems to be cap the closer E/W one for your side and then hit S with a decent force while you check the other one. Since there is a tug of war mechanic if you just zerg around the entire time when you have at least 2 you'll generally catch the opponents and be able to farm them. They have two exit points but you can see both of those exits at once and cut them off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izola Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Huttball is the G.O.A.T. (Greatest of all time) But this is a very well put together WZ. I like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobings Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Novare Coast is by far the best WZ IMO. Huttball is still awesome but VS and Civil War are very bland in comparison. Everyone else liking it? I agree, I got to play a couple games last night and I had a blast. I still like huttball more, but I definitely like the atmosphere of this warzone a lot more. This WZ feels like how civil war should have been executed. Much more balanced and the capture points switch control more often because of no instant respawns. Well done to BW, imo.

cycao Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Yeah I was loving the new warzone last night. I was like 5-1 last night when running a premade we had lots of fun. It is like civil war but it is easier to get around which I like. It requires more team work I think which is nice. I mean in reality any new warzone is going to have a feel of voidstar or civil war. Take down this or control that. Huttball was different which is nice and I still have fun with it but you can win this with a good 4 man premade with ease.

TheNotorius Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) It's a lot better than Civil War. Also, since you need to channel to capture the spot, if you are hit the last 0.5 seconds, you don't have to start it again, but from where you were interrupted. And if there are more people, you can control it quicker, I like this mechanic. Edited April 13, 2012 by TheNotorius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riogha Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) It's really the greatest addition in this 1.2 patch. Don't care about legacy and all that stuff. Give PvP'ers diversity, and we will love you Bioware. Keep up the good job ! Heh, diversity my ***, its alderaan war with a sea front, the turrets are too close to eachother, and quickly become dominated, spawn points are too close to the capture points and quickly become camped.Nice try but 5/10 for effort and imagination.

Nicain Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I enjoy it. Its a better thought out warzone which allows you to PVp without losing all progress. The fact you can chip away at the objective, break way and pvp then jump back on it and continue from there is a nice feature. Having to set up 8 second of uninterrupted time isn't a good mechanic imo. More WZ's like this would make the experience fun again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uchoo Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 If you played a healer in a pvp game anywhere, this should be very familiar to you. Novare Coast is a ton of fun, and feels much more like Warhammer, WoW and GW pvp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
