Befall Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I must say the majority of people did not buy this game to fight their own faction in PvP. This practice is becoming a turn off for many people If your Republic you expect to fight Imperial and by the same token Imperials expect to fight Republic. Trying to keep this thread rated PG as I would like to really lay it out, but I will maintain a civil discord . If you want to fix this problem the solution is simple, all servers Queue up to the same PvP WZ's you would have 100's of people queued with plenty of Rep / Imp players to maintain a proper PvP match with apposing factions fighting. I for one will not play much longer if the same faction fighting continues, as this is not what I bought the game for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VoidJustice Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 (edited) Faction imbalance is the one last true impediment to this games rise to legendary status. Unfortunately, the majority of the player base is Imperial and in our day and age MAJORITY WANT EZEMODE MAJORITY GET EZEMODE. I will defend the republic to my last breath, as I am a Jedi Knight but there are few of us and the darkness... it grows ever nearer.

islander Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 (edited) LMAO. Majority of people are bothered by this? Trust me, they'd be WAY more bothered by longer queues. I don't know if Kinrath Spider would ever queue for a warzone. Maybe twice a night. News flash: This game is 2/3 Imperial populated. Bioware can't do a damn thing about it.

Karkais Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Maybe you made your decision based on wrong premises? Jedi vs Sith is one of the most obvious factions for faction warfare ever. The classes are mirrored, whats the problem? This game is not just PVP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Befall Posted April 20, 2012 Author Share Posted April 20, 2012 Well you are in the wrong place to say that, this is the PvP forum. Go to the care bear forums to talk about pve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islander Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Stop I q evernight... when Im not taking care of buisness or family also pub numbers are up on Kinrath. What does the fleet look like these days? I know it should be higher this week. Empire was in the 50-75 range but this week has spiked up about 20-30%. We actually hit standard now some nights, by 10pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khoraji Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Faction vs Faction is only a problem for Roleplayers. Which make up a very small portion of the games population. I kind of like fighting my own faction actually, makes for easier trash talk in fleet afterwards. Cross-server PvP won't do much to fix this as pretty much every single server has way more imps than republics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VoidJustice Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 (edited) Were around 28ish, so not so bad. Lots of everyone on tat now adays so the estimatin is harder. Come get me! Im gettin me coins up and once I have a Rakghoul pet the Empires days are NUMBERED! Well maybe deep down Im a geeky RP'er but hey! This is Star Wars!!! My inner 5 year old cries everytime I have to kill a fellow Pub, although it is fun to fight guildmates and friends.

KiranK Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 This is only a problem because Bioware won't lift a finger to fix faction imbalances. They'd just as soon let the game die, which might actually happen at this rate. The whole "we closely monitor faction balance" means either they stare and watch without acting or are outright lying to us(both of which are equally plausible). This is what leads to the obnoxious amounts of same faction WZs we see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you want them to do? Force people to roll republic? And your solution is what? Let the problem sit there and fester? Oh yes, that's a vast improvement. Let's start with experience, commendation, and credit bonuses for the underpopulated faction the server. That'll balance lack of groups and PvP gear disparities out. Next you can add faction transfers, free for players going from the overpopulated to the underpopulated. There now, was that so hard? Apparently for Bioware it is.

What do you want them to do? Force people to roll republic? Incentives. Increased XP gain, Comms and Valor for Republic, for example. Let people who want to switch factions get a new L50 in decent gear more quickly than rolling an alt on the same side will get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make Rep class quests as engaging as Imp class quests, instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
