Vorthaine Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 as wow player I really enjoy invading other faciton cities and killing the faction leader, it's actually encouraged in wow and you can get a cool mount if you kill all of them. Why can't we invade in swtor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why can't we invade in swtor? Because at each city there are some level 55 defenders who will destroy you in 1 and a half second Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why can't we invade in swtor? Ehm, did you not read about the Commanders already? http://dulfy.net/2014/08/12/swtor-conquest-commanders-locations-guide/ Not exactly faction leaders, but it comes pretty close to what you are describing, my guild has been doing it ever since 2.9 came out.

Why can't we invade in swtor? We don't have faction leaders in our cities. They're usually in mission instances. So you can't walk up and kill them. Invasions like you suggest would also raise your PvP flag is you survive for the ten seconds it takes to flag you. And honestly, even as a 55, a person still gets killed pretty fast by the NPCs. And why invade the other faction's city when you're busy on quest missions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kantaso Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I bet you the next question is can you make the NPCs defending the cities low HP so we can kill them? They are very hard, we need easy targets (WoW mentality) (sarcasm pure and unadulterated intended) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotharofxev Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Ummm, As a Jedi Knight you get to kill (or at least capture) the Emperor. As an Imp player you get to weaken the Empire and defeat Malgus. OTOH you get to take crap from Shatele Shan and be snarky to the Republic Chancellor. So there's that.

Drudenfusz Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Because at each city there are some level 55 defenders who will destroy you in 1 and a half second You are aware that even before patch 2.9 the game had already achievements for trashing those level 55 champions and that it was not that hard for an operation size group? Ehm, did you not read about the Commanders already? http://dulfy.net/2014/08/12/swtor-conquest-commanders-locations-guide/ Not exactly faction leaders, but it comes pretty close to what you are describing, my guild has been doing it ever since 2.9 came out. Sure, I have killed those too, still it is not the same as invading the opposite factions main hub (enjoyed that in WoW or in RIFT, and have asked for such an option in SWTOR even since before it was released).

Viperswhip Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 LOL I had in the past trying to sneak into Imperial territory to go across when exploring, I just saw the light and I was a goner... If you take off your gear and exploit cool downs with careful positioning you can get quite far. Even at release with a commando I managed to get the map reveal at least, with a shadow I will try to get some datacrons By cooldowns, I mean, well, the rez here option, you get that 8 or 10 seconds or whatever to get back into a safe position.

JEDI KNIGHT ENDING SPOILERS BELOW !!! You get to kill the Voice of the Emperor, NOT the Emperor himself. Capture is not an option, since it refuses to be captured.
