Malckiah Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 I know alot of people say it doesn't this and it doesn't that....yada yada, but I reaaally enjoy the pvp in this game....More than ever since 3.0 hit. I guess they have balanced the classes pretty darn good. I mean ofcourse there are always those 1 or 2 classes that appear to be better, but its pretty awesome right now. I have been able, even at low lvl pvp gear for a level 60, and have huge battles with other players that can last up to 10 minutes without me dying. Not to say that I am awesome, cause I am only good.... but that I dont just run out there and die right away is nice. I actually have time to react to someone attacking me and defend myself... or in my case instantly go on the offensive and hopefully smash them to pieces. lol.... anyway, its just really nice to truly feel like I am battling in a warzone and have a chance to epic..... and in this game I feel pretty epic. Thanks for reading or not..... comments are always appreciated. 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Wicked Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 It has its moments. I for one started to PvP on a far more regular basis, every since Strongholds was released, mostly so I could buy the crates and soldiers, in addition to the flags. I am fully stocked right now on Imperial and Republic soldiers, in addition to Republic and Imperial crates; Halway, concerning the stacked ones. I only wish they'd add some more of value eventually but right now, it doesn't seem terribly likely. Also, Imperials rule when it comes to PvP'ing but Pubs have all the heart.

Deewe Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 PvP is indeed nice but when you hit the lvl cap and get ganked by others well geared players or keep being stun ganked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MotorCityMan Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 I pvp to get pvp gear, but I don't enjoy it. There are still gross problems with class balancing. But even worse is the total lack of matchmaking. The net result is usually a tedious face-roll one way or the other with no excitement, drama, or fun. Sooner or later someone will put some resources into a pvp game and make a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MotorCityMan Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 (edited) LoL is ok, just don't enjoy the graphics and that type of game board video game. Should amend my statement to say good pvp mmo. Edited December 15, 2014 by MotorCityMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It got boring for me due to the repetitiveness and also due to me being a PvE'r at heart, but yes, it is pretty funsies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xakthul Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Why would you want PvP gear if you don't enjoy PvP? Events. People run around the Rak tunnels, flagged like idiots. And of course, there's the Gree, which is almost impossible to run solo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomiSotto Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I love PvP, and I get my behind handed back to me routinely. Still love it. Gonna get through the story and start PvPing again. Kindda looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beranzen Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I think they need to fix the tiers. Being Lvl 30 and getting mauled by Lvl 58 is kinda bad. Perhaps 10-40 in one tier 41-59 in another and the 60s all to themselves. Other than that i love doing the WZs, usually always fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drudenfusz Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 PvP is indeed nice but when you hit the lvl cap and get ganked by others well geared players or keep being stun ganked. You haven't played a long time at level cap PvP? The gear buffs make it quite playable, even with completely crappy gear. Sure, Stun Wars is still somewhat of an issue, but I guess I have learned to live with it. I really would like to see more huttball maps, and then a huttball league, instead of the current quite boring ranked matches which are just arena. Huttball is the main reason I keep playing SWTOR!

NeroTethras Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 (edited) sorc/sage or assassin/shadow as they are op. Mark my words. This. I just hit 60 and the other day so I haven't been able to get my new Expertise set yet, but my deception assassin pretty much destroys everything. Very surprised by the lack of negativity in this thread, last time I saw a PvP thread on this forum is was flamed to death.

DreadtechSavant Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I am the opposite, I hate it. Only reason I play on PvP severs is because I am unwilling to give up 66 character lots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CelCawdro Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 It's very fun for casual play, but not so much for actually getting competitively serious. Thankfully, I fall into the former category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevor_the_Bruce Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I love PVP n this game to. I play it every day I'm on and I find it very enjoyable to do. I like to play my SS Gunslinger/Arsenal Merc and Sage Healer the most in WZ's. I think most of the classes are fun to play, although I've never tried Marauder before, so I'll have to give it a go to see how it is. To me, PVP is the the most challenging and rewarding thing in the game. It feels great when you win because it takes teamwork and skill. I enjoy pve content to, but PVP is my favorite thing in this game to do and will be for a long time to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deewe Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 (edited) You haven't played a long time at level cap PvP? The gear buffs make it quite playable, even with completely crappy gear.

I really would like to see more huttball maps, and then a huttball league, instead of the current quite boring ranked matches which are just arena. Huttball is the main reason I keep playing SWTOR! Exactly what I was saying PvP is fun but would be much more if they fix the current issues. A) Gear has a too big impact on combat at level cap as you have to keep being facerolled until you also have the comms to buy gear and the creds to aug it. I.e.: you have to bend over for some time until you are now able to play. Then when you are the one geared against people not, you are the one ganking them. Personally I don't find this fun on whatever side of the ganking you are B) STUN WARS. As you're saying you get used to it. It does not mean it's fun at all. I don't get how you could design a game in which too much of the game play is to remove the mouse and keyboard from the player and have them sit and watch their character being killed. C) Hutball.... I love that game and do think they should made and eSport out of this. Althbough it brings us to a big issue: you can't queue to the WZ you like. Of should I say you are "forced" to queue for content you don't like. For example there are some very specific scenarios that I /quit immediately after landing in them. BioWare makes me srcew others and piss me off, every time. D) No ruleset in WZ and matchmaking not helping. Ranked WZ should have rules, like limiting specific roles/classes. Gear stats should be handled by the server with choice of gear sets: tis about skill isn't it? E) Lack of enough tiers. Boosting stats doesn't leverage PvP some skills you get at higher level do a tremendeous difference. For example I don't count anymore the times I made my team win in Hutball with the sage pull skill only and you get it at 41ish... F) Lack of world PvP... WZ gets boring in the end.
