It's such a *********** shame that this game is made on the Hero engine. Holy hell I want to punch a seal because of that decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joesixxpack Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) PS2 was pretty fun. The zerg repetitions got boring though to me after a while. Cap, leave, cap, leave, feint, cap, leave, /cue guitars, etc. In this game 180 players fighting on Voss can crash a server.

Comparing a game that's designed from the ground up to be a PvP focused game to a game that's got PvP as an added extra? Sounds fair. Let's compare the racing in GTA V with the racing in iRacing next, shall we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many pve players can you have questing in one planet instance in this game now before the servers start to melt? 40?50?

I never understood why people seem to think RvR is a good thing. I'm sorry but PvP where the winner is the person that spams the most AoEs is nothing but a sorry excuse for real PvP.

emeraldon Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 A better analogy would be "Expect a lawnmover to perform as well as a ferrari." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry but PvP where the winner is the person that spams the most AoEs is nothing but a sorry excuse for real PvP. In truth, PvP as a sustainable gaming format is highly overrated. MMOs in particular really have no need to waste time and resources towards that gameplay style since it only caters to a very small percentage of the gaming community. Leave PvP to the genre more suited for it - MOBAs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swissbob Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) Yes, Planetside has a lot of people in a single battle. That's kind of what Planetside was designed to do.... Putting 1,158 players in a battle was not what SWTOR was designed to do.... not even close. I don't see how this is relevant to SWTOR at all.... It's like comparing Star Fox to SWTOR based on the quality of their tunnel space content, or Minecraft to SWTOR based on the quality of their home building system, or SWTOR to Planestide based on their amount of voice acting. All great games, but comparing them in any of these ways makes no sense, because your comparing little side activities of one game to one of the main selling points of another.

Sarfux Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 And the point of this is what exactly, smack talking about the game? SWTOR was NEVER designed for PvP from the ground up at all. Stop hoping for 100v100 open world insane fights that work flawlessly at 50 fps while you see Jedi and Sith flipping everywhere, Ships bombarding where you are together with armored vehicle transports dropping off more troops to help either side. It's not going to happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leave PvP to the genre more suited for it - MOBAs. Unless the game is specifically designed around PvP. It all boils down to target audience, and PvPers are not a large target audience of this game.

Zorvan Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 Does it matter? Does more people questing in the same instance make the game "better" somehow? Sure, there's a difference. It's why Planetside 2 is an actual mmo, while SWtOR is a singleplayer game with multiplayer capabilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
