Wolfing Posted November 14, 2015 Posted November 14, 2015 Hello all, I'm just wondering how are the factions on the server. Are they near equal or does Empire crush Republic in balance?
csant Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Imp's win about 80% of the time. Though late at night that turns into 100% win... how do I know? I just spent the last week leveling a scoundrel and vanguard for my legendary achievement. What I have seen is that Republic players just either don't care or know what they are doing in pvp. They do so many mistakes and at times just don't have any situational awareness. Example: I lure one defender far from the objective and there is a stealther with me. Instead of capping, the smart *** comes out and tries to dps the tank down with me. Even, though I had him far away and CC'd. He could've capped the node easily. We would've won the game too if we had capped. Far too many times I see people try and dps down targets when an easy cc would allow a cap or bomb placement.
DomiSotto Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 (edited) We've had a lot of PvP players transfer over, that shifted the balance very strongly towards the Empire. The Republic is very weak at the moment. However, the only PvP guild that is currently openly recruiting is the Republic one. Personally, if I were new to a server I'd play the side where I can join a PvP guild, because a recruiting PvP guild is only a slightly more rare than a unicorn that ate a nut of a Tree of Life on the day when a full sun eclipse coincided with the one in one thousand years flood in the middle of the desert.

Alwaysthirsty Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 not naming any names but I tried talking to leadership in the top PvP guild on pub and no one responded or seemed remotely interested in recruits. So, I rolled a few toons on Imp side where WZ pops frequently and PvP guilds exist.
JediMasterSarynn Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Factions are severely imbalanced at the moment. Heavily favoring Empire. There are not many Republic PVP guilds, maybe a handful? Even worse, there are not very many PvE/PvP guilds (like mine) either. So what I end up seeing are lots of solo queuing, rare text communication, and obviously due to solo queuing close to non-existent voice communication. Then yes, you have lots of people with low valor and limited-to-no PVP gear. I assume these are the companion people. It's not a great situation for sure, but when you see people talk about "I'm just going on my Empire guy to PVP" or "I'm going to roll an Empire toon to PVP", it doesn't make the situation any better.

Its a sad reality, but I dont like spending my free time sitting on the pub fleet waiting for que's to pop.

Not sure what time you play, but I PVP every night for 2+ hours during prime time PST on the Republic side. I never have to wait more than 2-4 minutes for a queue to pop. Many times it's under a minute. It's actually somewhat annoying, as I'm usually trying to get dailies/weeklies done at the same time and can't.
