Havocis Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I quote this right off BWs news section which can be viewed here"http://www.swtor.com/blog/what%E2%80%99s-next-old-republic "So far very few people have seen, or know much about the stunning Open World PVP on Ilum; when you get to the high levels prepare to be blown away!" Did I miss something, did I take a wrong turn on Ilum or something cause at this point BW is either VERY delusional or I am on the wrong Ilum. A world PvP point to capture with no REAL objective does make me feel a little blown away but more like "I am blown away that this company could think this is good". Am I the only one that is at a loss here as to what I was suppose to be "blown away" by or is BW THAT delusional that they think people will enjoy this already failed attempt at world PvP done years ago by WoW. You cant just throw a point in the middle of no where and say "ok now fight over it". It failed in WoW, its failed in WH and it will fail in this game.

dougan Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 (edited) "trade at mid, bro?" Lol, they're right. Opposite factions cooperating with one another for gear DOES blow me away. Edited January 1, 2012 by dougan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurveyorOfTruth Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Marketing is the sole responsibility of the publisher. So you might want want to rephrase your question as, "Is it just me or is EA delusional?" Judging from their past, the answer is...yes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havocis Posted January 1, 2012 Author Share Posted January 1, 2012 Yeah thats true the head dev from EA thats managing SWTOR is the same guy that was doing it for WH, I guess its really not BWs fault they have to deal with a bad head dev. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeRPWalker Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 You never got ****ed in the *** before by advertisers? I knew from the very beginning that Ilum would be crap - I am hoping for future improvements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, no wonder they gank you. You aren't playing by the rules. As Republic, my sole role in Ilum is to help the Empire out since there aren't enough republic to capture points so that the Imps can do their dailies. We dance and have fun together while I help them out. Yes, there are 14 traveling around together, but on my server, they never gank because they need to complete their dailies. They likely only gank you because you are ganking them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This - the r:e faction population is so skewed that the empire aren't really interested in killing any republic in the ilum battle area (because if they do it takes forever for them to do the daily). The PVE dailies are another matter entirely of course though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draccman Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 It's not really biowares job to put people in the field of battle on illum remember vanilla wow there were no rewards. High warlord gear wasnt a reward? The pvp we had at the END of vanilla was better than the pvp we have now in swtor. We had 3 very different battlegrounds, all of different sizes. We had world pvp in the form of tarren mill vs southshore. No objectives, other than rolling over the opposing town. Of course you did get honor/CP for this. It was fun though, so people participated in it. If you dont remember how awesome SS/TM was, then you clearly didnt play vanilla. Right now in SWTOR we have 1 good warzone.. Alderaan. Voidstar is decent, but stack a few healers and its just a killingfest at the first doors. And I think most of the community can agree that huttball is garbage. I would really like to see some bigger warzones, 8v8 isnt very "heroic" and Bioware seems to be all about heroism. The pvp gearing system is also complete garbage. Vanilla WoW didnt have a perfect system either, it took TIME, but it was about time not luck. You didnt luck your way to rank 14 gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havocis Posted January 1, 2012 Author Share Posted January 1, 2012 Some of you lost the point of this topic. I never said PvP does not happen on Ilum I said there is no POINT for World PvP on Ilum. World PvP can happen anywhere but as for rewarding World PvP its none existent and I am FAR from "blown away". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
