The legend remains... NiteRunner rawks at person vs. person gaming when she's fortified...

Fortified with BOOZE!!!

Care bear game, true PVP makes people cry and quit. Structured PVP has its place but can't compare to a gank fest with item and money loot enabled. Good job though

lol true. I just killed 4 sith players yesterday with pvp flag "on" in alderaan. It sucks to know you don't get anything for that.

and nite... your server is sooo empty in comparison to the harbinger. In my old server there would around 100 people in alderaan and not 14 like in beregen.

I was talking about WARZONES!!!! 2 rounds of Ancient hypergate, 1 round of Novare Coast, and Voidstar.

[CommanderOtto]

yeah but he has a point. PVP in swtor, (doesn't er if on a planet or on a warzone) is not as fun if you can't get some player loot (like... actually take his armor and money).

actually I have to disagree Otto, PVP can be quite fun in Wz's if you have team who work together. Valor rank increases and title, credits at the end of the match, number of kills scored increases, medals, damage inflicted, protection and healing given, kills in that match, MVP's, Warzone and ranked comms plus the satisfaction of knowing you contributed. I can purchase high PVP gear which I then augment for my character: Strength, endurance, Willpower etc which I can use in PVE.

PVP dings a lot on the Red Eclipse be that low level or 55 which is good considering this is a PVE server. If I wanted total PVP then it's likely I would transfer my character to a PVP server or simply start afresh.

At the moment on this PVE server I have my Sith Sorc, Sage, Consular, Vanguard, Scounderal all hitting the lvl 55 PVP. I am currently focusing on Sorc, Sage and Consular. Damage and healing is immense from the Sage and Sorc whilst the Consular is a jack-of-all-trades and can be very annoying for the imps due to stealth (cloak) ability and is DPS burst spec'd.

It depends on who you are, what server u are on and what you want to get out of PVP. When the space PVP hits that'll be another element, similar to BF2 I suspect and it's not that far off from appearing. Arena's are the next PVP thing to be introduced with patch 2.4 plus new weapons, armour etc.

Clearly it's not going to be as fluid as a FPS but that's the trade of with SWTOR PVP but there are other MMO's coming out that are making their PVP element very FPS orientated.

This person is on one of the US servers but demonstrates the fluidity of PVP very well for a Shadow and Assassin:



This player is very good and it tempts me to transfer to a US server, then the thought of lag creeps in which would impact my game play.

create a character in the harbinger and test to check the lag levels. If it works well then you should go there.... TONS of people in that server.
