    Nice to see all useful stuff added to VIP section (even though I have no access to it lol). VIPers should be appreciated.

    Off to see all the new stuff in game!

    Interesting patch indeed.

    I hope it comes off smoothly given no PTR and all that happened to Ilum in the past.

    I had a feeling it would be limited to small groups but I thought at least 8 man teams and not 4.

    Still though, it's got my interests up.

    Aye, was sarcasm. I've not had my coffee and misplaced my sarcasm tags. :P

    It was kind of unreal to see BW do this though.

    I'm just wondering what kind of optimizations they've made to the engine/their server architecture to prevent massive lag. Interesting that they added in FFA PvP to that section of Illum, does the "Standard rules apply" to the other area mean that there is the normal PvP there though? I'm assuming it does, but we can never be too sure with BW -_-

    The FFA is a good way to fix any potential for issues due to any faction imbalances, but at the same time it seems a bit odd to have republic fighting republic and imperials fighting imperials (not just sith mind you, but the actual imperials) in a heavily story driven game.

    Oh well, I'll be lurking the official forums today to see the overblown reactions from people : D

    redit: And dat giant bundle of random packs...do not like your behavior BioWare. Do not like it at all.

  11. #11
    so im sitting here surfing the web and all i hear are splosions of at least 60 crates so far in the last 15 min


    MAN BW truly does have a CASH COW from these damned packs lol guess people have 60 bucks to burn today

    and edge i noticed NO lag at all while in the Ilum PvPV area it was AWESOME plenty of kills both repub and imp alike with no lag.

    the North area is a PvP setup while the South is open PvP 10second flagging... although even in the north you will occasionaly get hit with enemy factions flagged still from the pvp area

    I'm still confused, PvP setup where you occasionally get hit with enemy factions flagged from the PvP area? So the Northern area isn't always on PvP?

    PvP 10 second flagging in the Southern area? What does that even mean? I'm horribly, horribly confused -_-

    lol ok in the southern are you are auto flagged for pvp( the 10second thing) and are attackable by ANYBODY( think outlaws den)

    in the Northern area you still have to deal with being flagged(the 5min outta pvp action thing) and if an imp sees you he can attack you reverse for. The northern area of the map is the main PvE area for the gree event and so BOTH factions will be there grabbing whatever mobs they can get their hands on and killing the occasional flagged player

    I'm not sure why this is so mind blowing then. It sounds like they just put both faction daily objectives in a previously unused portion of the map where PvP was supposed to be before.

    So in reality, it's just forced PvP which is not fun for most people.

    Unless I'm missing something, this is just as underwhelming as it was originally.

    Maybe it's the fact that I play on a PvE server and have never been to Ilum, but I don't understand the 10 second/5 minute thing. What function do they serve? Are you not automatically flagged for PvP or something? I don't know what function those two time "limits" serve.

    Is there some sort of lore justification for the FFA PvP in the southern area? I mean, it's something that I thought would be awesome for a long time in WoW when I rolled with a PvP group (seeing as WoW doesn't really have strong ties to lore), but in a story/lore driven game like SWTOR I, as a passive Star Wars fan with minimal knowledge of the universe, can't figure out what story reasoning there would be for it >.>

    The area is filled with a previously undiscovered gas that causes hallucinations and mass memory wipes. When you enter the zone you think that everyone is a sith/jedi depending on your faction and you fight for your survival. You promptly forget about the gas as soon as you leave, which is why people keep wandering into it.

    No need anymore. They detached the valor requirement from PvP statted gear in the summer. Basically you just need the comms to buy the pieces, the valor stat is purely cosmetic (and used for gaining titles).

    Have at it!!!

    Ahmg it's the Silence! (sorry couldn't resist)

    But honestly, I feel like they did an event or something recently where you could do some faction PvP. Maybe it was one of the places you have to go for a HK part? I mostly just remember people on my server being mad that our own faction was attacking us and stuff. Also being that it's a PvE server it was sort of annoying to have a part that forced you to PvP. I wonder if this thing I am thinking of was a test run of this concept?

    Also I have no idea what the difference between 5 minute/10 second thing is. I would think it would be time to unflag.. but that doesn't really make sense ><

    Oh really? I pretty much never PvP and I had just thought that they only removed the Valor requirement for gear that wasn't top tier. What is Valor required for now?
