Is it just my server???

[Smokestone]

I have been PVPing on my commando pretty regularly for awhile because i want to lvl up a bit before i move on to the next world. The problem is I have yet to win a single pvp match.

I have played over 30 for sure but not sure on my exact number of matches. How is this possible? The number of 50s is typicly pretty even on both sides so i dont think that is the issue. Do the empires classes abilities just outmatch that of the republic or is my server just filled with complete newbs on the republic side.

I joined that server because thats the one most of my friends from WOW went to but I will consider leaving if there are more balanced servers out there.

Just bad luck honestly.

I have both done insane amounts of PvP on my Scoundrel and on my Operative. I lose just as much on both sides, which is A LOT. People are generally just bad, lets face it.

Only thing is that on my Operative I do a lot more Huttball due to there being quite a bit more Empire players.
And soon level 50s will have their own bracket, so that hopefully improves the situation a bit for those doing PvP while leveling (Because honestly, level 50s just dominate)

It's just bad luck, I am a level 50 on the empire side of Lol so i spend nearly all my time on swtor farming pvp gear, i've only lost 3 games out of about 17 today. Personally i find it's pretty rare to lose a match and from what i've seen on Lol the republic are facerolled unless they are close to being a pre-made.

One factor might be that most servers have a higher population of Empire players, and thus more level 50's doing PvP.

I'm Republic and so far I've won 4 out of 15~ matches.

This has got to be the most insane logic I have seen as of late, reiterated on these forums like it makes sense.

Just because one side has more people and thus more level 50s, does not mean that they are going to necessarily have a larger percentage of level 50s queuing. Higher population also means more lowbies. Higher population =/= higher % of 50s.

No idea. I'm sith and I've won every single match but one. It feels like cheating. I'm not very good, only level 25, die in 2 hits by a geared 50, yet get to win every match.

to be honest ... i did 12 warzones today to do the daily quest (winning 3 warzones) ... 0 wins.

the problem on republic side is, that there are very few level 50 players at the moment, compared to imperials. So most of the time i have teams with 2 or 3 50s and a whole bunch of low levels with all the negative aspects...

edit:
I'm currently considering rerolling to empire side because of the lack of "competent" players on republic side.
I've tried some hardmode flashpoints - most of the people just bomb into CCs, stand in red fiery shit, can't adopt to boss mechanics after bazillions of wipes etc. etc.
But on the other hand, the republic players are very, very friendly ...

[Smokestone]

So sounds like its not just bad luck but that empire does actually win most matches on other servers aswell. I hope things get better once they make a bracket for the 50s.

You also need to remember that we're still in the free month of play. For many people who are hardcore Star Wars fans, this is their first MMO (and as such they aren't used to objective based team-play PVP).

Wins and losses seem to be fairly even with Empire taking 53 percent of the victories.

Actually 53% is a HUGE difference...
53% wins for empire also means 47% wins for republic. In my book 6% more win ratio can't be called "fairly even".

These are not official numbers of course but if they are true there is a clear imbalance between the two faction.

That's almost as even it can get without having a perfect balance. What do you want, an exact 50/50? Lol.

I was doing good until I hit 50. I'd probably win 75% of them while leveling. As soon as I hit 50 though and actually need wins to do my daily, I can't seem to do it. Played 15 warzones in the past few days... lost them all

This might sound strange, but if you'd like to win more frequently, play better.

Except yes, higher population would mean more 50s. You can easily roll both factions on the same server and see the difference in numbers. They are usually 2:1 Empire, even at 50 on most if not all PVP servers.

I'm not arguing that higher population doesn't mean more 50s, because it does. I'm arguing that higher population does not directly correlate a higher percentage of 50s. Higher population also means many more lowbies, meaning the percentage of max level people queuing against lowbies should roughly be the same.

[Dezerte]

It's likely that a level 50 spends more time PvP'ing than a lowbie does.

Also the 53% winrate is the overall of all servers, there probably are servers with less fair ratios than that.

I've lost tons of games to republic as empire on Nadd's Sarcophagus. There seem to be lots of republic premades on the server.

Well i think he has a going point, BUT for dif reasons

Think about it if empire is 2-1server wise they will get gar more huttball. This in turn gets rhem to 50 FASTER due to lvling in pvp

ALSO as a result they will grab more comms than the republic which in turn gives them a greater advantage in pvp in almost any lvl bracket

So yea to a degree empire does ba a greater advantage of hitting 50 tham republic and along the way have access to greate gear
