make battlefield actually mean something on the grand scheme of things like the keeps in the frontiers in DAoC
I agree. Also in FFXI you have conquest points which tally who is killing the most npcs for ther side, and the outcome also determines ho high that faction's military presence in an area is. Also rebel medis need to stop running the way they do. Its annoying.

after the jedi revamp publish picture this in a battlefield.
A jedi Architect that can drop houses on Enemies
An image designer jedi that can throw a light saber in all sorts of pretty colors.
A jedi dancer that grooves to lyrical2 and mind buffs ppl, but if you dont tip, she'll kill you.
A smuggler/jedi in rehab program
A new Jedi academy full of dancers and musicians because they are lovers not fighters.
A BH/Jedi that pulls his own name from terminal and is confused.
AChef/Jedi that makes a damn good brandy anytiime on the run.
A Jedi/Smuggler. Just as a BH is about to close in for the kill, the jedi feigns death leaving the BH to post a whine"Why wont he DIE!"
A DE/Jedi.So you can proudly wear the title of having the most UBER gimped profession in the world.

Our PA planned our city with one thing in mind: to be active in the PvP scene. We chose, logically, to place our home near a PvP Battlefield. For several days we scouted every single PvP Battlefield on the buildable planets, and decided on the one in northern Corellia, on the edge of the Agrilat Swamp. It has things the other BFs lacked. Rolling terrain, scenery objects, and best of all a dense fog.
Our plan was not to control the battlefield, to shut out the opposing faction from our cloners and facilities. Our plan was to open up our city for a staging ground for epic battles. And so we wait.
And wait. We've been using the Battlefield lately as a track for our racing league. Well, at least that's still a form of PvP.
If nothing else, please consider returning the BFs to their former state. There was a value to those using them. Unless some major exploit was being used, they at least had a function. While I await the day they have meaning, and affect the lives of players, at least return them to their past glory.
As for the future, much of my hopes are already posted, but I will re-iterate my thoughts:
- Make control of the PvP Battlefields meaningful to the planet. Cheaper shuttle fees, larger mission payouts, reduced fees for cities with factional mayors, improved crafting percentages. The reward should not be too powerful, but should affect most people on the server in some way.
- Make the purpose of the battlefield to control some large base or structure. Similar to factional bases now, but instead of being destroyed, they simply revert control to the winning side.
- Usable once or twice a day, like with factional bases, such that when the BF becomes active, there will be opposing forces ready. People will know when the battles are coming. Or maybe make the BFs active only once a week even, to make the battle that much more important.
- Let the PvP BFs function as PvE BFs during non-battle times. Let them always have some function.

Thuderheart, it's almost been 5 months since you posted this.
Do you think we could get some sort of feedback on what the developers are doing?
