The pvp community consists of about 5-10% of the players. Go figure.






do the trials, drop urout, keep ur titleand friendly duel ppl in MO like pre cu then






MsNil never said anything that relates to what you say. You seem to be talking about roleplaying, not PvE.


What she said is true though, PvP'rs are the minority.

Nope I would like to achieve a high rank in the FRS without being involved in Spaceport ganking, I would cancel my subscription if it was pvp based only. The majority of people couldnt give a toss about pvp, its overrated anyway. The only PvP that should be in htis game is a Non-jedi GCW, BH vs Jedi and a light vs dark jedi. Keep the FRS out of this please and let people achieve ranks on merit, not on how many BH alts they killed that day.

Eh, I don't know. I guess I'm undecided about what I think the FRS should be. PvP can be fun, but more then often it is not. In the majority of encounters you have, you'll hear cries of exploits, cheating, or even just a bucket load of smack talk. I don't want to see something as important as the FRS based upon something that can be so negative so often.

To me, the FRS should be a test of loyality to the dark or light side, as well as a measurement of your commitment to SWG as a game. PvP IS an aspect of SWG, and it needs to be a part of the FRS, but I really do hope it's not the whole thing.

I'd like to see several paths in the FRS, perhaps one that is built for pvp-centric players and another that is built for pve-centric players. Both are balanced and offer equal opportunity and challenge with the same rate of advancement, but cater to different play styles in the SWG Universe.

Hope it's a homerun. For me personally, the FRS will either add something amazing to my gaming time I spend here, or be an unattractive aspect of the game I don't participate in. I really hope it's the former.

Lol! The main problem is the game is so bug ridden and full of exploits how the feck can you have a fair FRS based on PvP? Not all of us enjoy it anyway, and most of the time its just a gank either way. Bring me some cool quests like the other poster said are time gated and impossible to exploit.

If you enjoy running around around Starports carry on, but thats not my idea of what the FRS should be about.





so your idea of the frs will be to kill some little crappy mobs that you can probly kill in about 5 mins




Who said it had to be all 100%about killing stuff. Some people that play this game didnt come from leet FPS games "Boom Headshot!" but would rather be involved ina storyline thathas more of astarwars feel to it thenjust thetypical MPOG. It's the people who only wanna be leet that ruined the game for the people who do quests.IMHO the questers and explorers make the larger percent of the game. Let those people have there fun because this game would suck without em telling us how to do the quests.

How about pvp ? Just gank people and kill them in less than 5 seconds ?

PvP is one sided. None of the people that actually play their jedi for fun will live. Only the defense stackers with uber sabers will make it. I can care less on how powerful I am, I just want some cool powers. And be able to actually kill the new BH FOTM.

This is not about me. It's about supporting 80-90% of the players instead of a small minority.

She is fairly accurate. PvPers, naturally, all tend to congregate together in-game (since they kind of have to). Any one major battle in Theed, we'll say, is naturally going to give the impression that there are a lot of PvPers, when in fact there are still plenty of people on other planets who are NOT PvPing. Furthermore, PvPers tend to use the forums a lot more than non-PvPers I noticed...most likely in the hopes of getting information on how to improve their game...so that illusion of a PvP "majority" is created again. In my personal experience, I know more people who PvE than those who PvP, and this coming from an ex-nightly PvPer.


As I said above, I would ideally like a PvE quest-based FRS to be combined with some type of PvP one. I don't see why it can't be both. Maybe just make it so that a PvE Jedi can still advance in levels, but someone who is going beyond and fighting in PvP will be more powerful (or whatever they plan on "rewarding" us with).

Oh, btw. We need a pvp server, and give you bunch your own forum where you can whine and argue who's the most powerful.

For 3 years I have tried to find excuses to stay in game but only the expansions offered me what I subscribed for in the first place: A multiplayer Star Wars pve experience with friends around the globe. I found friends but with almost no addition of pve content they dropped out one by one. Now it's my turn.

The new FRS should involve BOTH PVE and PVP, say mostly quest then one quest will tell you to go kill X number of overt/opposite faction Jedi to complete the quest like Darth and Leia gives when you converse with them in Moenia or Theed, and etc. like that.

I want a carebear server, lol. Seriously, I want to get online and play the game with my friends, do quests, theme parks, and high lvl content without having to worry about a BH gank messing up our fun. Force pvp=griefing.

coming from you is abit hypocrit can remember reading a post you posted going on about how people exploited there sabers because they damaged you to much and how good people sabers was.


in otherwords you don't pvp because you don't think you have a good enough saber most likely so decide to try flame the people who do but your flames are funny because most the time they just show you have no clue.

Yup. I meet, chat and play with theese people daily. I would estimate the total pvp players to100 out of several thousands of players on my server. Of theese, it's rare than more than 40 is pvp'ing at the same time... but that's always what I find whenever I land on Kashyyyk starport.


There's a little group of players that often rest outside Theed starport. The people who just hang around are rarely more than 5-10 people.


Pvp players are definitely a small minority. There's alot of pvecontent and very little pvp content in this game.
