Kinda expected some sort of killboard in JTL, with Wing Commander devs on the team. Wonder why they dropped the ball on this one.


Please devs, take a cue from other games, give us bragging rights, stuff to defend/steal/conquer from the other faction that give a general bonus in fighting them or access to special stuff, give us the ability to lock regions from factions and that they'll have to fight their way back in. In short give us a reason to fight them other then the supposed "fun" of it. And please fix the 2-hit kills in space pvp.


P.s.: was meant for both ground as space pvp.

And make prestige points worth something.


At least on the ground I can turn all my contentless grinding into FS exp....

No FS conversion, but I'd like for Prestige points to be tradable for rank in each faction's respective Navy or perhaps maybe Prestige points could be a way to reintroduce the pre-nerf reward items or reasonable facsimiles.

Let us use Prestige to buy the mission rewards from our faction. Saves regrinding the pilot trees to get them again when they've decayed too much.


And try this for PVP interest and bragging rights:

Camelot?

phhhhtt PvP bragging rights in that game was all about who hit the mez/ "I win" button first.
As PvP goes, Planetside is a far better game that Dark Age of Cast-a-lot

Yeah, what this game needs is to be even more unbalanced for PvP. I'm sure everyone would just jump right in to PvP to be slaughtered. /endsarcasm


Navy rank would be an awesome idea. Just like on the ground, it doesn't give you anything though. If we could display the title (on ground and space) for others to see, that would be awesome. And that would be a small, relatively simple change/addition to give master pilots something to aim for.

LoL, awesome, 1 star from a DAOC fanboy. I guess the truth hurt to much

If DAOC is such a great MMORPG, why are you playing SWG?

It wouldn't really be unbalanced...I mean, everyone would have the oppurtunity to save up the prestige and exchange it for the components, eh?

>>I'm just annoyed to see SWG as a game where PVP is meant to be an important part of the content without any incentives to actually go do it.

That i'll agree with completely.

Camelot PvP wise, i didnt like camelots class system. Thing like mez should be, and if you leveled a borked class, you were just a RP cow.

SWG PvP wise, i dont like the HAM/Armor encumberance system combined with buffs and foods like synthsteak. I find it all a big hassle. (probably why i make my Faction points in space, if it wasnt for JTL, i woudlnt be playing SWG at all)

Planetside i think had the best PvP/ realm vs realm / faction vs faction action around, which is why i suggested its PvP score system. Although its an MMOFPS, not an MMORPG.

This is what I mean, much more fun then one-starring and not adding anything constructive. Dialogue


I took a look at your planetside links before posting the DAoC links. I did not post those links to imply DAoC was better, but because I was missing things like Realm War Status on planetside (granted, I didn't look very hard). I'mnot aiming for SWG to turn intoa SF DAoC, Mythic is taking care of that with their MMO currently under development. All I hope for is that the devs read these kind of posts and that it sticks to their minds when they get cranking on the GCW revamp. JTL is done, CU is in testing so I'm slowly starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel. This gamemy begetting close to start running at its full potential. If they just get the GCW revamp right...
