... And yeah I know that you have to do the main game in PvE mainly first, which is fine by me. I loved Warhammer Online PvP, and Im bored to death with WoW's PvP. Is it worth playing SW:TOR for the PvP part of the game?

Absolutely not, imo.

Would be nice with an argument for why not. Is it just boring or? And are you mainly a PvE og PvP player yourself?

it's basically just like wow's pvp. only less fluid and more buggy.

Arent all MMOs that? From what Ive heard it sounds more like Warhammer Online, with ranks and commendations.

People have their own opinions about TOR pvp. It's pretty decent, but theres no reason to do it right now. If you want to seriously try out TOR PvP, it would make more sense to wait for the 1.2 patch next month, when they add rated warzones and new ones.

 

The people who say not to try it are the same ones that complain about TOR in general, mainly because it'snothing like wow's broken system.

Well you could say getting gear and getting to endgame level (50) before next patch anyways would be a good thing that adds rated warzones? Rated Warzones, do you need friends or a guild, or how do you join them? Why do you think wow is broken compared to this? I am an old WoW player, so I would love to know so I might get more caught with SWTOR: Well its either this or Rift Im planning on playing now. Only complaint Im having from seeing sith assasins in pvp is that it looks like you just want to spam whats not on CD....

I know I may get some flak for posting this, but if you want to play an MMORPG for it's PvP then I suggest you wait for Guild Wars 2. They seem to be the only devs that get it. Also it actually has some e-sport potential. SW:TOR's PvP is just riddled with issues at the moment, like being unplayable for some high-spec PCs.

there are ranks and commendations, it works pretty much  like the honor/valor system in wow.  do warzones(bg's) to get commendations and spend them on gear. you get an xp type bar that fills up over time allowing you to buy better gear sets.

Why is it less fluid and more buggy than wow, in your opinion?

just the overall feeling of the combat did not appeal to me.  it didnt feel smoothe.  i dont know if it was a lack of sound fx for the spells or what. something about it just didn't feel like i think combat should.  there are some bugs, abilitys not going off when pressed, the resolve bar not working properly, i havent logged in and played for maybe a month or so, they could have been fixed im not sure.  also when a lot of people are on screen at once,  there would be lag spikes, and characters jumping all over the screen. could just be my pc, but if you look at the swtor forums a lot of people are having issues.

I want a 3 faction template to start cropping up!!

Bored with Good vs Evil.. 

Wait for Guild Wars 2.  TOR is hemorrhaging players, despite what the panicked acolytes are saying in damage control mode.

In GW2 you'll have server vs. server vs. server world PvP and structured PvP. And because ArenaNet's making it, you aren't getting a game that's made purely for the cash-grab from nerds.

AFAIK, SWTOR had 2 mio at launch, and only lost 300k after first month. Thats less than Rift. And that as much as WoW lost last Q. I hated GW1. GW2 looks promising. But theres a while till GW2 arrives.

If youve played GW2's pvp at any convention, you wouldnt be singing its praises again.

Youve never played an arenanet game have you. They are good with PvE, but terrible when it comes down to pvp. And no cash grab? You do realise that it is going to be mainly RMT based right? Just like the original was.

Imho 3 factions is same crap as 2 factions. I'd prefer open pvp with a flagging system like L2.

Funny I played gw2 at gamescon and e3, and i'm singing it's praises all day long.  Best fun I've had in a long time.  Only thing that compares IMO is DAOC in it's hayday and the first few battlegrounds in warhammer (before the mid/end game horribleness)

I have no idea what dillusions you were under when playing then. The combat felt like oblivion and skyrim. That is, pretty damn terrible. 

 

I'm not saying it wont change by launch, but from what theyve shown so far, it wont be the amazing game the fanbois are making it out to be. The ONLY thing that stands out are there arent really any quests in the normal sense.
