WWE meets SWTOR
PostPosted:Sun Feb 19, 2012 1:44 am
A Republic guild ran a PvP event in Outlaw's Den on my server (Warriors of Shadow, can find a thread even in the main PvP forum) on Friday, so I went there like most people intending to slaughter them.
And then we realized only 10 guys showed up on Empire side while 25 guys from just one Republic guild showed up. So they asked us if we want to duel, and since we're pretty sure those 25 guys will slaughter us instantly we kind of just played along.
So we had some 2v2 and 4v4 against 4 BM geared characters with 4 random guys we pick and then losing quite badly, and quite possibly those 4 guys were getting healed on the side we can't tell. I dueled with the top Shadow on the Republic in a '1on1', although he had:
Trauma Probe (Commando HoT)
HoT from Smuggler
Someone threw a lightsaber in the general direction at me (probably Sentinel)
I ended up losing 0% vs 70%. That guy was never defeated in all his 1on1 since it was really like 1on4. What's funny is that guy was slightly better than me (I usually lose to him in WZ by a slim margin, though he also has better teams), so he would've beaten most people anyway. But it's pretty funny when you hit a melee and realize he had two HoT from two different classes on and he said it was a '1on1'.
There was some healer on the other side who keep on tried to attack me, but I just walked throw his attack back to the stand, since I know if I attacked him all the guys above would instantly jump down to help. Honestly it'd have been better for drmatic effect if I stood there and let him kill me after 3 minutes so people can see how much he sucks. To be fair a healer isn't supposed to be doing DPS, but if you're going to snipe someone maybe you should've picked a better DPS class to do it when there are 24 of your allies around.
There was also another 'duel' between two Republics, a Smuggler versus the same Shadow earlier and it went on for 20 minutes without anyone going below 100% health, and at the end called it quits and praised about how each other was awesome. I'm not sure how you could fail to kill someone after 20 minutes since it's not 2 healer versus each other. If a healer lived that long, even getting an occasional auto attack should've been enough to win.
The only thing was missing was that we didn't have some villian guy come in and start stomping everyone.
Sadly enough that's probably about as interesting as the real PvP in this game right now. As an aside, my server is a typical one where Empire grossly outnumber the Republic. We camp the Republic at their base all day in Ilum, so it's not an issue of population imbalance. It seems like the Republics took every high geared guy they had and want to make some demonstration of force, but instead only 10 bored Imperials showed up and for the most part we just rolled over without putting up any resistance to make the event an even bigger joke than it could have. I mean, if they just gone out and say "It's a trap!" they could've at least got the satisfication of killing the 10 guys who showed up, but for the most part that didn't even happen.
