SWTOR: The Sith Element - Ilum Issues

The Sith Element is a show about all things Star Wars: The Old Republic. In episode two, I discuss the Ilum debacle that has taken place since game update 1.1 made changes it. It went from being a planet where no one wanted to PVP to a huge hot mess. Hear my thoughts on the issues and be sure not to miss the very end.

Richie, I wonder the type of geeks your children are going to be.

Keep up the good work, we need kids like that. Seriously.

@GabeNiann My sons are well on their path to geekdom. Both of them have WoW characters and we play lots of console and DS games together. Fun times. Thanks for watching.

If they added a 3rd faction the problem would then change. This would create a flux that would force the stronger faction to face down 2 weaker factions at once making it less likely for them to win. Or of they are all balanced then it could be rather interesting. From what I've seen in the story there are force users that don't choose the republic or empire. Plus given a player the choice to defect to one or the other side would also give them more options.

@DemonOfMyMind They really need to stop doing MMOs with two factions. It just has so many inherent problems. Three factions could work well, but I truly think one faction MMOs are the way to go. GW2!

For the specific problem of ilum i'd say put a limit to the number of player for each faction. From a technical point of view yet it may mean instance the planet and that could require a too big change.

But this game is old in so many ways i'd just let it die... A new game with nothing really new SHOULD die.

at least there's active PVP in The Old Republic. i play City of Heroes and the PVP Zones and the Arenas are all pretty much dead... people including myself actually played PVP when it was first brought into CoH but when they started nerfing powers people, including myself, lost interest.

hahaha love the thing at the end you should definitely do more! - liked

[Ragucci25]

this seems like a problem that bioware mite just have to get rid of it seems somewhat unfixable

Awesome videos Keep Going!

@bogotter Its a little late for TOR to try and merge the factions. I agree with you that one faction is the way to go. However, since the factions are already in TOR, adding a third faction and the option to leave your faction to join another would provide a new balance to the game that could help to save the game a bit of trouble in the long run.

That aside. GW2 all the way!
