Pre-cu pvp

Just for the hell of it I'll post. I've been reading these boards since 2004 but this is my first post. For anyone that can't figure out why all the pre-cu people can't let it go I throw this out:

PvP on Bloodfin (I'm biased) as a Rifle/CM/Doc template using a kryat t21 (or a jawa prior to stun armor) speed capped with high tick poison. Maybe the guys your up against you've fought before. Is their template the same? Is their title accurate? Are they using the same weapons you went up against last time. Are they really a novice brawler? What kinds of food are they jacked up on? Is their melee or ranged defense capped? or worse, both? Mind or health fire weapons? And oh yeah, where did we clone at again?

If this is Greek to you these are just some of the variable that went into pvp pre-cu. Its what made the game what it was imo. For those of you that remember what Im talking about...Cheers.

    Welcome....pop another top and settle in for awhile.     I heard alot of bithcing about pvp in SWG but I alwasy found it entertaining, especially back in tef days.   It was there when you wanted it, and you had better bring your A game, cause you never new when one of the other guys was gonna whip out 800 mind fire lance.

    You're kidding right? In pvp everyone pretty much popped the same foods and drinks and spammed the same move over and over...

    A rifleman cm calling pre-cu pvp complex is just irony at its finest. Face it, pre-cu pvp was garbage, its much better now that it actually requires a smidgeon of player skill.

    Pre-cu required more then see who can click on the other person the fastest while moving around as quick as u can. IMO pre-cu and even cu took at least some strategy and preperation for a fight. Now its get to cl90 use any weapon and run round like you are playing cs. There is also no suprise now to who u are fighting, its just what class and cl they are and u pretty much know everything about them.

    Whose fault is that? The players or SOE for making an unbalanced game and never really trying to balance it out?

    HAM system was broken, MIND was not healable, and the weakest pool.

    There was a wide variety of PvP templates. CM and Doctor were both very popular, along with all of the melee classes Pikemen, Fencer, TKA, not as many Swordsmen though. Riflemen was the only real ranged choice, Pistoleer wasn't the greatest except for some defenses, and Carbineer was right out. Notice pretty much all of these professions targeted the mindpool(pikemen mindfire polearms were crazy).

    Sure mind was the weakest, so everyone ran around with it maxed via stat migration, then buffed with brandy and some food I can't remember. And if they were really good they used an entertainer buff, which sucked because they lasted maybe 1 hour to 2 hours, compared to 4 hour doc buffs.

    Bloodfin was where PvP was at. Server crashing battles. Alas, SOE missed the boat and never really made the game for PvP and catered to the PvE.
