I played a healer in WoW, a priest to be exact. For the couple years that I played that game, stepping into a PvP arena or battle was a suicide run. Impaired movement, three hits, graveyard. I maybe got off 1-2 heals. So, I was never really expecting much out of myself in SWTOR, but I tried PvP anyway.
14 kills later (3rd place on my team of ten), I still suck, but I suck much less. Heres whats cool: SWTOR makes it so that every type of class has utility in a PvP match. One-on-one, as a Sith Sorcerer, I could pretty much take on anyone that came my way. If there were a few teammates, we pwned. It was really fun!
The matches Ive played so far are objective based. One has a series of three turrets, and the game revolves around controlling those turrets. There was even a story to go along with it. It wasnt just some hey lets go do some PvP they tried to connect it to the larger game.
Playing with DB members is a blast. A few of us grouped up and had a good time playing. It makes a difference when you have people you know playing with you; teamwork is easier when you give a crap about the other folks.
A couple tips I learned today/yesterday:
If you are in a remote questing area and hate the idea of running back to that area from the spaceport, do not queue up for PvP while questing. At the end of the match, you end up back in the Imperial fleet in space. It took me a solid fifteen minutes to get back to my questing area.
Till next time.

WoW PVP was pretty much suicidal, what fun.

This is a much better experience for non-DPSers, I think.
are you talking about the battle grounds for PVP? I would agree the batlle grounds pretty much mean death but if you play on a PVP sever you have much more fun inj the whole PvP thing because you can do killing almost any where.
I do love PvP severs. LOL Sticking with WoW for now. Husband and i just dont wnat to buy a new game right now and we want to give it some time to be out.
Good Luck how ever Jac. I liked reading about the game.
I found and chased down my first few rebels in open world today jaccy, you should be proud of me :D
If you suck in pvp, don't worry.... i ll always be here to spit on your dead body (i didn't know Hutt has Balls...)
