We've nearly completed two planets since our last SWTOR adventure log. Have things changed since the rather lackluster experiences on Balmorra, Quesh, and Hoth? Read on! Belsavis Belsavis is a…
In our adventures around the galaxy we have come across a few... interesting things. Below are a few of them. Anyone else notice that, in the entire galaxy, no water…
Why can’t items be universal? Why do I have to obtain a set of gear for PvP and a set for PvE?
Having to gather gear with a PvP stat has never made much sense to me.
The problem started with players who only wanted to PvP. These PvP-only types bemoaned the idea of having to go PvE to obtain their gear. The solution? Make a set of gear obtainable through PvP! Several iterations of this idea have been implemented throughout the years.
At first, the PvP gear was inferior to PvE and it was worthless. Then the PvP gear was just as good but easier to get so no one did PvE.  I guess no one cared to actually solve the problem, because the most recent version is the PvP Stat, and it’s been with us for a while now.
The PvP stat, whether it’s resilience, expertise, toughness, or whatever your particular game calls it, gives you an edge in PvP by lowering the damage enemies do to you, and increasing the damage you do to enemies. It becomes a must-have in order to compete.  I think the original problem still exists: Players can’t play the way they want.
Read on for my thoughts on the problems caused by PvP stats and why past games have done fine without them.

I was warned that I might not like SWTOR's crafting because it's nothing like the type of crafting I enjoy. I enjoy the type of crafting you find in sandbox…
The little things in SWTOR deserve some praise. I absolutely love the modifiable items. Items with an orange name can be modified with enhancements. Ctrl+Right click opens a window for…
I didn't know that SWTOR's battlegrounds, or warzones as they a called, are not level restricted. I thought they were your standard 1-9, 10-19, etc, but nope, anyone level 1-50…
