The last installment of the "Choose Your Side" videos from the developers of Star Wars: The Old Republic has been released, pitting the Smuggler class against the Sith Warrior. You can watch it over on the official site.
I think they have done a good job choosing the classes to pit against each other for these videos. In this case, we have one class (Smuggler) that focuses on ranged and tricky combat to take down enemies going against the Sith Warrior, a class that is almost entirely melee-based. The fact that the developers are split on the winner gives me a bit of reassurance as to what to expect from PvP balance in SWTOR.
Whether or not PvP is balanced is yet to be seen on my end since my current highest level is three. Have any of you been high enough to experience PvP in SWTOR? If so, how was it?

Kill ALL the younglings.
Also, as far as I know, the beta PvP did have it's quirks, but there never seemed to be any huge balance issues that I was aware of. Then again, I'm not a crunch-numbers-all-day kind of MMO player.
except all the younglins also wanna be sith so you really wont be killin em much lol
I assume the devs are dumb so I imagine the max level will be getting their own bracket shortly after a good number of people hit max level. That being said, I've really enjoyed Huttball so far. Warzones give everyone a nice been health buff so it closes the gap between a level 12 and level 20 player unlike WoW where you just got slaughtered by twink 19s in full blues.
Point of the story, I have greatly enjoyed the PvP so far in this game.
Cool story me.
