Seeing the 1.1.5 patch notes, I was very disappointed to see that BW seems to be succumbing to the demands of all the little trolls in here. I players can get out of a wz defeat and gain 2500+ valor, what is the point of having titles such as "Battlemaster" not to mention "War Hero" ???? I will skip the obvious notice that this change spits in the face of the people who have already become Battlemasters and discuss the mechanics of this, saying that 4 medals is ridiculusly easy to earn in a wz, you just have to BE there. Moreover, since the largest part of valor will be given through just 4 medals, this will further encourage players to NOT play as a team since they wont care so much about losing the wz. I realise that medal farming at present is a problem, this is however not the solution. In the end, we'll have an army of incompetent """Battlemasters""". Broadening the gap between valor ranks is at least something that should accompany these changes.

upppp you go

During warzones mostly, as the camera rotates and zooms in because of obstacles in the line of sight, I find myself constantly struggling with the mouse wheel to keep camera distance to a maximum. I think there should be an option to "lock" the player's desired distance, so that when the camera is rotated and the object cleared it can return to a proper level of zoom out. This is extremely annoying sometimes and I believe can easily be fixed.

thanks a lot!!

Ok so since I just made it to 50 last night (unfortunately I spent all my commendations on bags before the patch lol), I have a couple of Qs... Right now at 50 you get the Champion Bags for 200 mercenary and 200 warzone commendations. They either contain one token for a Champion item or 15 Centurion and & Champion commendations, right? Ok so lets say you get the commendations. - Is there anything better to do with the centurion commendations or do you spend them straight away at the vendor? - What is the best use for the champion commendations, should we get gear immediately or save them for something better? - To get the battlemaster commendations for the bm gear, what do you need to do? Are there bags again for this?

I just find it sad that most people haven't realised that this is a GAME. you play to win ofc, but losing is not a waste of time, you still have played the GAME. Now for people who just play for the items, this is even sadder. The whole point is to have fun doing something. I can't believe that I'm elaborating on the obvious but reading these posts, omg... Now I've seen lost warzones turn because 2 people quit and better players join. This doesn't mean that quitters should get away with it. 30min penalty would be great. If someone had to quit for RL problems, they will be afk that long anyway.... (Just make sure the penalty is applied when you QUIT and not get thrown to character selection because of client problems, this has happened to me while beating the crap out of the Sith on Voidstar and was very annoying...)

Totally agree. There should also be an option to enable/disable xp gains from pvp so that people could stay at the 10-49 league as long as they wish

I know I may be opening Pandora's box with this post but here's an idea: When someone receives an item through a needless Need roll, how about making the other 3 players in the party able to vote for a reroll???? If 3 vote for a reroll then it would be ok. Of course it makes the mechanic more complicated, think about the problems it would solve though....

hahahahahahhhaah +1

"Lack of damage meters is why this game is getting boring" LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

cool.... Although a smartphone app to manage your auction house would be much easier...

In my book, grabbing items that don't belong to you (i.e. poor manners) is in accordance with the psychological profile of the majority of the players who choose to play Empire side (=wannabe "baddies"). With that in mind, you could say that a sith marauder or a bounty hunter needing other people's loot is actually a touch of RP (=taking all I can with no respect to others) in the game... :p:p:p

Don't know if it's the right thing to do but it has worked quite a few times for me: when you are fighting a group of mobs and you see an enemy coming, ignore the mobs and force leap to the enemy (be sure to tell your companion to attack the main char). The mobs will come after you ofc, but you have skills like saber ward and warding call (def spec) as well as the barrier given by blade storm to mitigate the small amounts of damage incoming from the 2-3 mobs that will also be hitting you. The good thing with this is that sometimes the enemy is caught by suprise as they would not expect the reaction. Also, when you force leap you can use force push then again force leap to gain more distance from the mobs you were fighting. ... Even when it doesn't work, you will have died a hero ^^

Good for you!!! I killed two nuns, beat up four icecream lorry drivers and framed Roger Rabbit because of my RAGE trying to get to the datacrons... :p:p Seriously, I can not believe what I'm reading in half of these posts... Datacrons are not meant to be SO easy, otherwise they would just be included in the stats of the starting chars!!! Also, they are not meant for everyone to get, same as super-duper-elite pvp gear etc etc!!! The game has to reward people for spending time over something and this is one such case!!! Some people put time and effort and get the reward, some don't!!! IT IS NOT THE END OF THE WORLD. my god....

On the Alderaan bonus series quests I got bugged when returning to speak to Jeren Organa. He is highlighted on my map, but I just can't speak to him (the marker does not appear over the NPC). Has anyone encountered the same problem? Is there any way around it? (apart from restarting the series I mean)
