Lol...not at the dev post. At all the crying like babies and false claims of cancelled subs. I'm sure a few of u did. Bigger lol at you. Its a freaken game, and a damn good one at that.
Exactly. All damn good games give you a random black/loading screen every 5 minutes during gameplay. Oh wait....
-
Not going to lie, as bad as Warhammer and Aion were, nothing comes close to how utterly ridiculous this situation is.
^ Pretty much this. Epic fail.
-
Even if BW were to magically fix Ilum PvP tomorrow (pretty much doubt it) they still haven't even bothered to address all the feedback regarding random black/loading screens occuring during gameplay, Warzones included.
1.1 Patch is epic fail.
-
You may have missed the part where he said that those that exploited will be looked at individually.
I very much doubt that given the fact BW don't even have the tools available to do a rollback lol
-
FYI this screenshot is NOTHING - I saw multiple others online today where the bonus was +110, not 40... and the guys screen was full! That's 2600 valor, give or take, in what his screen showed alone, give it a few hours at that rate and he's sitting high on the hog right now.
^ This. The screenshot the previous poster linked is of me, I went to Ilum and took it to prove a point:
1. The stupidy that is the 1.1 Patch and Ilum PvP far outclasses Warzone valor gain
2. I'm a Republic Sentinel Watchman = pure single target melee class (****** aoe aside)
3. As a Sentinel I suffer bigtime from ability stuttering
4. Throw random black/loading screens during gameplay into the mix
How much do you think Imps camping the Republic base while controlling all 5 points were doing every minute while casting decent AoE? A sith bud of mine told me about it, that's why I went to Ilum, took the screenshot, completed the daily/weekly and got out.
Imps were easily farming +2K valor points every minute. Can you say broken?
1.1 Patch is fail on so many levels its beyond epic.
-
I guess I was fooled by all the image shack photos showing valor gain >100 gain every few min by AoE spamming. They must have been photoshopped.
Me as a Republic player fighting back:

Let's not forget the fact I'm all about single target melee dps with ability stuttering (go sentinels). Throw horrific lag/spikes into the mix. And random loading screens during gameplay.
I know for a fact Imps were doing 2-3 times that amount every minute (sith bud of mine).
Thanks for rendering my legit Battlemaster title useless.

A videos says more than words:
lol, gotta love the random loading screen at 2:59
-
Agreed tbh, so far im not impressed by their community relations.
I wish they would hire some of the best people in the world on community relations!
lol, I see what you did there.
-
Hahaha and who was talking about irony again?
That's what I was trying to say. That was me as a Republic *single target melee* Sentinel farming Imps. There wasn't even that many Imps around. An Imp bud of mine was doing twice the amount of valor points each minute in Ilum farming Republic players.
BW basically broke Warzones too, no need to do those anymore. Why spend two hours doing Warzones when you can farm the same amount of valor points in 15 minutes participating in the Ilum lagfest? sigh....
-
I think we have very different opinions of what the word "soon" means.
Former NCSOON employee, no doubt about that.
-
THE TURRETS EXPLOIT IS FALSE!!!!!!!!!!!! HOW MANY TIMES MUST PEOPLE SAY THHAT??
Do you guys need a spoon with that info up ur arse to get it in??
And? Something is broken when I can make 500 valor points in a minute as a Republic player when there wasn't even that many Imps around to begin with. Throw ability stuttering into the mix and the fact I'm a single target melee class, my ****** AoE aside. And the horrific lag/spikes. And random black/loading screens during Ilum PvP and Warzones.

Why do Warzones when you can make 10x the amount of valor points in the '2 fps random loading screens massive lag/spikes' lagfest that is currently going on? Where is the fun in that? Patches are supposed to fix things, not make things worse.
Are you really saying Patch 1.1 is a decent one?
-
Looks like the devs went to bed. Oh well...
-
Wow, post gone. Let's try again.
It took me exactly 1 minute to farm 500 valor points as a republic player and there wasn't even a huge amount of Imp players around. Not to mention, besides my ****** AoE I'm a 100% single target melee class. Add ability stuttering and horrific spike/lag to it all. And random loading screens. And the valor bonus was minimal.

An exploit, in the context of gaming, is abusing a bug or UNINTENDED result for gain. Unfair and needing to be fixed is NOT an exploit. Duplicating items IS an exploit. Welcome to your first MMO, stop acting like a child and spreading misinformation.
Why don't you go tell that to everybody who posted in the now 176 page long QQ thread? Not even NCfail messed up Aion this bad so fast. Or Cryptic Heroes/Villains/Champions/Star Trek. Or Funcom AoC.
If you can't understand how big of a failure the 1.1 Patch is then you're the one without MMO experience.
For the record, I've been playing MMOs since UO but whatever. Enjoy your valor gain while it last.
the loading screen is a glitch, i will give you that but nothing else.i had it happen an number of times when flying around fleet but thats about it(well and on the loading screen themselves but that doesnt really matter). havent had it in a warzone or on Ilum.
Random loading screens have in fact occured during Warzones. It happened to me and several have already reported it. That alone is a major game breaker as it takes a few seconds before you're back doing whatever you were doing, be it Warzone or cruising around the fleet.
-
Dunno as I'm not Imp (bet you are) but Imps are not meant to farm Republic players spawn inside the base. Ergo the turret. Read the definition on exploit again. Christ.
I bet you also refer to spamming your AoE button inside the base and gaining valor points 'fair PvP' lol
And for the record, loading screens occur during Warzones too:
-
Several have already reported the loading screen to pop up randomly, be it ingame during gameplay or between loading screens. That alone is a major game breaker. Regarding turret valor points, don't care if it's true or not but it is obvious that Ilum is not working as intended when there are videos of Imps gaining 100 valor points in 5-6 seconds by going afk inside the Republic base.
ex·ploit [ik-sploit] Show IPA
verb (used with object)
1.to utilize, especially for profit; turn to practical account: to exploit a business opportunity.
2.to use selfishly for one's own ends: employers who exploit their workers.
3.to advance or further through exploitation; promote: He exploited his new movie through a series of guest appearances.
If you don't want to call afking inside the Republic base while gaining valor points an exploit then be my guest.
-
If they are siting anything from these forums outside of Dev's responses then it isn't fact.
You saying that the spawn camping, valor gain and loading screens etc. ain't true? ...

Skrigg's live stream is hilarious lol decent music too.

Something is telling me your icons consist mostly of other colors than the very same color the CD timer uses.

Told you BW! Can we have a rollback now?
-
At least modify all icons to other colors than blue. C'mon BW. Pretty please. With sugar on top.
-
why are servers still up?
^ This.
-
That's probably cause icons no longer grey out.Add this fiasco to Ability Delays on my Sentinel (today, it seemed to just get worse. Couldn't Zealous Strike anyone in PvP no matter how much I spammed the ability)
Update on Ilum Open World PvP issues
in PvP
Posted · Edited by darthtoph
It's a confirmed bug caused by the 1.1 Patch. Many peeps have reported it. Try again.
It's also worrying when you can run BF3 in Ultra mode and 16x MSAA but SWTOR can't even handle 20v20 open world PvP in Ilum with everything set to low and Vsync turned off...
