So after reading the new patch notes, the Ilum PVP/Valor farm issue which BW promised (just have to see what happens there) to rectify and checking out the new video with the UI fixes and what not I decided to jump on a month to month subscription. With that said. How is the warzone on other servers. My guild was a empire guild on bloodworthy but due to the heavy empire population I moved them to The ravager and we now play republic. Few of us have hit 50 and acquired few parts of our Champion pvp gear, we havn't been able to do many premade warzones yet but is it me or do the republic lose 90%-95% of their warzones. Ive done about 10 warzones today and lost every single one of them, everytime being a major loss. I'm just getting tired of losing almost every warzone I play, 3 hours of doing warzones today and still 0/3 on my daily :S The longterm effect of this is something I have started to see in warzones now.. Empire running around with 18-20k HP due to the amount of wins which lead to more valor --> higher ranks and more opportunities to acquire Battlemaster gear... This is not a QQ post, just curious as to if this applies to other servers as well? If so, it's quite a serious issue which I dont know how to fix and it can only get worse longterm... PS sorry for any typos!

This I played DAoC from 2001 to 2005. Back then majority of the people didnt know what an mmo was so yeah 250k would equal to millions today

I know many, Including me who quit.. being due to game engine issues (high end gaming computers with 1-4 fps in Warzones and whatnot) or the new 1.1 patch with it s innovative and mind blowing PVP. It's sad. I was really looking forward to this game and I was having mass fun but the fact that they keep neglecting to fix bugs (You still cant drop some grey quests, LOL????) and keep rolling out new ones with more or less every patch and hotfix they apply only left me and many others with the one option I never during my 12 years of MMOI:ng ever imagined I would do, which is to cancel before the first wave of subscriptions renewals. I still want to see this game succeed but the way BW is handling everything they dont deserve to have this game and now I actually want to see the game die so that there will be heads rolling and mass consequenses

he worked hard for it!

Only reason Ilum is lagging on low/high end computers is due to the fact that BW was extremely cheap in their decision of which Game engine to build the game on. I still can't believe that a major company like BW, backed up with the fundings of EA went ahead and built their game on a FREE game engine...It's mind boggling. I know how the HeroEngine works, and let me tell you, it's filled with bugs and issues, but hey its free, right.. Me, you and random Joe can register on heroengine.com and get access to the same engine this game was built on. It's pathethic in so many ways and on so levels that it's just sad

You sure about that? I have full Champion gear and I have gone 1v1 against full Battlemaster gear. They have about 3000 more HP than me, hit MUCH harder and take much less dmg. Please tell me how should I rotate my skills to be able to increase my skill.. Should I press the buttons harder in hope that my character will hit harder? From the looks of it you are a casual PvPer so you would not grasp how this would affect the people who actually just PVP once they reach 50

with all the BS the republic has to go through, you think anyone would want to roll a republic.. Why dont you roll a republic!

how about the fact that The imperial agent has instant response to his/her skill while my Smuggler who is a mirrored class has animation delays on the same skills.. Up to 3 seconds on some of them. I have both classes so I'm not talking out of my ***. Or Sages Vs Inqs.. Same issue there stop being a moron Not only is the faction imbalance very true but many who rolled republic went empire cause of the issues with our classes. I actually brought my guild from empire to republic so that we would be underdogs. What a mistake that was on my end now that republic is getting the short stick on every thing

Yeah cause that will for sure happen. Like all the other previous times they did something against exploiters. Oh wait, They DIDN'T. The exploiters got a slap on the wrist and got to keep everything they got while exploiting. Stop being such a naive believer in BW.

so you don't want to lose the few hours you put in but us who got screwed should wait a year or so for things to even out.. Wow, amazing thinking right there, No seriously. Cause hours is much more important than the imbalance this will bring the upcoming year or so, Yeah why should the people who spent a few hours last night suffer, let people suffer for a year instead

Really?... Your issue with all of this is that the founder title could have been cooler? Not the fact that this is the 4th time BW is letting an exploit go without any kind of actual consequense? So people who were to be insta killed upon entering the opposing camp but were not and could easily camp it and farm Valor and were allowed to do this for hours on end is OK with you. But a title has you worried? You MUST be a PvE person who thrives on collecting titles and racking up professions

Look at the timestamp Ge gained 500 valor in roughly 1 minute.. I want to see you do that in a Warzone

So a fix about 20 hours later after patch to prevent further doing of what has already happened during the first 20 hours is OK to you? What about the 20 hours that have passed and all the valor ranks that have been gain?

Heh I was online when that happened.. It's total BS that they cant rollback as some people say.. It can be done and it should have been done the minute the issue was discovered. Instead BW said eeeeh screw it.. Hey guys who's up for happy hour, and while we are getting cheap booze, lets put together a BS lie about how the ilum bases are not working they way they are supposed to work, I'm sure we can feed our customers some BS. Hey we have been doing it the last year or so why stop now

+1 I agree

This needs to be bumped over and over.. BW WE ARE NOT IDIOTS, Unlike some unmentioned Devs working for a company I will not mention which produced a game which takes place in a galaxy far far away which I will not name

There's a limit on how much ******** one person can take. Bioware has proven over and over that they look the other way when it comes to exploiters. Remember early access. Where people were deliberately leaving warzones so that it would close and reward the opposing faction. Taking turns on doing this. Gaining levels and valor rank much faster than intended. Remember the Credit exploit?. They got hit with a few day ban but got to keep the credits. And now this.. I seriously hope you take a major hit in subscriptions.. I know that I'm only one subscription but hopefully I am one in many. Even if today's BS was exaggerated, the broken system was still there and exploited, and BW doing nothing about it shows only how they will handle future issues

Also Gabe you and your entire PvP team should be fired and a group picture of you all should be distributed to every company that develops any kind of game. No company deserves to be screwed over the way your team screwed over the swtor pvp

NO ROLLBACK? Well im done...canceled my syb when i noticed this issue and was waiting for the official word to see if there would be a rollback to fix the mass amount of valor people been gaining today. but since there wont be one, I'm out and I'm sure many many will do the same

You really want to be a JEDI irl more than anything huh? (I bet that you are on a RPG server) Us PvPers don't care for the amazing quests, crafting or whatever... We want to PvP and they took that away from us. Majority of us have been very patient with Bioware but enough is enough, They didn't listen to us in the closed beta, nor the open beta, and now this.

Bioware went with a FREE game engine. Can you believe it..PROOF a game with 300 million dollars invested and they went with a FREE engine. Thats where majority of the FPS issues and what not comes from Incompetent people.. The entire SWTOR DEV Team

WHY DIDNT YOU LEVEL TO 50 IN THE ONE WEEK THE PATCH WAS ON THE TEST SERVER SO THAT YOU COULD TEST IT. WHO ON EARTH WOULD LEVEL TO 50 ON A FRIKKIN TEST SERVER WHICH GETS RESET JUST TO TEST END CONTENT.. IF THEY HAD /LEVEL 50 OK OR /CHARACTER COPY. _--------------------------------------------------------------- Sorry for the caps but this moron had it coming

I got a warning for calling Bioware for incompetent. LOL. Well Bioware. I still think you are one incompetent company for not seeing this coming despite all the threads that was created with people stating their concern, before 1.1 went live..... And to people who keep saying its OUR fault cause we did not test this on the test server. Well the patch was there for 1 week and there is no /level 50 or /character copy to the test server and I doubt ANYONE would powerlevel to 50 on a test server to try something out and later have their character deleted and then level again when a new patch is out on the test server

they have time and people to close the official 1.1 Ilum thread which the devs started and "clean" it up but they cant give us a SINGLE answer other than we are looking into it BS they have been feeding out in TWO generic posts the last 4-5 hours

Thats different from this.. back then people were still low lvls and could not gain more valor rank than the level they were at This is unlimited valor farm.. You cant even compare the 2
