  1. I love how people make sweeping generalisations, for example: "You are hurting your player base with these changes." I pvp, that is all I do. I pvpd since the game was released. I enjoy the changes. Am I not part of the player base? The difference is I don't whinge on the forums. The vocal minority are present on the forums, that is all. Secondly, the TTK hasn't increased. What changed was the amount of expertise on gear. So the people who had BM gear to start with were doing more damage because those they were fighting had less expertise. When you get better gear, you take longer to die. Things you can do to increase the TTK. Use defensive CD's. Use consumables, queue with a healing friend, queue with a tank friend. Play more defensively, focus more on achieving the objectives... the list goes on.
  2. And that is the catch 22 of the whole thing. It is a fine line between people who pvp for fun and people who pvp for the gear. A lot of people have claimed that the pre 50 bracket is more fun because it is in theory more balanced with regards to gear (not factoring in talents and abilities that is different again). Possible solutions? Perhaps scale those who have poorer gear like the current stat system used in 10-49? The problem is that removes the gear side problem but creates a what is the point of pvping problem for those who pvp for the rewards.
  3. What is annoying is people have missed the actual problem. It is the leaving. Which results in another person joining an in progress match whereby it is extremely difficult for them to achieve said medals. Also there seems to be a link between how long the individual has spent in the warzone and the amount of commendations earned. Leaving needs to be met with a harsh penalty. 1 hour queue block? Lose the amount of commendations you would of have achieved for repeated leaving? Severe queue dodging resulting in a pvp queue ban? That would stop all leaving for sure. The other problem with pvp is people become to fixated on the rewards and stop playing pvp for what it is. player vs player. It is the fighting that is the fun part, winning is an added bonus as someone stated. If you claim to enjoy pvp and are whinging about the rewards you clearly missed the point of pvp.
  4. No they should be rewarded for not reading a patch note that said MERCENARY COMMENDATIONS ARE BEING REMOVED FROM ACTIVE CURRENCY THEY CAN BE EXCHANGED FOR 10:10 WARZONE. Ignorance is not a defence. In addition to this. If you didn't read every single patch note the old conversion rate was 30 mercenary = 10 warzone. So even still you should have known that you weren't going to get a lot back. Since people are so accustomed to the system and all... Oh and a side note. I bought up 1000 merc commendations too, and exchanged them for 1000 warzone on top of my 1000 warzone. I bought 2 pieces and moved on with my life.
  5. I wonder if people actually realise that winners get full reward. Losers get half that if they have achieved the 8 medals. It is impossible to get 0 coms if you have 8 medals. Each medal gives 5 coms. Do the math. If you get less than the said 40 coms it is probably because of the rate in which you won/lost. If you get steamrolled in 30 seconds and still have 8 medals, it appears that you get less overall. Don't think that the winners still get their 100 coms because they dont. If you get 20 they get 40 assuming you have both got your 8 medals. There have been matches that have gone the full duration winning team got 100 odd commendations the losing team got around 50. How do I know this? Because I had people on both sides of said match in my guild. Go down to your local hardware store, buy some concrete mix it up, serve and eat. Harden the F up.
  6. Once again. The old conversion system was 30 merc = 10 warzone. The new system is 10:10. As I said if they gave you 10:30 they would inflate the market and destroy the time/gear progression. Prior to 1.2 the max amount of commendations was 1000. So in order for you to get 1000 mercenary you would have capped your warzone commendations 3 times. Instead of leaving it at 1000 warzone and 0 merc, you decided to convert to mercenary, thus allowing you to continue getting warzone. What you are asking for is unreasonable.
  7. No. Because you couldn't get 3000 warzone coms as it capped at 1000. so you managed to get 1000 merc coms, which you then traded for 1000 warzone coms straight off the bat. If you were smart and capped both, 1.2 hit and you instantly had the capped warzone coms which = at least 2 pieces depending on what you bought of BM gear. Again.. what is the problem. You want them to implement 10 merc for 30 warzone? That inflates the market and destroys the point of having a gear/time based progression as in 1 swing you can basically have 1/2 a BM set.
  8. I have pugged every match, and it isn't as bad as you make it out to be. Sure there could be improvements made but it is not broken completely. Also objectives give you medals. So you are better off going for them cause you will cap medals that way faster than chasing them. Credits for losing is a moot point. since it is also determined on how long the match has been going for. You probably get half as much for a loss as the winning team does, I am willing to bet the exp is the same as well. The rewards for losing is roughly half of the winning team. Simple. Fair. In reality losing teams get nothing. Be thankful that we still get something.
  9. Can someone please explain to me because I don't understand. Warzone commendations are awarded based on 2 factors, the time spent in the warzone and the number of coms you have up to 8. The winning side gets double the amount the losing side gets. Seems fair. If you win really quickly you get less overall. The losing team gets half what the winning team gets if they have 8 commendations. How is this unfair?
  10. The old conversion rate was 30 merc to 10 warzone..... 10 : 10 is good..... even still merc coms are now used for nothing of importance... I don't understand your problem....
  11. Whilst I have been enjoying my time so far, bugs and all that is life they will be fixed no biggie. I would like to know if anyone has heard anything about fixes for the following issues I have experienced a few times in HM FP's. Several times my group have killed the final boss only to wipe just after, depending on the strategy we used to down it. You would think you could zone back in to get your loot.... nope... because you have finished the instance you are locked and cannot enter anymore. Another example is, a member dies on the fight. After the boss dies they release and go to run back.. same issue as above. Any word on a change for this? (edit: I know there are work-arounds such as loot before you die, dont zone out.. but that is beside the point, zoning out shouldn't punish you)
  12. What is the Repbulic mirror? Is it gravity round or something?
  13. Hey guys, Thinking about playing a BH in PVP, just wondering what go is with them.. I only ever see people spamming tracer missile in pvp is that the only thing you do.. or is there.. hmm more depth to the character... The class is so cool, yet seems boring if thats all you do..
  14. Where is your evidence about more bugs than before? Have you ever in your life finished anything earlier than expected? Did you simply sit there looking into space until you reached the allotted time? Or did you move onto the next thing?
  15. Then don't post dribble. They have taken ages so far? ... um the game has been live for 2 weeks. If that is ages I would hate to see what a month feels like. But to answer your issue developing fixes takes a lot of time.... you even acknowledged that in a previous post... yet you go on to contradict yourself yet again. So, before you keep complaining or whatever you think you are doing, do yourself a favor and spend 10 minutes reading this
  16. Honestly.... What exactly do you want them to say? They have acknowledged the problems. They have stated they are working on fixing them. They have stated they don't have an ETA.... And finally, how the hell do you know they aren't paying much attention to them? Do you work for BW? Are you a developer there? I honestly don't understand... are you really that dense?
  17. oh well life moves on ill just have to pretend...
  18. Is there a way to turn off companions helm displays?
  19. That your character isnt too good at peaceful negotiations? I mean, every chance I get Im like.. slow down, lets talk this out.. and the NPCS are all likE DIEEEEEEEE blaahhhhh blasters pew pew pew pew pew....
  20. Have to say... coolest transport ever... they even make whale like sounds... Awesome.. ( This post is too positive so I feel obliged to make some negative comments - Sharding has spoiled my enjoyment of this transport cause other players cannot watch me fly on it... this gmae sucks fix this or I quit like NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the extra ! are for emphasis)
  21. Vocal clueless minority "this game has so many bugs they need to fix these game breaking issues right now!" /nerdfit BW " hey guys going to run maintenance to deploy a patch to fix some pressing bugs down time about 6hrs" Random vocal idiot "6hrs this is unacceptable bw are so **** this game sucks" -....... You really cant make these douchebags happy...
  22. Why do people complain about a feature (sharding) that bw have said was introduced to aid stability and would be removed soon after launch......
  23. Ok, you are allowed to have your opinion. Quit stay it doesnt affect my gaming experience but before you go answer me this. If you have been an (correct me if I am wrong) an avid supporter for 2 years why is it that after 5-6 days after launch you are already bailing? Way to "support" the game and give it a chance.... 730 odd days of support and you leave after 5ish days. Something doesnt quite make sense.
  24. Simple fix for the mean time. Just like other programs that run in the background (have a feeling it is a windows thing) exit the program initially then run it as administrator. Problems solved. All my mouse buttons on my logitech work when i do that. Pz.
