^^This.

I think they need to remove valor gains on Ilum kills altogether but let the kills you get from enemy players still count for the daily. This will at least stop valor farming which quite rampant right now. Valor should only be obtained through WZ's. Or, an alternative would be for them to cap valor on Ilum up to a certain extent so that once again it can curb valor farming.

These aren't beta forums are they? No they are NOT. Its bad enough that Bioware ignored their players during beta and all this went live in the state it is in, but the fact that the PTR thread on these forums are not posting any feedback in regards to these changes is a little strange. I don't think i saw one post on the PTR forums about half the problems and bugs that some how went live. That was my whole point.

They only said that to appease the masses. i would be very surprised to find out that they did indeed penalize any people that had been involved in that mess.

And you don't see a problem with that? A tanking class that goes down faster then a cloth wearing DPS/Healing class?

Have you seen the test realm forum posts? All they post about are crying threads about how the classes got nerfed. There were like three or more operative threads when that happened, but yet, there was NO MENTION of this UI change to speak of. Kinda makes you think don't it?

You do realize that Secret World is being published by EA and made by Funcom right? I am going to be staying far, far away from that game. I never played AOC but I heard the nightmare of a release that was, possibly even worse then this one.

The warzones not counting and the exploit that allows for more people onto one team is just ludicrously bad and should be immediately hot fixed, I am shocked this hasn't been done yet. If things do not improve within the next week I am going to be enjoying Kingdoms of Amalur and Mass Effect 3 when it comes out. At least Mass Effect is made by the competent Bioware team.

I agree with the OP. I'm on a light server and on a Monday night at 11pm you can be qued for a WZ for over a half hour only to be put into a game and have it end early due to lack of players. This is annoying, frustrating, and a waste of time. Not only that, but the WZ exploit that allows a team to pull in more then the standard amount of players is simply inexcusable and should be hot fixed ASAP. I played a game of huttball last night and our team had the normal amount of players while the opposing team had FOUR more. That is just ludicrous. Now that this exploit is known, its going to be spreading all over the net on how to use it, and this will make getting wins in a WZ almost impossile. Mix this with the valor farming on Ilum, and you have quite a mess in PVP all around.

I agree this exploit needs to be fixed ASAP or I am going to be done with the game. I played a game of huttball last night and while our team had the normal 8 player, the opposing team had 12. Give me a break, Bioware how can you let this go for so long?

So who wants to bet that they are going to come back with a reply for this issue and say that its all a "bug"?

That video is EXACTLY what I'm talking about, that looks like a very good CD system and should be used instead of what they did with this patch.

I don't get home for about 6 hours to try this new CD effect, but from what I have seen on video it does not look good at all. The original system was fine, I don't even know what they changed it. I hated the CD effect they did before this one where the abilities stay lit, now this looks even worse. Here's an idea Bioware, for abilities still on CD grey them out, or, if you want to keep them lit put a numeric value above the ability that counts down until it finally comes off CD and is able to be used. That isn't rocket science.

Or you can avoid the grind all together. Just go to Ilum, make friends with some republic players, and start valor farming where each of you takes a turn in killing each other for valor gains. Bioware has said that is not an exploit and is considered PVP gameplay.

You'll believe just about anything they tell you hunh?

I think the problem with grav round and tracer missile isn't the damage output but that it can be spammed, especially with a trooper. All i see in PVP against commandos are "grav round, grav round, grav round, med scan, grav round, etc." This ability needs to be on a decent timed CD, its spammed far too much.

This a sarcastic post right OP? I seriously hope so, because if you think sorcs need a buff then you are definitely playing the class wrong.

if they do not add cross server PVP then they at LEAST need to merge some servers. I am on a light pop server, and PVP is in a bad state because of how imps out number Republic and all we hardly ever do is huttball ALL the time. Not to mention that just grouping for heroics and FP are a pain. So if anything, server mergers would be more welcomed to me then cross server PVP right now. I believe the highest pop I ever saw in the Imperial Fleet at one time was about 110 people, usually it is between 60-80 and this is on a Sunday mid afternoon.

I know I will be doing nothing but playing Mass Effect 3 when that comes out, but I am not going to cancel my sub or anything. if i cancel my sub it will be because of Bioware not implementing or fixing certain areas of the game I have problems with. I have already told my guild I will be absent for a few days while I play ME3, i've followed that game since it was announced and I cannot wait to play it.

I'm not going to argue back and forth with someone who has wool over their eyes. If you think all the problems in this game is worth your sub money great for you, you are more forgiving then I am. I am not going to list my problems with the game when its quite apparent they will fall on def ears.

The fact that we don't get a CHOICE in what WZ we want is just plain bad design especially since we are paying $15 a month...you would think we could CHOOSE what WZ we want instead of forcing us into a WZ we may not want to play. Some people like huttball, but many hate it, I for one, am SICK of it because I play imperial and that is all it is half the time. i would much rather que for a half or more and play Voidstar or Civil War then huttball against a bunch of premade teams and never win a match. And this game is NOT nearly 2 months old, its been in development for over 5 years and its obvious they spent all their time and resources in the single player class story aspect of the game and not end game or PVP. They should have released at LEAST 2 more maps for PVP on launch to keep it varied instead of it growing stale quickly with only 3 maps. The fact that faction imbalance is so bad and Bioware is not in anyway addressing it is also not reassuring. They have also stated that they would be releasing MORE same faction PVP maps...this is just plain bad, and seriously, what is the point of having 2 factions when all you are doing is playing against your so called "allies"?

If what they are saying is true and they are adding even MORE same faction PVP, this is going to be just plain bad. Whats the point of having two factions when your just playing against your OWN faction? This is why a two faction system is not a good idea in mmo's it should be everyone for themselves, which makes things far more interesting and diverse.

And I will be sooooo happy that individuals like you will NOT be in GW2 while I enjoy the heck out of that game. My entire paycheck says it will be much smoother with far less bugs then this game.

Commandos are certainly NOT weak. They can heal, DPS, ensnare, you name it. Perhaps you just specced wrong, but I know from PVPing against commandos at level 50 these guys are trouble and they are very hard to bring down. Look online for "commando builds" and see how others are putting their points, maybe that will help. I'm sure once you reach max level though you will be killing people left and right like all the other commandos i see.

If players are valor farming each other I say let them. At first I thought it was a bad idea and it was an exploit, but you know what? Bioware designed the system and they obviously don't know what they are doing in regards to PVP. On my server, we have a huge group of Republic and Imperials that meet up twice a week and do nothing but valor farm. Tell me Bioware, is that working as intended?
