I bought this game at launch and played for 5 months before leaving for Diablo 3 and then Mists of Pandaria. The longer I stayed away from Swtor the less likely it seemed I would return, but then F2P happened. I logged in to check it out and now I am hooked all over again. I just renewed my subscription. F2P let's you poke your head in every once in awhile without any commitment.

Before the server merge or basic character transfers, I think there should be a new server called the Loyalty Server that is only for people that have have or get a subscription for atleast 6 months. The way this works is that you allow people to transfer if they choose to this server starting with people with 1 year subscription, then 9 months, then minimum of 6 months to fill the server. If I had the opportunity to join a server which would be fully active with players for atleast 6 months, I would renew for atleast 6 months to go to this server. This makes bioware money and makes players happy they are getting what they pay for.

Yes, I have been playing since launch and only able to play 2 flashpoints so far. I play at weird times and don't have all day to wait for a group. If no cross server queue, then atleast do a queue for your own server.

I have been playing since launch, and have only played 2 low level flashpoints so far. I mostly PVP, but now I want to do flashpoints and operations with my level 50 character. The problem is that there is never anyone around or takes for ever to find a group. This is the best content in the game and most of us never get a chance to experience it. When can we see cross server queue? Heck, even a queue for my own server would help.

How about the current system apply to "ranked" matches only when that comes live. The more hard core players will do ranked matches for ranking and for ranked commendations to purchase War Hero gear. Let the "unranked" matches have a bit more friendly commendation return for the losers and even commendations for those that only get 1 medal. Also, daily and weekly PVP guests need to be separate for ranked and unranked matches so people that just play unranked cannot accummulate ranked commendations. Does this work?

This is a great example as you can see your team lost 100% to 0%. You cannot get any defense points because your team has no control over anything. As a healer, you do not get the kill medal since your team didn't kill many people. If your team is dying too fast, then there is no one to heal and people are ganging on you as no one is alive to defend you. I can guess you got the 2 medals from crit heal and getting 75K heal, just short of the 150K that would have given you the 3rd medal so you could leave with a measly 15 comm instead of 0. You could have just left the warzone, but you stayed anyways. Here is the reward, 0 across the board which is no different then what the people that quit the first minute or two of the match.

I forgot to mention I am a commando healer, the weakest of the healers, and my cast time was increased by 0.5 seconds. So when you are outnumbered 8 to 5 and people are dying faster than you can cast a heal it makes it hard to earn these medals. I don't think I am a bad player. I get 340,000 for healing in a match with recruit gear and usually get MVP votes, so the assumption that I must just suck is not true.

Yes, this is exactly what happened to me but I got 3 medals, but above post says you should get comm if you get atleast 3 medals. This has to be a glitch.

Do you need to earn atleast 4 medals to earn commendations? Those were the only 2 matches I didn't earn them since we got streamrolled from being outnumbered on our server.

I had 2 matches last night that I played start to finish and received 0 commendations? We were outnumbered both matches and got steamrolled, but I earned 3 medals in one match and 2 in another, which sucks but better than nothing considering the circumstances. So I invest 15 minutes a match for nothing? Has this happened to anyone else or is this a glitch being fixed in todays patch? I know some of you will say I expect to be rewarded for losing, but I want to have some reward for time and investment or else there is no point on my server. We are completely outnumbered to waste time for no gain.

You got 40 commendations? I wish I got that. I played 4 matches last night and we lost every match and I got a total of 48 commendations in 4 matches. Two of the matches I got 0 commendations. I still received medals and played the entire match, but 0 commendations for staying and finishing? Maybe that is a glitch and the patch today is fixing it, because if not I am done with PVP. I too play on a server that is completely off balanced. Cannot wait to have cross-server to even things up a bit.

I know I can play because it is fun, but with so much to do in this game I am just saying I may as well do other stuff in the meantime, then go back to pvp after patch 1.2 since I am not gaining anything from it. Flashpoints, dailies, starting a new alt are all fun too.

I thought set bonuses are not transferring for cent or champ gear, but I may be wrong.

I just read all the changes coming to patch 1.2 for PVP and basically there is no reason to even play anymore until patch 1.2 comes out. What is the point of collecting cent or champ gear if you can just buy the new recruit gear set which will have more expertise than both of these. No more valor restrictions, so no point playing to increase valor in the meantime.

"Medals are now worth 500 Valor and 10 Commendations. Players only earn Valor and Commendations for the first 4 medals earned each match." Does this mean you get 500 Valor and 10 commendations for each Medal up to 4, meaning you get 2000 Valor and 40 commendations for first 4 medals? Just curious, because last match I got 6 medals and our team won and I got about 1200 Valor and 83 commendations. How does this whole thing work?
