As promised here, there was supposed to be a stream showcasing a few of the rewards for Season 9. Please don't make us wait till the last day of the week
-
Honestly, end the season already. Nearly a year-long season and no PvP armor sets. :<

Hey folks,
Definitely keep the feedback coming! The team is reading through the thread to get an idea of everyone's thoughts.
A few points of clarification:
- The prior rewards we are talking about are cosmetic rewards (mounts, weapons, armor) not things like Top 96 titles.
- These older items on the vendors would be very expensive to purchase with seasonal tokens. We absolutely want to avoid "everyone" having our older top-end rewards. The intention would be for them to be accessible but still very rare.

Thanks for clarifying.

Love these changes, but as long as you don't bring back the old top 3 titles. The rest is fine. The old top 3s should be the only thing excluded from the vendors.
-
Top 96 – Top 3 of each Advanced Class
- Class-specific Season 9 Top 96 Title – “[Player Name] the Genius <Advanced Class>”
- Top 96 Season 9 Character Portrait Flair
- 325,000 Ranked Season 9 Tokens
- Every tier exclusive reward from the Gold, Silver, and Bronze tiers (minus the token grants)

Could we get different titles? These don't seem battle-themed at all, they don't even sound like PvP titles at all. Kind of disappointed.
If we look at the the past top 3 titles, they were mostly battle-themed. "Champion of the Assassins, The Dread Assassin, All-Galaxy Assassin" All of those had some sort of battle theme. "The Genius Assassin" doesn't really fit anything to do with PvP, are we writing proofs and solving equations while we PvP? I don't get it.
- Class-specific Season 9 Top 96 Title – “[Player Name] the Genius <Advanced Class>”

whatever's Grim's faults I notice he focused on attacking a format, and people insisted on turning it to personal insults again... It was already demonstrated that these will in fact be removed... Can we please focus on debating the issue at hand?
Sorry but Grim is a bad player and I can't argue with bad players. I'll argue with people who actually know how to play the game.

Head's up. You are not the only person who plays this game.
You just admitted that you can get that scenario while you were trying for some reason to deny it.
Here's the operative word - "unless". Which means, you can.
Did you just say balance? Really?
As there are no nodes in Ranked, that's a tremendously stupid point to make and you know what else is stupid [besides the obvious], that you don't know that the same arenas you play in Ranked, we all play in regs as well. You are doing nothing we don't do also. You can't say the same.
Sure, there are nodes in Regs, ya know what else are in regs? Enemies, enemies who are trying to kill you, ergo fighting.
I can't speak for the Operative or the Assy or the Sniper who sits on a node for a match, i'm sure that's not always fun, that said, guess what happens to people who are guarding nodes quite often?
They tend to get attacked a F of a lot.
As for me, I don't stop fighting for 5 seconds. In a full length WZ, I fight 3 times as long as you are in an arena. Ya know how I know that? I fight in arenas too, every time they pop in REGS. Same exact arenas, to the letter.
I don't mind when jerf off Ranked players try to make it out like ranked is 'the hardest content in the game' because quite honestly we all can use a good laugh from time to time.
Ya know what else is very different between Regs and Ranked?
One of them has a lot less cheaters and the results of which are a lot less telling about the player.
Lie your *** off, it doesn't matter to me. You want to think that you are a better player than everyone who does regs? Feel free to think that. - I know your not.
Must be hard fighting all those mat farmers who totally inflated your unjustified rating. Whoa. Hard stuff, how do you do it? Everyone knows how much skill it takes to buy accounts on the internet. And the skill in 'playing the quece', that's the kind of skill that can only be passed from father to son once in a generation, much like win-trading.
P.S. - You're not the only person who knows how to read.
Hi my name is Grim if you don't know me I'd first like to say I play carnage mara which is actually a top spec but in my hands a bit below average if I had self heals it'd be better but I ain't no sell-out so don't look at me to run fury or sniper or merc because then I'd lose my indie cred like I lost ruthless aggresor. Meanwhile snipers have heal to full and I can't every get within range so how's that fair like?? I need you all to know that I've transcended ranked pvp by reading about it on the forums, in essence "beating" pvp so you can find me in a reg on any given day parsing on other kids in the sandbox. I tell them to stand still so they don't break my star parse and I can test out my new rotation clipping fear into my ferocity window but they always roll away so i pop camo go behind them and shout "TOO SLOW!" as I crit them for 10k with my quasi-burst. I don't think they usually notice I'm on them but I take "screeneies" so ya'll know I queue in the game not just ont he forums even though my output is relatively teenie. I'd like to take a moment to remind you I play carnage mara and I am oppressed. Anyway if you do know me you know I have to get this post's wordcount to 7,800 whjile keeping it to 2 paragraphs so we have a long way to go so you better buckle up buster. This just in: I have inside intelligence that ranked pvp is a sham and a manifestation fo the elitist underbelly of toxic proliferation of a concentrated effort to eviscerate the proletariat of regular warzone goers like myself that are actually secretly incredibly ina way that I haven't defined BETTER than ranked pvpers. Whew! Ranked is easy, and I know this because I've had anys tretch of success or compettitive impact ont he legitimate players within the scene so how. Bou. THA. I know it in my gut like only an honorable carnage mara could know. Insert tired old meme like NERF OPERATIVES to let the plebs oveer in genral laugh knowingly as we talk about compassion, love, or understandinf for the broken Dark Princess. We still have 7100 more words to go so I'm going to break out the ol' random word generator. I'm making a calculated bet that people will skim through my manifestos and not notice I'm talking about the length of giraffe's necks and the amount of galleons in the ocean right alongside my generally misinformed rambling about pvp but you may find tha tmore interesting anyway. What's really interesting is solo ranked, let me tell you my opinion on that (I have lots of opinions and you need to hear them, don't give me that look). There's a wannabee Frenchman on EU selling accounts and boosting misguided fools to think their top 3 titles means anything in current year, and therefore I am a 1200 player and regular warzone Champion. If you cna't follow that logic I'ma call you DUMB!.!. with a capital U. as in, U DUMB!.!. My name is Grim with a hard r and now that you know who I am we can move past the introduction of my thesis into the meat of the essay........ I've forgotten what I was talking about actually so I'll smash various words I've seen on the 9 hours a day I spend on the forums into a non-coherent thought and leave with that as I get back to it at some point. Stay Strong, stay carnage, stay pvp parsing and resist the ranged overlords and their ranked machinations.

The same Arenas in ranked, pop on regs.
Arenas, aren't hard. They're arenas.
Team A - 1 healer, 1 tank, 1 Sniper, 1 merc
Team B - 1 DPS Guarduan, 1 DPS Shadow, 1 DPS Sorc, 1 Combat Sentinel.
Let's assume all parties involved are competent. That can go either way, right? Yeah, that's real competitive.
Except that scenario wouldn't be possible since you can't get a team of 1 healer vs one without a healer in ranked unless the healer declined and no other healer is queueing to fill-in. Regs aren't competitive and they're actually less balanced than some ranked games are, people only complain about ranked because it's a higher learning curve than standing at a node.

Ok so I thought I'd have my say as a main tank, I main all three tanks or have done for years, I have played at higher levels in 4's, solo's and regs. Firstly I'd like to say I'm a bit worried about the change as offhands automatically give a tank 24-30 percent shield rating which means that skanks will automatically get this without even swapping to tank gear. So, that needs to be addressed since you're just buffing skanks. Other than that, I welcome the change, the fact that wz matchmaking changes will prevent a billion tanks being in the same wz will help out, I hope they apply this to arena's too, where a group cannot queue 2 tanks or 2 healers into an arena game.
Now let me address the dps of a skank tank, without any changes to healing or dps (decreasing healers or increasing dps for the dps), 4's will be broken if we take away dmg of a skank. There will not be enough damage put out to contend with a healer and every game will go to dampening, or at least pressure comps will be in a much worse position than it's hardswap counterpart, meaning quite a lot of specs will become even more useless in this competitive mode. I think matchmaking resolves skank issues, skanks are required in 4's, that missing dps makes for long drawn out games which isn't fun. It also resolves skanks in regulars since you may only see 1 per game. The gear change helps tanks in solo's, since pt's are a free kill, sins are tank tunnel and well jugs are actually fine. In my opinion tank tunnel should never be a viable option unless they wear dps gear, and this resolves that issue, however I'd like to be clear, tanks should not have this crit mitgation through guard, as this would allow for a tank to die through guard.
No better tank than this guy, for sure. He's been playing since launch and has done both 8v8 ranked and 4v4 team ranked with multiple top 3s under his belt.

Seriously consider changing the titles, they are underwhelming. It almost looked like it was rushed at the last minute when we had nearly a year-long season.
-
Should have reskinned the battlemaster sets and added animations in my opinion.

Where are the nice pvp themed ranked titles like predator, giradda kind of scum, head hunter, maximum decimator. I am sorry bioware but The adept, the prodigy mean nothing. At least the bronze tier title sounds nice "the skilled". Please consider to changing the silver and gold title.
This. We didn't participate in ranked for 8 months for titles like these. Please consider changing them
-
Titles are pretty weak, honestly. Can we get better-sounding titles? It seems like zero thought went into the titles.
-
Thank you, very excited for these!
Only one suggestion, can we get a better top 3 title? I don't think "The Genius" sounds top 3-ish enough.
-
Please no delay!

Ban everyone higher rated than me, they’re all in some kind of elitist club and doing something I’m not to climb rating!
Seriously though, three toons at 2k+ rating without any kind of exploit or graphs to show me when and not to queue. Don’t over-complicate it, queue up until you lose two in a row and then stop and try again later. Climbing is simple. I see this kind of mentality all the time in Counter Strike, the silver tier players are quick to call hacks when someone performs better than them. I don’t know what it is but some players can’t accept that some people are just better.
-
and another part of being the best tank you can be is discovering the playstyle that works best for you. I have survived many times with < 8k health. believe me or not, it's up to you. My specialty is simply being that jerk that won't die. How much damage I do is almost irrelevant to my playstyle.
My god, you’re hopeless. Part of being the best player is listening to players better than you. Janglor and Wimbleton are legends.
-
Well it's not the Season 9 rewards, but it's a step in the right direction.
-
I honestly do not care about rewards - just a title, a flair and a flag would be good enough, even though it's been way overdue. I care more about the brackets at this point.
I seriously think that seasons should be kept shorter with smaller rewards, with maybe one every 3-5 seasons having bigger rewards.
Agreed. Shorter seasons and rewards announced earlier within the season. I'm very excited to see what the rewards will be this season though because it's the only season I've actually tried to compete.
-
We are looking to get that information out this week!
-eric
That's great, thank you!

As some others in the thread have highlighted, we tried to outline our schedule in the Summer Roadmap Keith put out, here. There aren't any updates planned for June. In the roadmap Keith highlighted the changes that are coming July through September, I have also made quite a few forum posts in the PvP forum highlighting specifics of what changes are coming in 5.9.2. We are making a lot of Warzone and matchmaking changes.
Soon™ we will start talking about PTS for 5.9.2. Hope that answers your question!
-eric
What about the season 9 rewards that were planned to be announced near the end of June, any word on that?
-
git gud kid
-
As long as they ban everyone rated higher than me for wintrading I'm fine with it.
^ Lol
Come on man, there is no way to get tier-1 without cheating in some kind of way

They should be released any day now

Yeah, that 1500 rating must have been real tough to get
