Lynkx Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 (edited) Somehow I wound up doubleposting a long time after the original post. Weird. Edited January 9, 2012 by Lynkx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim_H Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Please, do not wait, roll this out immediately. The farming of newbs by 50's to get their gear is getting rediculous. Tuesday the 50 only bracket needs to go in! Because everyone needs to play more huttball.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldManRelic Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I can't wait until they make a 50's bracket, and then all you whiners come back here to the forums.. WWWWAAAAAAMMMBULANCCCEEEEEEE - We are getting our arse's handed to us by 49's - Make a bracket for them toooooooooooooo... WAAAAAAAAMMMMBBBULLAAAAANNNCCCCEEEEEEEE Nah. The problem with fighting 50's is all the expertise they tend to have. I don't mind fighting 49's at all. I can win against them, if I play well. 50's with Expertise? Forget it. I litterally /sit if I'm on a sub-45 toon. No reason to let them enjoy smashing a struggling puppy's head. They'll have to stomp a sleeping one instead.

richardya Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 (edited) At least use a balance mechanic, if there are 50's in the que put them with 10-15's so the average level is balanced. Adjust the booster mechanic to affect the average team level. Take a team average (count 50 as 55 to adjust for expertise gear) and booster accordingly. Team 11112172428283042 Team 21830334245505050 Team 2 will win 90% of the time. Give Team 1 an additional boost. Even put the top 3 from team 1 in virtual PvP gear.

Scrump Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 If they implemented a level 50 bracket today, my server wouldn't be able to queue on the republic side right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlDARKSIDElx Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Can't implement this NOW. There aren't enough 50's across all the servers to make this work the way everyone wants it to. If you put it in now, que times for the level 50's would be incredibly long. And then there would be a thread on the forums on how bad BW is for implementing this too early. Wait for the 50's population to grow in the next couple of weeks or so and then this would be good to put in then, not right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeDawg Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 (edited) The problem isnt 50s. The problem is geared 50s. Open up the 50 bracket, but allow 50s to join the normal bracket if they dont wear pvp gear. Edited January 9, 2012 by DeeDawg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am 48 and want at least 2 weeks getting my revenge on lowbies before this implemented. Edited January 9, 2012 by richardya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psychosiszz Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Well would be interested to see. I'm level 50 and theres normally only about 20 other 50's on at a time on bloodworthy at prime time. So looks like the republic wont be able to play WZ's and the Sith will enjoy even more Hutt ball. Cant see it getting better as it seems people are actually re-rolling Sith now because finding groups takes ages and alot of the time can go days without finding one. Also the storylines and classes are better.. sigh cant really blame em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valtyr Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I agree, push this live ASAP as I am sick of getting /spit on by lamer 50s because a level 15 joined a queue that is an option for a game mode that both us pay for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MajesticCrawdad Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 This is very clearly a problem. We're no longer talking about a couple 50s here and there in beginner 50 gear. We're talking well geared squads of 50s absolutely dominating the field. It's terrible design, and it IS driving people away from PvP who "gasp" don't like being little more than fodder for someone else's commendation spree. PvP during the first two weeks of live was great fun. It's obvious why, everyone was more or less equal. BW is simply ignorant to think that a simple DPS/health boost to lower levels somehow normalizes more and improved skills as well as pvp gear. THIS ^^ I can't believe how few people subscribe to this opinion. I wholeheartedly agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeefEnchilada Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I agree. And for those lower populated servers just delay it for them. The rest of us need it now. And fix the fing bag issue. Worst. Design. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayestes Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I think it should be some feature that turns on automatically. If queue times are reasonable, switch it to a 50 bracket and 10-49 bracket. If queue times are unreasonable, switch it to both. I sometimes play in the dead of night, and I don't want to sit around for 30 minutes in between every game whether I'm 25 or 50.

Killer_Wonka Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Honestly I really like pvp but not against level 50 players. Not that I am saying you guys that have worked at getting your level 50 were it is now. I just can not compete against you yet. It is discouraging to us low levels to enter a war zone or anything else and not be able to really make it a challenge for ourselves. I would like to see a galaxy wide point system Republic vs Empire like I played in SWG it was fun and only really worked if you worked as a team. GCW (Galactic Civil War) even low levels could participate cause you worked as a team. Ask a former SWG player and you could get more insight on what was involved.

Valtyr Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Cross server WZs would fix the low population concerns that 50s are having. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clafoutis Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 (edited) To all complaining about queues for a 50's bracket today, it wouldn't have any with cross servers warfronts. It would provide far enough people, isn't it ? Edit : great minds think alike ;p Edited January 9, 2012 by Clafoutis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeterno Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 (edited) Wouldn't you be able to farm a fair head start? I mean worse comes to worse and cannot buy bags you can still be 1000/1000 commendations. ALSO bag drops are changing to be less pot luck so new 50's might have an easier time gearing up than you think. Well I sure hope so, I just dinged 50 today, bought 3 bags and have a grand total of 9 centurion commendations to show for it, cant even buy one piece of gear with that. Rolled 3 matches for kick and got face kicked in by decked lvl 50 premades. So yea, gonna PvE for a while in the hope those guys get tired of pwning before I try my luck with a WZ again later tonight. If I had only a 50s bracket to look forward to... ouch. I think my lvl 20 alt is gonna get a whole lot more lovin in the future heh. I'm just gonna say it, I hope Illium is still gonna have some way to cheese it for commendation and easy gear. Cos this way I see a lot of new PvP careers ending prematurely LOL. Edited January 9, 2012 by aeterno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
