OldManRelic Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 So, we have these nifty Valor levels -- what's the point of them? Unlike DAOC or WAR (for example), the valor ranks don't add anything to my character. It's all gear based. So...why have Valor at all? I for one would be a much happier person if your PvP power were determined by Valor, and Valor, in turn, took longer to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFreshBrew Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 because at valor level 60 gear becomes even more important. You won't even need skills at valor 60, just the gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldManRelic Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 Sure, okay. But just make the gear hard to get -- why have Valor as a requirement at all, if it's the gear that matters? I hated it in RIFT, I hate it here, and I'd like a system that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My biggest problem with the valor system is it doesn't mean anything to me personally. Some kid was spouting off about his high valor level and everyone was like pretty cool. Then I happen to be in a WZ with same kid twice in one night and he's just afking through WZ. Valor is a pointless stat that is the epitomy of grinding, and once you do get up to max level you get a cool title that all the afkers already have and that tells nothing about your pvp abilities. Maybe it's just me but a PvP stat should reflect your PvP abilites (dmg you do, heals you do, objectives you capture/defend) not how much time you sat in a WZ regardless of what you were doing.
