Kirbyg Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 How can you tell how much valor everyone gained? You're rumor mongering. Because I went to the zone and did it? Good try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seattlite Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Hello everyone; I wanted to update you on the issues we’ve been seeing today on the live servers, specifically within the Open World PvP area on Ilum. We’re aware that on some servers, either Republic or Empire groups have been capturing the Ilum control points, entering the enemy’s base and ‘camping’ the medcenters, preventing the opposite faction from leaving their base to recapture control points. This is not a fair or balanced gameplay experience and can also severely affect client performance, so we’re taking steps to address this. Our intended design for Ilum Open World PvP is that players are instantly killed when entering the enemy’s base safe area, just like in Warzones, and that the defending faction can take taxis to other points within the zone. As of Game Update 1.1, this is not working as intended. We have found the issue preventing this from happening under server load and will be publishing an Emergency Patch to address the issue. We’re aiming to have this patch published early tomorrow morning (January 19th, 5 AM US CST). In addition to these changes, we’ll be reducing the population cap on Ilum. This should help increase performance by requiring your client to render fewer characters on-screen at once. Regarding Valor gains, with the 1.1 update, players now receive a base reward of 20 Valor per unique enemy player defeated in a short time, and this base reward is modified by the number of objectives that the player’s faction owns. The gains are rate limited per player killed, encouraging players to attack unique players, not to pursue vendettas. The Valor gains players can see over time will vary greatly depending on the activity level in the zone. This is expected. To dispel a couple of rumors that have been seen today – there is no Valor gain from destroying turrets within enemy bases, and none from killing NPCs. We encourage players to avoid Ilum until our patch is deployed. As a temporary measure we will be disabling taxi services which would normally take players into the Open World PvP area. However, players will still be able to taxi out of the area. We will continue to monitor Ilum across all servers and will make further changes to gameplay if required. We welcome your feedback here on the Forums, but please ensure your feedback is constructive and specific. Feedback based on rumor does not help us isolate potential issues. Un. Farking. Believable. No rollback? You pretty much just killed your PvP endgame, Gabe. Hell, you may have just signed TOR's death warrant in refusing to acknowledge the fact that you have rendered Valor grind meaningless. I'm at a loss for words right now. I had faith in you, BW. I really did. I don't anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twin Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I can tell that BW have some of the best decision-makers in the world! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geUber Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 No rollback? Well thats that. The leveling up was actually awesome, WZ's and the pvp system in general were pretty awesome outside of a few major issues. This however is unacceptable. I took 5-6 days of gametime to grind battlemaster. That time and effort has been thrown away for nothing. I will not support a POS company that will throw my time investment away in the blink of an eye. You will never see me again. This. Thanks for letting me reach the Game Over screen before I had to pay for another month at least. GG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orrow Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 They got valor for killing players why would they roll that back. They should roll back all the lowbie Warzone farming valor first then . . . seriously? Because they were exploiting unintended game mechanics by spawn camping. That's why we need a roll back.

Leefn Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Thank god (devs) for emergency patch tomorrow for this problem... A videos says more than words: Suggestions: Decrease valor gain when in a ops grp by A lot. Split valor gain by ppl in a grp (if they're close to the kill). Most valor gain should be from a solo kill. -This will make ppl want to go in small grps or solo to pvp.. which, imo, is the most fun. Fix the problem with daily / weekly quest not updating allthou you killed someone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FtenEQ Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Sorry BW, I'm not unsubbing but without a rollback, there goes probably a good 20% of the Republic players left who did not outright cancel after this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reruro Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Yeah you killed lowbies you are so awesome. They should roll you back first Both factions had equal access to 'killing lowbies'. One side getting steamrolled to the point of having to log off isn't fair, period. Rollback or unsub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idockdudes Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 It wasnt a horrible response from them. The bigger issue was people spawn camping bases and the lag. I think the amount of Valor gains were exaggerated and even if it wasnt who cares. As long as no exploit was involved. I say that and I got to 60 last week.

Brimestar Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Still doesn't address the issue of the ppl who exploited their Valor to 60 or higher. So, is this amnesty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
