Arlette Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 How to fix this? Simply add K/D ratio, or different kind of stats simple why fix it? It's working as intended and they just told you black on white (actually it's orange on black) that IT IS LEGIT. Go get your BM title before they take a 180 and come up with another idea.

In other words, do it but don't post youtube videos about it. Though I highly doubt they banned them, EA will be disappoint! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnubisXy Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Same thing happened in Warhammer. You'd expect that since the same team that designed that game was largely in charge of the PvP in this one, they'd, I dunno, have planned things differently?

rzrknight Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 BW is a joke not a company , then again i always knew this. Thank you gods everyday you get to make a SW game BW cause without this mark you would be with 0 players by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominemesis Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 This is a great day for everyone that hates pvping but still wants pvp gear for some reason! This is the paradox i apparently do not understand... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebaldwin Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 First off what are they supposed to do? You are asking the company to moderate morality, which is rediculous. All they can do is present you with the mechanics, there is a limit to what can be controlled. We all know what was intended (grind or not we know). It's the end game in this game right now the end game consists of trying to 'earn' the end game gear. The only value in doing it is to say "I DID IT." Sploiting your way to it is the video game equivilent of making out with your sister. Yea she's got a nice basket of goodies, but it's frowned upon in most states. Telling everyone the true story of your conquest in either scenario is equally disturbing! So Bioware needs to tell the OP not to make out with his sister. Got it...

Comar Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Well this happens when your pvp system is flawed: no K/d ratio, no loss of pvp rank when getting killed, buggy mission updates, champion bags with dozens of duplicaes and a crazy grind to valor 60 (from lvl57 to 60 you need like 126k valor or about 126 warzones if you are good).

All they can do is present you with the mechanics, there is a limit to what can be controlled. Well, exactly, it would be ridiculous to moderate it. But I completely understand why some people would want to partake in it. If you only get to play an hour or two a day, you're gonna be stuck at lvl 50-59 valor for months and by the time you get your first piece of bm gear, there'll be a better set available. But I also see why people would frown upon it, because it is kinda taking the easy way out. At the end of the day, some blame has to be placed on the design of Ilum and/or the lack of other noteable PvP features that have been mentioned, like a K/D ratio. I'm not one to preach design ideas, but I will acknowledge that this isn't an optimal open world PvP system atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebaldwin Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 It's got the feeling of a rushed solution that was tacked on. (which it probably was) I am of the more Libretarian leaning in MMO's. As long as your fun doesn't inturrupt my fun I am really unintrested in what 'rules your break'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd expect that since the same team that designed that game was largely in charge of the PvP in this one, they'd, I dunno, have planned things differently? That entire team should have been shown a pink slip after the terrible pvp design they implemented in WAR. Instead, they were allowed to work on Bioware's pvp system. Awesome, and the fact that they have implemented some of the same failed and terrible ideas from WAR in this game, despite a mass exodus of players after launch who told them they hated those systems, priceless.

Torcer Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I call FAKE .... The grammar on that CS response is horrid ... "you guys", really? Not to mention that run on sentence that is the middle paragraph. Nice try though! In my experience, customer support always has impeccable grammar.

MorgonKara Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 So basically people can fight club their way to the highest PvP ranks by farming each other on Ilum? What happens when players that aren't in the club show up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asurai Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Juggernauts should love huttball with their three leaps. That map is pretty much made for their class since all they have to do is chain leap frog for a win, and if they can't do it they might as well reroll. yes of course we love huttball vs class with knockback.. yesterday in a huttball game i was thrown down the pit 5 TIMES in a row; everytime i got back i got pushed down again; really fun!

K/D ratio is unfair to support classes. PvP rewards should be based on Warzones, becouse they are balanced. Forcing people to farm so called Open world PvP area is plain wrong.

Ethias Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I wouldn't really worry about what one CS says, there are also CS people who claim that pulling people to the start of warzones in Huttball to kill carriers is against the rules and an exploit but others say it isn't, so.

oblongship Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I was curious one day and submitted a ticket asking for clarification about valor "farming", this is what I got back: Beginning: http://i.imgur.com/sex0Y.jpg Middle: http://i.imgur.com/chI7l.jpg End: http://i.imgur.com/fOkN6.jpg If you want the explanation, it's in the middle image, the other two are given just to show I didn't somehow photoshop this. Anyways, if you were worried you would be reprimanded for trading kills on Ilum, it's not gonna happen, so get some friends together and feel free (remember, this is not referring to the base camping that occurred on Ilum immediately after patch 1.1, this is valor farming between two consenting parties). Perhaps this will make people less sheepish if they were thinking of doing this to acquire battlemaster. We can get into a whole discussion of whether, even though this is legit, it's the "right" thing to do as a player from an ethical view, but I'd rather save that for another time. Just pointing the whole situation out. Cheers As an aside, this is what valor farming entails: How much do you want to bet when a BW higher up sees this, that GM will get a stern talking to.
