AzKnc Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 (edited) On my server empire just farms rep for a couple hours after the daily reset every day, pretty much every single one of them is rank 60 or above, even alts. Ilum is a total failure, it evolved from bad to worse to gamebreaking, cause when a faction is full of random battlemasters and the other isn't, even warzones become ****.. at least on your server they farm each other so there's plenty 60+ on both sides..

Jaiyne Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I haven't seen this on my server...yet. If I do, that will just be it. *** is the point when you're not actually playing the game? However, it almost pissed me off more to see the "your companion has been dismissed" spam. What an absolutely ridiculous bug. Fix your game BW. Most of us aren't here for the FPs!

Karandor Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 You guys don't have guilds? Get a group, kill the repubs while they try to farm the imperials. Glad that I'm on a server that is nice and hostile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyDiggler Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 heres how to fix this get rid of the pvp stat and all the bound weapons/armor crap and make people drop there loot when they die on illum.... problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halofax Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 The only way to fix pvp in every mmo out today is to take our stats and gear and make the entire game skill based. But that wont happen because people need "rewards". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treplos Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 (edited) From someone who is 29k valor away from rank 60, I feel cheated as well, having grinded my way so far in Warzones. Even the occasional skirmishes in Illum over dailies results in me/our group not even getting credit for most of the kills, many are assuredly unique kills. I will even say that I asked someone from the other faction to test this kill swap with me, as I was curious if it even works. After about 30 minutes of attempts, I had gotten 2 kill credits and like 240 valor lol and then said "frak that", and went back to compete with another 40 roaming people in center over collecting a few boxes. PVB (Players vs Box), the latest BW invention. Edited January 31, 2012 by Treplos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimasteraxel Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 On Lord Praven Imps just sit mid all day and spam armaments. Literally, ALL day. Good job on the fix bioware, let imps keep flooding into Ilum world pvp, well just sit here and take it i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultrazen Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 The problem is, the Genie is already out of the bottle. There are numerous exploits that are rampant and widespread, and nothing short of a huge rollback and reset is going to fix it at this point. I'm not sure BW *could* fix the problem in any meaningful way. I'm not sure what the percentages are of people that have abused game mechanics, but I'm fairly sure that it's a substantial portion of the playerbase. This isn't one of those problems where 1 % of your playerbase is abusing a mechanic and you can reign it in. On a side note, this game is seriously hosed for the long term, in a number of ways.

GameNirvana Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 PvP people don't care about grinding. That's why they do this. We just want the best gear so we can fight everyone. Let everyone farm their way to battlemaster, then the fighting will get really fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YamamotoRo Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I was valor 64 before Ilum patch. Honestly, even if you think you pvp what you do its not pvp, no matter how badly you think you pvp. All you do is pay 15E per month to fool around in game. l2p kids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nocadoj Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) It is too late to fix at this point. Everyone and their momma is Battlemaster. Illum is the worst attempt at OWPvP design I have ever seen. Rated Warzones is the only thing to look forward to right now.

Adzzy Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) if you were doing it right, you'd do it inside a control point and trade the control point before each farm to maximise your bonus.... To be honest, i wish people would name their servers if this occurs, that way we can start a giant petition to put them into their own battlegroup when x-server happens lol Edited February 3, 2012 by Adzzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoLFpwr Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) Now guess who is going to get rating in BW's next failed attemp at fixing pvp lol WTG ! A new warzone too ! yay ! takes your eyes off ilum for a few mins right ! so much win in this move ! Edited February 3, 2012 by WoLFpwr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaed Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 They need to remove bonus valour for kills entirely and have an event every 30-60 minutes in which people can earn more valour, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slurmez Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Do you even realize how much valor is required for level 60? No one got Battlemaster in a day, per your implied point. They may have farmed kills and supplemented in a way outside of the design, but let's not try and make a point seem larger for dramatic effect. see you say theres no way to get to 60 in a day but getting to 60 is nothing compared to getting rr100 in warhammer online. As warhammer online deteriorated into effluence and there was nothing to do thanks to the pie loving Carrie Gouskos, I farmed one of my wifes characters for 7 hours and got to rr92, 100 was easily possible if I didnt become so bored Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMar Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 The reasons why I believe this is harmful: First, it's going to kill player retention. It's like using a cheat code and beating a game. If there is no longer any goal to strive for, what do you think is going to keep pvpers in a game? They will do dailies and that's probably it. I wish all you part time PVPers would just go away. There is no beating the game when PVP is the game. PVPers do it to, wait for it, PVP! People who actually care about PVP don't do it to gear grind or reach some "beating the PVP game". I log on and I PVP because that's what I enjoy, getting new gear is just a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcooxe Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Bioware needs to make an example out of this people, fast and in a very public manner. If what you say is 100% accurate, I honestly feel...cheated. They were supposed to deal with those cheaters, but they haven't done ..... yet. They wrote a message 2 weeks ago about punishing cheaters, just to make sure legit pvp people would not cancel account. Nothing will change, PVP is terrible in this game. My 2 years old sister could think of something better than illum anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definity Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Will we see a ban hammer !!!! we are yet to see any ban waves for people exploiting so i dare say the people doing this just don't care what is reported as they think nothing will get done ( I hope they are wrong ) If something is not changed in how people like this are dealt with the exploiting in mass will never stop. I needed two ranked to hit 60 yesterday and i grinded it out took me around 8 - 9 hours with Illum and WZ's. But hey now i'm 60 i have no reason to go to Illum lag fest apart from to get 30 kills each day ( 15 minutes easy ) I will say once more i REALLLLLYYYYYY hope something is done to people like this and my faith in BW code of conduct can be restored. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riulassher Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) BM gear would be worthless if I didn't learn to play the class properly. That Battlemaster title should be backed up by the combat experience and proficiency of a "battlemaster". Maybe other players are natural geniuses able to use their class to its fullest potential right from the beginning, but I am more than happy to learn my class through hard work, mistakes and experimenting with tactics and builds. Only real fighting will help me to get there. Kill trading is for scrubs. Edited February 3, 2012 by Riulassher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
