Faeron Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 (edited) Spent me god knows HOW long to get 1k of each commendation and I can't even get a SINGLE PIECE OF GEAR WITH IT!? Is this how it's supposed to work? Is farming pvp gear really this tough? Because I've seen so many people with full sets of gear and they didn't seem to have so much of a problem with it.

Griminal Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Honestly I would take your situation instead of mine. 5 bags so far and 5 ear pieces. And no I'm not lying at all. RNG for PvP gear is stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leoxastarth Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Around 68 bags opened so far personally, out of 68, Ive had 1 leg piece, 7 relic pieces, and 1 implant piece. Almost have full centurion gear from commendations. Its just the way SWTOR is, luck is rewarded in this game, not skill, not effort, just pure luck. So yeah....Good luck!

Faeron Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 That's awesome, so basically its a complete waste of time trying to farm these bags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordLuxon Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 (edited) Doesn't change at valor rank 60 for BM either, so yea just gotta keep doing them everyday and hopefully you will get stuff you need. And I mean the rng part. Because you either get BM comms or you don't Edited January 28, 2012 by LordLuxon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leoxastarth Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 It is pretty much a waste of time yes, the only reason you want to farm these, is a) You think you have some lucky and might get lucky, or b) you just love SWTOR pvp that much that you dont care not being rewarded for your time spent PVPing or being pitted against people who have better gear than you because they rushed to lvl 50 when the drop-rate of the champion tokens was still high (It was nerfed last patch or was it the patch before? Cant remember, one of the patches nerfed the rate on getting tokens anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey_swtor Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I have opened 77 bags and have have all champ but my hands and my relics. I have got 11 implants, 3 bodys, 2 feet, 2 MH, 1 head, 1 leg, 1 bracer, 5 belts, 4 OH, 1 earpiece, 8 relics (Pre-1.1) so now I have to get them again cause I didnt save them and they magically became PVE relics.... Its a long haul man.. 5 bags aint **** bro.. Keep working at it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maniacal Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 This is literally unacceptable especially since Ilum is broken and we cant do **** on that gosh darned planet? This is game-breaking for me tbh and I'm so disappointed that level 50 was such a waste of effort to get to I feel you. : / Once I finally hit 50 on my main, the excitement lasted all of about a day. I went to a few alts, but since everything is more or less the exact same areas and quests it's all still fresh in my mind, and thus kinda boring. I ended up going to other games to pass the time. I did notice a few things from TOR that I didn't have in other games and kinda missed...for instance, the automatic de-snare at low level for PvP, competent ( sorta ) companions, and combat that doesn't boil down to me mashing 1 macro button nonstop. Of course, in exchange I did get free-roaming quest hubs, invigorating PvP, and the fun while leveling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayse Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Yup..it's a grind, and a horrible one. Personally i think the RNG system should go completely. After 19 empty champ bags i was just like...what..the hell.. Oh and it gets better when you are a battlemaster. 1-2 bags a day with what seems even lower drop rates than the champ bags. Been one since the 14th and got every daily/weekly bag up tot date and only 2 tokens then i look over my shoulder and see someone who just got BM a few days ago and almost full BM..Its a horrible system.

Faeron Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 I just dont know how Bioware couldve made such colossal mistakes that I am not (at 50) suffering from and wanting to go back to a game like Darkfall to pvp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimra Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 5 bags is a drop in the ocean. If any one thing makes me quit it will be this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faeron Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 Yeah I think I'm done with the game, went to Ilum and there wasnt **** there but Imperials camping us. This is ridiculous and Bioware won't see any change to its game for months so I'm probably going to go find another one. Sad it took me this long.

NegativeFaith Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Yup..it's a grind, and a horrible one. Personally i think the RNG system should go completely. After 19 empty champ bags i was just like...what..the hell.. I've opened 14 bags this week and nada in them. The RNG fix is easy, if they want it to have a drop rate of 10%, then code an array on our characters DB entry so on the 11th bag we actually get a piece of gear, I don't care if it is a dup or not. If you happen to roll lucky in the first ten bags, your chance resets. It's just a fail safe that ensure you get something after a period of time. If it's 5 percent, then you get one piece at least every 20 bags, etc. I've lost a couple friends who went back to WoW because 'their loot rules make sense'. Not sure if this is the case as I never liked WoW. I do know that they got home and bascially said "Whats the point, i'm probably not going to get anything anyway" which I don't think is what you want your player base saying. Now I know you guys spent a lot of money on the game and are trying to figure out how to nickle and dime your customers as much as possible, but if your player base loses it's expectation to acquire gear in a reasonable fashion, you will lose subs. You guys need to find the fine line between keeping the game eventful, but keeping players from logging off in disgust. Just making things hard to get isnt enough to keep players, you need to give them the feeling of progression WHILE you make things hard to get. Understand?

Smizing Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Yep. I'm done too. I refuse to do the Empire Indy-500 at Central in Ilum for 3-4 hours a day combined with wins not counting towards the daily's and the retarded randomness of champ bags. Terrible pvp system with no sense of progression and just filled with bugs and randomness. Good luck Bioware. Hope Mass Effect 3 is decent.

ericdjobs Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 First bag? Gloves Now, 36 bags later, I still have just the gloves. Don't believe me? Come ask my guild on Mandalore the Indomitable..

SolxTheUnmaker Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 When the **** will game designers learn that random SUCKS ***!!! Why are so many designers taking control away from the player, I just want to farm currency and then buy the gear that I WANT DAMN IT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faeron Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 The problem is that most other MMOs are **** too, I don't even get how they can screw up so perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merehim Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I'm 0 for 13 now. Combined with at least half of my wins not counting, and a terrible gear imbalance in 50 Warzones, I'm trying to find a reason to even log on. It's an absolutely terrible system. I could always level an alt but if this is what 50 pvp is about... no thanks. I wouldn't even pay the initial cost of the game let alone a subscription if I'd known. It isn't even fun. Really it's a frustrating grief filled experience. Good game bioware. I hit 50 and all I got was regret... I'd prefer a shirt at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DurdensWrath Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Damn, you're lucky. I figure at the rate I'm going in Warzones, I'll have my 3 wins for the daily in about a month. I keep getting terrible Huttball teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
