Spyde Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) They are supposed to be making fresh 50's have a better chance vs a battlemaster. It is our intention to gradually, over multiple patches, reduce the impact of situational consumables on endgame combat resolution and shift the factors which determine the outcome of combat more towards personal skill. As part of this effort, specifically for PvP, we are also working on changes that will reduce the gear related power difference between new characters at level 50 and players in full PvP gear. We feel that at the current time, this difference is too high So what does this mean ? Over time they are going to make changes to make it better for fresh 50's. They are starting with patch 1.1.2 patch 1.1.2 notes. The number of commendations in Champion and Battlemaster Bags has been greatly increased, and the direct item trade tokens appear less frequently in Champion Bags. This change allows players to obtain PvP gear at a steady and significantly more predictable rate with an occasional bonus So 1.1.2 i get level 50, i have 6 bags from saving up. I buy my 6 Champion Bags I most likely would not have got crap for items and a small amount of Comms. Soon, you will get more comms per bag, to buy the T1 PvP Armor Faster. Rather then hoping and praying the RNG leans in your favor to get champion gear.. along with not getting 5 Champion helmets in a row. THIS IS A GOOD CHANGE. Before, T1 PvP set was flat out skipped as people instantly wanted T2 PvP Gear drops. Now, when you get Battlemaster, you can finish off your champion set rather fast, while the long grind for Battlemaster gear starts. So this is the start, of the Fresh 50's will have a better chance. So, all they need to add next is Crafted Expertise Items, Crafted Armoring Mods with Expertise, a Level 50 Blue set of pvp gear that costs a rather large amount that players can Farm while pvping from 10-49 and save up. If they do it correctly nothing gets nerfed for stats. Items ranks would go.. Crafted Armor and Mods Blue Expertise Gear from Warzone comms T1 PvP Gear T2 PvP Gear T3 PvP Gear Yes, the blue comm set should be better then crafted. Crafting is a dead art, Who would waste the time going for the Blue set, if they get to 50. Pay 5-10k per armoring for expertise and be set. Thoughts ? Are people once again over reacting ? Are the Changes to make fresh 50's already right in front of us with the 1.1.2 changes ? Edited February 2, 2012 by Spyde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodtau Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I fear this "fix" will break an already fragile pvp player base. You need to cater to all kinds of players for a successful game and not make people feel alienated. I can see this game slowly getting emptier and emptier in the next short few months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tavox Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 ya I am not happy with these notes. Going to take long to get gear?? I have now opened 45 straight Champion bags without a single item! It's going to be longer than that??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spyde Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 I fear this "fix" will break an already fragile pvp player base. You need to cater to all kinds of players for a successful game and not make people feel alienated. I can see this game slowly getting emptier and emptier in the next short few months Did you even read ? its not a fix that will hurt current players. It will allow people farming Champion Bags to get T1 pvp gear faster to compete. *Lower champion gear drop rates. *Battlemasters will still have an edge. Battlemaster gear will allow people to finish Champion sets faster. *Current Battlemasters that have the Battlemaster gear still has an Edge. Battlemaster gear bag drops have not been touched. All this change is doing, is making it easier to get T1 pvp Gear, harder to get T2 pvp Gear until Battlemaster. Which im glad, 200 bags later and people are setting with 5-10 Helmets or the same item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the comm drops are better, you would have more pvp Gear after opening 45 Bags in the new system then you would from hoping for RNG drops.
