Epicycle Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 So I see a few theories: 1: You get kills until a random unverified amount then you need to die to get more. 2: You need to do a large amount of damage to the target to get any credit. 3: The kill reset timer has be increase dramatically. Add some more to the list. We need to test these theories since this seems to be a bit of security through obscurity. Ether way, doing random, mystical, changes to core mechanics of an entire zone with a single 1 line patch note reeks of armature. So Bioware, give us the valor rules, what are the conditions to get valor from a kill. You absolutely need to be able to answer that question clearly or you will fail. 1. for sure NOT because i died 3 times, killed about 40 reps total and got ZERO kills counted 2. for sure NOT because i killed some solo 3. maybe maybe not an official statement would be fine...

Bigtarr Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I'll agree on the latter, it would be nice to have more clear patch notes in the future. I WOULD AGREE WITH YOU. The patch notes suck! They pretty much tell you nothing. Give more information. If I click on the launch pad link to read more than provide more detail. Do not give me the same stupid summary you just had on the launch pad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcerLerxt Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Bad enough that the bug is there, but the fact that it wasn't adequately tested before release is the real problem. Where's the QA fellas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonewild Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Sounds like someone didnt proof the code before pushing it live, and the perameters far extend what BW intended. I hope there is a hot fix on the way for this issue BW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scalare Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Not getting ANY credit at all, still at 0/150 and 0/3 after over an hour in Ilum. FIX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakedpotter Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Again, false. Go to Ilum. Kill 1 person. Doesn't count. Bug. Thx for being an *** though and bumping the thread again. Lofty tears. God this is one miserable community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abelf Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 We as the forum going community need to know more information before flipping out on Bioware. I need very little info to rage with the entirety of my being. L2QQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archaar Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 It is currently bugged in some way. Today we were on Ilum, being camped in our spawn like normal, once the majority of the Imp zerg had completed their weekly, their numbers started to thin and we pushed them back. All through this process, multiple players were reporting that they were not getting valor for kills, people in the ops group, in my guild, outside the ops group, same thing. We were fighting all across the map and pushed the imps to the central area, we even wiped them a few times with the entire ops group complaining that they only saw one maybe two valor messages pop up after a full Imp wipe. It is most definitely NOT working correctly. It's inconsistent, sometimes dying / re-logging fixes it for a minute or two but something is definitely wrong.

adrenalinee Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 LMAO The safeguards against valor exploits mean you get no valor at all. One safeguard covers EVERYTHING! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scavage Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 (edited) Confirm same for Niman server. Been running round killing at the Republic Base, all the control points and nothings updating. I believe armaments are still updating the quests, but due to the massive faction imbalances that havent been addressed the Imperials as per normal are reaping the benefits of yet another **** bioware patch. Your game was bad enough to begin with and your patchs are just making it even worse :/ Edited February 7, 2012 by Scavage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owlcapwned Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 LMAO The safeguards against valor exploits mean you get no valor at all. One safeguard covers EVERYTHING! If you coders can write code screw everyone....sounds about right. A casual player will have to spend a week just to do the daily and a month for the weekly, sounds like a winner Bioware. There is not predictable way to get a kill count in Ilum as far as I can tell from the previous 7 pages of post. It is NOT OUR JOB TO FIND OUT "THE NEW SECRET". If they have changed the way we recieve credit this post it in the ....hmmmmmm let me think of a good place......OH YEAH!!!! the PATCH NOTES!!! I think all players whom tried the BETA test of ILUM on the LIVE servers should recieve a gift for doing Biowares work for them. I get paid to do good work and I am paying Bioware coders to do good work. in the future BIOWARE --- DO NOT PATCH A BROKEN PATCH. *if this is working as intended, consider my subscription cancelled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigtarr Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Isn't the whole point to fight and control the battle points. imp, northern, central, southern, Rep. Therefore, from my understanding if you fight AT those points you should have no problem. This keeps you from camping a medical or base spawn! Is that how the Ilum zone is suppose to work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kloned Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 The Swiftsure Killed solo, in groups, 1v1, 2v1, 5v5, etc. In ops, no group, spawn points, north central and south. not a damn one counted. started talking to the pubes, they were not getting anything counted either, an hour of picking up arms, got my weekly and ****. Sent in a ticket. Im sure they have a few by now, not that they read them anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choppinrockz Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 (edited) We just had this issue occur on Nadd's Sarcophagus. This is the second time this has happened on our server. The first time it only happened on our server unless someone could confirm it happening earlier. We were able to get credit until approximately 6:30 AM PST. From 4:30 AM PST to 6:30 AM PST several guildies were able to complete their quest and receive valor. PLEASE LIST WHAT SERVER YOU ARE ON IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE TL; DR - This only happened to the Nadd's Sarcophagus server. The last time it happened was on 1/30/12 and lasted around 14 hours. EDIT Thread from 1/30/12 for reference ^ Confirmed. BTW if you have a 3to1 population imbalance, controlling mid to loot armaments against your how ever big raid you are in, is NOT fun.... Its BROKEN.

-COBRA- Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 im done with this **** really, no point on being on ilum unitl they fix this. Players reported that when servers just came up after patch players awarded valor, now they dont anymore.
