Individual Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 (edited) Think the system works? I don't know what to do or say anymore. Just disappointed. I've opened 41 bags now and haven't gotten a battlemaster commedation. Edited February 9, 2012 by Individual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodAres Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 commidations don't exist, that's probably why you want commidations, go to the holiday inn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ortof Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Think the system works? I don't know what to do or say anymore. Just disappointed. I've opened 41 bags now and haven't gotten a battlemaster commedation. I've bought probably 200+ lottery tickets in my life. I have yet to win the jackpot. Is it broken or do people not understand the rule of chance and percentages? Just because you have a 1 in 10 chance of winning doesn't mean that if you buy 10 tickets you "will" win on one of them. Sorry for your luck OP, I really am, but it's a lottery. Either you get lucky or you don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acelesson Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 The game recognizes when you play exhausting sessions (over 5 hours at a time) and will not award you with battlemaster tokens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElCapitaan Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 A game is designed according to code. If BW wanted to fairly distribute tokens for gear, they can code the the game to do so. However, leaving getting Battle gear as a mere outcome within the laws of probability is, in my humble opinion, a poorly designed system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElCapitaan Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 (edited) Yeah, that 2% stat buff is breaking things. It does not matter if it's 2% or .05%, or whatever. Those are merely arbitrary numbers to begin with. If a person works for something, puts in the time, it should pay off. Unlike life, and this obviously just a game, it should have a payoff commensurate to the labor/time you put into it. Now that does not mean that gear should be earned with ease, but to compensate people for spending a lot real life hours is wise; especially getting something that is merely made up of 0's and 1's. I don't think it will hinder/break the game if you come up with a better system for compensating for people for putting in the effort.

Gaeta Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 commidations don't exist, that's probably why you want commidations, go to the holiday inn Hotels don't offer commidations, they offer accommodations. If you're going to be a helpless P.O.S to someone, you could at least not do the same thing you're criticizing them for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This being the first, the second giving mickey mouse amounts of Cent and Champ comms to newbie L50s? Hit L50 after the bracket and been grinding for around 3 weeks, my mate hit 50 today and has the same armour as me i definitely don't feel like I've wasted ANY time fcking BW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adzzy Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 (edited) i believe they said that with the bm item costs then changing, that they wanted to space the bm changes apart from the champ/cent changes.

I don't think it should be easy mode to get the stuff either, but at the same time I have to watch as others get all their gear while I don't. Just frustraiting. I'd rather have to grind for it then use the system it's on now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
despised Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I havent gotten 1 damn battlemaster commendation in 2 weeks. With how my resolve bar has never worked....no credit for 10 warzone wins.....no credit for ilum kills yesterday it makes me wonder if they didnt screw up the drop rate on this too. 30+ bags and nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Individual Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 I'm thinking they're capping people off from getting the rest of their gear at this point. I don't know why else this woule be happening unless I'm bugged, but no one seems to know. I'd honestly like to know what the luck rate is for getting on at this point. Knowing the odds would be cool. Wait.... Never tell me the odds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jfawks Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 They say the drop rate for battlemaster commendations is 25% per bag. I myself am 1 for 16 over the last week which is 6.25% but this is the inherent problem with basing gear distribution around a rng. On average I'd imagine that it is close to 25% but that means some are significantly over and some of us are royally screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calitri Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Moral of the story, after you have a full set of champion. Stop PvPing if your just doing it for a gear grind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogmar Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Bad luck I guess. Went 0/6 past 3 days then got 2/2 today. Something similar happened when I hit BM as well, went like 0/12 then had a stretch of 5/7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
