ironmb Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 3 Battlemaster Comms out of 21 bags. This is obviously not broken in any shape or form. The only 3 battlemaster commendations i have gotten were from pre-patch. This new patch is just eating away my dignity of playing this game. Every day its the same thing, log on do dailies, open bag, champion commendations. It's sad when 2 of my companions are fully geared in champion gear and i have 1 piece battlemaster gear. The PVP loot system after rank 60 needs to change. The theory "1 out of 4" should hold a BM Commendation is false, and very misleading. I honestly give this 2-3 more weeks because with this luck it makes me not want to play this game in this state(no not a threat just very frustrating when BM gear is unobtainable).

HelinCarnate Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 1 out of 4 is an average over time. Open 20000 bags and then if you still have the same average then it is an issue. Random is random. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZDProletariat Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 So you have had a 17% of getting a commendation so far. When it's 25%. But you've only opened 21 bags. The more bags you open, the higher your percentage of getting a commendation will be as. This is very simple probability here. The bigger your sample pool, the closer it will be to the given probability. I do wonder though. How many were you actually expecting so far? 10? 15? 20?

Kemiho Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Those guys never played SWG and unlocked their Jedi slot before NGE... Damn it was a half-of-a-year-grind to get it... Now people want everything immediatly >.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now people want everything immediatly >.< Maybe what he wants to express is, that the game lacks some kind of indication of progress? It is frustrating to do the same thing over and over again without getting ANY reward. It would be better to get a steady amount of rewards so you can see you'll reach your goal.

Gankdalf_ Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 When I played wow you had to farm the bg every day or your rank dropped. This was changed because people started leaving the game, same thing is happening here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VertisReaper Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 25% means that if I open a bag 4 times, there is a 100% chance that my 4th bag has a 100% chance of dropping a commendation. You guys are all bad at math and the game is bugged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOOMOCTAGON Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I've opened 3 weeks worth of bags which is about 16 per week. Thats a total of 48 bags and up until 2 days ago had only gotten 4 bm comms. Now lets say 50 bags and 6 comms total. So ya totally f'n frustrating.

Yuuj Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Why can't I have a full set of gear right NOW? >( Bioware. What the heck? Seriously. Do you want people to continue PvPing? Because if they actually have to invest time into something to get the rewards they aren't going to. When will you learn that the only way to satisfy your community is to give them everything right away? God, go back to Dev school noobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varteras Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 When I played wow you had to farm the bg every day or your rank dropped. This was changed because people started leaving the game, same thing is happening here. People are leaving because they can't switch advanced classes. People are leaving because PvP gear progression is whack. People are leaving because there aren't 5 raids for endgame at launch. People are leaving because of the action bar. People are leaving because there are no mods or macros. People are leaving because high-res textures are not in the normal gameplay right now. People are leaving because there are no guild functions. People are leaving because some classes are horridly imbalanced. People are leaving because space combat sucks. People are leaving because a feature they want in the game wasn't added yesterday. Yet last night my server was full as were two others. Some were very heavy. A few more were heavy. Over half were standard. Maybe a fifth of them were light. Was the same way last week and the week before. I must be color blind and not know how to read. Sorry. I don't mean to pick on you but this whole "the sky is falling because I said it is" crap is getting old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironmb Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 Obviously some of you kids didn't graduate school. I haven't received one commendation mark AFTER PATCH. I got mine prepatch. Learn to read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotardNosef Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Still beats killing Baal 100,000 times in the hope he drops a Griffons Eye Diadem that isn't ethereal and has at least mediocre stats on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's another useless grind to keep the pvp crowd subbing. Farm the same 3 BGs, to get bags, that just MIGHT have a piece you need. That screams fun. Warhammer innovation right there.
