Stradoo Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 (edited) Guess they're making it much easier to rank up Valor wise. At least I can say I did it the hard way. A guaranteed 2000+ valor per WZ... insane in mah membrane! Catch up all you silly Repubs - The nasty Sith need a beating.

Read the bolded section. 40 WZ coms per match now... that is all. edit: I do love everything else though. 2k valor per match will be really really nice.

Goodbye medal farming. All in all, I think they're good changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teabaker Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Lol. Ilum is now completely dead. Seriously, they just removed Ilum. Crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nastynas Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 So, I guess Ilum will just rot until they rework it in a later patch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stradoo Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Good. Ilum sucks. LOL. I actually just had some pretty good performance outta Ilum last night. It does kinda suck though.

cycao Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 oh i may have misread the post. Only 40 comms each match? that cant be right it would take 1,000 warzones to get 1 bm comm? am i reading this right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowOfVey Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 It's nice getting more valor and all but kinda disappointing that there's no real reason to go for medals now. Added a neat "side game" to pvp that gave it a little extra depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audenlol Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 This is a PTs patch only right? Meaning its not on live? I am more excited about the new crystal vendors. Black n yellow ftw. If I can find them on the fleet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 40 comms each match? that cant be right it would take 1,000 warzones to get 1 bm comm? am i reading this right? Right now you get 5 comms per medal I think. That's just from medals, you get some comms just for playing too (and more for winning). Basically if you get 4 medals in the future it'll be like you got 8 now, at least regarding commendations. Good or bad depending on how well you did on medals previously, overall doesn't really change much.

andysdead Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Only earning valor for first 4 medals? That seems kind of lame, doesn't it? What's the point of even attempting to get more medals, then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AstralProjection Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Lol. Ilum is now completely dead. Seriously, they just removed Ilum. Crazy. Isn't that what half the people have been asking for all along? They should've done it sooner. I applaud the changes...make Ilum a place for organized RvR events instead of the massive, imbalanced valor farm that it is, which only benefits the overpopulated faction on most servers. Getting 200 valor/kill on a kill you tagged in Ilum was a lot more ridiculous than giving valor in Warzones, where you actually fought to kill the person. Now it's just easy valor for all...I'm picturing Gabe Amatangelo heading a Joker-style parade of floats filled with valor gas, dancing as he makes us all OD on valor.

It current equivalent is getting 8 medals. Edited February 28, 2012 by GenericallyNamed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
