somnang Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) I like how they're fixing stuff for healers. I'm a healer and we're finally get our due in pvp. It always sucks to be at the bottom of the medals chart even though we keep everyone alive to win/cap/etc etc The patch says that BM and Champ commendations area available via pvp vendors. Does this mean that we can trade in Champ commendations for BM tokens? Edited February 29, 2012 by somnang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abye Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) Battlemaster operative here, I like the changes - Medalfarming brought out the worst in people - On Ahto city reps only showed up at all at tuesday to farm the weekly, else it was player vs box if you wanted to do the ilum daily so good riddance Ilum - I myself am roughly at the targeted 25% rate for BM bags so far but the frustration must be enormous for the people with bad luck. except one: - I could harass a small group of baddies alone that tried to tag an objective, now I have to stay in the fray which makes it a lot more difficult.

sensiblepoast Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 As an open world pvp fan I mourn for the loss of ilum (and no, I don't really need to go for valor) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandMasterDarth Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I expected them to add new gear or something, not making the top gear easyer to get, i mean once you have it... what will you do? Unsub and try to get in the GW beta and find single player game to play untill it comes out is my answer... Me and most of my guild have almost full rakata and are bm`s(not all have full BM gear due to RNG) We wanted more content... not slapping us in the face by making everyone able to do 1/3 of the work we did to get the same results...

Do you know what happens right before new gear comes out in most MMOs? That's right, the old "top gear" becomes easier to get. But you can unsub because they're doing what you wanted them to, I guess.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you can unsub because they're doing what you wanted them to, I guess.... I can always resub when they add it... But they didn`t even say they are adding a new gear tier.... and this is from the guys who like to talk a lot about how polished and bugfree and exciting this game will be... Also it`s not like this change is the only reason, it`s this and the fact that there is nothing more to do... the same warzones over and over and now they just killed world pvp...

So you PVP for gear? Because gear will may you able to PVP to get more gear so you can pvp to get gear? But now you get all gear there is nothing to do... Poor kid.

But now you get all gear there is nothing to do... Poor kid. Name 1 thing that there is to do after you get geared...nothing. There's no incentive to PvP after that. It's not fun, the players are the worst I've seen in an MMO yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not fun, the players are the worst I've seen in an MMO yet. Then what is the point to pvp in the first place, because you will eventually gear. If you aren't playing for fun then why do it? Jesus the lot of you need to wipe your noses and go find something else to play. This game was created and directed at casuals, you will never find your endless grindfest or pro pvp/pve here.

There's absolutely nothing fun about PvP. The gear grind isn't fun. The games aren't fun. It's 3 WZs, they're poorly designed and the players are god awful.

hellczar Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 * Increased the Warzone AFK timeout from 60 seconds to 90 seconds. This is more of a bandaid fix to the stupid long "speeder ride" in Voidstar for the 1st defending team. They should have just removed the speeder ride. Zaodon , from the other thread that just got linked here, It wasn't Voidstar that was the issue the timer didn't start counting til you landed. Huttball was the primary offender the game would consider you in the match prior to the load screen being finished. Sometimes you had only 20 to 30seconds to run out of the backroom and if the blastshield was up you got booted before you had a chance to leave.

Tweete Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Mostly good changes but I thought the gear was already pretty easy to get. No matter how easy they make it people will still cry. 6 months from now you will see posts like "But why do I have to go all the way to the vendor guy to pick up the gear..why cant it just appear in my bag /sigh." Then when they have the gear and still lose "Why isnt there a handicap system that brings better players in line with people like me /cry." It never ends.
