PostalTwinkie Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 This effectively reduces any potential pvp in this game to warzone matches. It's good in the sense that it's easier to get gear now and close the outrageous gap that exists, but it's bad in the sense that there's only going to be warzones. Let's be honest with each other, right now the only PvP in this game is in a WZ. You can't consider Ilum to be PvP when it consists of a zerg fest standing at the entrance to the opposing faction, hoping some scraps get tossed to them. What really killed open world PvP is the fact that BioWare segregated quest areas so heavily on planets. Hopefully this is fixed in later content releases.

FoxNemhauser Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 short question: are those champion commendations level gated? or someone below lvl50 can buy it as well? this would remove the problem of wasting warzone commendations for those that level mostly through pvp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets be honest here, head out the other side of the repub base (or speeder?!)and find fights that aren't a zergfest. I do it all the time. Ilum is terrible because players allow it to be so. It easier to farm your daily in a zergball at the base entrance so that's what happens. I assure you though, you can and do find even fights else where.

Hyppyrotta Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 (edited) Ilum should be made a large scale wz with 30v30 teams, the world pvp should be spread across the main cities (like there are any), so yes, world pvp is not there and the republic and empire players never meet in the leveling zones. Make the leveling areas cross at some point so players can meet the opposite faction players.... and for whiners like "I cant level up because I get killed" go choose a pve server. In uo the world pvp was perfect, you would never know when you are going to get into a fight but then they ruined it.

SirRobin Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 They need to take another page from WoW and add a dash of TM vs SS to TOR. The battles we had there in early WoW were epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyppyrotta Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 and instanced dungeons, wz and stuff makes the game look like a lobby game, it was so epic to kill bosses in uo with the price of couple of golden skulls with hundreds of players.

AetherMcLoud Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 These changes sound AWESOME! Ilum credits for playing warzones? Hell yeah. I hate Ilum. I actually like the dot and alderaan changes, but most of all I hope that with the change to medals and healers we (the imps) will actually have healers on our teams from time to time instead of having 0 healers 90% of the time going against rep teams of 2-3 healers all the time. The medal and valor changes are awesome. Suddenly non-tank non-heal classes (i.e. sniper and marauder) aren't the stepchilds of valor/commendations farming anymore. 1.1.5 can't come soon enough.

yukirshiro Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 (edited) How many comms for a win and how many for a lose? Unless it's a lot more than I recall this is a big nerf to commendation gain unless you're a baddy (or dedicated healer) who only got 4-5 medals. Right now I get an average 100 commendations per game. How many will I get after the change? Edited February 28, 2012 by yukirshiro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtongwa Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 * Alderaan Civil War: The speeder bikes that transport players back to the battle now have a three-second activation time to increase the likelihood that an organized attacking team can successfully take the side turrets. Makes it more interesting. Middle will again have some value. It gives options, and options are always good. I think you may be misreading this patch note. Seems to be talking about the speeders from the rez point ("back to the battle"), not the side turret speeders. Not sure how that is helpful to the middle.

dtongwa Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 ...It's highly helpful to middle. Before you took side speeders and you were instantly there. I am saying, the patch note doesn't say anything about changing the side speeders. It is talking about the rez point speeders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varicite Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Fair assessment of the situation, and I agree on most points. Someone already mentioned that the champ comm change is to allow people to get singles for gear if they happen to be 1 or 2 short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
