DarthKeredias Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I've heard a lot of talk around the forums but it's kind of scattered and confusing, is BW getting rid of Ilum for good or are they just removing the PVP incentive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry but I cannot fulfill your link fetish, it's just they talked about "removing" something from Ilum at Guild Summit but their statement is very vague and I just want to know what this entails.

Ozzone Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 (edited) Who knows what the future holds for Ilum. One thing I do know, is they are doing their best to keep people away GRADUALLY and allow it to die on it's own right now. Typically on a Tuesday (weeklies) on my server there's a large amount of players running around Ilum getting weeklies/dailies done. This morning, there was only a handful looping mid for crates. Is it dead? No. Did I stay? No. Edited March 6, 2012 by Ozzone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tahyri Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 It's being redesigned in order to be objective based, in the mean time, it's just not being incentivized as much. http://www.darthhater.com/articles/swtor-news/19973-guild-summit-stream-live-blog/page-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obiwansghost Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Kills (opposite faction) in warzones now count toward your ilum dailies. Ilum is being redesigned, no word on what that will be or when. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarrot Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 (edited) In 1.2 (I think) the daily and weekly in Illum are being removed (and I believe kill valor as well). They have found that: 1) These are the largest source of frustration for many. 2) The greatest source of PvP exploits They have stated it will still be open for PVP and they plan or rethinking open world PvP and releasing something in the future.

Urael Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 (edited) You make it hard to like you. If you would learn to be explicit in your writing and not post questions that are vague in the first place it would make it easier for people to help you.

Tarka Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Gabe said that they are redesigning Ilum PVP. But in the interim they've made some changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthKeredias Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 Gabe said that they are redesigning Ilum PVP. But in the interim they've made some changes. So basically it's a big overhaul, I see. That brings a lot of clarification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badseed Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 (edited) pretty sure they said they're going back to the drawing board in 1.2 . and the changes/date are TBD...but 1.2 kills Ilum, it will be nothing more then a place to go for world PVP .. w/ Lava and Creepers and mario kart racing ...

spicycookie Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Valor will be used as a prestige, kinda like the number of years you been working.. you get senority. So when someone see's WOW your a War Hero or a Warlord, you know that person either spent a lot of time PVP on that toon and makes you wonder if they got any sunlight at all. In 1.2 (I think) the daily and weekly in Illum are being removed (and I believe kill valor as well).

Grotpar Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 theyre turning it into a huge race track where we will play mario kart SWToR style .. That would actually be awesome. Well, as long as the daily attached to it isn't "win a race". Because even with 5 people doing it, it's going to be frustrating as hell to get a win out of it.

jgoldsack Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 (edited) Kills (opposite faction) in warzones now count toward your ilum dailies. Ilum is being redesigned, no word on what that will be or when. This is incorrect. Currently each Warzone you complete counts 3 credits towards the Ilum dailies. Nothing to do with actual killing of players in WZ. So you need to complete 10 WZ to get all 30 for the Ilum daily. Wins or losses, it doesn't matter.

Zarrot Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Yep, back to the drawing board is the key phrase they used. Yeah, it was a nice idea but faction inbalance, server pops, and the general nature of players to exploit any system hurt it. It was suppose to be about taking objectives and not crates and real PvP not kill trading but it failed so they are going to re-build it. I prefer that. It nice to have a company admit their mistakes and say we screwed this up so rather than leave a bad buggy exploitable mechanic we are going to pull it and redesign.
