Zaodon Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 (edited) The results are in: 1.1.5 is a success for PvP! Capping medals at 4 has completely revived PvP. Warzones popped constantly last night for 10-49 PvP, to the point that I couldn't really make progress on my questing because the pops were so frequent! 50 PvP was the same. Also, everyone in the warzone fought to the end of every match, every time, without a single exception. Absolutely, positively no "afk after 4 medals" B.S. was going on, proving that claim to be 100% false. Many new people were doing WZs (it was obvious), and there were definitely more healers in WZs.

_Morholt_ Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Same here in the 50 bracket. And the pop was higher than it usually is by a wide margin even with people constantly in a battleground. And even with lots of people off to play ME3 for a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, this has always been the case on 2 of my servers, so I don't see how just because it works for your server it means everything is 100% working exactly how they wanted. (immediate WZ queue pops) Also, just because your experience was with no one AFK'ing after 4 medals doesn't mean that is how it's going to be on all servers. I experienced this first hand in an Alderaan during my first queue, and then consistently after. Empire players used the grass turret as a place to camp after they got their 4 medals. I heard "well I got my 4" coming from people all night. Lots of people running against the wall. So, you cannot say 100% false.

dnomz Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I found myself to go AFK a couple of times already after 4 medals so really stop claiming it doesn't happen, do you play on all 100 servers this game has? The fact is, pre-1.1.5 people would just quit if they ended up in a group full of noobs and start Alderaan off with 3 turrets against. Now they take 4 medals instead and AFK the entire game cause really, whether you win or lose you still get 2000 free Valor and that's a nice amount.

spicycookie Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Same here... the PVP on our server is much better now. Pre 1.1.5 ... many players would give up in pvp. I guess the triple valor plus double rewards and the fact that you get credit for battle of ilum daily / weekly has revived Warzone PVP. It's been a stunning success.

You can't prove the NON-EXISTENCE of something, you can only prove the EXISTENCE of something. The onus is on the person CLAIMING that people afk after 4 medals. I need not prove a thing.

LatinLegacy Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Huge improvement on the republic side for the Shadowlands server. Warzones pop either instantly or under a minute. A lot of republic players doing PvP now. Also, with the news of the Legacy system sharing buffs among all classes, a lot less sorcerers have been appearing in level 50 Warzones so that is an added bonus. Since it got annoying going up against 4-6 Sorcs per match for the past month. Those players are most likely leveling up their alts . -LatinLegacy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The games I've played regardless of whether it's Empire or Republic, the losing team just rolls over after they've gotten their 4 medals. You get like... 2500 valor and 75 commendations for losing, and 3000 valor 95 commendations for winning. Talk about a participation award... Not only that, but many people get less commendations per game, since you only get 4(8) medals. I used to average 100-120 commendations a game (win or loss) and haven't really come close to that.

This is false. Screenshot/fraps, or you're just making stuff up. No one has "rolled over" and just lost matches since the patch. That is complete horsecrap.

Just because you personally haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't happen to others. Again, 100% false. There are no such thing as "4 medal AFKers". This is a made up thing. People (like you) are just pissed at being capped at 4 medals, and are QQing about it by making up a FALSE claim that there is a new "4 medal afker" epidemic in the game, when the FACT is there is NO SUCH THING. Again, FRAPS IT or it didn't happen. If its sooooooooooooooooo common as you claim, a fraps should only take a few minutes to produce and post, right? RIGHT?!

Thundartwothree Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 This patch has improved the play on my server aswell. Even that small incentive of winner over losing has created a much better WZ experience for me and with the discustions from Gen. chat last night the PvP community on my server aswell. Yes, I did witness 2 different afk's after those people recieved their 4 medals last night, but this is what vote kick will be for in 1.2(Its only a few weeks away) So I can put up with it now. On a side note, I've also noticed that several people I've reported as using hacks are no where to be seen in the last week(Hopefully this will be the same accross all servers soon) so there is atleast an effort to stop this behaviour.

You can easily fraps people NOT afking, just as easily as you can fraps people afking. No offense, but you're kind of stupid. How would a fraps of 1 match (or 5, or 10) prove that NO MATCHES ANYWHERE have afkers? Answer: it wouldn't prove anything. However, just *1*, ONE, A SINGLE VIDEO of someone afking after 4 medals would prove it exists. Try not to post about issues you don't understand.

EternalFinality Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Alderan is crazy now. Instead of holding side turrets the entire game there was actual back and forth ninja cap craziness going on. PvP is definitely improved for the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't ask you to disprove afking. I asked you to prove a warzone with all 16 players participating. I think you are the one who does not understand. Infact this entire thread is kinda stupid. You know what's really stupid, trying to claim that nobody has AFKed in all servers in the past 1.5 days. I wonder who did that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OeSan Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 How mature. I see where the ability to debate ends. I've been playing WZ's nonstap since the patch and have yet to see any increase in AFK's at all. in both the 1-49 and the 50 bracket. As a matter of fact, I've yet to see ONE afker who just decided to not try after 4 medals. I honestly dont believe the OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
