FearNight Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I'm having a hard time doing the PvP grind right now. Why should I work hard for Battlemaster gear when 1.2 will be offering a comparable set without the grind? Is there any point in PvPing before 1.2? Right now I'm just leveling up my alts until 1.2. Help me out, is there something I'm missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonoku Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Your not the only one thinking this, I'm thinking of not pvping also due to the imbalance. Improved better matchmaking in 1.2 will fix that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demarcc Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I've already just stopped PvPin. Rank 72 and I just decided it was not worth the irritation anymore. Hell these days I log on twice a week for raid nights and thats about it. Really hoping that 1.2 is the wonder patch that sorts all the issues I have with this game, If not .. well Tera hits in April Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FearNight Posted March 16, 2012 Author Share Posted March 16, 2012 (edited) Because its fun? True. But at the same time I feel like I'm wasting my time obtaining gear that I will just replace the day 1.2 rolls out. Leveling/PvPing on my sub-50 alts is a lot more fun.

Surgin Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Because its fun? Sad thing is... it really isn't anymore. I think its a combination of the absurd amounts of CC, Maps that love ranged, RNG Bags. I really should have rolled a sage/sorc instead I have 2 melee 50's and its just getting... blah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your still doing the champ grind (sub-60 valor) then yes I can see you point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't got a single BM comm either yet. *shrug* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flem Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 You want to lower your rating with a bunch of losses because you start off undergeared? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leveling/PvPing on my sub-50 alts is a lot more fun. Meh. I guess that's the difference then. I don't care one bit about the gear. When I can afford it, I buy it. It isn't really a grind to me. I play till I get tired of playing and then I go do something else. Sometimes I even forget to pick up my daily or weekly quest. I turn them in only when I happen to be on Fleet to turn them in. It probably helps that I don't have alot of time to play, so its really fun for me everytime I have an hour or two to just sit and play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SvnStrSlm Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I actually find PVP fun in Swtor. thats why i play.

Not sure what class you play, but as a post nerf conceal Operative I'm VERY gear dependent. I was getting facerolled until I got over 450-500 expertise. It was not fun one bit getting to that point either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kheldras Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Because its fun? This. At least sub 50 PvP is plain FUN. Plus, it helps with leveling. God i cant understand people who can be only bothered to PvP if someone dangles shinies in front of their face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But try PvP on your Scoundrel as an undergeared 50 and tell me how much fun it is then. You will be hitting like a wet noodle until you get your expertise up.

Took me till 72 to finish my battlemaster gear, although a fair amount of that was pre 1.1.5 so i could'ent buy comms until then (think i bought 2 to finish set?) The bags were really aweful to me I have 2 other 50's in the sub-60 valor ranks, just no great desire to gear them, I mostly only do Ops on those two.
