Cempa Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 (edited) I just got done playing a WZ. We lost that game but I had fun, played from start to finish. At the end I got 0 Credits -as in currency. I did however get 2,000 Valor points, not sure what use Valor is now but hay, I got something! BW announced as a PvP player I must PvE or stay broke.

Subatia Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 If you PvP exclusively, what do you need credits for? Credits are (mostly) for the PvE side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subatia Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 getting BiS pvp gear Didn't think of that. I guess OP could do like I do: run dailies WHILE being queued for WZ's. Unless he is afraid someone will take his spot standing around in the fleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troyh Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Well.. I would like to buy some WH Augmented gear.. whats that go for now days? About 250-500k a piece on my server.. Then some augments would be nice, I think they go for like 250k+ on my server. I will need to pull my mods out of my other gear, guess thats like what... 100k each piece. I was also thinking about leveling up an alt would be nice to have some cash for that. So what kind of dumb question is what do PVP players need credits for? Oh.. PvE has repairs to worry about.. was making 200k+ on your dailies not enough to cover this? How about Biofail fix the cost of repairs, not reduce the income of PVP players. IMHO. BTW. To get the gear and augment it your looking at over 2,000,000 credits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leveling an alt should, theoretically, cost nothing, since they will be earning their own money. I leveled my first character and had no problem with money. And yes, this was while keeping his crafting skill current. You can make 200,000 creds a day doing the dailies. And, as I can see, the repair cost is about half what it was. Options are optional.

About 250-500k a piece on my server.. 250k+ for augmented crafted armor pieces? I should be able to do some 200 for that price, if I had enough grade 2 mats...

troyh Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 WH = war hero. If you want to go cheap on the gear you can get low level augmented for 50-75k a piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiQuiDMDH Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Hate to say it, but if you want BiS everything then you should be willing to do what it takes. Now, I dunno about you getting zero creds from a match because I always get at least some cash, but you shouldn't be making tons of green from pvp only. There are plenty of creds in the dailies which can be done by a group of four fairly quickly. Most professions have been given viable ways to make money, or create augs their class wants or that can be sold. You're asking that you should be able to non-stop grind wz comms and make enough to cover luxury expenses like crit-crafted gear? Again, I haven't left a wz with literally zero creds but it's not supposed to be a viable way to make money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightfox_ Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 As soon as they implement your gear getting damaged when you die in PVP you can have your consolation prize when you lose. Since you aren't spending your credits on repairs, getting them for winning is just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zekeiele Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Tied Voidstar they planted one about 10 seconds before us so it was a loss..full match 18 medals 41 kills 8 deaths etc etc..0 credits..Im gonna have to hold off on any crafting etc to make sure I have enough cash for the recruit gear..very annoying.

DarthOvertone Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Even if BW gave us more credits at the end of a WZ match, it still wouldn't cover the cost of some of the items you may need to consistently compete in PvP. I'm not a big fan of farming credits in PvE either. The solution is really to create alts to cover the crafting needs. This way you don't need to drop large amounts of credits on gear and consumables. Your alt stable also gives you the ability to make some cash on the side via the GTN and more easily support your PvP habit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WookieePower Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Yep, I have leveled 4 characters to 50. I was leveling another ONLY through PvP this time around for something new and different to keep me entertained, however 1.2 killed that. Was getting 1 to 2 levels a day pre 1.2 and was level 30, buying new upgrades, etc... since 1.2 I have gained 1 and a half levels TOTAL and haven't been able to buy a thing. I already did the PvE thing, it was fun. I didn't want to do it again, but the OP is right it's either forced PvE, or unsub. I unsubbed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astarica Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Recruit gear costs credits to buy, but if you PvPed your way to level 50 you probably can't afford to buy it due to the lack of money from PvP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pvpingwithnoobs Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Well I haven't logged in for the last few days, I will most probably see this as a sign I won't be playing anymore. Pvp is all I enjoyed, that's now been killed, mojo has gone, doubtfull it will change. Oh well 2 accounts lost due to 1.2, no people can't have my stuff, will go to guildies. TTFN SUITNG.

lytlbyt Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 They absolutely need to add back the credit rewards to PVP. It was a huge part of levelling alts for those that love to PvP and enjoy the game that BW built. Plus, as many have stated, credits are needed for end-game PvP gearing. This one small change has seriously gimped a lot of people's fun of enjoying the bulk of this game, not just "the pvp experience". I have several alts I love to play to experience the full storylines.....I PvP and do the class quests, you get credits, get PvP rewards and it's FUN. Plus, the levelling pace was just a quick as only doing ALL the quests on each planet again...and again.... So, it was a very viable option to levelling alts and keeping up your subscription money due to it being a lot of fun and isn't gimping your char or taking way too long. Well, this change alone will severely affect the way a lot of people have decided to enjoy this "story based" game. This is not just a "PvP only" issue here. If you think that, you are just being ignorant of the full effect of this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mguitar Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Notice all the people telling the OP to go run dailies... they are just proving his point. A pure PVP'er after 1.2 is being forced to PVE for credits. How is it good game design to force a player to do something they do NOT enjoy in order for them to be able to stay competitive doing the thing they DO enjoy? Personally I hate running the same exact "DAILY" missions day in day out to make credits... that is called a "grind". No thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mSum Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I WAS enjoying leveling alts via PvP. BW took that away from me as well. Me: "Hey this is pretty fun...here's some money BW" BW: "Thanks man, but we're going to change things so you can't do that anymore....but hey, here's some free time bro."

zerosaint Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 This is where my problems really begin. Just prior to 1.2 I was planning to level a sniper on a heavier-pop server. I had no interest ini doing pve at this point and had planned to pvp level. The changes of 1.2 subsequently made this implausible unless I wanted to spend a signifigant amount of time grinding wz's for dubious rewards. Unfortunately, I'm just not interested in doing that. So I'm pretty much gone at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm doing it right now for the third time, and nothing seems to have changed between 1.1.5 and 1.2. Sure you get a little fewer credits, but if you really are running enough WZs to level that way, you should still be making more than enough to suit your needs. Like I said, this is the 3rd 50 I'm leveling through PvP WZs, and there hasn't been any real difference in xp gained, and you certainly get a TON more valor than the first time I leveled a character through PvP.

Cempa Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 15 minute WZ after 5 minutes queue with a win I get 6k credits! 15 minutes WZ after 5 minutes queue with a loss I get 0 credits! I have no choice but to PvE, I am FORCED to PvE. Guess which beta is starting next week! EA is going to be so happy when after all these free days are over, half of the subs go away!
