Sliverspark Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 (edited) This is COMPLETELY unacceptable; ESPECIALLY when Ranked Warzones aren't even in effect: http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll101/Sliverspark/Zero%20Comms%20SWTOR/Zero_7.jpg http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll101/Sliverspark/Zero%20Comms%20SWTOR/Zero_6.jpg http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll101/Sliverspark/Zero%20Comms%20SWTOR/Zero_5.jpg http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll101/Sliverspark/Zero%20Comms%20SWTOR/Zero_4.jpg http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll101/Sliverspark/Zero%20Comms%20SWTOR/Zero_3.jpg http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll101/Sliverspark/Zero%20Comms%20SWTOR/Zero_2.jpg http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll101/Sliverspark/Zero%20Comms%20SWTOR/Zero_1.jpg This needs to be changed. I don't put my time and money into this game to get this kind of treatment. Discussion open on if you like or dislike being in the above siutaion and why. For the record, I will say these are some of the worst games I've ever had to play in. I usually end up getting quite a few medals, but with teams like this I don't even have a chance to leave the spawn area. I've sat through full games like this and this is the outcome.

WookieePower Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 They're fixing it... http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=410669 But it should have been fixed in the patch, not the "coming soon" business as usual bs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Duck Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 we TOLD bw this on the test server regarding rewards vs. time invested during a warzone for winners and losers and it seems like nothing really was done to address the situation. now it's live and a tester wonders ... why do i bother to test? I played a warzone for 15 minutes and received 700 credits ... seriously? 700 credits? I don't necessarily do it for the credits but PVPers want to buy stuff on the open market too. What's wrong with 5-10k credits for playing 15 minutes when you are level 50? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terifh Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 In every warzone you ended up with less than 3 medals. How the hell do you people do that? By just playing the match I usually end up with at least 10. If I'm playing to actually get medals I end up with 15+. The only way I can see less than 3 medals happening is if someone is thrown in a warzone with 1 or 2 minutes left (which should be fixed) or faced a very strong premade (which will not happen after ranked warzones).

These were pretty fast games, so fast our teams usually didn't even have a chance to get any kills because we were being face-rolled so hard.

heinywb Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 (edited) wow. those numbers are terrible. last weekend after hitting 50 and buying recruit gear i was doing better than that. you know by just standing at a node and picking ur nose u get 5 medals right? you were in several novare coast matches and never got over 1000 objective pts. ~30s at a node gets u 500. and u get medals for 1k, 3k, 5k, 7.5k and i think 10k. you were in an alderaan which works the same way as NC, and u only had 500 objective pts. what were u doing? fighting away from the nodes? seems like you dont know how to play the maps, nor how medals works. knowledge is power my friend.

Yeah I hate how BW awards steam rollers. There was 0 competition, why should the winners be rewarded... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxdragonragexx Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 When ranked warzones comes out, people won't even get rewarded for losing at all. In fact, they will get punished for it. They are changing the 3 medals rule but my advise is for you to get used to it because when ranked warzones comes out, you won't even get rewarded.

We were being killed so fast we couldn't do anything. I know how to play the game just fine; that's not the point here. The point is that I participated and I didn't get jack squat. Whereas pre-1.2 even in a losing game I could still progress my Valor Rank. 1.2 has made it ridiculously difficult to accomplish this now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkfinsix Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 The only way I can see less than 3 medals happening is if someone is thrown in a warzone with 1 or 2 minutes left (which should be fixed) or faced a very strong premade (which will not happen after ranked warzones). both of which happening right now. So AFTER they implement ranked warzones feel free to make your argument again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxdragonragexx Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 (edited) Well this post isn't true. Yes it is, if you lose, you lose rating. It is the same as the WoW system Read it for yourself. I'll even bold it for you. In Game Update 1.2, any level 50 player will be able to queue up for Ranked Warzones by themselves or in a group of any size up to eight players. Performance will be tracked on every player who participates, as a rating that will be adjusted with every match won or lost (leaving counts as a loss and prevents you from re-queuing for several minutes) considering the ratings of all other players in the match. In other words, if the enemy team has an overall much higher rating than you and your team, your rating would only go down a small amount if you lost. Players will have a separate Solo and Group rating, meaning only the rating for which the player queued will be affected by each match.
