NDiggy Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 I keep running into this issue on several of my characters. I first noticed it in a game of Alderaan when I offered to relieve the Vanguard guarding the left capture point because he wanted to go attack something. The game was about half way over at this point and we had two capture points. I sat there the rest of the game and did not receive one defense medal. A frustrating occurrence when you have 30 minute to 1 hour pvp queues. I next noticed this in the new warzone on a level 14 Operative I rolled on Fatman so I could do some pvp (can't get queues on my servers before 6pm or after 10pm). I capped and guarded the East node and never received one defense medal despite guarding it the rest of the game and even killing a few people trying to ninja cap the node. I've also pvp'd in premades before where I've been guarding a node in Alderaan with another person in my premade. I'll earn defense medals while the other person for some reason will not. Has anyone else ran into this issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montreau Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 You have to move out and then move in again to start getting def points. Seems to be a bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pbxsparx Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 This only occurs in Civil War when you use the Express Speeders to get to your controlled turret. So like what the previous poster said, right after you land if you have time move back like 10m away from the turret defense zone and then re-enter the zone. You should be able to get your defensive points from then on. Now if you take the normal way of walking towards your owned west or east turret from mid or from underneath the tunnel then you shouldn't have any problems with getting defensive points.

Nope that's not true, I've had it happen plenty of times without using the speeder, and I've also not been able to reset it by going to a different node either. Sometimes if you die it will start working again, other times I don't think that helps either. Also sometimes you don't get the medals for a quick win, usually in Huttball or sometimes Voidstar as well (maybe all the maps, but CW you probably won't get the quick medals anyway). It can be extremely frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be extremely frustrating. I find this very hard to believe because I've had this bug all figured out and hadn't had any problems upon using the walk around to it. You don't need to go to a different node to reset, you just have to take a few steps away from the defensive area and re-enter. Only things I could think of on why you're not getting your defensive points are : A. You are outside the defensive box. B. You aren't staying inside of the defensive box long enough to acquire defensive points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pbxsparx Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 And I in turn find it very hard to believe you have the bug "all figured out." I'm interested on knowing what your valour rank actually really is right now just so I know I'm talking to someone whom I could have constructive discussions with about PvP rather than receiving what seems to be more of contradictions about everything I say from this thread and another separate thread. Because so far you haven't provided any answers to the thread starters post apart from the obvious "DYING" thing which of course resets everything.

Polebreaker Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 (edited) Sorry, walking away and coming back doesnt always fix the bug (in fact it's never worked for me). I've gone to the other side of the map, capped that turret, come back, and still be bugged. Nor does it seem to have anything to do with taking a side speeder to the node, and death doesnt fix it. The only consistent fix I've found is having the enemy flip the node, then recapturing it. Then defense points will start to accrue again. And as if it makes any difference, my valour rank(s) are 79, 61, and um 46 I think... Edited May 13, 2012 by Polebreaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happyphish Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 I hadnt thought to correlate the express speeders with not receiving defensive medals. The bug happens rarely and I rarely use those speeders, so maybe that is the case. It is at least worth trying, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
