Jenslyn Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Just curious how it works. Pleae see if my understanding is correct... The bolstering system 'bolsters' everyone's stats to level 50. This means that Level 50 players can play with, say, a level 10 player. The system upgrades all abilites to their level 50 states, but does not grant abilities that you haven't got on your current level. Your gear still matters, because the system only buffs the players base stats that increase according to level; not gear stats. Is this correctly understood, or am I missing something?

CHRISGG Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 No, your stats scale based off of your gear. At 50 you zone in with your exact same stats as you have outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenslyn Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 Not sure I follow. So better gear DOES help in warzones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokt Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Of course it helps. Thats why there are PVP vendors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doki Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Not sure I follow. So better gear DOES help in warzones? Yes. Thus in essence, a lvl 20 in all epics will have better stats in the Warzone than a lvl 50 in greens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Foy Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Yes. Thus in essence, a lvl 20 in all epics will have better stats in the Warzone than a lvl 50 in greens. Better to look at it this way: Your stats in a WZ reflect how well geared you are for your level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilford Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Better to look at it this way: Your stats in a WZ reflect how well geared you are for your level. If this is true this is possibly the most amazing system ever created for battlegrounds/warzones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maligni Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 If this is true this is possibly the most amazing system ever created for battlegrounds/warzones. Deffinately fixed any imbalances I think lol. Ingenous system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xPVTx Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Deffinately fixed any imbalances I think lol. Ingenous system. Definitely* And it doesn't really fix the imbalances because you still lack the Skills the higher level players have. Usable abilities as well as passive ones.

DKDArtagnan Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Yup, I think it's the single most impressive idea in a modern MMO. Why? Because I couldn't actually come up with that myself If it really does this - it's BRILLIANT. Makes all the whining seem extra amusing, doesn't it?

Jenslyn Posted December 21, 2011 Author Share Posted December 21, 2011 It's a great way for me to be able to play with some pals that join in a day or two, that's for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RasmusJohansson Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 U should realize tho after playing a few huttball rounds for example that ending up with a bunch of level 12-15 cripples and being 40 like me and facing several other more experienced and leveled players will hurt you so much in the long run that you most likely lost allready ... It's sad to see how some do nothing all game just cause they have a third of my skill arsenal to work with and that is not a genious system ladies and gents... and I for one h8 it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnclearImage Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 What it basically means- in WoW Enemy> I R higher level therefore I R have more skillz Me> Well this is going to suck... Enemy stands by laughing as I swing and miss for 15 minutes before mounting and killing me with his minipet. in SWTOR Enemy> I R level 50 and got the skills cuz I R pro and leet.. and epic and other fancy buzzwords! Me> that's super... SKADOOSH! Enemy realizes that grinding for 60 hours DOESN'T equal skill and dies by my lowbie hand... before flaming the forums about how swtor is too easy and nonones got skil..z and running back to wow to copy> paste his 'skills' from wowpopular.com Skadoosh sir... it is perhaps > or = to SWTOR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not perfect, but your scenario is extremely rare - and it can happen to both sides. Don't blame the poor players on the game, that's just silly.

Bertith Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 (edited) level does make a difference in pvp with ability's. Example able to see through stealth of lower level players an there are many others. An its funny to watch what peolpe do when they do not realize it.
