Tarelther Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Then it seems the WH/EWH gear isn't interacting properly with the bolster. This is probably due to level 50 PvP gear having to sacrifice stats for expertise. The bolster is based on item rating, and the the level 50 PvP gear has low stats for its rating, so it would explain how someone naked would have more stats. Hopefully it shouldn't be too hard to fix. Or maybe the fix just didn't make it into the build in time to be pushed live with the update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlrikFassbauer Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 If you just separate pvp by 10-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-55 Cross server you would not have to worry about **** like this. That's what I thought as well. I found the current "grouping" horrible as soon as I read about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laslaya Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Only input I can give after playing 1 game is that: I have a level 50 jugg with FULL RECRUIT and no augs. Tank spec. >22k HP >950 Expertise Going to be better off not wearing recruit... I can say this much. Lol. My jugg gained far more expertise not using recruit but the free PVE tier set they gave us. 2.0 has turned PVP into Guildwars-style instant death garbage.

Princz Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 That's what I thought as well. I found the current "grouping" horrible as soon as I read about it. In every game i have played there is atleast a 20 levels bracket .... and i have played a lot getting more brackets WZs will stop popping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkPharohEclip Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I am hearing reports of YES, but I could be wrong. People are going in WZs in PvE gear and are beating my stats naked, so... XD better go grab some pve gear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaLeX Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I have a 31 sniper. Should i strip down naked wear the weapon and just tee off on elite warlords? lol. I'm not asking I'm obviously not logging into my 50 after reading this. If this is true they have kindoff ruined the most popular pvp wz, lowbie. If they force everyone into 55, the premades will make people quit the game, since no lowbie to run to anymore, people will just hit the unsub button. So I'm thinking Ill keep one 55 and the rest will be permanently in the low 30's and nude. I need to make some more female tunes. Also if bolster makes everyone even at 55 I probably wont be playing it because gear progression is a big thing for me. Better to twink a level 30 and beat up on the 50-54 toons.

Yelloweyedemon Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Bolster affects lvl 55 warzones as well? If so whats the point on grinding the new armours when you are better naked? If it does then well... cyas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blasphemerr Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 It's not like the bolster system was working properly on the PTS--they knew it was trash and released it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twin Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I never thought I would ever be inspired to PvP naked........ Thank you Bioware for making the impossible happen. That's just it....regardless of what argument you have against or in defense of the new bolster system; Who the hell implements a system that pushes players to nudist pvp? They should give the warzones new honorary names while this awesomeness lasts...

Tankqull Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 A 38 in greens should NOT have 10k more health than a 50 in decent gear. the fault lies in your assumption that WH/EWH is decent gear now, it is outdated old rubbish with the update nothing else. RE your modifications buy some planetary coms by WZ-coms and purchase planetary modifications till 55 where you can buy decent gear again...

Atramar Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 No it dosnt, I think this is basically a twinks qq thread pretty much nailed it.... People died, logged in and complained, and no one bothered to test how it works with L 49 geens/blues/purples/no slots... (well, some already did pve gear>naked man>pvp twinks) less complaining, more testing. 30-54 brackets are not to be equal, competetive etc.. it's a training ground. Want good pvp? go 55. damn..

Oh you don't do warzones, gotcha... Nothing to qq about, you get the best stats with NO gear.. nothing complicated or hard about that... just take off whatever gear you have on before you go into the warzones.

Anyone who chose the heavy set body type should be banned from pvp now. I don't want a bunch of fatties running around my wz. LOL at butball First they give us a gay planet, now theyve made us all nude. Coincidence? I think not. As a family man I am shocked and outraged and appauled by this blatant attempt to brainwash our youth. That and it is quite shocking they let this go live, lol i mean really?

But knowing how it went past year, I expect the cheapest mainhand from starting planet and rest slots empty the best setup. Looking forward to test it in the afternoon.

Yelloweyedemon Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Ah, if it does not affect lvl 55, lol who gives a rat's *** What is the min gear for 55 though?

Tankqull Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 (edited) PVE gear is NOT better than naked.. I just tested that out with culumi pve gear.. It is not better than naked. the old columni is as outdated as the old PvP equip. and therfor not worthwhile but upgrading your gear via plenetary coms(purchasable by wz comms) gives you quite some edge above nakeds...
