Cybridwarform Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Would be awesome if valor ranks gave people at least some added character improvement, rather than being just another useless bar to look at. Example: Valor 10: Codex introduction to valor/rewards - gives modest amount of XP. Valor 20: Cool down reduction to Medpacs by 20 secs. Valor 30: Cost of buying Medpacs reduced by 10% Valor 40: Cool down reduction on Adrenals by 20 secs. Valor 50: Cost of buying Adrenals reduced by 10% Valor 60: Damaging an enemy player reduces the healing they receive by 10%. Valor 70: Damage taken by other players reduced by 10% Valor 80: Reduces the duration of root and snare effects by 10% Valor 90: Reduces the duration of stun effects by 10% Valor 100: Reduces the rate at which the resolve bar deteriorates by 40%. etc.. etc... Since valor is a PVP thing i figured it would be worth it to give it only PVP-related things. No secret PVE buffs here that would make a huge impact to make PVE'ers farm it. Tbh: i could care less what you do in the end. -But it would be nice to have valor mean something atm its pretty damn useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidichIorian Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 The cost reductions seem reasonable but I'm not so sure about what best can be described as wz buffs. We don't need to give people more to complain about. Remember gear disparity and what that resulted in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybridwarform Posted June 5, 2013 Author Share Posted June 5, 2013 well that is mostly why i said i don't care what they do with it as long as it means something. -atm it is quite terrible. All i ever care about as far as valor is concerned is, the second i hit valor 40 on a new character i start converting to ranked so when i cap that toon out i have stuff to play with. I cant think of any other real benefit outside of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KettleBelll Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Just have it add to expertise: If you are valor 92, you get a 9.2% expertise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackNader Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 then they need to make valor legacy wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzingFridge Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Valor Rank gives us access to vanity items and different gear sets. It has a similar function to Social Points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayshames Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I completely agree with making Valor useful. Though I'm not too sure about the examples you provided. Many people farmed Valor rank on ilum and it'd give them a great advantage over other players when really they've barely even done any PvP. I suggested a few times a long time ago about increasing credit gains and warzone commendation rewards. Not too sure about credits, but I thought getting an extra 1 commendation for every 2 Valor ranks would be a nice feature, up to an extra 50 commendations at 100 Valor. This means those with higher valor can get gear faster to min/max, gear alts, experiment with or just be able to buy more medpacs/adrenals.

Valor is useless. Its a measure of time played and that is it. You really cant access anything with it and the only real thing valor had was being able to wear crafted WH gear which has since been removed from the game and unless you had purchased schematics cannot get them anymore.

They made it so PvP gear has little to no meaning, what makes you think they would be willing to make valor meaningful? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wont make valor meaningful. It was somewhat back with battlemaster but thats it. Its a stat to measure time played in warzones more or less.

The highlighted part of this quote is all that matters. I don't really care how many PvP matches you've played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
