Jest Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Really? I played through 3 builds and..wait a minute...I never left a WZ early so I really have no frame of reference. I have a kid so I regularly had to go afk.. which booted me from the Warzone and left me on WZ cooldown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordSatoh Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 (edited) Honestly, I don't really care about a bunch of power levelling pvpers. That would happen even if every swinging blank got full access today. Those are the same players that will cry about not having anything to do in game in a few weeks. Heck, reading the threads on it made me glad I didn't get EGA today, and may not get it until the weekend. Because at least there will be more people online to make the world feel full...and while there will be maxed out twinked gankers, as I said, that was gonna happen no matter how ya slice it. On a pvp server they will be getting even more rewards for camping the **** out 30 levels lower players for weeks. That is MASSIVE crap Edited December 13, 2011 by LordSatoh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Later Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 THIS IS THE SAME BUG IN WARHAMMMER AND GETTING EMBLEMS....anyone remember? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kunovega Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Make it so the match lasts the full 30 mins regardless of players. I know dumb right? The guys that stick around and try to PVP get the reward at the end of the match while quitters get nothing. I like your idea of penalizing quitters with longer wait times. or this basically there are many ways they could have designed around it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbburn Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 wow just wow, crazy thing is if they didnt prevent 80 to 90 percent of the players from playing the game they purchased this wouldnt even be an issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lumocolor Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Nobody is going to get banned over this, at least not till after the 20th after all the games have been shipped and paid for...lol. I don't see them banning people using a now well known design flaw/bug/exploit before they even have their money, they'd lose hundreds of thousands of pre-order cancels $$$$$.

Hello all, The Live Services and development teams are aware of the reports on this issue, and we're investigating. We'll take appropriate action against any players who are found to exploiting the game in any way. Thanks for your patience while we look into the issue.

Jest Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Then what do you think Stephen meant by "appropriate action"? Appropriate action would like be a loss of levels at the least and a loss of levels and an infraction on the account at most. Nobody is going to get banned from the game before launch.

RikxJames Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 And it gives an even bigger advantage to those who won the preorder lotto. The fact that this can even be said is BS.

Exactly my friend; at the very least these people will their characters rolled back so they cannot enjoy camping twinks in the new waves by the time the exploit is fixed.

silvanaion Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 wow..so many people in this thread are wrong. Believe me, tracking down exploiting of this issue is leaps and bounds easier then you think, you must think programming and database logs are magical rainbow devices. A DOA bug? not likely what just happened in wow again? O right, EXPLOITING a flaw in the LFR system allowing multiple loot farming. Hmm wow what happened? O right massive bannings to big and small guilds. If you think this won't be addressed you are a few synapse short of your state of evolution.

Goretzu Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Actually.. Played WAR from launch for over a year and they have the same system that shuts down the Warzone if it's underpopulated. The difference was that WAR had a regular launch, not a Staggered launch and you're able to PvP from Lvl 1 onwards.. so each bracket was pretty full most of the time except for the fastest levelers... who spent more time grinding quests anyways. 1. WAR scenarios don't launch very often if there's not enough players (does happen, but you couldn't exploit it as it would take so long). 2. WAR scenarios that shut down within 2 mins (as rare as they are) don't award much exp (or renown). This couldn't happen in WAR, so I don't see how they let it happen in SWTOR.

fordpre Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I don't know why people get so worried about other people doing something which doesnt actually hurt them. I wont exploit its not the way I do things also I want to appreciate everything the game has to offer, but if someone else is exploiting so long as its not in actual PVP combat it in no way affects me. Bioware will no doubt do something about this guessing they will delete chars that have used this exploit or remove the xp they gained via this exploit and whilst I agree with bioware for doing something like this, I wont lose sleep over something that doesnt directly concern me. I guess it might upset people on PVP servers more but there will always be someone higher than you looking to gank you. If you cant handle that or dont want to handle that dont roll on a pvp server.

It could and did happen. Not as much during launch but it happened a lot more as the server pop was dying. Either way, the reason why it wasn't as prevalent was due to the differences in Launch tactics and the ability to enter those Warzones/Scenarios from Lvl 1.
