Wraithstrike Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Well, you've all read the patchnotes, and today's the big day. What do you think of this change? Will it encourage teamplay, or will it merely encourage premades? Personally, I think PuGs will have a hard time now. I for one know I will be rolling with a premade.

Nerfhammer Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 well since the only warzone that seems to exist is huttball pugs are screwed no matter how you look at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felene Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Just encourage more deserter, I got into 2 warzone today both joined at the last minute, game lost back in queue in less than 3 minute, 34 free comm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galteos Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 this is actually really disappointing, as i play Republic on a server with a pretty small republic pop. It's pretty rare that we actually win, and now we're going to be getting less rewards. does Bioware want to just scare the losing faction away from PvP entirely?

Aedn Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Its a fine idea if the following were implimented : seperate que for premade vs solo players, allow up to 8 in a premade team, and put in restrictions on the level 50s, that they only play other level 50s. As it stands now, all it will do is give more incentive to high level players to play, while low level players will just not que up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romulusss Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 you guys must have crappy servers. On my lvl 43 trooper today i won 3/3 alderaan, 3/5 voidstar, and 1/3 huttball. Repub on my server knows whats up. Empire is just so good at huttball, i wonder why lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedEnsign Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 (edited) I guess BW doesn't keep track of when other MMOs tried something and it failed and they had to go back and reverse it. This has NEVER worked in any MMO. If one side is constantly losing, punishing them is not going to make them play this mythical "harder" I see some simpletons saying. Research the history. Punish the losing team, they stop queuing, players complain there's no warzones popping. Anyone want to place real money on the wait time complaints hitting the forums within 5 days? Edit Did WAR do something like this? I remember in the first month or two they did something and all of a sudden the battlegrounds just died. My server lost it's population and was one of the first to be abolished some time later. Edited December 27, 2011 by RedEnsign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satpolpp Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 What they really need to do is invest some server farms for warzone instances, hire a Blizzard techinician and tell him to reprogram the software architecture to allow CROSS-SERVER QUEUES. Its pretty dumb to just limit yourself as it currently is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csebal Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 It is the medal system thats effed up big time. Players should be incentivised to work towards the mission objectives and not for various statistical milestones. What should be there, but is not: civil war: - capturing points - preventing ongoing captures - kills/heal/shielding NEAR ENEMY points (offense score) - kills/heal/shielding NEAR OWN points (defense score) huttball: - killing the ball carrier - kills/heal/shielding NEAR the ball - absolute field distance ran with the ball (throughout the match, incl. negative runs) - successful passes - points scored voidstar: - bomb planting / console hacking attempts - successful bomb planting / console hacking - preventing ongoing planting or hacking - defuse attempts - successfully defusing the bomb - preventing others from defusing the bomb What no one cares about and still is in: pretty much every medal currently in the warzone system. They are misguided, pointless and cause the players to play the wrong way as the incentivise bad play by promoting stat wh'ring. The most prominent ones: - final blow - solo kill - 10 kill mark - 25 kill mark - 75k damage mark - 75k heal mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munx Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 (edited) Idiotic decision, this should have been done back when people exploiting the lack of players was actually a problem, now theres enough people queuing that it dosnt happen anymore... now all it does is punish the people who do play.. god knows its difficult enough to get the 800 commendations needed for a champions bag.. Also Mikelite 2200 in one day.. that would be a average of 32 matches which would again be 32 x 15 = 480 mins aka 8 hours I would say that is only a fair amount of commendations for sitting infront of your pc for the better part of the day.

Slamz Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Wait, what? Patch notes say this: Rewards for winning Warzones have been increased.Warzone completion rewards have been decreased. So... you get more from winning and less from losing? ..... good? I don't see the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHRISGG Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I win 9/10 games I play so I welcome this change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munx Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 When the game is a cc spam fest, losing can be frustrating enough, without getting considerably less for your effort.. Glad I finally found myself a pre-made so pvp is alittle better for me as a marauder, but I know there are still marauders out there who have nightmares about warzones such as huttball because of theyr lack off cc.. I miss the good old mmo's that awarded you for participating rather then winning tbh.. I just hope these changes wont be massive, if winning now yields double the amount losing does, you will have gear imbalances between factions/pre-mades and alot of people will be turned of from pvp.

Camthylion Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 (edited) Bad decision. This ^^ It takes long enough to gain entry into warzones on the RP server as it was... now I expect longer waits, and I only do warzones for the experience, but the PVP is of course interesting. I am not interested in making alts to often because of redoing the same quest line over, over and over... pvp was my EXP gainer. This was a VERY horrible decision! I just hope the nerf stops here, if nothing else improve PVP don't hinder it for goodness sake. Edited December 27, 2011 by Camthylion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
