Theshadowbehind Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) For screwing over casual PvPers. Patch notes: Bolster now improves players up to 232 Item Rating (down from 250). Seems the will be a massive gear difference in PvP which is a bad development for any casual or new players that PvPs. Seeing how big the actual gear grind is right now.

Lium Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I'm a casual PvPer but this change actually doesn't bother me. If I want the best gear I need to work for it. If that means I get slaughtered until I get, so be it. That's reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that means I get slaughtered until I get, so be it. That's reality. Enjoy getting slaughtered for10,5 months. Here is the math Some math (just for tier 1 as my brain doesn't even want to consider tier 2 or tier 3): 1290 components are required for a full set of tier 1. Assuming a 50% regular unranked warzone win percentage ==> (5 + 2) / 2 = 3.5 components per warzone 1290 / 3.5 = ~369 regular warzones to get tier 1......*passes out* Assuming a casual dude such as myself runs 5 warzones per day ==> 369 / 5 = 73.8 days to get tier 1 Thank you. So I followed up on this...didn't read past this to see if anyone else had...but once tier 1 is complete it will be another 486 matches and once tier 2 is complete another 730 matches!!! Freaking insane!!! In total that is 1585 total matches and assuming the 5 matches per day that puts you at 317 DAYS!!! That is roughly 10.5 MONTHS!!!

stoopicus Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) This was a bad mistake, Bioware. PvP was doing great with the higher bolster. Nice and level playing field. Now it's just going to be grind and arms race. Which was of course your goal. Edited January 24, 2017 by stoopicus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
