kissingaiur Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Ironic part is these threads make the problem worse because you bring awareness to literally every players who pvp and they end up exploiting to stay competitive. Best thing to do would have been to report it in tickets to the dev team and move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotsanerv Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Go to the bolster terminal and parse with your DvL. Then do it bolstered with your old 208s with bonuses. Then, if you you have them, do it in your 240 mods and enhancements. Fully geared, I bolster down a good bit. 208s and DVL with 220s, I bolster up. My parses are pretty much statistically equivalent, and I used 240 mh and oh. No one is getting wrecked because a small minority is PvE players in DVL. I've not thrown in crafted armors into the mix, but I'd imagine I might see a small decrease in dps without a set bonus. It's aggravating there isn't an incentive to get better gear, but it's what loads of players have asked for. Every parse was 8500 +/- 300 in 1.5 mil with no armor debuff. Unbolstered with my best ops gear on 1.5 mil w/ broken armor, I'm consistently north of 9k dps. DvL boosted my armor and HP, but a skilled PvP player will negate the difference with one hit.

Sir-steve Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 It's gotta be unintended. I cannot speak for whether or not it's intended, but as someone who's ground out every single set of PvP armour and most of the PVE ones on multiple toons (I have 25 alts on one server alone) AND the DvL set, I have two things to say: 1) I wish they'd stop making new gear sets - its a pain 2) There darn well should be a point to having put in the time and effort to get the DvL - it was a lot of work. If the boost wasn't intended, it should have been. Why should folks who chose not to put in the time, get the same stats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the boost wasn't intended, it should have been. Why should folks who chose not to put in the time, get the same stats? Was the DvL event advertised as a way to get ahead in PvP? I don't remember anyone ever saying that, or that it would yield any kind of combat advantage. All I ever heard people talk about were achievements and cosmetic gear and whatnot. I think if PvP'ers knew that there would be some reward in the DvL event that would make them OP in wz's there would have been no cue pops during that whole period while the wz crowd did what it took to get that gear. Even though there's only two servers in North America where cueing for WZ's is an option I don't think the devs would have wanted to shut them down on those two servers.

falkron-kerupt Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 (edited) Lmfao as i said here it comes the cries that a set of gear from 2 expansions prior should not be fixed.Make all the excuses you want it was not an intentional set up to by pass top tier designed gear.

Totemdancer Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Gear shouldn't even be an issue with PVP. Set bolster back to 250 and we are done. At least until 5.2 in April. Then you can fix the whole lot at once instead doing one bit at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllisonLightning Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Oh nooooo. Jug was pretty enjoyable and fairly viable that way :{ Class balancing is also scheduled for 5.1.2, right? My Juggernaut's only issue is gear- with the CXP boost I have to use that deplorable set to get the other three characters to seventy over the course of a day so I can focus on bringing each character up, but I would never take that set into endgame PvP and feel no sympathy for people who will now have to do without it. It's a level boost armour set- it's not designed for max level and this was an exploit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordMakis Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 (edited) But hey, bolster is working as intended and they are not going to revert the change. Even if people were not complaining about it before patch. Now we have pvp, especially ranked, flooded and influenced by exploiters using some funny pve sets like DVL and stomping other players, who rather choose to gear in 'legit' (designed by Bioware, even if its retarded) way. And devs still defend their brilliant idea. Only thing they can say is that they are aware of the issue, and they are thinking about solving it. Bla bla bla. That kind of ****, RUINING game experience should be fixed ASAP!!! Not after month or two... Bioware is like socialism, it creates and fights problems unknown anywhere else.
