Here is how you fix Huttball, Warzones, Level 50 ownage

[XaeroT]

Lump level 50's in their own bracket for Warzones will fix the level 50 problem instantly.

 

Add brackets later like this:

 

1- 10 (yes, we need a low level warzone queue)

 

11 - 29

 

29 - 49

 

50

 

50 elite (raid / pre-made queues that allow more than just 4 to queue)

 

On top of the above we also need battlegroups (cluster of servers queue). Fighting players from multiple servers will result in less Huttball matches for Empire players. The only other solution (other than making more "same side" warzones) is to tell Empire players to roll on the Republic side. That won't happen (Dark Jedi > Dark Sith in my opinion, but not the majority of SWTOR players).

 

The above will kill a few birds with one stone.

Dumb idea.

 

It solves nothing. There'll be complaints about level 49s, 29s, terrible queues, twinks, and the fact that expertise is now completely worthless as it no longer provides the advantage the players were striving for.

 

Yeah. Your idea sucks.

complaints about level 49s, 29s

 

twinks,

 

Keep the same bolster system on the tiered warzones. Everyone is boosted up to level 50. Twink problem and complaints problem solved.

 

terrible queues,

 

Addressed by making battle groups (multiple servers on same warzone queue). Look at level 1 - 10 as an example. At any given time there are 11 - 15 players in the newbie zones per side. If only 4 are queued up you only need 2 servers in a battlegroup to pop the warzone. If you had 10 servers per battlegroup that is 110 - 115 players able to queue up. There will be no "terrible queues" with this system.

 

and the fact that expertise is now completely worthless as it no longer provides the advantage the players were striving for.

 

This is for endgame as we are seeing now (with level 50 players rolling everyone else like no other).

 

Yeah. Your idea sucks.

 

An opinion. I would love to see a better idea.

Only brackets needed are 10-49 and 50, nothing else.

0/10. Try again.

Brackets are seriously needed... and now... not later. My entire guild wont pvp anymore with all the geared out 50s just 2 and 3 shotting people.

 

There needs to be brackets... the players just playing the game are falling further and further behind the 50s.

 

Your bolster system is crap.

I would agree with this if all things were equal. If you look at the advantages of level 40 over level 10 its enough to make for a horrid experience when you first start warzones (getting your face smashed).

 

If you break it down to bottom, middle, and top there will be no problem. That is if you want an equal system. Most people do not want things equal. They want situations in their own favor (as we are seeing now with level 50's camping warzone spawn points which only gives them kills and maybe an extra medal!).

Battlegroups are stupid. I want to play and meet people with my server, in wow, you would do a BG and never see anyone from that game ever again. No fun at all.
