One other ´thing - is the rewards to account or character?

 

Character.

awsome! arena is so unbalanced with classes, bolster bug messing up the game and stunned to death by crafted grenades. glad the classes that are actually viable in arenas will get rewarded for all the crap programming but hey who needs an actually working game to play when they can just pump out cartel pack after cartel pack and never fix the game.

Just a note, there isn't a single class that won't be represented at 1500 rating. Just because you haven't gotten there, doesn't mean it's not possible.

don't argue with the randos!! all the classes in solo and 4s that are over 1500 are a myth! a lie! bioware tomfoolery!

 

i can't get the rating, therefore, buff plz

Well, I tried.

 

Since this thread started, I managed to get into one ranked solo game and zero team games (RP-PvE-server).

 

On Saturday during prime time, there were 5 players of my guild in the queue for solo ranked. After 2 hours waiting in vain, I gave up for good.

 

Nice idea and nice rewards for sure. Would have even been a challenge for me to get to 1.500. A pity that it's not happening on my server. Well, now I'm back to PvE.

 

I'm curious if there will be any rancor on my server at all. If so, then the player(s) definitely has something very rare in his/her possession.

I don't have anything constructive to add so here's a .

Hey folks,

 

One of the things I have seen quite a few questions around is the exclusivity of the Rancor mount which Tier 1 PvPers will be receiving at the end of Season one. I wanted to talk a little bit about Giradda the Hutt’s Rancor mount and the other mounts you will see coming in the future.

 

• Giradda’s mount, the armored and tattooed Rancor is a unique appearance that will be exclusive only to our PvP Season one, Tier 1 reward winners.
  
• Inside of Nightmare Dread Palace, our Operations players will have a chance to get a very rare mount, a Cyborg Rancor. This will also be a unique appearance of the Rancor which is exclusive to our Ops players.
  
• Finally, at some point in the future we will have some more “basic” Rancor models which will be available in other parts of the game, such as the Cartel Market packs.
  

 

In short, the specific appearance for the Arena mount and the Cyborg Rancor Ops mount will be unique models, but you can expect to see other Rancor mounts around the fleet in time. Hopefully that answers your questions.

 

Thanks!

Eric will marauders be getting 2 lightsabers for season awards? It would be nice to assume that we would be getting 2 but I figured I'd ask just to make sure.

So we are getting empty armor and weapon shells...wow... http://dulfy.net/2014/03/06/swtor-giraddas-rancor-mount-and-other-season-one-pvp-rewards/

 

You'd expect at least to get the real gear so people with jobs and lifes can keep up to date with constant adding of new gear, but no, the people that can spend their whole day grinding pvp gear and then grinding more to min/max and correct the useless stats (alacrity anyone) get favored. What do I need empty shells for?

We have known since the rewards were announced that it would be empty shells. The fact that you didn't know that is your problem. Were you really expecting to be handed a full set of BiS min/maxed gear? Reality check much.

Marauders, Sentinels, Gunslingers and Mercenaries all get a main hand and off-hand weapon in the Lockbox.

You're welcome

Rewards for Pre-Season 1.1, cool.

wow!!! i need the Rancor mount!!! lol

As was found out here http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=727762 , FOTM classes are more likely to get top tier Season 1 rewards than non-FOTM classes.

 

I don't like this inbalance.

 

I have the suspicion that the number of Healer Sorcs / Sages who are getting top tier rewards will be the smallest number of all classes.

However, I have no actual data for that; this is just an suspicion growing after reading various PvP threads about Sages / Sorcs being viable as healers.

 

I also believe that - accordsing to the Leaderbords - far more Empire faction players will get top tier rewards than Republic faction players.

 

Which is another inbalance.

I pvp all the time, I'm not the greatest by any means but I do well. What must you do to increase your rating for next time?

As I've noted before, ALL ACs will be represented at 1500+. There are some specs that will make it significantly harder for you to obtain a high rating on, but if you are a skilled PvPer and want the rewards, you can get them with any class. Stop trying to force your spec through and swap to Madness/Balance for Sorc/Sage.

 

Faction imbalances certainly exist, but the dominant faction changes by server. Also, faction does not matter in terms of grouped rating since you are only reliant on 3 other people being good, not randomly matched with anyone on your faction. If you truly want top tier rewards, you are definitely better off removing the RNG element by doing 4s.

Exactly when? I better start saving.

This is a freaking joke, Bioware. Empty shells of the same gear we already have? You do know that we have dye modules right? I mean you implemented them. At the very least the season 1 gear rewards should be on par or better with the next set of pvp gear you're adding. This is stupid.

Hello all, I am a new pvper for swtor however i have played other MMOs before this, for some players that I have seen complaining about unranked getting no rewards, my personal believe is that its fair thats why its called unranked for a reason; and in a sense you are getting rewards your getting the pvp gear from the warzone points you accumilated, howevrr for the ranked 1500... is rather low top tier pvp gear should be only rewarded to the TOP players as in all MMOs pvp... its the same goes for pve... HC mode gives better rewards.

So will these rewards be Legacy Wide or just the one character that is 1500?
