Ilum exploit: Turrets have no diminishing returns on valor

Up until today, I've been really happy with SWTOR. Was it perfect? No. But no MMO is at launch. I was (and still am) prepared to give it time to mature. During that time I planned to grind out some valor. Now I see my effort trivialized and even worse, see the faction imbalance get further imbalanced (I play Republic).

But if they don't roll back the servers pre-patch I will stop playing. They have turned this game into a farce.

As I said, carebear servers will not be affected most likely.

Then again, even the players on those servers will be when the backlash of some of the more disastrous aspects and 'features' of the PvP in this game is going to hit.

While I am not unsubscribing from the game myself (in fact I have a 6 month sub running because I am a penny-pinching nickel nurser who fortunately does no't have to be frugal so I will just play or not ,whatever I feel like) I sure hope all those people threatening to vote with their wallets will do just that - and not forget to comment on their reasons.


Nope. That's why I have been forced to witness the downfall of quite a few. I am sort of getting tired of it to be honest.

Fatman is a mess right now.

As I type this, there are 150 imps and 40 Repubs on Ilum.

90 of those Imps are farming the Repub turrets.

The other 60 are farming the Repubs trying to farm the Imp turrets.

It's not an exploit. Let me explain it in terms you can understand.

Killing a mob gives you XP. You can kill this mob over and over until you level. Bioware wants you to quest and do flashpoints to get XP, but killing this mob is not an exploit.

Killing a turrent gives you valor. You can kill this turret over and over until you level. Bioware wants you to quest and do warzones to get valor, but killing this turret over and over is not an exploit.

The molar of the story. If Bioware would remove valor from the turret, no body would want to kill it.

haha.

this is actually slightly more hilarious than it is tragic. only marginally though.

/BUMP




MASSIVE EXPLOIT ON OUR SERVER over 100+++ IMPS in Ilum farming our turrets and about 5 or so stealth REBS trying to get their daily done!!!!! They are just sitting on our Turrets BM in a day GG BW.



D,

BW fix Ilum

Yes, they need to do this.But it says a lot that the outcome of turret zerging wasn't picked up in internal testing by bioware.

Havent logged in today yet but if this is true, shouldn't BW by their own statement regarding exploits, ban every account that has been sploiting the system?

Zero Tolerance, isn't that what they said?

Whether or not it's an exploit is another issue. However, the fact that they respawn instantly and have no diminishing returns on valour gain seems unintended.

This is just ridiculous. Rollback and then change turrets to unkillable with increased aoe damage to protect the inside of the bases to prevent spawn camping.
