Post 1.1 Ilum PVP Issues Discussion

Bioware will have to do something about this, I cant see how they can let this slide saying it was just an uhoh. I would expect atleast a valor rollback for everyone, maybe more.

Sadly though this combined with the other issues so far (the slicing problem and the harvesting on Ilum) so early in the game has really hurt the players trust in Bioware. The Slicing problem upset the economies on servers, and this latest Ilum bug has made a joke of the PvP on nearly all servers.

Bioware needs to get away from the diplomatic approach of "we'll investigate and take action" crap and make some type of public showing to PROVE that they will not tolerate cheating. And it needs to be something worthwhile.

Personally I think they should perma-ban everyone involved Or atleast roll them back to valor-0 and take away ALL of their PvP gear, and if they are not permabanned then it should be an absolute FINAL WARNING on their account. Is it drastic? Maybe, but I bet future people would think twice about abusing a bug knowing something like this would be the punishment.

And just imo, they should post a list (server by server) of everyone who was caught abusing the bug. It wouldn't do much but personally I will never play with people I know exploit and cheat.

"potential issues" wow, that's embarrassingly bad. Bioware cost themselves millions with this patch.

Yep 3 days left on mine also, one silver lining from this patch is that the patch released before the pay sub got in.

This is why we can't have nice things. Terrible players that are more than happy to play broken games as long as they can use how the game is broken to their own benefit.

Are you kidding me? so because you spent hours exploiting a broken system that makes it ok? so what about the people who spent hours getting free money from the glitch they fixed a few weeks ago, was bioware in the wrong for rectifying that? no! broken is broken and exploiting the system for a certain amount of time only makes it worse. . . seriously

how much more pages do you need BW ..... shut down server and rollback!!!!!

Thanks for the awesome PVP experience on Illum!

oh common i official protest !! i'm not scum and i demand your apology. and please keep in mind this is Bioware first MMO, so yeah there programmers are not used to code a game for this! what is perfectly normal for a single player game does not normally count for an MMO, that's why people learn from ther mistakes! and soon we will all know what the fix will be, so just relax and wait for official response.
no need to strain your brain over small things that the masses have blown up out of proportion. all what's going on here is spawn-camping AND if someone took the time to read the "rules of conduct" then you will see that spawn-camping falls under the "harassment" section of the rules so i bet allot of people will be making new threads soon that start with "Why is my account banned?".

there see no need to fill this thread with hate-full text, wait and see the fun part still has to come.

Forced rerolls wouldn't even be needed, I'm sure alot of people would happily switch their Empire characters to republic seeing how bad it has gotten lately, I know I would in a heartbeat. Though there's no way I am remaking my characters as republic from scratch at this point.

Everyone is right, you need to take the servers down with immediate effect. If you don't believe this, I suggest calling an emergency meeting within your company now and putting forth the idea that you put a poll up in game - much like the way you did your stress test tickets and allow us - the players, to tell you what we want in game.

Currently PVP is not fun. Quite frankly there was more fun interacting with each other and farming the walkers - yeah sure it was broken, but people put in the effort, socialised and just dealt with it.

If this is allowed to continue, the game is going to get bad rep. Everyone knew this was going to happen given the imperial/republic imbalance. Everyone on the servers has been saying they want character transfers for republic.

I've logged on for about 20 minutes, stood in what shall now be known as the camping area and gone up 2 valor ranks. That's absurd and completely unfair on the people who shrugged PvE and instead focussed on grinding PVP.

You basically have two games to support here - SWTOR PVP (Including open world) and SWTOR PVE (Including hard modes, raids and so on)

While we could live with the PVE bugs and imbalances - the PVP is basically unacceptable. Yes I'm on a PVP realm and I'm not amongst the hardcore pvp'ers - but I can see why they'd be massively frustrated at this.

You can not allow this to continue. Seriously, we'll happily take this downtime. If you dont want to shut the game down - lock everybody out of Ilum with a server announcement explaining why. Just make sure this stops immediately!

Argh. Upset.

btw: This is from an imperial perspective on Niman. This is not a good game now, for PVP.
