Man things are ugly on Ilum. I got there went about 30 yds out the gate got ganked by more than I can count. I was hoping things would improve as I played about 15 warzones yesterday won 5 and got credit for 2 wins in the dailys. Lets say my frustration levels is maxed. I am have zero fun with this game at the moment.

Can you give credit for quests when you gain a Warzone Victory.
Can you also change Warzones to give 10k valor for participation. This will be in line with 1.1 Ilum.

or

Delete Ilum and start again.

As for faction imbalance, not much you could do except cap the zone.

Also, possibly take a page from the game that shall not be named and implement something like Tenacity. Now they borked it because they didn't get the numbers right but with tweaking it could help.

Honestly you have one basic axiom, people love to win but will accept a fair fight. If you leave it such that it's a giant snowball (i.e. bigger faction wins more and the rewards get boosted by winning therefore giving them a greater ability to win), then the losing side (mostly Republic) will simply stop trying and give up. Then the winning side will have no one left to fight.

Yeah dude there is no Turret exploit. The issue here is the blatant spawn camping and getting valor from NPC's. Ilum is a open world PvP area. It can never be balanced. But it can be made fair. And spawn camping inside the base is not fair.

To be fair, the rest of the patch bar Illum was amazing.

Because NOONE with valor ranks will get a bit of respect for it if you do not.

I'm fighting 200 imps in Ilum, been fighting there all day with some success.

But most of these players came streaming in once you all announced that the turret thing was an exploit.

Getting some pretty good FRAPS of it too, for your sake I hope you fix this.

Because you'll be the laughingstock of MMOs if you don't.

So what you're saying is you're helping the imps farm this Valor that you're also complaining about them getting?

So, 6pm for Bioware now and still no response other than a quick reword of what the original statement was.


Did you all go home?

I guess I'll go resub to Warhammer for my pvp fix, never really had a problem with that game and it look like they're adding relics/forts Is this the part where the pvpers go play Warhammer since its been getting fixed for years?

I started to read this thread but then I realized 90% of it was just "QQQQQQQ" with no constructive points so I stopped reading and posted this.
