Post 1.1 Ilum PVP Issues Discussion

Sorry but these Answer was about 6hours for now.
Whats your defination of shortly? will it become the all known "soon" ?

I mean sorry i like this Game , i told everymone i will give you time , and i will, but dont start with Community Interaction like Activision-Blizzard. This will kill all faith we have in you.

Joke game, cancelled subscription.

what an awful patch, patches are meant to improve things not make things even worse than they already are.

Get back your valor farming quickly!
Before they change it and all your friends become l33t and you not

It is not only bad in Ilum for republic.

A lot of people don't know about the camping so what is happening is once they figure out they have to queue a warzone and exit to get out of the ilum mess they do so.
Which is making the warzones also a numbers problem. 1 out of the 10 games I played actually had 8 people in it from start to finish. The other 9 had people pop in and then out ... never helping with any of the goals. Most of the games had maybe 5 people that actually queued to play a warzone instead of just escape from Ilum.

Please turn Ilum back to pre-patch or turn it off completely.

It is ruining the entire pvp landscape at least on my server.

Before i get started here please note this is not a flame thread or qq thread im trying to be positive here and get changes made please post ways to fix this or your ideas. If you want to threaten to leave and qq go elsewhere please.


Ilum bases

As ive stated in other posts the main issues with these bases is lack of defenses.

The bases need the following things implented

1. The bases need lot more gaurds and wall turrets. I say this b/c as were seeing really now more then ever that the opposite side can sit in the other sides base.

2. The bases need to be more deeper like the main bases when u land on ilum. They need to be closed off and have 1 entrance in/out

3. Thier needs to be a base boss to kill thats 80 to 100k deep inside of the base. This boss needs to have the highest chance of getting pvp gear/champion bags and even armor pieces in themselves. I base this on how easy it is to take the bases currently. Shooting a rocket and camping the repair box is just not doing. Theres needs to be a raid to go into the base and strategically kill a base boss on top of taking the turrets. This would make for better pvp and more people organizing to fight for an objective

So heres how the base take over should be

1. use rocket launcher kill turrets
2. Fight your way inside the base (should be lots of door gaurds and droids/turrets to fight your way through.
3. Kill the base boss thats a 80-100k deep inside the base then cap the base.
4. Loot boss or chest (This boss must have the highest drop rate for champion bags/commendations and even gear itself)

4. The repair box for the turrets needs to be inside the base why this is outside? I do not know. This makes for harder and a better experience to take the turrets out. Anyone can go shoot a rocket launcher up there and camp the repair box.

5. We need to have healers be able to heal please remove -30 healing

6. We need to have more functional/more useful manable gun turrets

7. Faction imbalance im going to be honest gabe your gonna need to open rvr and other servers ability to come and go to have functional pvp on any server. This issue cannot be adressed with same faction vs same faction. Really need to get this rvr and cross server pvp going

8. Raid assist we cant do much in a raid with no raid assist. Ive complained about this issue in beta. If you want to form a community and have organized groups fighting we need a raid assist badly


These ideas imho would go a long way in ilum i know theres going to be lag and fps issues and theyve stated there working on them.

To gabe i hope you read and consider these ideas. I think this would really improve things if one side could actually defend thier base and putting a base boss would create more raiding and better fun for all.

Please post constructive ideas ill admit like a lot of people im getting very frustrated and i want this to succeed for us all both sides.

a) it's spelled "hypocrite"

b) 50s farming lowbies was accessible to everyone, not just Empire only as is the case here

c) lowbies had a chance to fight back instead of being spawncamped

d) the rate of valor gain from "farming lowbies" is many times lower than ilum at its current post-1.1 state

please think before you post

They should be throwing gabe out of the building and replacing him

Rollback or Ban "All" players who Exploited knowing full well that this kind of thing doesn't just happen as a happy surprise. Once people learned of this exploit they did it knowing full well what they where doing.

Banning all the players who partook would probably even the sides too. 2 Birds one stone

In my opinion a rollback would preferable although the 3 or 4 valor ranks i lose for legitimately playing pvp today would suck i would just take it on the chin like everyone else who doesn't want explioters to have a massive advantage.

In future, don't give valor for anything but player kills and warzone completion. And don't allow a "forced" spawn area to be camped constantly allowing tons of kills if players wont log out. The new pvp quest for illum was a total failure anyway its worse then the old pvp quest atleast that was doable with the huge side inbalance.

Anyway just my two bits worth. Thank you for reading

Arkanice

ah ok, juggnauts need a range aoe attack thank you

and maybe we should be able to build a deathstar and use it on ilum.
