Bag RNG System: Aging Poorly

I 100% Agree with you, Getting 15 useless pieces that you already have is just silly..

A solid suggestion.

We have the facts and we are voting yes.

I'm definitely behind this and I am starting to get angry that there is not official response from Bioware about the complaints about this system. As it stands with their system:

I can't do the Ilum dailies so that is one source of bags out

the times of day I can usually play I can't win a WZ match, that is another source of bags out(I've done about 50 matches, I've been on the winning side in 6 of them).

So I am left with the bags gotten from Warzone/Mercenary commendations(seriously, why are Mercenary commendations in the game, at the moment they serve no purpose other than to make things more convoluted).

The pvp gear system in this game is truly atrocious and I feel like I've gotten the middle finger because I don't have a computer that can cope with Ilum and I didn't hit 50 within the first week or two of play.

As it stands now, skill has almost nothing to do with most WZs I've been in, it is whichever team is better geared wins, which is turning pvp into an activity that most can at least enjoy into an elitist environment in which only a lucky few get to enjoy.

Bioware, that is a TERRIBLE thing to do, end-game pvp is one of the main drawing points to keep people in an MMO, and right now you are pissing a lot of casual people off.

Honestly, if you want to make Battlemaster stuff super-hard to get I'm cool with that, but you need to have SOME pvp gear that is easy and relatively quick to acquire. I'm starting to get VERY tired of getting steamrolled in just about every WZ I'm in.

The dailies are pretty trashy right now. My system wouldn't even -be- dailies; it'd be easier to do for folks with tons and tons of time and harder to do with way less time, but with current dailies being what they are, you could still advance with bags.

I'm feeling somewhat discouraged by the total lack of official input on this stuff. I know that the devs aren't really allowed to talk in here very much, but it'd be nice to hear something-slash-anything.

Call of Duty MW3 does stuff like this, and they made $1Billion in 9 days.

Goals that lead to rewards/unlocks are always a good idea, especially when they are focused on team dynamics and improving the player's tactics and game-play.

Awesome idea!

Pretty much.

You don't have to ape everything other successful developers do, but you certainly have to be informed by other games, even if they're not in your particular genre.

I think PvP games in which one side is really hurting could benefit from some of Uncharted 3's Power Plays, too! Those are a ton of fun, and they help out the underdogs without OPin' it up too bad.

I think this is a wonderful idea. Bump this!

this rewarding of pvp gear is pointless, bags that don't give items or even now i have finally got to bm, there is no real point in involving yourself in the wz's, an mmo is about progression, with full champ gear apart from helm, there is no way to obtain bm gear apart from the daily's in a random drop.

this in theory could go someone could be doing the daily's for a month and receive 1 piece of armour while another could be fully geared. i wouldn't mind if the bm gear was tokens that cost a fortune say 100 bm comm's if at the end of a win i got 3 or loss 1 it allows me to see a goal to work towards.
