Love the Bag System. Let's Take it to the Next Level, BW:

I haven't looked through all the pages in this thread, but OP forgot to mention that beside the 1/10 chance in receiving a paycheck, that there's a high chance that when you did receive a paycheck...you'd be getting one that has already previously been cashed.

saw this on reddit

epic win dude you are very clever i love this thread

I chortled.

omg yes lol

Hard to believe this thread hasn't been closed yet.

Amen.

lol - this is true

Bump for the great post.

amen, im so annoyed by this

well said! good humor.

my only argument against the sarcastic trodding on the bag system is this: In PVE there is no guarantee of payout each time you do a flashpoint or even several flashpoints. In no MMO game is there ever a 'certainty' of payout with loot. Some of the 'fun' is finding that rare or awesome loot that no one else has. I think they were trying to capture 'that'. I mean just the other day i got a moddable belt on my level 19 IA. No one in our guild has ever seen a moddable belt but me. So that's fairly prestigious. I finally pulled a lightsaber out of a bag the other day... i nearly crapped myself with excitement. If i had just simply saved up enough "PVP points" and bought a lightsaber... well that's nice that i can choose what i get and when i get it ... but it's not as 'exciting' to find something new and lucky to have gotten it.

So to your analogy, good game friend for funny factor

To the point of the bagging system... YES, I definitely agree that it still needs work to really capture that whole 'epic' or semi-'random' feel of getting some awesome loot blended with the reward of hard work, but it's better than just a straight up 'point buy' like WoW has. With that type of system, it's just a linear progression. Very boring and not too exciting to see someone with awesome pvp loot, because you just know they have spent the honor points and a bunch of time. You can even sortof joke around, hey how is that divorce going? etc for the lack of time they spent outside of the game.

To me the main thing to change is drop MORE than 3 centurion commendations in the bags. Because by the time you even get enough for 1 piece you've already gotten 5 pieces of champion stuff and it is just a joke to even buy it. Same with Tionese stuff compared to columi.

my feeling is by the time you get a single champion item you should already have quite a few centurion pieces, by the time you get a columi you should have decent tionese, etc... just regular progression through gear makes sense to me.

Well, I'm ready to be flamed for just my opinion but that's cool.

Honestly, my favorite pvp gearing system was in UO when pvp gear WAS pve gear and if you wanted good pvp gear you just had to kill the guy that had it and took it off his corpse while making fun of him as a ghost that stood there going ooOOoOOoo
