1.1.2 PVP Bag Changes. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! (official quote inside)

I have opened 12 BM bags in a row, and got nothing but Champion Comms.


what a joke.


how the **** does this help any of the BM's out there?

Aww poor lil guy got lucky and had his gear drop with his first 5 bags and won't be able to have an advantage over the droves of players better than him.

Cry me a river nub!

Count me as another unlucky one..

While this change will help some, it still doesn't address the root issues. Sure I can do Ilum Daily and Weekly farming crates, but War Zone Daily and Weekly I can pretty much forget about, the Daily becomes a Weekly if I"m lucky, and the Weekly a Monthly. So I get what? 5 bags a week? Maybe?

The problem is still that time invested now after some of the changes (namely Brackets) is drastically increased to what people prior to the patches had to deal with. When you spend weeks watching people go from a new 50 to Battlemaster geared in a matter of days, only to find out you'll take months, outrage is the only possible outcome.

Lets run down a list of changes both past and 1.1.2 that show this...

Brackets --> They didn't fix a problem they hid it by only applying it to new lvl 50's
Ilum Changes --> Not farming a spawn point is fine, no gripe, but too many got to take advantage of it.
Ilum Changes (1.1.2) --> No credit if someone has died to recently, yea I know this is to curb Kill Trading. Know what, I don't like it either, but it's the most efficient way for fulfilling Daily/Weekly Ilum quests.

It's the same problems that all of the EA MMO's I've played face, they can't seem to figure out how to work end game gear progression without it heavily favoring one side or the other. Sure it's happened in other games, and I won't agree with it in those games either.

I had to work for my armor. I spent hours on Ilum killing Imperials and did about 100+ Warzones.

Well the previous system had me taking forever to be fully geared in champion gear, now this new system seems interesting but maaan... really 123 commendations for my mainhand? Heres what, why don't you strip me of all my champion gear and give me commendations equivalent to all the bags I've opened before in the new update? Fair deal? K. Oh and refund the champion commendation equivalent for each duplicate I got.

amazing

Im sick and tired of current system, this week i opened about 14 bags, i got just a relic that i already had. im stuck at 380 expertise

Nice changes - for those who didn't find time (a week?) to make it to BM rank.

Anyway these changes won't make PvP after 60 or full champ suit any more attractive - I mean "less ugly". The only way to involve me into this joke PvP again is to remove RNG from BM bags completely - I don't need this "12 empty bags in a row" casino at all. Right now I'm doing only ilum quest because it takes like 15 minutes to complete - bugged 3-4 hours long "win 3 warzones" with empty BM bag in the end isn't interesting at all.

Well, I'd like to be a snarky jerk about it, but they've finally done something I genuinely approve of regarding PvP. So bravo Bioware, I tip my hat to you.

Hi I didn't have time to read the whole thread or anything but when does this come into the game? I really like this.

Yeah us seniors earned it farming level 20 noobs while we were level 50.
