Kudos to them.
They listened to the players in SWG also. That destroyed the game.

It'll do the same here, eventually.


The best thing they could do is actually survey people IN GAME, insetad of on forums. For the life of me, I have no idea why they don't do those pop-up surveys while you play - like they did in beta.

If they really wanted authentic player information, they could get it this way, instead of listening to the 5% forum population.

This. I love all the other changes but honestly, they just threw in the towel on Ilum and no one cares? I mean I guess that's a statement as to how **** it was... but I was really hoping they would come up with some bright idea in 1.2 that might fix the broken zone and make it worth while.

Oh well. The other changes are good at least.

I think that is kind of the intention. The point should be to play the game to win, not to farm medals. I think you'll see more of a focus on actually winning now instead of just medal farming.

Another benefactor of this are full pug groups going against premades. The incentive will be to win as quickly as possible now rather than "farm medals" and hold at a fifth cap for example.

Looks like they are tagging the "low hanging fruit" easy to fix stuff first, which is sensible. I imagine Ilum will continue to suck until at least 1.2, but the WZ's are fun enough.

If this means I never have to set foot in Ilum again then this is a great patch!

FINALLY, a Sorc nerf! Well, sort of.

That would be a good idea, the surveys.

BW is just making small changes in line with the playerbase though. SWG changed total game mechanics based on the whims of players who wanted to be "LEWK SKAIWALKER"

So I also read that the campion bags are staying. Does this mean in addition to being able to buy champion tokens, you can also get the bags?

Why not also keep Battlemaster Bags along with the new 1k each com?

More people care about Ilum then they realize. I'm in a guild that's PvP centric and has 20-35 people online a night. Most people look FORWARD to fighting large scale fights on Ilum. They just are hard to come by, Repubs stick to warzones mostly.
