1.1.5 Just got Updated.

Fixed.

It started out the same way over there as well. Bioware is making changes based on partial information is my only point.

Those surveys were excellent feedback - provided they don't spawn in combat. They can then get a much more reliable sample to adjust form.

I might be in the actual minority who enjoys Ilum. Or I might not be. Based on my own guild experience, I don't believe I am. Based on the forum QQing from a small % of people, I most certaily am. In the end, if they poll tens of thousands of players and most say screw Ilum, then hey...go with that.

This is the kind of incomplete data that ruins games over time.

Are you serious? Before it was 5 commendations for every medal, now it's 10 for every medal and you only have to get 4 to cap yourself out. You still get the same number of commendations for winning/losing as before. Are people in this game that dense and don't know how to read? I mean come on, I make fun of Biodrones all the time and I'm definitely not a fan of the game or Bioware; but the idiocy in this thread is borderline hilarious.

Wow, 4 ppl pick apart what I said by saying the same thing. Honestly I'm used to getting 8-9 medals by doing the objective. And usually only walk out of a -winning- warzone with 120-150 coms. Yes I'm aware that 8 medals current and 4 in 1.1.5 would be the same.

Not enough coffee yet this morning, so I read that as a literal cap on wz coms. Feel free to disregard the post at this point =D

*Goes and gets another cup*

If illum didn't have all the performance issues it did and it wasn't such a slideshow, more people would agree with you, that clearly isn't the case though. I would even enjoy fighting the Imperial zerg if I didn't get a massive slideshow that's 3 times worse than Warhammer's massive RvR battles that didn't have a player cap like illum does.

Yep, 4 will be the new 8. Meaning that people that focussed on medal farming, won't have to anymore. It also means that I can spec into a spec that will be more useful for my team, instead of speccing into a medal farming spec.

It's my understanding that you get comms for kills in wz's as well. This is just saying that the comms are capped at 40 with medals but it doesn't restrict the collection via kills.

I completely understand this counterargument. I've got a new PC, so even running max settings in it, I get minimal to marginal lag even with 50-60 on screen.

No idea what my actual FPS is as that number is so tiny it's the last thing I'm looking at.

If the bulk of surveyed people say yeah, it's unplayable for them, then by all means neuter it for now. The multitude of people aren't posting on the forums, and 'usually' that's because they have little to complain about. Not always, though (obviously).

The only thing I want to drill home here is Bioware should listen less to the forum opinions, and more to the actual in game opinions. That way you or I have no more 'ear' then our friends who play.

Yep. You pretty much get the same number of commendations at the end that you did before. Pure healers will get more, and pure tanks will get less, but all in all, it balances what each class/spec can get. So i don't see what's wrong with the change tbh. You can still get tons of medals, but you won't be rewarded just for being a medalwhore.

Btw, on the PTR each BM commendation is 1000/1000.

Wow, while lot those changes are great....the ilum daily counting for WZs is pretty awsome.

Now there is no reason to go to Ilum at all, woot!

Ok guys, we can't get engine to handle anything past 16 players and ends up a slide show for majority of users....so instead, let's make the zone redundant so no one even goes there. Talk about the laziest way to deal with a problem, ever. LOL!

edit. thank the gods of the internet whenever GW2 hits, massive W v W v W ftw. Not getting that here and by looks of this patch; never will.
