1.1.5 Just got Updated.

IMHO, the motivation is for your team to win the game. If you need rewards, winning usually gives you bonus valor/commendations.

If you go all out in warzones, you should be doing it for the objectives, not the medals.

What an awesome set of changes

*edit* forgot to quote.. was referring to kill trading on illum*

I've only heard people talking about it on these forums, they say it like there is nothing wrong with it, it's just sad.

I gotta hand it to the republic on swiftshaw, even when they are massively outnumbered, they put up the good fight, they expect no quarter, and they give none, and i think it motivates us as imperials, when we are in the uncommon situation of being outnumbered(like today, lol).

Not too crazy about this mainly because DoTs were a great thing to lay down if you were the only one defending a node on Civil or a door on Voidstar especially when half of your team is stuck behind the gate. Outside of that, some nice changes.

I accept the dot change, but still, I thought damage was damage? and damage interrupts, i mean, what was the problem exactly?

as someone who played SWG from launch until well after the CU and then NGE crushed the game i can't remember any of the player base requesting the CU or NGE changes which ruined the game.

you're ill unexperienced and ill-informed.

lol... in the words of Coach Herm Edwards... YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME.

And no, it penalizes the lazy tanks who could watch tv and smash taunt on everything and get 8+ every game.

I win like 95% of my games so i already win and get that reward, the medals were the only thing that kept me interested after i locked up a win in the first 2-3 minutes, not to mention what made WZ's somewhat of an original thing in SWTOR. I like being able to measure myself against other players and be rewarded for it? Actually getting some sort of reward for individual performance is such a ****** idea, reversing it is just so dumb. I should be rewarded for playing better doing more damage etc then players who suck (as the current system does).

Basically it seems like Bioware is pandering to bad players who want all the elite gear without any of the work.

Can you get four medals a wz match? Grats, you're a battlemaster.

And so it begins, as BW implements changes to the PvP system to make it more competitive and focused on objectives, the fairweather PvP players are going to start to whine. The ranking system is going to send people over the edge as they're forced to play people at their gear level.

"Why would I farm medals if you cutoff the number that awards valor?"

You don't. You aren't supposed to farm medals. You're supposed to play the objective. And before you say "I don't care about the objective", ask yourself what you're doing in a warzone. It's instanced, team-based pvp with a specific rule set and a clearly defined winner/loser. If you want deathmatch go play another game. PvP to win, and you'll see the rewards.
