And hf finding a team that's willing to help the other team in winning just so you can quickly queue for the next wz. What the **** kind of idea is it anyway.? You play for "UBER PURPLZ" or to have fun beating others?



One of the better quotes of this entire forum tbh.
I suggest you read the other 12 pages then or at least re-read the OP as we detail exactly why its an issue multiple times but here it is just for Captain Ignorance here.

Huttball match

6-0 defeat with 4 medals = 2500 valor and 5 minutes play

1-0 win with 4-10 medals = 3500 valor and 15 mins play

In this situation losing deliberatly once at 4 medals can net a gain of 30k valor per hour played. Attempting to win in a hard fought situation nets 14k valor per hour played.

Can you really not see what the issue is here ??????

Lazy people like OP are just lazy.

This is not true PvP Mentality. For all of you PvP'ers out there don't encourage this pathetic 12yo behavior.

My work here is done. Nuff said.

they just have to add add a "Kick" option , and this new thing works better then before becouse when a team scores in huttball or plants a bomb or gets 2 turrets people was just leaving warzone. now they at least trying to get 4 medals.

Jesus can you people actually read.

I'm complaining about this happening, I'm complaining that BW where toild whilst on test that this would happen.

As far as I'm concerned you can outright remove everything from warzones and just have them there for fun, they would be a damn sight more enjoyable that way when people only enter them to actually compete and not just farm this, that or the other.

Apparently you didn't do any work because you have no idea what people are saying in this thread.

The zerg of people who are grinding valor and NOT bothering to try to win WZs is ruining them for those of us who love PvP and do our best to win!

Kick option won't do it at least not the way I believe you think the kick system will work...

The kick system WILL NOT work on a majority rules vote. TOO open for abuse. Seasoned PvPers will continuously kick brand new 50s in favor of their friends and/or other seasoned vets.

I forsee the kick system going like this... player A goes AFK cause he just wants free comms after capping medals, ops leader activates kick vote, everyone votes yes to kick player A, player A then has X amount of time to deny that they are afk or they will be kicked by the system.

That is the only logical way BW can implement a kick system WITHOUT allowing players to grief other players. If not and it is just a majority rules kick mechanic the abuse will be ridiculous
Every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth. Sooner or later that debt is paid.

As a tank spec getting 4 medals usual takes the first face off only anyway, at least in alderaan (mid) or void star... hutball is a little more tricky but also quite possible to do during the first goal try.

Another 12 medals... well I really donīt know why they add these.
Even dedicated healers who have it the hardest to get their medals imo can reach 4 easily (2 healing, 2 defense) done.

So why waste resources to add something that NO ONE needs?!

So long as there is gear progression PVP can never be for fun.

They should remove gear all together and make it purely cosmetic. The reason for PVE or PVP is the stat increases gained working the same way DATACRONS work.

Wanna gain expertise. Play a **** ton of PVP.


Doing either or for long periods of time increases your End Str etc.

Then whoever plays the longest is the strongest.

Or you could just say, HERE IS YOUR FREE EPIC PVP GEAR. NOW PVP.

But in order for that to work you'd have to design FUN warzones and make PVP FUN.

I miss UT2004. Everyone was on nearly the same level (except skill), nothing to unlock but it was fun as hell
to play. Then the xp bar happened.

Yeah, yesterday I have something like that too. Great game. And Huttball - 5-5 and my team end with defeat cause opposites handle the ball. But it was my best Huttball ever played.
