if you guys payed attention you dont get a reward until you earn 3 medals to prevent against afkers joining games and getting credit for doing nothing. Its actually smart! Quit the QQ

this isnt true. ive played about 12 games today and had about 5 losses. for each of the losses i had anywhere from 7-11 medals and i earned zero credits for each loss. the wins i was netting about 2-3k credits. so no, its not 3 medals and get credits/comms. if its not a win, u get nothing.

u should get rewarded based on ur accomplishments / medals u earn in the match. the winning team should definitely get a bigger reward but the losers shouldnt just get nothing. it wasnt like that before and it shouldnt be that way now.

And if you read with your thinger, you'll notice we still could end up with less than 3 medals while actually doing the job.

If they add "damage taken" and "deaths" as medals, this would be good though... but still not fun.

And if you had read my first post clearly you would have learned that this is not the case. Since I had both losses with 5 or more Medals and for 1 i got credits and the other none.

It's also annoying if you get into a game with less than 3 mins left and your team is losing no way you can get the required amount of medals in that time and so you end up with nothing and a waste of time.

Nothing meant as offense meant directly at you, but seriously people? Have we seriously taken the "everyone is special" crap to the next level? I mean, I was a bit perturbed by not getting money for losing a match, but I also knew that there were two other reasons I played WZ: to play with other players and TO WIN!!! I don't go in thinking, "golly gee, I hope that I win so that my feelings don't get hurt or that I'm not wasting my time gaining valuable lessons in tactics or how to better play in a PvP server." I go in thinking, "Hey, I hope I win." The end. If I lose, then I lost and I'll try better next time.

Stop thinking that you deserve something at every friggin corner of everything!!! These people work hard to bring you this game. You have the game now and you have other means of making credits. Don't like it? Don't know what to tell you. Get over it.
This kind of thinking will cause the GAME to fail, you might not like BW catering to casual players but news flash, casual players keep the game going.

They truely messed this one up.
I have seen pvp go sour like this on new games before. The same thing always happens. People start to cancel in groups and by the guild at a chance for a better game. Ques get longer, world pvp vanishes.
BW won't fix it, they can't please everybody.
Such is life in the almost exciting world of pvp.

holy crap

These trolls are hilarious.

Anyone who supports the current state of 1.2 warzones, are obviously in need of help.

Yes, I agree that healers got the biggest possible shaft with the recent patch . . I have gone two games now with 0's across the board because I try healing a pug group. People will never spec healing again if this continues (unless you are in a hard core pvp group). For those of us that like PvE and like SOLO queuing . . forget it
.
I can't handle pugs running in and dying like crazy while I am trying to heal them . . insta death = insta . . nothing.

I accept you have no control over others in a made up team... but loosing is loosing... communication is always possible in a WZ simple chat can eleviate lack of strategy.. sure not all members are geared or no the wz etc etc but the same applies to the other team.. it all comes down to who can overcome the odds better....

Look at it from another perspective.. say 2 or 3 players join ur WZ team.. they sit inside just inside WZ and maybe even go sneak mode.. then basically pike the WZ without making an effort... sure your being penalised but you have the option to try and go on or leave the WZ... the Pikers loose, you dont have to

Re-ques.. yes I agree that thats an unfortuante side effect if you are forced to make that decision to leave the WZ.. but there are also situations where recalling out so that your mates in the opposite team have a greater chance of winning... so this can also be seen as your penalty for leaving grp.

Either way.. credits are easy to come by, you dont have to repair after WZ's and valour will always generally increase as doe XP (very easily)
