You Need To Reward Open World PvP - ASAP!

all the things you list are ****** rewards anyway bro..


full loot, territory control = rewarding.

Yep, this is INSANELY needed. With no reward to kill enemy players, pvp feels pointless and boring, give us experience, money, tokens, titles, random drops, anything...

I finished my queue and can now confirm this. I have NO merc commendations in my currency inventory at all, even though I killed 3 enemy players in Tatooine last night, 2 of them higher level and 1 lower than me.

In short, this is.. shocking.

I wonder if they only reward max level world PvP in Ilum?

Makes sense, as I've seen no sub-level 50 items available for Mercenary commendations.

But the simple fact that they HAVE Mercenary commendations suggests that they're going to implement their use soon, regardless.

Still, I think it's very unfortunate if you won't be rewarded for open world PvP as a low level.

You should blame the horrible instancing in this game for that.


EVEN IF Bioware decided to give open-world pvp rewards how can you do any pvp if we are devided to the point where the second more then 15 people enter 1 zone somebody gets thrown into a different instance??

Uhh, no.

I said 'totally disingenuous' in my OP for a reason, I knew you get Merc commendations for Illum PvP - and Georg knew it too, that's why he was able to claim you get rewards for Open World Pvp - but THAT's the disingenuous part!

He knows Illum is hardly Open World, and that you also don't get rewards from REAL Open World pvp - and the fact that the rewards from wz's VASTLY outweigh any measly reward they have for Open World PvP (fyi, it's not hard to beat nothing).

If you knew what you were talking about, you'd know this too - or you're being disingenuous as well.

they should have implemented pvp servers with factional balance in the first place.
instead we have huttball wz ad nauseam, and hardly any republic player to kill in world pvp.
THAT is the major problem to be fixed.
after, the world pvp needs to be worked on. that include personal and faction wide rewards, and fleshing out of Objective based world pvp zones such as illum.
give us the thrill of pvp, this is supposed to be the most antagonistic faction based game, yet I feel like playing hello kitty online.

I was making my way through the quests in Alderaan and I got my first kill on a Jedi Sentinel! I paused and waited for some sort of huge Codex update, achievement to flash my screen, some sort of guild message to let everyone know I just got my first wpvp kill or something. AND NOTHING HAPPENED, NOTHING!

/cry

nobody even noticed except the dead Jedi

Oh, that brings up another subject, how come I can't see who someone is targeting? I can't tell if Joe over here is targeting me or you. Seems like an easy fix there too

Im with you guys.
We need someone from dev team to show up here and say something.

He doesn't "know" Ilum is hardly open world PvP. That's THEIR version of it, because it happens in a large part of the world.

I'm all for minor rewards for random world PvP - but I'd never actually do that much if they don't implement proper objectives.

You're trying to make your vision of open world PvP into the only vision.

That's not dishonest - but I'd say it's rather narrow-minded.

Implementing major rewards for random ganking would be VERY detrimental to the game. It has nothing to do with a War. War is about land and objectives. It's not about ganking people and getting medals for being an ***.

What we can probably agree on, is that they should implement MORE open world PvP - rather than what Ilum seems to be. But I think we both know SWtOR will never be a primarly PvP game. If you don't, then you're being very naive.
