5.0 is killing PVP

I think I heard this before from their live stream but do not know for sure. if this is the case; I'm pretty much done wit the game for sure, whether I enjoy it or not.

What is happening is that Bioware realized that the new content they are bringing with expacks is not sufficient. Story is very easy content without difficulty and can not retain players by itself alone. So they have to retain players with something else than story, they don't have the means to do a lot more flashpoints and operations, so their fix for this is to raise the grind level for acquiring gear. That means that you player will have to work a lot harder to get the same gear as before the expack. This explains why they operated a step back from the previous system, returning to an RNG one for gearing. Re actualizing old content through grind. Less content, more grinding is the price to have a single player story in this game. This also explains why, they wiped out pvp commendations. Changing how gearing works hallowed them to wipe out what you earned by pvping. They don't want you to be full gear as soon as the expack goes live, They want you to work again . They gave you some credits to compensate, And that's all.


I bought 2 months of subscription in october, but since the preview of 5.0 gearing I lost all will to log in game and continue to pvp. As far as I am concerned, my reaction is to not renew my subscription for december-january.

Sorry for my gibbering, English is not my native language, but I had to post something to explain What I understood from 5.0.

I think it was not an official info. It still subject of change but I don't think they will change only daily weekly reward for PvP. Because rewards not only for PvP are linked to dailes, also Galactic Starfighter reward is only for dailies, Operations is for weekly. As I see FP and Chapters and Uprisings are not linked to daily or weekly quest.

Heck, I'm an utter Debbie Downer on this whole new system, but even I don't think they'd be silly enough to make only dailies and weeklies award CXP heh. That would be... epic.

And you also get them in Ranked wins too. But if you don't win, You don't get any CXP.
In the pug queue, you have zero control over your teams. We'll end up getting farmers, undergeared and unqualified pvpers in our teams. You may end up doing 20 matches and losing everyone because of noobs.
The other side effect of this, which I'm amazed the Ranked community is raging all over the forums about, is that it will totally destroy ledgitmate ranked players ratings.

So yeah, they are definitely silly enough to do what they are doing, more than silly, down right stupid. They should be made to wear Mong helmets from now on.

It is killing because pvpers are already leaving because they see no reason to hang around now. They're all off trying new games to replace this one.

just remembered...how about repairs? money for repairs? pvp gear didnt need repairs, only pve one! but now?if u want to jump from a fp to wz u must repair gear first i guess...

Doesn't pvp gear break too when using it in pve right now? If so, I don't see the difference

The difference is...as pvp-er i dont do pve! now i will be forced to!

I won't be doing any pve. If that becomes a major requirement for me to play and enjoy pvp, then I'm gone for sure.

At least if pvp gear got slightly damaged outside of pvp, it was extremely easy to repair.
