gormanster Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Whoever this so called "pvp" guy is at Bioware, has no idea how to do his job. Rationally, here's what it boils down to. Pre-Ilum patch battlemasters, have 2+ sets of FULL champion gear sets (i personally have 8+ of somet items like earrings). Getting boxes with nothing but champion tokens, to which i have absolutely zero use for, is just moronic. I literally log in every day, do my two dailies, then log off -- mind you however, as a repulbic player where my server loses 75-80% of the time, coupled with the god awful bug where wins dont count for daily / weeklies, this takes a few hours. Why can't we have some sort of conversion rate? 50 champions = 1 token? SOMETHING!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pashgan Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 (edited) If I'll ever hear name "Gabe Amatangelo" or "warhammer pvp team" - I'll avoid that game at all costs. Frustration guaranteed. Already seen people with "war hero" title and only two-three BM items. 5-7 tokens while gaining 10 levels? Really?

They need to make the gear have Valor ranks on it,cause as of now once you hit 60 there isn't any point after 60.It wouldn't be hard to do. Valor 40-50 for T1 Valor 51-60 for T2 Valor 61-70 for T3 Valor 71-80 for T4(when they add it) etc.. But at least the game has a dynamic story.

Ceasaigh Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 They need to take away the dam random gear! Why on earth make it so you have to cross your dam fingers every time you open a bag! I earn the commendations I should be able to buy the stuff I need. Increase the costs of items reduce the number of commendations. What ever to balance it out. But PvP gear should not be random in nature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haeso Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Probably not, but they wouldn't feel as though they're wasting their time and being spit on by bioware. Random mechanics are what lazy developers use to extend the lifespan of terrible content. It's pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't he the guy who ruined DoAC pvp too? And i dont mind "working" for my gear, but I want to play a game, that im rewarded for how much time i put in, and can earn more gear/items the more time i put in the game. Random bag chance? Fine. But give me some option where i can grind it out by putting in more hours; don't make me play an entire week and literally have NOTHING to show for it.

donlep Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 im in the same boat no reason whatsoever to play beyond the 2 dailies there absolutely NEED to be something to grind after 60 that will improve my character i dont want to play an alt but that is in effect the only option i have either let us buy BM tokens at a high cost, or even better make a system like the one from daoc as it is WZ/MERC coms are totally useless, there is no reason whatsoever to be in illum past the 30 kills/armaments, and none for playing WZ's beyond the 3 daily wins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xSkynet Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 (edited) I'm giving LoL a shot, until gw2/d3. Got a max level LoL toon named..get this "Omega Relay" named after the Mass effect wormhole. I WAS such a Bioware fanboy before this mess, Dragon Age was literally my favorite game ever. And DAOC my favorite mmo (save planetside, which is more mmofps). So naturally I though omg my 2 favorite companies making a game together...DAOC pvp mixed with Biowares immersive story telling.....I built a whole new rig for this game too, how could it be so bad i just don't get it. No one from DAOC must still be working for Mythic on SWTOR. Dragon Age was so amazing, the lore, immersion, and the way the npcs and companion interacted with each other.

I'm guessing at least 5-6 days played to get there. How do you think i feel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasamuneX Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 A few of my guildies are also on the verge of quitting due to the random nature of this. Personally I've gotten 66 champ coms now and 4 BM comms. I wonder if they actually realize spending 2-3 hours a day doing dailies for 0 rewards turns people off, sometimes to the point of unsubbing... It wouldn't be so bad if those champion comms could actually be used for something useful... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverspar Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 (edited) Oh no, poor kiddies aren't getting instant gratification. 3 whole days. ZOMG. Seriously. Just stop. Considering how many of you got easy mode battlemaster, good thing that the RNG is at least slapping you back into reality.

Satans_Puppet Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 To be honest, I'm a patient gamer but we spend our time going all the way to BM and praying for champion gear which most will have a full set by the time they hit BM levels (I only have one centurion piece). But then all we get is CHampion comms in the BM Bags... seems a bit silly. I'd like to at least see some Health Stims or something in the bag, it's really annoying to keep spending comms on bags that are useless to me but I totally get that we shouldn't be getting gear straight away and I'm happy to increase my valor ranking through warzones after battlemaster because I know there will be more gear and titles at a late date Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romir Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 As a valor 67 pre-1.1 battlemaster I've opened 42 BM bags and have 2 pieces of BM gear (belt and gloves) to show for it, and they were from before the patch. Post patch I've gotten 18 bags in a row now without BM commendations. Incidentally I also have 2 pieces of rakkata gear, including the mh, from one hard mode operation run that took less than 2 hours on the first try. This compounds with my unfortunate choice of a bottom tier pvp class, the sniper/gunslinger. It's gotten more frustrating by the day and I'm at the point where I've stopped playing.
