I want bolster for Flashpoints, Operations, and Heroic Missions


Recommended Posts

OP that is such a good story. I really can't pick "one part" that I liked the best. But if you were to hold a gun to my head, I would go with the part with the pictures. I just got off the phone with an armored truck company. They will be arriving in the morning to pick up my back up disk, which I just saved your story on to. There probably won't be much traffic, because I forwarded the police your story, and they agreed to escort the armored truck to its destination. At first the police chief didn't want to help, but then I guided his attention to the incredible pictures that you embedded along with your story. I mean, the story was good enough. But as soon as I saw the pictures that went along with it, I called my grandmother, who is blind and has Alzheimer’s disease to tell her. As far as her doctors in the nursing home are concerned, she is cured of all her ailments now that she heard your cool story. She is actually preparing to run the Boston marathon this year now. Thank you OP.

Is it a yes?

It's better to remove FPs. As soon as the LFG tool shows that you are grouped with 4 people, you automatically get the comms, and all the "lootz". This you don't even have to bother with fighting, tactics, learning your class and such.

 

Oh, and a 10 million credits for just logging in.

This may be the post of the year.

I would sooner cut off my dog's tail, ship it to Canada, have it embalmed in Canadian paper, soak it in orange juice and eat it.

 

Okay, that was a little too far. But in short: no. This would make PVE way to easy. It would be like making you level50 at the start of your class story.

I don't, in anyway, agree with the poster's assessment that PVE needs bolster...but is this not EXACTLY what bolster did in PVP? Make it easy for people who don't PVP to compete? Seems like there's a bit of hypocrisy floating around here as it was primarily the hard core PVEers complaining about PVP...

If you are going to boost people at 55 in PvP you might as well boost PvE as well.

 

 

It is only fair.

 

It would ruin the thing that built TOR: story. PvP has little story to it, just some background on the warzones. Now imagine a level 14 being bolstered up to face the Battle of Ilum. What? Where is Ilum? There is a war? Who is Malgus? Why am I dying?

 

The further we are from PVE bolster, the better.

Why does Level 55 PvP even have bolster? I get the 10-29, 30-54 but why would 55 need it? We're all the same level.

 

Because someone really smart in BW devs thought that this is the best way from preventing PvPers, who obviously saved all their comms before update, from acquiring 72 lvl hilts/barrels once they hit level 55 (which could theoretically be done in 1 day).

 

So, what BW did was... make PvP gear status run below 156 PvE gear, then added the lolster (official name for bolster in PvP) to make you gain status in 55 WZs. Needless to say that was not a very bright move, because it is causing PvPers problems in PvP and PvE. Someone in full conqueror can barely pull his/her weight in HM FPs now, and there are very few of them.

 

I do agree that having a bolster in PvE does not make sense, but you can see where the issue is stemming from. Before the expansion, PvP content had huge entry for PvEers to enter at max level, which was an issue. Now its the exact opposite. The idea was to make both content available for max level players who are geared up through any of the game aspects. Before expansion EWH was within 5-10% from DG. Now conqueror is about 25-30% of UW, not to mention that UW is currently top PvP gear :rak_02:

 

As a PvPer, 1) I am disappointed in the new PvP system, especially at lvl 55 2) I am disappointed that PvP gear gets you almost no where in PvE. Thus, I am generally disappointed in the expansion.

Because PvP, unlike PvE, has no real tiers of content to choose between based on your gneral level of gear progression. The difficulty is based on whoever you get put up against, and there's no real control over that.

 

In other words, because they presumably didn't want the situation we had with level 50 pvp - beginners in recruit gear existing as little other than cannon fodder for anyone who'd been playing for more than a couple of weeks and thus had massively superior gear, to the point that people in recruit gear were essentially useless to have around even against opponents in War Hero.

 

'Course, bolster is broken as all hell right now, so it hasn't worked out particularly well.
