Anishor Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Thank you for posting this at the start of the season Alex, lets people plan and should take away some of the anxiety about having lower ELO, increasing more participation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torvai Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 How many tokens are awarded per match? Or none at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alec_Fortescue Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) Can we, please, fix the rating gain/loss system before the middle of the season? I am affraid of participating, because I will end up, again, being the best player in the team being dragged down by trolls, sync queuers and bads... It's pretty crazy that at 1200 rating the game treated me as if i was some top 30 and "rewarded" me with -15s for lost games and awarded with +9.

Kakisback Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 It's cool that you posted this at the start of the season, but why do you refuse to give unique rewards for group ranked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dev Post AlexModny Posted July 22, 2015 Author Dev Post Share Posted July 22, 2015 It's cool that you posted this at the start of the season, but why do you refuse to give unique rewards for group ranked? Not a refusal, we just want to make sure we do it right and offer something that is appropriate and enticing without making people feel they have to do Group Ranked to get the reward they really want. It is a balancing act and we haven't found that perfect reward yet. If you have ideas for a Group specific reward (or any season rewards!) please post them in the Reward Suggestion thread, I check it every time there is a new post. Cheers!

MythosHero Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 No plans for armor sets? Or will those potentially fall under one of the tiers' "Unique PvP Item" rewards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You dont seem to have that issue with operations.....Several mounts that you can only get in OPs. Personally I am completely in favor of that design. There's plenty of reskins going around but the concept of "everybody wins" to me is lame. The point of end game is to get something unique that you work towards. If we all know there is just going to be a reskin a few weeks later then the entire appeal goes away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaSixFett Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Weapon set 20,000. Curses, I was kinda hoping the weapons would be separated out, so I could pick and choose which ones to strive for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerba Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) I just got 140 tokens for my first victory with full medals. So with slightly over 10 victories, you can purchase the bronze title without having to worry about Elo, and 10 victories are definitely doable in a 3-month period. The new reward structure is great; I'm going to play some more this season, maybe I'll even have enough tokens for the crystal lockbox or the titles. Not a refusal, we just want to make sure we do it right and offer something that is appropriate and enticing without making people feel they have to do Group Ranked to get the reward they really want. It is a balancing act and we haven't found that perfect reward yet. If you have ideas for a Group specific reward (or any season rewards!) please post them in the Reward Suggestion thread, I check it every time there is a new post. I'm happy that there is no separate Group Ranked reward anymore like there was for the crystal lockbox. I'd be fine with something small like a title or trophy decoration but anything bigger would discourage me from doing Rated PvP. There are just way too many things to do in this game (I mainly PvE) that I don't have time for a fixed rated group. You dont seem to have that issue with operations.....Several mounts that you can only get in OPs. Personally I am completely in favor of that design. There's plenty of reskins going around but the concept of "everybody wins" to me is lame. The point of end game is to get something unique that you work towards. If we all know there is just going to be a reskin a few weeks later then the entire appeal goes away. Well, the raiders just got screwed by having the Denova tank from EC NiM put on the Cartel Market. Not only does it look much nicer, it also has a mount flourish. And unlike PvP, you actually have to use your mount in PvE. Yet you don't see any PvE player complaining about that (the ones I talked to are busy farming credits to be able to afford that mount) so I can think we stop with the entitlement of PvPers. Add to that the fact that nightmare mounts never disappear while rated rewards are only available for a limited time.

OMGITSJAD Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) Thanks so much for lowering the kill medal requirement and not tying it to killing blows. I can finally get a decent amount of medals as a Sniper in arenas as long as me and my team don't get stomped.

SlightlySychotic Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Weapon set 20,000. Curses, I was kinda hoping the weapons would be separated out, so I could pick and choose which ones to strive for. Yeah, I was hoping the same thing. That would let me play on a few different alts and earn a weapon for each one. As it is, I'm going to have to put effort into one character and just hope I don't tank like I did last season. 20,000 minus the comms from earning bronze . . . you'll need about 100 victories. Yeesh, just thinking about playing a hundred arenas matches is enough to make me want to jump out a window. Any word about possibly adding objective matches for season 7? *wink*wink*nudge*nudge*glaaaaare* Not a refusal, we just want to make sure we do it right and offer something that is appropriate and enticing without making people feel they have to do Group Ranked to get the reward they really want. It is a balancing act and we haven't found that perfect reward yet. If you have ideas for a Group specific reward (or any season rewards!) please post them in the Reward Suggestion thread, I check it every time there is a new post. Cheers! Solo player here, but I would still suggest increasing the payout for group matches. The group queue is naturally going to be less populated, the competition more fierce. That means it'll be harder for interim level players to save up for higher rewards than they can earn which will discourage many players from picking up group. You'll also encourage more group participation without making anyone really feel "forced" to participate in that queue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnapaneti Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Would be nice making each weapon separate and buyable for dont know 1500 tokens each , so people that dont want some weapons can only buy those they are interested in and dont waste more time farming more tokens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teclado Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 This is perfect, thanks! I am of the opinion that the titles should not be purchasable - otherwise they tend to lose their meaning. A player having a tier 1 title could have hit the tier 1 rating, or perhaps they never even hit bronze but simply played an insane number of games. I'm not really into titles and would not purchase one regardless, but for those who care about such things, having them purchasable makes them lose their meaning IMO. Overall, I like it. Thanks a bunch for the time put into this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordTurin Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Is there a reason the ranked daily reward is so little? Its a couple medpacks and 10 season 6 comms, when you get 100 of those per match. Some warzone comms, or more Season 6 comms would be much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naribaarur Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 What if I reach silver rank in both group and solo? Will I get 52000 tokens or only 26000? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMGITSJAD Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 (edited) What if I reach silver rank in both group and solo? Will I get 52000 tokens or only 26000? I've only done enough g ranked matches to get a rating for one season sadly but when I did I'm pretty sure I didn't get double the rewards at the end of the season iirc(could be misremembering though). So I would assume this would be the same(though they should probably change that). Edited July 25, 2015 by OMGITSJAD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GSpopp Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Rewards for placing in Top 96 (Top 3 Characters per Advanced Class World Wide) What does this mean exactly? top 3 characters per advanced class doesn't equal out to 96 or I'm just misreading it?

Jinre_the_Jedi Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Rewards for placing in Top 96 (Top 3 Characters per Advanced Class World Wide) What does this mean exactly? top 3 characters per advanced class doesn't equal out to 96 or I'm just misreading it? Top 3 per advance class per queue type (group and solo) So 6 Shadows, 6 Assassins, etc, because 3 for solo, 3 for group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
