Mallakias Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 (edited) Just a quick comparison between the next set of cartel packs/items and the pvp rewards shall we? Gear/Weapons: From the cartel market: Ceremonial Armor Set - http://dulfy.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/swtor-ceremonial-armor-set_thumb.jpg Savage Hunter Armor Set (unfinished textures) - http://dulfy.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/swtor-savage-hunter-armor-set_thumb.jpg Intimidator Armor Set - http://dulfy.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/swtor-intimidator-armor-set-constables-stronghold-pack_thumb.jpg (male - http://dulfy.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/swtor-intimidator-armor-set-constables-stronghold-pack-male_thumb.jpg) Fortified Defender Armor Set - http://dulfy.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/swtor-fortified-defender-armor-set_thumb.jpg (male - http://dulfy.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/swtor-fortified-defender-armor-set-male_thumb.jpg) Ancient Socorro Rifle Cresh - http://dulfy.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/swtor-ancient-socorro-rifle-cresh-2_thumb.jpg Antique Socorro Sniper Rifle Besh - http://dulfy.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/swtor-antique-socorro-sniper-rifle-besh-2_thumb.jpg VS Pvp rewards: Baron Deathmark’s Huttball Helmet - http://dulfy.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/swtor-baron-deathmarks-huttball-helmet-2_thumb.jpg Mounts: Cartel packs: Fawn Orobird - http://dulfy.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/swtor-fawn-orobird-mount-2_thumb.jpg Onxy Orobird - http://dulfy.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/swtor-onyx-orobird-mount-2_thumb.jpg Dune Sea Bantha - http://dulfy.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/swtor-dune-sea-bantha-mount-2_thumb.jpg VS pvp rewards: none Bioware why is it that you have the time and resources to constantly come out with NEW as well as re skinned mounts and gear for the cartel market that costs real money yet you don't have time to give subscribers that spend months playing your endgame ONE new mount or even ONE new gear set? What was your purpose of the post you made titled "What Rewards would you like to see for Ranked PvP?"http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=735750?? It looks as if you have completely abandoned the post ignoring your active pvp community, the ones who do nothing else but log in and que for solo ranked, regular warzones or trying to get other groups to que for group ranked. The people who worked on their solo ranked or group ranked rating spent 3 months and 7 days pvping (in an elo system that not only does not work without a big pool of people/cross server implementation, but also the limitation of rules allow people to que up naked, without an advance class, or just plain leave without any consequences; let alone the que sincers, and people win trading on most servers due to server populations dyeing down) while subscribed and what do they have to show for it? a helmet and some trophy items for housing, an RP aspect of a game? Who are you catering to, the RP (roleplaying) community? I don't think pvpers wanted this. Bioware is this the future of ranked pvp/endgame pvp for swtor? if so please tell us now don't lie to your community and playerbase. As a pvper who must stay subscribed to play ranked i want to know the kinds of rewards i can expect for putting in 3-4months of ranked pvp gameplay. Thank you. Just a suggestion that many pvpers that i play with have agreed on is making this into an arena reward mount, an armored colicoid war games arena beast. http://static.swtor-spy.com/img/guides/2012/03/Screenshot_2012-02-08_18_01_42_273437-1024x640.jpg Most of the links came from Dulfy.net Thank you dulfy for the organized info. http://dulfy.net/2014/08/05/swtor-season-two-pvp-rewards-on-pts/ http://dulfy.net/category/swtor/stronghold-pack/ some other packs of gear and items and mounts that bioware had time to come out with for money - http://dulfy.net/2013/02/04/swtor-cartel-market-pack-list/#1 Edited August 6, 2014 by Mallakias Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaLeX Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Cut the malakias bra. :-) They don't care because theres no money in it and only negligible handful will unsub because of yolo and no, im not a fanboy, it's just that obvious. It was a PR stunt that went sour. End of story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediMasterSLC Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 It's quite apparent why: they care far more about nickel and diming the playerbase than improving the quality of the actual game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyakaschala Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 honestly, most of that stuff looks terrible, besides which, it's just pixels that mean nothing in terms of character power What we need is more legacy gear. Which is currently only available thru rep vendors. I typically run with legacy gear on pretty much all my toons. 1 set for pvp, and 1 set for pve. Pretty simple. Makes for better chances of maxing out loot per armor sets when you can get the gear on each side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DARKheartLAND Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 (edited) I believe it is time to stage a Coup d'état! Let's join forces with pitchforks and torches and overthrow this corrupt government that BW has created and continues to shove down our throats! Let's march to their HQ and burn our hard-earned money stacked in the shape of Baron Deathmark's Huttball Helmet!

Shrilokka Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 (edited) Dude, that helmet is awesome and you know it. Why just a helmet though? Are they so lazy that they can't give us an entire set? Plus the helmet is so out there I bet it'll look like crap with most existing sets Edited August 6, 2014 by Shrilokka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxeDragoneth Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Its idiots like you who can't let any constructive criticism be allowed to stay that ruin this game. Congratulations. It's idiots like these who can't be happy with anything and need lameass pixels as incentive to play a game that are ruining the game. Congratulations for playing and kudos to your condescending response to my sarcasm. The helmet is cool. The helmet is unique. It's not a full armor set and that upsets me. People complaining about not getting mounts or reskinned items are idiotic hypocrites who complained about getting those exact things as season one rewards. If you look past the caps lock you'll see that was my point. This community will never be happy, but EAware isn't doing much to make us happy in the first place. They just want to promote new **** that has nothing to do with pvp because pvp doesn't matter to them. The sooner you come to terms with this, the less rage you'll feel and can laugh at all of these whiners with me. People shouldn't need rewards to play ranked. People should play ranked to get better at their class. I'm upset about the rewards sucking, too, but you know what? I don't care. Neither should any of you. Rewards should be renamed to "Bonus Items" that require higher ranks to achieve. Give some real incentive and only give them to people 2k+, then we'd only hear QQ from .02% of the population about how "rewards suck" and the rest would be a mix of "I'll never get that high because I suck at this game!" and "L2P."

tempMentive Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 A reskinned Rancor, or even a Walker, would have kept the PvPers happy and in check... But instead we get this garbage POS legendary helm? SWEET! IT NEVER HAS TO BE REPAIRED! OMG!!!! And oh plz, the top 3 in each class are all saying "What a waste of time" for the dumb title.

JeffrenBrek Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I feel this is a good time to point out that all the listed cartel market items look utterly awful. But don't stop your rant on my account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
