1.1.5 Just got Updated.

Sorry to interrupt all the crying and yelling but, was this patch released today or... :>?

It's really not that hard to overcome a gear advantage if you're playing your class right. I could regularly take out BM sorcs when I was all champ/centurion gear.

If you're trying to 1v1 a BM darkness sin or something, you're probably doing it wrong.

Players affected by a Damage Over Time ability are no longer interrupted when interacting with objectives.

This is one thing I will not like. Anyone marked with a DOT will take damage. Not sure why taking damage when capturing a turret will not agro them...

To interrupt someone capturing, you have to hit them with something. Having hit them with something 8 seconds ago isn't hitting them with something now. Seems reasonable to me.

My DOT sets a player on fire. Could you really cap a point when you're on fire?

I kid...

I understand that. But a DOT does cause the person to take damage. Damage breaks the timer when they are going for the objective. Why doesn't it stop it? It does damage. Why not make the DOT not do any damage?

Actually, you're wrong. The point of PVE gear (and PVP gear) is to equip your TEAM better so your TEAM can win more often. A team is only as bad as their weakest links, and despite the epeen-swinging elitists on here claiming they've been winning warzones single handedly for years, the facts are that most of the other 7 people in the warzone also contribute. There will always be freeloaders who do nothing, but those who do contribute in champ gear, will contribute more in BM gear.

Just like with a raid (and I'm used to having to equip 50+ people), distributing the gear is FAR more effective than having a couple of exclusively geared supermen.

I kind of see what you are getting at. I play a Scoundrel. I have I think one DOT. It is not an AOE DOT, but it is a DOT none the less. If someone is capping a door in Voidstar and I hit them with the DOT. They take damage, why wouldn't it stop them from capturing it? It makes them take damage, damage negates the countdown.

I imagine this will stop a lot of the crying on the forums. Every one of these changes seems like they are really listening to the players.

No more medal farming.
Valor up quicker in WZs.
No more Ilum box hunting.
No more instant Alderaan side speeders.
More medals for healers (kill credit).
No more DoTs interrupting caps.

Bioware is listening, gentlemen.

People were just trading on my server anyway, which essentially amounts to exploiting.

Hopefully they'll rework it to something similar to Wintergrasp. 2 sides, every so often, duking it out, only one winner.
