Well, pretty soon we'll get to see who uses gear as a crutch and who's actually good.

I smell FEAR in this thread from those who aren't on board with these changes.

Good job Bioware. You still have much to fix and re-design, but at least you're listening and on the right track.

I almost want to re-up my sub again at the end of March, but I'm not convinced yet.

Keep going, though.
I think it's odd to have a low cap on rewards in warzones. It's pretty easy to get 5-8 medals regardless of what class you are, so why cap it at 4?

What's stopping people from getting 4 medals and then doing nothing, in order to valor grind quickly? Hell, they'd still probably get kills towards the Ilum dailies.

I always try to do more damage, score more in huttball, get more protection points, etc, there's less reward for going the extra mile.

Making Ilum useless is the most pro-Republic patch yet. I'll only miss running guerrilla tactics on Ilum, certainly not the fishing sessions that happened at the base.

Regarding content we already have i think the 1.5 patch will be the best one we will have in a long time.

Everyone in favor of this medal change patch is like that fighter who is 1-0 wondering why he isn't part of that championship fight after putting in no time.
You guys are borderline. So a healer on a good match, and that means a match where it's even and he has to heal nonstop, it's fair to him to get 3-4 medals (2,5k, 75k, 300k, and some 5k), while a tank on the same match can do perfectly 9 medals withouth counting a solo kill. That's fair.

Or that lovely stealth who stays on the other door / turret while nobody comes to him, just incase because someone has to.

If i listen again the "you choose to", i will give up to be honest. The level of retardness of you guys is amazing.

That's just my own speculation though.
Thats an interesting idea, I was just curious. It makes sense, but I really have no idea what to expect out of rated warzones. I sort of hope they don't make the same mistake as WoW did with Arena heroes making all other PvP meaningless via a rated specific set of gear. Even if they do though it won't bother me that much personally, people complain about gear in MMOs way more than is reasonable. You can totally kill someone better equipped than you in SWTOR, people just don't care to try, complaining on the forums is easier after all.

... you do realize that not all servers are the same right. Hopefully you're joking/trolling and I just didn't get it.

LOL, Pro-Republic Patch.

While I too prefer not base fishing, fact is it worked for both factions.

Imps got kills, Repub got kills.

I have yet to fail completing a weekly despite the faction imbalance.

I can only imagine that many just didn't like having to use some thoughful tactics to get kills other than just running to the middle of Illum to fight a horde of imps.

I could care less about the changes and look forward to more improvements as we go. As long as they happen before April 20th when my current sub runs out.

Oh well, your tears are delicious, keep the QQ train movin!
I'd prefer it if it was just skill, but at the very least I'd like to see skill to getting you there faster.

And the "sense of entitlement" is better found with those who want the elite rewards with less or no work.

These people feel they are entitled to battlemaster gear regardless of how good they are or how much time they've put in. Thats what a sense of entitlement is.

the fact that is not fun should stop them

the fact that people should do what is fun not what earn you reward faster because it's a game...

of course if i make a soccer team 5vs5 i can put the 4 people that know how to play in my team and the other 5 leave the bad player... but it wouldnt be fun....


people have no clue how to play anymore and then we blame BW

Is there a level of PvP gear post Battlemaster in 1.2?
