  1. That's not the only issue: https://forums.swtor.com/topic/926577-pvp-scoreboard-bugs/ But I don't PvP as much anymore due to their latest bs, so maybe they fixed it in the meantime, but I doubt it.
  2. Not saying this is incorrect, but just as an FYI: if I'm not mistaken the launcher is (for a big part) also based on a solution from a third party vendor. Although that still doesn't absolve BW of course.
  3. We are all afraid of your ass whuppin', so we stop queueing when you're online.
  4. It's quite clear "match ditchers" are not the only ones being affected. And even then...
  5. Not sure if this has been discussed before, but if BW wants this "battle record" to have any meaning - which I guess they do as otherwise it would not have been added - being backfilled in a match, have the match end in the next 30s, and then have this counted towards your win/loss ratio is rather ridiculous. I guess nobody would complain too much if it's a win, but it still doesn't make any sense. Yes, I know this is far from the only issue. This is an additional issue nonetheless, IMO. Initial idea would be not to have backfilled losses count toward win/loss ratio, but this is obviously a teribble idea, especially as it may be abused. Not count a backfilled win/loss at all? Also not a great idea. Don't backfill if the match is about to end anyway? Still doesn't solve it completely as the amount of time left in many cases is probably not enough to have any meaningful impact anyway. Also, question then is, which amount of time left is the threshold. Trying to solve this issue with the severe lock-outs they have currently? An even worse idea and obviously also not working. Maybe show a message to the player that (s)he's about to be backfilled, so (s)he has the chance to decline being backfilled and thereby prevent the W/L ratio issue if the player cares about it at all? Any other ideas on how to solve this? Any other MMOs with a similar system; how do they solve this?

    Solos Ruin PVP

    Feel free to send me a pm if you ever feel the need to talk.
  7. Aha, so that's what I've been doing wrong. Thanks.
  8. @TrixxieTriss My bad for the off-topic, but: that's good information. Can you please tell me how to add someone to my ignore list on the forum? I can't seem to find this option. Maybe you can link me to a relevant thread? Thanks.
  9. I have noticed the same behavior as described by the OP. "Having a bad driver" doesn't make too much sense really. Although I did not (yet) verify for myself, what @SteveTheCynic is stating on the other hand, sounds very plausible. Meaning it's not a matter of "winning the lottery", it's simply a matter of a certain setting being used or not (in your case, not, I would assume). So if it's indeed the windows scale factor, I guess it's not a bug, it's a feature 😑
  10. Getting a lot of medals does not mean you're a good player. It simply means you're good at doing what needs to be done to earn said medals. In an ideal world, those two things would coincide. In practice however, they do not. And in my opinion, they never truly will. They can definitely improve upon the current situation. But they will never be able to automatically award medals with 100% accuracy only when contributing to the team, because this is simply not a trivial thing to define. I'm 1v8ing at enemy pylon for the entire round. I'm obviously doing something good. I'm 1v2ing at the enemy pylon, I get killed. Did I contribute by stalling and were my team mates able to cap/grab orb in the meantime, or did I just give the enemy team points from being killed? Not so clear this time. Bad example maybe, but you get the point. As others have pointed out; you could be essential to your team's victory (by stalling, clearing ramps in HB for ball carrier, ... ), and not get any medals for it. But as said: this is not something trivial to define medals for.
  11. The only reason, or at least one of, that medal count was so high, is presumably because of a lot of medals for winning within x minutes. It's been posted by numerous people that getting medals as a healer is, let's say, not the easiest. Seemingly gloating with that thread is not very constructive; especially as I only see that happening with VS. Unless someone can show screenshots from WZs different than VS where people consistently get such a high medal count, getting 19 medals in only VS is irrelevant for the bigger discussion at hand. If someone does come up with such screenshots, I will gladly admit that I'm wrong. Until that time, we should not claim there's no issue, just because of a single VS game. Please, I urge BW to do listen to these other people.

    Valor in 7.2

    Why is it absurd? It serves its purpose perfectly. So? If you want the title, you have to put in the effort. Why is this absurd? Agreed. However, I would hope that by the time you reach valor 100, you would've picked up something along the way.
  13. What does 64 bit, according to you, have to do with any of this?
  14. Yeah, even if I'd have the time; I don't want to. I don't care about operations. Neither should I have to, to be able to PvP without a disadvantage (if actually the case).
