Since reddit and the swtor forums seems to be on fire, I'd like to know everyones opinion on Ilum and explain how YOU would fix it

I don't pvp but I do understand some people are upset about it.

Some people spend days farming their high pvp ranks, and yesterday Imperials did that within hours.
Not to mention that this pvp gear exceeds most PvE gear which can be obtained by casuals.

How to fix it, I've got no clue - but they've got to do something about it.

So they fucked up illum in the last patch?

Not really Ilum, but the Ilum PvP zone.

Imperials are getting to PvP rank 60 which have taken some people 2-3weeks, they do it in a couple of hours now.

Just give the opposite side some overkill valor % say like 200-500x and give it for a extended period.

The current state is terrible and l know 30 people quitting because of the major imbalance like 20 v 100+

Just ask yourself..

Should they get more out of a game then you do when you pay the same?

I know l am joining the unsub bandwagon here shortly.

Sad but true

Because of a little world pvp zone? That's a horrible reason. And quitting this soon is like when people pirate an alpha version of a game and deem the game bad because of it. So much more will be put in and you're quitting because of it's percieved "lack of content"

They need to rollback all Valour gained on Ilum yesterday. Limit valour rewards.

The patch is just fine. The only problem arises when you are on a server and it is dominated by one faction. So that faction has more in the Ilum PvP area and then wins with sheer numbers. This is NOT a game issue, it is a population issue and even a strategy issue on the players end. Plain and simple.

On my server we have about a 3:1 ratio in favor of the Imps...all the PvP guys I know are whining about the Ilum PvP and Battlemaster gear and what not. It is like they are pissed because they can't go to that zone and sit in the middle next to Imps and just far the "Help the War Effort" Dailies/Weeklies.

Patch is fine Game plays as it should Players need to get better Players need to grow up and take the silver spoons out of their mouth.

Dominate faction (except for like 2 servers, towelliee's and some other, usually imperial) spawn camped the otherside for hours on end.
People reported getting as much as 1k valor a minute from it.
Went from just a few battle masters per server, to just silly amounts in a matter of hours.
Instead of immediately shutting down servers bw waits 6-8 hours to respond with "We've shut off the taxi system to it".
And says zero about a rollback + its too late for one now anyways.

Some people werent even able to play their character, had to log to an alt because they couldnt do anything to escape the grave yard.
The exploiters? Getting away scott free.
The pvp system? Boned because a ton of people got all their gear and ranks.
People? Of course their mad.




YEAH! If only those republics werent so bad!

ive not experienced much in Ilum... ive only had a 30vs40 battle which didnt end to greatly.. and was just being camped in the spawn spot... they need to change the amount of kills/armaments for daily and weekly tbh...

30 took ages to complete...

so im just gonna do the 150 for weekly when im not in a bg or something...

I still stand by my point. The imps had to control all the points before that happened. The Republic players failed. This is the result in war when you make mistakes. The Ilum PvP area's design is to simulate a warzone or battle front feel where there is constant give and take. Can you blame the imps for being smart and coming with a 40+ group to take the planet over? Come on now, why hasn't the republic bothered to do this? Hmmmmmmm, they should have done it at the release when they knew what the patch was going to do. The game is not broken or bad by any means. People are just playing behind the curve and having a problem playing catch up.


Btw, I am Republic on an Imp dominated server......
