Bug Report | Battleground

[Bhrom]

<p>There are some pretty common issues that have been happening with the battlegrounds, some for a while, some post this update. I would be nice to ensure you have good visability (Sony Developers) of these issues and inform the community that you all have an action plan to get them fixed.</p><ul><li>First and formost - bugged groups, where some individuals will be put in the middle of the tundra, unable to engage/be engaged nor gain credit for the BG. Leaving early results in truency (sp?) ; highly annoying and a waste of time</li><li>Raid weapons/gear that is not supposed to function in BG's absolutely functioning and causing people to use those over PVP weapons etc</li><li>Some abilities allow for the idol to be dropped in Gears (Crusader Joust ability, been there since start of BGs)</li><li>Beastlord < a bunch > ; gear not usable (all scouts etc) ; No PVP weapons ; Specialized Blue adorns do not include</li></ul><p>Imagine other players can add more to this list; lets get the latest as of December of 2011. And it would be nice from the developers to acknowledge some of these issues and at least say they are on your LIST! I am not looking for a correction date, just that you have acknowledge these are issues.</p>

<p>1. <em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Put toughness back on mastercrafted armor!</span></em> Too many new players quit since they did this as they no longer have a hope of staying alive.</p><p>2. <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Allow us to sell back old BG gear for tokens!</em></span> I have a bunch of old BG gear that is usless now that the tundra sets are out. It would be nice to be able to sell them back for tokens to re-equip with the better stuff.</p><p>3. <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Please set the gears relic so its not affected by casting speed!</em></span> Its crazy when you can never grab the relic due to someone else that can pick it up in 1/100th of a second.</p>

<p>There is a difference between revision and editing, and this thread is about pointing out the mistakes (grammar/spelling mistakes = bugs in programming language (at least, when not dealing with quest dialog or text edits)), not recreating game mechanics to accommodate a new direction (Giving toughness on MC would give others the opportunity to PvP without having the PvP gear, which may or may not encompass where SOE is going with this).</p><p>As for bugs... there is no way to queue outside of champion's respite. There are many more, but that's all I can remember for now.</p>

<p>  Another Gears mechanic thats been there since the beginning is Druids being able to use specialty heals for the Gears relic damage, while Shaman & Clerics can not.   Since wards and reactives dont work, it makes druids much more desireable in a gears match (Wardens).   Its not a Priest imbalance per se', but the mechanics should allow for <strong><em>all</em> </strong>Priest subclass specialty heals or <em><strong>none at all</strong></em>.</p><p>  I would personally vie for none at all...it would be a small change that wouldnt greatly affect the current gameplay.    Contrary to popular belief, druids are NOT underpowered and a good warden/fury can keep a relic holder alive for much longer than any other archetype.   Its actually pretty crazy.   Not a huge imbalance...but i always wondered why such an imbalance was there in the first place.   </p>

They had no jewlery/weapons and the toughness was lower then the BG armor. The idea was to keep them from getting 1-shotted by everything including rabid kittens in BGs.</p>
