illum valor exploit

[xZer0x]

When you destroy the turrets in illum when your faction controls illum you will be awareded with valor
now the thing is there is no diminishing return on the valor you get, The DR is only for players atm + the turrets respawn instant. this mean lots of valor in a short period of time use this quik because my server is already fully aware of it and soon this will be fixed.

Goodluck

Which Turrets? the ones inside or outside the base

[xZer0x]

Inside, so be prepared my server is farming there spawn place so they can kill the turrets 2kvalor/min that way grab all of your servers pvp players and head to illum

Here is the problem were facing on our server and I'm sure many others are having. Lots of republic resistance keeping us off the cannons. The fix is to push them back, have your range aoe right between the cannons where they re-spawn and have melee pick off the stragglers. One you have sufficiently annihilated them they will relent and leave you to your very profitable turret farming.

And how this is an exploit? This is the design of the game.

Man, wish my updater would hurry so i can get this in.

Did you not read the numbers? 2000 valor per minute infinitely farmable? That's over 30 times faster then running warzones. At any rate it's been hotfixed on our server.

This was never true, you never got Valor from turrets, only from kills.

[macaddict]

Which was it? Only valor from kills? where did these huge valor numbers come from?

[Isi]

You didn't get credit from the turrets, though healing them was causing some valor from any kill the turret did.

The large gain of valor comes from owning the zone (200% or something increase in valor) along with the endless camping of the base. So you got the base plus a bonus with hundreds of people being killed would rake up quickly if you were range or heals. Melee on some servers had a harder time getting a hit on something without being pulled in and killed or the target dieing before they could get to it.



This camping portion is supposely being fixed tomorrow with a reset that will make it so you can' enter the base.

no word on punishment for valor farming like this, though did mention in extreme cases they are looking at it.
