Why are you even able to survive the turret? or kill it? Isn't that supposed to be guarding a spawn point?
Sure, and it would do a great fucking job at it if we weren't throwing about 80 people at it, the thing two shots geared tanks. The mistake was making it give valor, something that seems to have been corrected already. Without even taking the servers down apparently. |

I'm only lvl 32 so I have no idea what's going on Ilum. Should I avoid progressing my character in case there's a rollback?

I don't see why they would have to rollback everything. All they need to do is rollback valor/PvP gear bought since the patch. And close Ilum.

I haven't been to Ilum yet either, but in the words of Monty Python, it sounds like a silly place.

Welp, their game maintenance takes down the forums, so...  |

The better question is "Why are NPC's giving valor?"
But turrets are objects not NPCs. Imperials say working as intended! |

Welp, their game maintenance takes down the forums, so... Hah, good point. I would not be shocked if they were actually forced to do a full rollback. Sounds like they've hotfixed the turrets giving valor (at least so it seems from their forums), but Ilum still looks to be unplayable spawn-camping central where the overpopulated faction farms at will. |

What do valor levels do for you? Do you need them to buy gear or something?

Have to be Valor 60 to wear/buy the best pvp gear. Since effectiveness in pvp = gear in an MMO, this matters A LOT! For reference, it has taken me until now to reach valor level 51. I pvp every day that I play and started pvp when I was level 10 on my main character. People using this exploit are getting to rank 60 in hours. |

Yeah, you need valor level 60 to get battlemaster gear (the highest-level pvp stuff in game currently). Beyond that it's just epeen titles, at least until they introduce even stronger gear. Valor level cap is 100, iirc.

Lies! Planetside. You failed to notice the RPG part. I have no faith in Planetside 2 so.... it may hold. |

Is that just the pvp area, or the entire planet?
Just the pvp area... entire planet would be beyond  and go straight into territory! Good, I was afraid this was going to spoil my dailies! |

Expect a few surprises between these Game Updates, too. You never know when the Republic might strike Dromund Kaas, if a mysterious alien fleet could appear in the Core Worlds… or when the Rakghoul plague of Taris might infect the rest of the Galaxy. Changes are coming, and they’ll affect everyone. I'm really hoping this starts to develop into an overall storyline for the game world as a whole. Sort of like what Asheron's Call did. Given the investment in writing and lore it seems unfortunate to leave it as a static world. |

Who is getting assraped? Seems like everyone is dead and the Imps are just beating on a turret? Not sure what the hell I am watching other than a dead guy recording a lot of red guys.

There's apparently a whole lot of players who can't rez because there is no other option than the spot that is being zerged. Has valor been disabled yet?

The dead guy can't rezz because his whole faction is being spawn camped in a PvP zone so that empire can kill a PvE turret to get maximum PvP points. |

OK. So those turrets mark territory goals and the more territory, the bigger valor rewards from kills in the zone. So take the territory and camp the only spawn point for maximum valor points per kill. Thanks.

Pretty sure the turrets don't give valor and that was just a rumor. To maximize valor gain imp's are probably just having republic alts go to the area and res/die over and over. Think max is something like 200+ per kill. There's apparently a whole lot of players who can't rez because there is no other option than the spot that is being zerged. Has valor been disabled yet?
Nope. |

Antialiasing makes the game look a lot lot better. A LOT better. I guess the mouseover for the AA says it isn't implemented yet... |
