We asked for it, we got it. And fast. I got no complaints.

it was that hard to get 3 medals?
no, really, i'm asking...before anyone thinks this is an insult and i get infracted...i'm asking.

[xeonix]

We farmed with guild last night we had some huttball matches and some voidstars , at some point we finished a huttball to get the rush medals in like 2-3mins. Many of the opponents had 1-2 medals and maybe 1 had 3. So ye, with the recent speed awards medals i think its imperative they add a 1medal award for the loosing team at least.

A lot of games have mismatched sides, so if you're stuck on the team with 6 in a 6v8 game, it's easy to get camped and never be able to do anything.

[Khral]

It's not hard to get medals. However, if you are a defensive player, for example an Immortal Juggernaut, it can take a little 'ramping up' to start getting your medals. If you get steamrolled by a pre-made, it can be over before you even get into the thick of it.

Just to post them cleaned up a bit.

Also merged two thread that were about the same thing.

On smaller servers, like mine, you often end up with 8 vs 4 matches (and there is only one match at a time, so leaving and re-queueing just gets you the same match), or you end up going against a full 8 man republic premade (who can solo queue and still have their premade, there is so few PVPers on that side). So it's definitely possible to get less, depending on your class.

Wait 8 vs 4 matches actually happen? They aren't canceled for not having enough players? That would be really awful

They removed the auto-cancel for less than 6 players with 1.2. It was suppose to work that way only for ranked matches, which obviously didn't make the cut, so eventually non-ranked matches will cancel out again with less than 6 on a team. It's just getting people to stick with the game until they fix some of this that's a pain. We've lost the bulk of our PVPers in the past month, either to re-rolling on other servers, or just plain quitting the game.

[Arlee]

Oh I see... that sucks Never seen it happen because I am on one of the more populated servers. Playing 4 vs 8 game would be extremely frustrating though, unless by some miracle the 8 people were all noobs to PvP and your 4 had gears and talent. That could be interesting... but not likely to happen at all.

Had the same issue, went back and soloed the lvl 30 one again and got the title and final codex entry.

[Forsedar]

I dare say for the same reason very few game developers announce them beforehand. In the event that there's a last minute addition, or something goes wrong, it means that people will probably get angry as them simply because they can't comprehend what exactly happened.

Major features, and this is true with almost every piece of software, tend to get announced to drum up some interest. Announcing something that's not out there yet and isn't actually part of a major new update (as opposed to a small one) isn't going to drum up more interest, it's just going to make people have new expectations that might never come true.

It's not that they don't want to disappoint, but that they really don't want the hassle of dealing with their customers complaining about it because they don't understand that things can and will go wrong (especially where technology is involved). Once the patch is out there, they know it was all successful so it's safe to let people know what's new.

Also if there is a major bug that can be exploited, they don't want to make the community too aware of it since people will try to get some 'last minute' gratification out of it.
