oblongship Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Way to double the commendation cost of all the pvp gear BioFAIL... I am sure glad you looked into this important issue instead of addressing the mountain of bugs still around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabtangs Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 what did they double? seriously threads need to have actual facts not just random blob... nobody is going to agree when they are off the game and no way to see anything for themselves.

Sabbathius Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I just wish they put it in the patch notes. I'm not a big fan of ninja changes, even if they are buffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffy_ Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 i thought i noticed it also, didnt pvp weapons used to cost 330 wz commendations? they are 590 or something like that now, was kinda freaked out and dont remember the exact number.

Kakokun Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Did they only double pre-50 gear or that too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, all leveling pvp gear increased by over 2x price ... dont see this ANYWHERE in the patch notes, nor was there a heads up on this change coming in. Yet another Mythic fail.

Kahrain Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 they increased the cost of most PvP items. Example: Lightsaber yesterday was 72, today it is 123. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabbathius Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 (edited) what did they double? Learn to read? "commendation cost of all the pvp gear" For example level 20 PvP items now cost nearly twice as much as before.

FreemanCal Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 QQ my free top of the line gear for my level will take 30 more mins to get!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pushedx Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Correct, the old costs for the weapons were 330 each. Now, they cost 580 each. The armor prices have increased too. Implants / Earpieces: 100 -> 175. The other gear seems to be about 125 commendations more on average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oblongship Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 Just a senseless ninja nerf that they didn't need. I hate when companies do crap like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gailon Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I agree, I think this was a horrible change. At the very least it should have been communicated in the upcoming patch notes so we could spend the commendations we had at the price we were saving for! All this is going to do is cause me to level more by PvPing to get the gear I want and have to skip more content because I outleveled it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDFX Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) Before this cost change, I had been able to afford to use PVP commendations to equip my companion characters as well as myself with solid gear while leveling. I am not sure that's as true now. I wonder if this change is an ill thought attempt to make crafting skills more valuable and useful outside of biochem and perhaps infuse more life into the GTN?

Quinlynn Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I thought I was the only one that noticed this. Totally lame IMO. Get tired of getting gimped because I'm not some loser that lives in my Mom's basement playing games 24/7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fardarter Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I am dumbfounded by some of BW's decisions as of late. You have a huge population problem. You have one side that is much better geared than the other and your solution is to make it even more difficult for the opposition to catch up? I sound like a broken record lately but I keep asking myself "Do these guys know what they are doing?" The funniest part is we are talking about gear when lag and skill lag are even bigger issues. Anyone bashing Rift a few months ago should revisit their conclusions. For all the problems that game has they certainly got more right than swtor.

Kuvi Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 The gear is still easy to get - there is no grind in this game. People complained about how easy good gear was to get, and now that it's a TINY bit more work there are complaints? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nisa Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 i never understood why the lvl 20 set costs the same as the lvl 40 set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malgoroth Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 PvP gear for 20's and 40's isn't any better (or is only marginally better) than the items you can get from quest/planet commendations. It's not something you NEED to have. If you're going to complain, complain about something that matters. As for the level 50 gear... it needs to be more expensive. It should take you longer than a couple weeks to get a full set of champion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seyyal Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 how is this not a good change? you should not be able to deck yourself out in PVP gear ina week. it was stupid. im glad they changed it. leveling gear should be quick, lvl 50 gear should take at least a 1-3 months in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovestopip Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 They are doing that to stir up the economy, if you take a look at the auction house you'll see that the items for those levels, 20/40 and in between every 4 levels people just aren't buying the items in the auction house. Even though it sucks they did that, but I understand that it'll be better in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pappus Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Well done BW. The PvP gear was too quick to obtain and made it unattractive for me to even bother looking into the GTN, when playing a single warzone would give me an implant of my level. Same goes for everything except weapon. It was just way too quick to get - get over it. That gear is for PvP'ers and not for players that do a single wz to obtain it. Would love to see lvl 30 gear implemented and lvl 45, then new toons are all fine without real powerdrops due to bolstering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
