Badbonez Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I believe are two heroics on Korriban, Red Chamber and Armed & Dangerous. Both reward XP, some credits and an item of blue clothing. But there are no Lightside/Darkside alignment points nor commendations. On the flip-side, Ord Mantell offers two daily quests. One rewards alignment points, the other commendations. Hutta has 3 daily quests, but only one offers alignment points, the other two reward just clothing, XP, credits. So what's the point of daily quests that don't offer either commendations or alignment points? (Except the obvious XP grind - or social points.) Why make them a daily option? Seems to me the Ord Mantell model is the ideal for daily heroic quests. I'm interested in learning if I am missing something. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lu_Bei Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 All heroics are daily. It makes for some nice leveling for those who don't rush through Korriban, but play a little one day, a little the next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadysketchy Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I can't give you a good answer, and I doubt BioWare can either Anyway, thanks for bringing this issue up, hopefully they will rebalance these quests to be on par with the others you've mentioned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what a heroic is, but what's the point, other than XP, if there are no commendations or alignment points? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weapon_x Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 (edited) Do the heroics scale and offer level appropriate gear? Otherwise, what's the purpose of daily heroics on Korriban when you're done there so fast. Edited December 24, 2011 by weapon_x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxeX Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 OK...you just read the title. I know what a heroic is, but what's the point, other than XP, if there are no commendations or alignment points? Other than XP? None I guess then. If they don't reward commendation or alignment points, the only reason to do them is for the XP, which I should say is way more than your average quest, which is why people do try to do them.

photoheathen Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 (edited) ...what's the point, other than XP, if there are no commendations or alignment points? There is no point. You bring up a very valid legitimate concern. However, the reality is heroics operate on a single 'global' rule that they are all daily. BW has not put any effort into specifically contextualizing these heroic or setting up individual rules, even though they should have. Because they are using that simple global rule, some heroics are slipping through the cracks of reason. A solution to your concern requires a level of quest design sophistication that, sadly, does not yet exist.

Asuka Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Having them daily lets you get exp for helping others with it while you are still on planet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fognir Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I've been asking this question my self for a while. Also been asking why you can use a Bounty Hunter or Agent and do one Heroic on Korriban but not use Warrior or Inquisitor and do any Heroics on Hutta.

Yeah, I noticed that too...but the reward was pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexubel Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Ord Mantell actually has 3 Heroics. The Supply Run, Cutting of the Head, and shutting down jammer beacons. All of which will give you commendations. I was disappointed that the Korriban quests left off the choice for commendations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HollowAmbitions Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 (edited) I'm a sub, and I've been going back every day this week since Monday when I completed them, and it tells me to come back later because I've done them too recently. So I think they're now weekly. (This is in Korriban) Edited January 8, 2016 by HollowAmbitions Forgot to mention area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all I can say for heroics in general. But since I've played this game it has been this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PorsaLindahl Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 All heroics are since 4.0. Also... this thread is from 2011... Yeah. Just a couple days after launch. Don't think I've ever seen one this old get necro'd. They've always been daily. That's all I can say for heroics in general. But since I've played this game it has been this way. See above quote. Since 4.0 all heroics are weekly instead of daily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
