LordArtemis Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I think if the prices rise on the planetary vendors that will not be an issue, considering we will now have a 1000 comm cap instead of 100. Much better cap for casual players IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Running all heroics will cap you almost 4 times as you level if you do all the side quests. I ended up with somewhere around 370 comms or so leveling 1-55 with all the heroics. Remember that Makeb drops comms like candy, and running heroics with capped characters is easy breezy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say that Makeb has FAR more appeal now to casuals with the reduced mob density and the current GSI sat buff. It is really the best spot to farm level 9 mats for Bio and Scav.

Brewski Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 Here goes everyone. Here is the information on the conversion rates around Basic Comms and what will happen when 3.0 launches. Just to reiterate for those unaware, here are the basic changes coming to Commendations: All PvE Commendations will become Basic Commendations in 3.0.The Commendation types "Classic" and "Planetary" are being removed from the game. The types "Elite" and "Ultimate" will remain but the current Comms you have will become Basic.Warzone and Ranked Warzone Commendations remain untouched. Here are the conversion rates for all Commendations. 2 Classic Commendations = 1 Basic Commendation1 Basic Commendation = 1 Basic Commendation1 Elite Commendation = 2 Basic Commendations1 Planetary Commendation = 3 Basic Commendations1 Ultimate Commendation = 3 Basic Commendations The Basic Commendation cap will remain at 1000. However, when the conversions happen we will allow you to go up to 2000 Commendations. Note that until you go below 1000 again, you will be unable to earn any Basic Commendations. This includes if you buy an item and try to refund it. You must go below 1000 before you can earn more. There ya go folks! All of the details and conversion rates on Basic Comms in 3.0. -eric Thanks Eric! I have updated the original post to include this information for those coming in late to the conversation.

Monkeypox Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Has anyone asked if mobs will randomlyy drop Basic Comms now instead of randomly dropping Planetary Comms? I may have missed it in all the pages... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarian Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I think if the prices rise on the planetary vendors that will not be an issue, considering we will now have a 1000 comm cap instead of 100. I don't think it will be an issue, but it would influence whether or not I dedicate some time to getting comms this week. If prices stay the same, I get a windfall with the conversion, if not...I don't. But the cap increase is definitely good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt_Awoke Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 (edited) So since if you max out all the current comms, you'll have around 3500 basics based on the conversions. What happens to the excess 1500? Are they lost or put into escrow until you're below 1000 again? Also are missions in your current mission log going to be reset at launch?

Syrlex Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I appreciate the information coming a week before the patch (rather than, say, 2 days or less) but as an individual I object to the (rather low) hard cap of 2000. I have something in the range of 2500-2700 on my main who doesn't really have anything to spend them on (fully optimized 180 gear) and I doubt very much I am alone in this regard. Please kindly reconsider the 2000 hard cap. 2 cents respectfully submitted, Syrlex of The Red Eclipse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any Comms over that limit will be discarded. Go ahead and spend anything you've got that will put you over 2,000, because otherwise you'll lose that overflow (which is actually overflow-over-an-overflow).

That's possibly what I would do. There are other methods too. Cheers, BadOrb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianDmitruk Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Will we be able to buy (and stuff in the bank until we can use) the new 186 gear at leel 55, or will we be stuck unable to spend our converted comms on anything worthwhile and unable to earn comms from the new expansion content until after we can spend comms at 60? For an example, will the expansion look more like: A level 27 toon buying level 45 mods and banking them for later on live? or A level 50 who has the comms but is locked out of buying level 55 gear on live? One option will allow us to spend overflow immediately without wasting it on stuff we don't want, the other will severely nerf the rewards for a lot of the 55-60 expansion content for many of us...choose wisely Bioware Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darksplat Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Dear Eric, thank you very much for this information. I have a question regarding "Sergeant Drev" (Classic Token Vendor on the Ziost Shadow) who takes unassembled Columi/Rakata/Campaign pieces which can be exchanged for Classic Commendation containers.... will he be removed from the game when 3.0 arrives? I'm asking this because, I have still some unassembled Columi/Rakata/Campaign pieces, and I'm a little bit afraid that I can't exchange these anymore, when 3.0 arrives and the Classic Commendation will be removed. Also don't forget about those EC NiM tokens as well please eric I have a lot of those left over do I need to hand them in for gear or can we get basic for them?

Balsagne Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 (edited) i cant find anywhere it says that basic gear will be 186 and i hear otherwise i want a confirmation that that is the gear we can buy Edited November 25, 2014 by Balsagne adding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
