Kylanna Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 So it used to be that the daily quests would give you at least one DNA Canister per quest, with the H4 giving you two. Now... the only quest that gives you DNA Canisters is the H4?! I call shenanigans. The only other way to get any canisters is to infect 3 people or run the Operation. Why was there suddenly a decision to cut back on the canisters? Were we all getting too many and enjoying the fact that we could buy shiny, fun things and that's just not allowed? Too easy to enjoy getting the stuff that we have to wait months and months to get from the Jawa vendor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordArtemis Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Well, If that is the case I will not participate this time. The Canister was the only reason I participated last time. Unless, of course, they reduced the canister requirements or removed them for most items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Essence_of_Light Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I'd like it if we could get a dev post in here explaining why this has happened and whether it was intended or not. Personally, I agree with OP. They probably won't admit it, but chances are they reduced the canisters so players couldn't the rewards as fast, therefore making them participate (grind) the event longer.

I think the greatest issue is that the event will only last a week or so. If you managed to stockpile enough DNA canisters -- my case -- from the previous events, you'll be fine. If this is the first time, unless you have a plethora of alts, you are screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledDitto Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 You still get gear much quicker than gear from the Gree event. 1 Helix from the Gree heroic, 2 canisters from the Rakghoul heroic. T.H.O.R.N. gear is also much cheaper, generally 1-4 canisters per piece, while Gree equipment is 8(12?) for offhands, 18 for 1-handed mainhand weapons, and 24 for 2-handed mainhand weapons. Yes, it sucks that they nerfed the rewards, but it could be far worse. I'm just glad that the gear was cheap to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichiNeko Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 The mission to scan the beacons in the tunnels still awards a canister as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damask_Rose Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I'm pretty sure only a couple of quests gave canisters last time. Blowing up on people, finding Jeelvic & the H4. All of the others only gave rep and credits. I'd have had waaay more canisters if it were otherwise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the others only gave rep and credits. I'd have had waaay more canisters if it were otherwise Yep. The options for canisters are and always have been: * the heroic (2 per character per day) * the one mission that has you scanning the beacons in the ceiling (1 per character per day) * finding Jeelvic the first time (just 1 per character per event week) * Eyeless SM and HM (not sure of the numbers offhand but these would be 1 per character per week because of lockouts) * the hidden daily for infection (haven't done this since the event was on Alderaan so I forget, but I think it was 1 per character per day) The other dailies (curing infected in the streets, herding raklings from first section of tunnels, getting samples from infected in first section of tunnels, killing rakghouls in second section of tunnels) have always been for reputation only.

Quraswren Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 (edited) The mission to scan the beacons in the tunnels still awards a canister as well. That is correct. I'm pretty sure the OP is mistaken. The only quests that gave canisters (or at least from the last time this event came around) was the scanning quest, the H4 and the infection quest for dailies. Jeelvic being just once per toon for one canister. Only those 3 really. Thats why after I made max rep, I didn't need to do any of the others (besides The Eyeless which gives them as well on both SM and HM - So run both) Now that I think about it, the OP is mistaken.

chosonman Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 The rewards look as though they are the same as the last even (Tatooine). 2 for heroic, 1 for scaning tunnels. 1 for finding jeevic, and 4 or more for ops. I got a ton of them last even (70 or more with 7 alts) With Gree I only managed about 40 and the gear was way more expensive. So I have no complaints about this event. If anything gear is too easy to get. I have like 4 of every weapon and like 10 blaster rifles and still have like 30 canisters left over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cernow Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Nothing has changed. The rewards are the same as last time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oyranos Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 (edited) I have about 150-200 canisters, but what it is for? I bought my offhands that I use to transfer mods... what else I need? I just dont know how to get this mounts... where the other mats drop? I also have the eyeless thing 2-3 times but...not the others. I got the highest rep rank with raghul in the prev one... this one is just for credits. About 14 charas = 1.5m per day I was hopping for more decor choices, but only 2 pots?

Too easy to enjoy getting the stuff that we have to wait months and months to get from the Jawa vendor? they were not reduced they are same and every time you get the missions done you get 4 DNA canisters it is worth it ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadOrb Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 (edited) As others have said the rewards are exactly the same as last time and no I won't be looking at the bloody roof of the cave on 16 characters. I won't even be looking at the roof on one character. I will however get a good bunch of basic comms on my low geared 55's for use in 3.0. Cheers, BadOrb.
