veritas_prime Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Just realized that my fresh lvl 55s benefited from not doing the Forged Alliance quests before 3.0 hit. They get 36 elite comms if they do the Prelude, about 12 each for each stage of the story arc. Which is actually what you got if you did the FA story before 3.0. However, the big and key difference is that elite comms post 3.0 are more valuable than pre 3.0. I'm not sure if this is fair or not, considering people who did the FA story before 3.0 probably had immediate benefits at the time, and fresh 55's probably need the extra help. Regardless, I am not sure if I should feel slightly gyped that by experiencing the story as it came out, I basically traded down my character's 36 elite comms for 72 basic ones. What does everyone else think? Fair or unfair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foambreaker Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Perfectly fair, enjoy your easy comms, worry about what you have, not what you might have had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does everyone else think? Fair or unfair? I don't think it's unfair, for one specific reason. For me, comm gear is basically junk. The high tertiary stat mods and enhancements only come from Ops tokens. So right now, I don't feel like I'm missing out by not being able to buy 192 comm gear. I bought an OH, for obvious reasons, but everything else is just...meh. Compared to 2.0, where you could at least get high power/crit mods from comm gear, I don't find much of any reason to grind comms in 3.0. But everyone has different end game aspirations.

adbe_ Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 (edited) Meanwhile you get ult and elite comms from face rolling 55 SM ops, is that fair? edit: Also, even more ult comms if you do it via GF, which boost you to 186 gear level too Edited December 9, 2014 by adbe_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octom Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 (edited) Let's pretend that every single person reading this forum came in and said it was unfair. What end would that bring? I can't see any change because of it. My main was able to jump right into Rishi and with a cutscene - small flavor bonus that I didn't have with the others; also not a big deal. Although the Elite commendations are worth more now, you'll be looking back in 3 months wondering where they even went as they start to become useless again.
