acidburncpt Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Since they're doing away with crystals, will you get more credits for doing heroics? Converting everything to credits seems like a great way to screw up the in-game economy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you will actually get less credits than now, the credit reward was nerfed a few updates ago but they reverted it for a while. Expect to get 7k for each heroic.

Expect to get 7k for each heroic. I haven't seen anything that suggests it's going to change. Once you get to lvl 70 you'll start earning CXP for doing all the heroics on a planet (as a subscriber anyway) but since F2P didn't get gear from them anyway, nothing changes on that front. Credits may or may not diminish, until they announce it one way or the other I'm going to believe that they'll stay the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expect to get 7k for each heroic. I can't find that said anywhere. Would love your source on that, I know you wouldn't pull something like that out of thin air and look moronic so you must have a 100% certain quote from someone at BioWare about that. Could you link it for me, please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you link it for me, please? There was a patch in the middle of the summer where they cut the amount of credits you got from Heroics in half. The community told BW their opinion on this and shortly there after they restored the credit grants for heroics back to normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jadescythe Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 I would assume what you are losing in crystals, you will be gaining in cxp towards your next loot crate, like every other activity at level 70. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teclado Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 (edited) Valid question, which also applies to a number of other things: pvp daily & weekly, flashpoints & operations, numerous mission rewards. My guess is that they are pondering such things right now and haven't decided yet. Subject to change post 5.0 if their metrics tell them that people are making too many / not enough credits.

cloneofdax Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 It will change yes. To what extent we don't know yet. Info is coming out now and BW will get to this at some point. Hope BW now add it to the list of what players want to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenduKundalini Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 They're doing away with crystals/comms even for levels 1-69 ? I thought it just changed for endgame gearing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josephxp Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 They're doing away with crystals/comms even for levels 1-69 ? I thought it just changed for endgame gearing... To get the mods for modable gear it will cost credits not coms now, so expect 208 greens and a lv 65 mod vendor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darevsool Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 They're doing away with crystals/comms even for levels 1-69 ? I thought it just changed for endgame gearing... They are removing all forms of currency except credits and this CXP stuff that will start at level 70. So, no more comms/crystals to turn in at vendors for armor skins or mods to go in them. Everything will be bought via credits or CXP (for subscribers and starting at lvl 70) Also, another change for heroics is you won't get CXP for doing a single heroic. They stated in one of the streams that you need to do ALL of the heroics for a planet to get the CXP, not just picking and choosing the fast or easy ones. Also, the starter planet heroics won't count toward CXP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here they say if and more likely when they decide to change it, they will give advanced notice. Not exactly willing to spend more time than this for someone who was clearly being sarcastic, this took about three minutes to find altogether, including finding the time of the video.

DarthEnrique Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Yes, but where did they say they were going to revert this for 5.0? *HINT* they didn't. Hey folks, I just wanted to pop into the thread and confirm that the Heroic Mission Rewards were reduced. This wasn't intended to be a "stealth change," but it was missed from the patch notes and we apologize for that. We are working on getting it added to the notes soon. Sorry for any confusion. -eric This is when the nerf happened in the same thread: They said they would in a recent Livestream in about three weeks. We'll have to see if they hold to that. According to them they also said that after a while they plan on once again nerfing the Heroics once again. I hate that they are punishing players like me that don't like to credit farm or sit at the GTN the whole day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kodrac Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 (edited) This is when the nerf happened in the same thread: Yes I know that. I was here for the nerf and un-nerf. BUT he said to expect the credits to be nerfed for the expansion, which has never been said. And I quote: No, you will actually get less credits than now, the credit reward was nerfed a few updates ago but they reverted it for a while. Expect to get 7k for each heroic.

And I quote: No the reason I posted this was cause you were asking where it was said and from the second quote it was apparently in a livestream around the nerf that they claimed. I watch a lot of their videos on twitch.tv and I think this sounds about right from what I heard watching their videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lymphangioma Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Does anyone have any recommendations on whether spending our crystals before 5.0 is a good idea? Anyhow, I'm guessing if this change does take effect, this currency will "convert" into credits somehow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is this one since it's two days after the nerf happened: https://www.twitch.tv/swtor/v/75476861 Add-on: It's mentioned four minutes and fifty-one seconds in.

That is from 4 months ago and has to do with Credits not CXP. The official information did not come out until last week and never mention anything about having to do all heroics in order to get CXP.

I assumed with the last stream since heroics show up in the Commander thing and are missions that they are included as part of getting CXP.
