Raphael_diSanto Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) Hey, BW - What about giving us a list when we hit the Planetary Missions button in the GC UI? I mean, right now, all I do is see it what I get then hit decline if I don't like what it's giving me, and go round again until I do get an option I like. (ex: Corellia/Voss Heroics are a pain in the proverbial, CZ-198 dailies and BH dailies can be done in under 10 minutes. Which do you think I'm gonna throw back in the bin and which do you think I'm gonna choose to do?) Edited January 21, 2017 by Raphael_diSanto
BRKMSN Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 The current system lacks practicality. A list of all the available dailies to choose from would speed things up, with the ones already completed (or not unlocked due to story progression) grayed out. Sometimes I'll finish leveling a character to 70 using dailies / heroics and then I have to cycle through the GC daily interface to get my daily completion credit CXP and I have to do that for quite a while until I get credit for everything I have done.
DesertusRatticus Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 Yes, please. Let us choose the planetary mission directly.
Rankyn Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 Since we can just hit esc and retry until we get the one we want, there's really no reason not to give us a list to pick from and save everybody a lot of hassle.
PiiTarr Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 I support this as well. The current method wastes our time as we cycle through the ones we don't want to get to the one we do want. This is especially true if we're grouping with someone to do these, since everyone in the group has to cycle through until they get the one the group has decided to do.

If you group and do them without GC, you can always open up GC later that day and get credit for the ones you did already that same day. It doesn't stop the tedious accept / reject cycling though, but at least you don't have to make the whole group wait until everybody has the same one.

While that can work in theory, it does not always work in practice. I have had times when I've done exactly what you have stated, then been forced to stop playing before completing the heroics and unable to resume until the following day. As a result, none of the progress I made towards the planetary mission bonus was counted and I had to repeat heroics I'd already completed in order to get it.
Raphael_diSanto Posted January 22, 2017 Author Posted January 22, 2017 Also, apparently today's supposed to be Planetary bonus day, and I'm not getting more than the regular 450 for the wrapper missions... What's up with that?
Plk_Lesiak Posted January 22, 2017 Posted January 22, 2017 Please do that, it's really annoying and unnecessary, considering you can decline the rolls for eternity anyways.
Muljo_Stpho Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 Yep. Might as well just offer the choice. It would also be a nice touch to add options where it doesn't already cover every conceivable option and to perhaps even see about adding brand new options as well. So we'd see a list like someone else mentioned, with options grayed out after you've completed them that day or if you haven't unlocked them yet. And aside from each planet having an entry for its heroics, the list would also have entries for Black Hole, Section X, CZ-198, Oricon, Yavin, GSI-Makeb, GSI-Alderaan, GSI-Tatooine, GSI-Hoth, new GSI stuff for other planets, restored on-planet Belsavis dailies, restored Ilum dailies, Makeb's non-GSI dailies, Rishi dailies (with a terminal added next to the one daily mission's NPC (downstairs in the cantina) for easy access to all of the other Rishi dailies), and anything new they could think to add like new GSI style dailies or new on-planet dailies. (And anything I forgot to mention.) Maybe also add entries in the list corresponding to each event (obviously they'd be grayed out when the event is not running). (Gree option teleports you to the right place on Ilum and asks for completion of some non-pvp Gree dailies, 3 separate Rakghoul options to teleport to the THORN base on the correct planet and they each ask for that planet's on-planet event daily along with some tunnel dailies, and then the Bounty Week option only teleports to the pick-up on fleet but it asks for completion of both a henchmen and a kingpin.) Hmmm... a thought for all of this... Each mission from GC for a set of basic on-planet dailies would be set to reward bottom tier CXP since they would contain no heroics. Most of the ones for the proper dailies zones and for the GSI stuff would be a middle tier CXP reward since those generally have one heroic mixed in. And then the ones for several heroics would typically be the highest reward because they're all heroics. Except maybe make the capital planets' heroics worth a middle tier CXP reward and add an option for your class's starter planet heroic(s) but it's actually worth less than the bottom tier CXP reward.
Damask_Rose Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 Also, apparently today's supposed to be Planetary bonus day, and I'm not getting more than the regular 450 for the wrapper missions... What's up with that? The planetary bonus has been broken since the beginning.
Kaldron_Fell Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 I'll add my voice to those supporting this suggestion. It would add great quality of life value to my daily activities. I'd also like to note that the bug with Nar Shaddaa auto-completing on the republic side is still there, and that I still get to start Oricon on one of my characters with 1 of 4 missions already completed. I've reported this ages ago but it still hasn't been fixed. Also, the number of missions required to be completed should be reduced imp-side for Alderaan and especially Hoth. These two take ages to complete and I never do them for that reason.
Xina_LA Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 Yes, please let us choose a planet! I'm tired of click-Decline click-Decline click-Decline.... ...click-Decline click-Decline click-Decline click-Decline click-Decline click-Decline click-Decline click-Decline click-Decline click-Decline click-Decline click-Decline click-Decline click-Decline click-Decline click-Decline click-Decline click-Decline click-Decline click-Decline...
Blivian Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 I would like to give my support to this suggestion.
Ibokagain Posted October 31, 2017 Posted October 31, 2017 Yea agree with this, there should be some way to choose which planetary weekly you want to do and not be entirely random.
