Pepre Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Hey everyone! Although I cannot completely satisfy your request by stating a date that the Gree event will be returning, I do have some information at least. The Gree event will be returning a whole lot sooner than you think (note no ™). Soon in this case, is Game Update 1.7.2! As part of this I wanted to make you all aware of the fact that along with the Gree Event coming back, the Gold Scalene Armor is going to be removed from the store at the same time, but that armor could always come back at a later date! As one last teaser, we have some pretty cool information coming next week, so keep your eyes open for that. -eric THANK YOU BIOWARE!!! Glad u took our less then pleasant advice on the gold scalene armor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icebergy Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 It sucks that this joke of a thread got a yellow response when there are so much more important issues out there... Why is the Gree event returning so quickly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must've missed that. what do you mean? what advice, and why? I myself don't like that armor for many reasons. but what was said? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eillack Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 It sucks that this joke of a thread got a yellow response when there are so much more important issues out there... Why is the Gree event returning so quickly? Becuase it is based on an ancient starship traveling from planet to planet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthBuckets Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 As one last teaser, we have some pretty cool information coming next week, so keep your eyes open for that. -eric Here's hoping we get surprised with a Blur cinematic. I'd pay extra for the expac for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iFruit Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 (edited) Off topic: really nice to see how active the community managers have become on the forums.

Alavastre Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Best Community Manager post ever. Love the little trademark joke on soon. That really does show people you are reading the forums. Thanks. Can't wait for the information next week! Tell us now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryRow Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Ready check slated for (but not guaranteed in) 1.7.3 and Gree event returning in 1.7.2. It's so strange and so nice to have these little details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthBama Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I can't help but wonder if this is a test to see what happens when they announce something popular is going to disappear from the Cartel Market. It worked on me, I'm logging in immediately and getting the Gold Scalene for my Gunslinger I started! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacen_Starsolo Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Gree event coming that fast? It's nice and all but isn't that a little too fast as in it will lose it's "special" if it comes and goes every couple of weeks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadOrb Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 THANK YOU BIOWARE!!! Glad u took our less then pleasant advice on the gold scalene armor! Even though I'm glad it's returning they probably had the removal of the gold scalene armor planned , the title for legend status is "perfect gold bisector" So putting 1 and 1 together would imply we were going to get something for being legend . A lot of us will be legend a week Tuesday Now all we need is an update on the 50 planetary comms total and what will happen to the excess when 2.0 goes live. Cheers, BadOrb.

Jacen_Starsolo Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 its part of reputation. it is not supposed to be "special" Then may as well never turn it off in that case. Can't have it both ways no matter how much BW tries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuixupu Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Well, there's this. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?p=5913873#post5913873 http://www.swtor.com/community/showpost.php?p=5914097&postcount=79 There isn't a mention of planetary coms specifically, but I'd guess it would be a similar result.

Icebergy Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 What like server transfers? Well yes, that is definitely one of them. Transfers are the most important issue to me personally, I won't say that they are the most important to everyone, but I would definitely rank them way higher than this thread for the general population.

Alright, I have an answer for ya, I even come bearing details! The answer to the first part is that, as you know, you will have a cap of 50 Planetary Commendations. The new information I have for you (and I confirmed with Ahmad) is that the overflow that you will have when 2.0 launches is another 50 on top of that. What this means is that any Planetary Commendations that you have above 100 will be lost. Hope that clears it up! Nice work chuixupu on trying to clear it up as well as that had "part" of the answer. Go team! -eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dev Post AmberGreen Posted March 8, 2013 Dev Post Share Posted March 8, 2013 (edited) Hey everyone! As part of this I wanted to make you all aware of the fact that along with the Gree Event coming back, the Golden Scalene Armor is going to be removed from the store at the same time, but that armor could always come back at a later date! Hi folks! To piggyback a bit on what Eric's announced above with regards to Scalene Armor in patch 1.7.2: In addition to removing Golden Scalene Armor with the next patch, your feedback prompted us to reduce the level requirement on all Cosmetic Galactic Reputation rewards to level 10. This includes Voss Ambassador's, Hyperspace Hotshot, Section Guardian, and all Scalene Armor. In making this change, testing revealed that the Golden Scalene Armor's level requirement was also raised from 1 to 10. This means that players wearing the armor who are under level 10 won't get any benefit from the armor until the bug is fixed (we plan to deploy the fix with the patch following 1.7.2). We'll be sure this makes it on the Known Issues after the patch, but we wanted to let everyone know about this now. That way, if this will affect you and you're so inclined, you can hop on and level your characters to 10 before we deploy the patch! One final related thing I wanted to slip in for anyone who didn't see my post here. Companion Characters will be able to wear Reputation gear after Patch 1.7.2. Please remember that testing can always prove to delay things, so if any of this changes, I'll let you know.

Hey thanks a lot Eric iv'e been waiting on an answer for this and that is great news. Yeah I realised that 50 maximum was great with no weekly cap but I was concerned that my comms above the 50 mark would go away. So 100 is great as I was working towards that figure for a few nights , i have used up a few comms under the 100 mark , but only on two characters last night . So I'm good to go. Appreciate the update and yeah Go Team! Indeed! Cheers, BadOrb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
