10 Black Hole Commendations Per Day Is A Little Much, No?

HM flashpoints are DAILY COMMS!!!!

This.

I think OP dont understand Bioware and their long term plans. Maintaining subs and not loosing more is very important if this game wants to stay away from F2P by end of year. Also when im looking around fleet i see less than 1% players have campain gear pieces and maybe around 5% tops have BH geared fully. Rest have ether some odd peices or not at all. Im sure bioware wasnt happy how BH gearing progressed in live game and changed it in patch 1.3

You can argue how long you want but majority players who cant cut denova in even story mode, will never gear up BH before level cap raises. Think out of box for a moment and dont be such ignorant and selfish. People never get better loot if they cant get Denova HM or story mode, but at least they can get without set bonus version of gear. Mainhand and many other things comes only doing OPS.

That, and that. 5 comms for the daily dun, 7 days a week; coming down to 35. 2 ops in story mode, per week, coming down to an additional 10. That's not even 90 a week, but just 45 a week. Total black hole commendations required? 495

In other words, 11 weeks required to get all the pieces for those doing just daily HM's and story mode ops per week. And that is, if you even get around to playing every day. By the time people will have their black hole gear, the game will already have been patched again and raiders are running around in the next tier gear.

You sure about that? http://dulfy.net/wp-content/uploads/...6/lfgtool2.jpg

Has this changed (aside from EC being removed, and LI no longer being default)?

well nm, that is a little excessive then...

I was just going by what was written in the story.

I was wondering when this topic would come up. The equivalent to "Sprint at level 1 will ruin the game!" that was posted a few days before 1.2.

You can not make everyone happy. Bioware please don't listen to the topic creator he doesn't speak for anyone but himself. If he wants to play a game that takes years to get all your gear, he can go play Final Fantasy XI or something. I think you guys are on the right track by allowing black hole gear to be more accessible.
Some people can't raid due to time constraints, don't have a raiding guild, and that shouldn't impede their gear progression. kudos Bioware.

Agreed. If you step back and look at it, it's really quite well balanced:

Solo + LFG Tool Only = ~45/week
Casual Raiders (SM EC + HM KP) = ~90/week
Hardcore Raiders = ~130/week

So the hardcore get their stuff roughly 1.5x times faster than the casual raiders, and 3x faster than the non-raiders.

How is it too much? To get a full set of black hole gear you need 495 tokens which is 80+ days at this rate. That's only if you are mad enough to do it every single day without a break. By the time you have collected the set there will probably be new content available. Stop moaning, it's fine.

Not to mention 1.3 will encourage me to resub

Bigbramble you are the fountain of Wisdom in this topic. Reality is that the casuals will only do the dailies a few times a week and will do stuff like PvP or crafting to fill their time. In 80 days time there will still be lvl 50 players slowly gearing up through dailies in BH gear. The hardcore have no need to fear them.
