NuclearPanda Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Can someone explain the reasoning behind this for me? According to the patch notes, Black Hole Commendations will only drop in Nightmare Mode Karagga's Palace, and not in Eternity Vault. Strange? Working as intended?

Iwipe Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Good question, I am wondering too. It seems odd that Nightmare EV is not included. We were gonna try Nightmare EV on PTS the other night but we had constant crash to desktop issues so couldn't. My guess would be that some of the fights in EV are a bit too easy (i.e. Pylons, Infernal Council). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuclearPanda Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share Posted March 30, 2012 Its very odd. It just seems like they should include BOTH Operations for NiM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokingly Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Normal KP drops the Main Hand (not available in a FP) while normal EV drops the chest piece (from HM FE). Honestly, doesn't it seem better to diversify the two ops anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuclearPanda Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share Posted March 30, 2012 (edited) What do you mean? They are both already diversified. I still think that both NiM Ops should drop the Black Hole commendations. *shrugs* Just my two cents. Give me an incentive to actually bother running NiM EV.

Dee-Jay Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I assume that Bioware doesn't consider NiM EV a sufficient enough challenge to have them drop Black Hole commendations. At least in Karagga's Palace the fights are somewhat challenging on NiM whereas in EV, they are not (exception SOA). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well out of 2 raids (3 if you count new one) they will remove one from endgame already if its WAI. Pretty bad idea, its not like there will be anything else to do except logging in for raids in 1.2 like it is now (assuming you dont have full rakata already) But then again HM FPs have no use now or after the patch anyway so *shrugs* same issue.

If you get the commendations at twice the speed you just render both ops obsolete twice as fast, right? So if they both drop them you are done with both ops in a month (or whatever arbitrary time you would like to use) and if only KP drops them you are done with EV now and KP in two months. I still don't understand why EV "should" drop them. KP will drop them and EV won't. That just is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having just 2 raids to do a week as endgame is what's bad, it doesn't exactly matter if EV should drop them or something else. You remove EV from the list you just made already small list of things to do even smaller. I'm not saying it should be 'faster' but more diverse.

NuclearPanda Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share Posted March 30, 2012 I'm not saying it should be 'faster' but more diverse. This x1000. Ok, so they won't drop in EV. What they need to do then, especially to breathe new life back in to EVERYTHING endgame, is to have everything start dropping cool new stuff. An orange that only drops on Kaon? Yes please. New Schematic only obtainable from FE or Battle for Ilum? Sure! Give me some incentive to actually run content again, because otherwise all they're doing is directing me to the next 2 pieces of new content before the next expanion and no reason to visit any of the other stuff again...... ever.

This is a way better idea. If you have Black Hole in KP only it allows them to put White Dwarf commendations (or whatever) in EV at a later date. If you just jam BH comms into everything it dilutes their effect. I'm all about a 1% drop in a random HM FP. I'd love to see more things like the +10 datacron, Magenta crystal, and the like.

Rabix Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 wouldn't mind seeing BH comms drop for Nightmare Soa considering that's the hardest fight in the game atm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
