Fardarter Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Title says it all why is Kuat dropping planetary coms for 55's? Also where are the drops? I see rep Items and some build kits? I don't see anything remotely interesting at the rep vendor. I like that it is something different but how does doing it make my character better? Planetary Comms?!

tanerb Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 (edited) I am guessing, that is the "tactical" part. Edited February 4, 2014 by tanerb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discbox Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Planetary? Meh! BioWare?! They are making fun of us, aren't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptwonline Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 (edited) Since non-55's can run it, Planetary Comms makes sense. What it should have been though is Planetary for <50, and Basic for >50. Edited February 4, 2014 by ptwonline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quraswren Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Other than the mount, everything for that rep grind seems rather shallow when it comes to content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the point, more easy, more fast, worst comms. Easy. Do it with alts, is the best way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TUXs Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Isn't this FP good for players of basically EVERY level? What would the OP prefer to see as a reward that is universal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadOrb Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 (edited) I thought there was a level 15 - 55 and a 55 category ? That's what I read from the PTS forums some weeks ago. So why doesn't the 55 one drop basic or something else , indeed OP. Cheers, BadOrb. Edited February 4, 2014 by BadOrb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fardarter Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 My point is simply planetary comms have ZERO VALUE to a 55. I don't see how anyone can stand here and argue they do. I just find it incredibly short sighted to offer NEW CONTENT which offers nothing for top level players, by the way the largest group of players in the game = TOP LEVEL. Oh and the Speeder offered at the rep vender is GINORMOUS can't wait to see fleet clogged with them lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthTHC Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 (edited) My point is simply planetary comms have ZERO VALUE to a 55.... Disagree. I have yet to cap my planetary comms on my main, a 55 raiding tank. I keep spending them. If the Tactical Flash Point is simple, I can see this as a reward. I could equally see planetary comms as a reward from the 55th level version of the flash point as an error on BioWare's part.

hadoken Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I don't think they're considering this flashpoint as endgame/55 content really. I can't imagine it's supposed to be as difficult/rewarding as a heroic given anyone can walk in with any party and theoretically beat it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JattaGin Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I need plenty of planetary comms for the lockbox from Corellia that has a ~0,00001% drop chance for a Czerka crate-o-matic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ItachiZaku Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Not preferred, but I can certainly use the extra P-Comms to gear alts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infernixx Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Spending on what? Purple Boxes which give Inheritance gear? You can use them to gear your alts. Or buy boxes that have chances of dropping highly valued Orange pieces, like the X-52 Sniper rifle. Or you can buy mods/armorings/hilts and sell them on the GTN.

CabelHarn Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Won't be destroyed over it if it's left planetary comms but I agree as another poster said that this may have been in error and intended to be basic comms for 55. I could use another way to intial gear new alts at 55, plus considering broken bolster and wanting to start playing PvP again with my main I need to re-gear her for broken bolster.

Grayseven Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I prefer planetary over basic. I can do more with planetary as far as low level alts are concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirorx Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 (edited) I was only able to que for the 55 one, the other one was greyed out and said 15-54 i think I dont remember what I got for it but the flashpoint was ridiculously easy and took very little time and we just ran around hitting stuff, heck there is only 1 boss in the whole thing....what could we really expect from it, certainly not elite comms. Maybe a couple basic comms...but it was SUPER EASY. Edited February 4, 2014 by kirorx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rufussay Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Honestly, It's kind of nice to have a quick way to grind planetary comms at L55 (other than dailies). We already have plenty of ways to grind basic comms (L50 HM and Czerka SM), and this is helpful for gearing up alts, I guess. But I am curious whether this was by design.

DarthOvertone Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Or buy boxes that have chances of dropping highly valued Orange pieces, like the X-52 Sniper rifle. I don't PvE much, but most of my toons are maxed out on Planetary comms. Where can my toons get the purple boxes that potentially have the drops you mention?

Well sir not everyone is 10/10 on DF and DS HM. But no one also needs planetary comms at level 55. The only time you need planetary comms is when you just turn lvl 50 on a toon, then fully deck in 58 gear, then never ever use planetary comms again. Level 55 content dropping planetary comms is a really bad joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
