Dev Post EricMusco Posted September 22, 2015 Dev Post Share Posted September 22, 2015 Hey folks, I wanted to let you know about what changes are coming to Commendations in Fallen Empire, this way you can plan accordingly. Simply put, only the names of some existing Commendations are changing. There are no conversion rates or anything this time around. Basic Commendations will now be called Common Data CrystalsElite Commendations will now be called Glowing Data CrystalsUltimate Commendations will now be called Radiant Data CrystalsAll other Commendation names remain the same. Again, there are no conversion rates pre/post Fallen Empire. Thanks! -eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dscount Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 (edited) Sweet! Thanks Eric for the update. Will we see new tier gear on vendors to buy with our comms? Edited September 22, 2015 by dscount Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthScruffy Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 As a clarification, "no conversion rate" because it's 1:1 on everything or "no conversion rate" because they will all start at 0? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sangetorix Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 I have to be honest....I don't like those new names. I thought the older names were just fine. Will they be receiving new pictures in game as well or will they still look like commendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pietrastor Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Hey folks, There are no conversion rates or anything this time around. Again, there are no conversion rates pre/post Fallen Empire. Thanks! -ericSo does it mean we will keep the comms we have or all comms get restarted and everyone starts from 0?

Cox_The_Beast Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Makes me think back to Tionese Crystals... The memories! That said, looking forward to the conversion rates, because knowing wether we'll just have them convert from same tier to same tier, or if everything will be rolled into the lower tier makes a lot of difference.

Excise Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Not sure I get the point of making this change, but I suppose it doesn't harm anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoronmir Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 I'm very appreciative of the announcement. Any news is welcome. But I'm curious, why change the names if there will be no conversion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurin Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 The name change aspect of this post looks like a glaring mis-use of development resources. The litany of trivial bugs that still exist in the game could have been 1 or 2 items shorter...but instead, we decide to rename something that could easily have been left alone? Next time you want to make a trivial change, how about fixing one of the thousands of places you can still get stuck at in the game...like the spot between SS and UL in ToS.

Xaosage Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 I'm very appreciative of the announcement. Any news is welcome. But I'm curious, why change the names if there will be no conversion? my guess for the name change is there will be new Commendations that are great then the Ulitmates is why they wanted to change the names Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SebastiaanZ Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Don't care about this to much, saw something like this coming miles away. What I want to know, is the rumored down grading on planets. Is this true yes or no? If it is, consider me unsubbed. I won't stay subbed to a game where I am being forced to play a way I don't like in solo play. I don't care about ops or fps, downgrade or level up all you want, BUT DON'T TOUCH SOLO PLAY!

Will I still be capped on all 3 tiers (albeit renamed) with that character when Fallen Empire launches? Just want to make sure that I understood correctly since comms were reset with the SoR launch last year.
