Apparently I'm still able to login, so I went to check the Restuss thingy.

So, you can go kill space stuff, or mine. Space just isn't my thing.
Third option, is to kill 40 imp NPCs.

So you go to Moenia, the POI, outdamage all the Jedi as a BH (well, that's kinda fun), then spam AoEs till you get 40. Travel back, get one commendation.

NPCs are forcerunning as always, ranged NPCs running into melee range, then darting 75m away, only to come running back.

And that's it. I can't describe how insanely boring this is.

And that's supposed to be "Stop the reinforcements" mission. How do you stop the reinforcements by wandering around, ganking any enemies you find. Should reinforcements be coming in from shuttles, or from a starport or something.

There is no big battle, no nothing. A bunch of people clogging the quest NPCs. I mean, seriously, what am I missing. I just can't imagine anyone doing this 4700 (or whatever) number of times to get mando.

I honestly don't get it. It's 3 different NPCs that give you 3 kill X missions, which you'll spend 50-70% of time driving to (whichever favorite spawn you choose), then kill them (just about all faction NPCs in galaxy are level 30), they present no challenge whatsoever, then go back. Repeat until insane.

And people complained about grind being boring before? Seriously. No, seriously. I need Obraik's spin on this.

    That might explain a few things...

    Seems that's really all there is to it.

    Well, since Restus is still standing and not a battleground yet, it is quite boring.  If you had read about the Restus event beforehand, you would know that most of the PVE quests are low level.

    you have to note one thing. SOE isn't known for their "smarts". This is THEIR way of fun, forcefeeding it down our throats, to say. This is what we think is fun and you have to deal with it.

    Don't worry though. It'll get worse.

    It's probably the fact I just couldn't care less. I was until now considering adding another month to subscription, but I'll just let it die tommorow. It just isn't worth it for me.

    But /cheers to those that'll grind up the KOTOR armor.

    Gotta love it when the timeline takes a 1000+ year slant the opposite way.

    Well, let's look at the numbers:

    To get the Mando Armor, you need: 4700 Commendations

    The armor is No Trade, and the Commendations are non-tradeable.

    ALL phase one missions give 1 Commendation per mission. They are:

    • Kill 40 space NPC's
    • Kill 40 ground NPC's
    • Craft (non-factory) E11's (why a crafter would needs LVL 75 Armor or Weps, I have NO idea)
    • Mine in Kessel or Deep Space

    Once the bases are built up, there is ONE PVP mission that you can take for 8 Commendations:

    • Kill 10 players

    There is also ONE PVE Mission that gives 5 Commendations:

    • Kill 20 <Elite> Dark Troopers or Commandos (and they have NOT added addtional spawns).

    So, for most that's either:

    • 188.000 NPC Kills, making 4700 trips to your Restuss Faction Base (for some reason it's the Battle of Restuss, but there are no NPC's IN Restuss).
      • So let's say your Imp and got to Moenia to get these, with no competition:
        • At 5 minutes travel (2.5 min there, 2.5 min back) that's about 392 hours of travel, or 16+ days of Travel ALONE..
        • At 20 seconds a kill that's 1034 hours of killing, or a bit over 43 DAYS of killing.
    • 23,500 PVP Kills, making 588 trips to your Restuss Faction Base (and that's 10 DIFFERENT Players, and you only get credit for killing the same person once an hour, I sense Exploit Clubs coming).

    This whole thing is a joke...

    I'll start my own SWG... with Black Jack... and Hookers!!!

    In fact, forget the SWG!!!!

    Well, they've alreayd figured out an exploit for getting commendations and building up their side.  What was it they said?  "Were focusing on pushing out publishes(chapters) as bug free as possible. 

    I still say they are pushing this stuff out fast.  I just wonder why. /tinfoilhat

    Bah, I had the visions of fight club already, looking around for rez packs, preparing a secluded guildhall, ...

    EDIT: actually, I'm confused about this.

    So can you fight club this? Is the 20 kill rule still in effect? Does if affect the score? Because that would be the only semi reasonable way to get it.

    And before anyone yells sploitz, lame or anything similar: I don't care, and neither does anyone else. Go get your 188k kills, any sane person wouldn't not for an armor.

    I'd imagine taht Guilds will meet in Restuss, kill eachother, log on Alts, do it again, and again, and again... mmmmmm.... cloning sickness.... Of course, to avoid the mandatory PVP and garuntee the kill trading, expect Medic Rez's & Rez arms.

    I'll start my own SWG... with Black Jack... and Hookers!!!
