The Restuss Numbers

MX13MX13 Member Posts: 2,489

Here's a quick 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 be updating this as I learn things, or if the system changes. I'll also be adding some Clickies of some player responses as they realize the Math...

How to get the MAndo Hilt? CAMPING IS BACK, WTG DEV'S!!!! Wait....

How NOT to Design an Event... this was found in TC, yet it's live?

Wait for it....

Wait for it...

Suicide Death-Runs into the PVP zone... RUN!!!!!

4 Quests, and one is bugged... nice to know they're concentrating on Quality, LMAO!!!

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

In fact, forget the SWG!!!!

    Except you can WHIZ through ALL the quests and kills in a full group.
    Half running through the quests with the quest givers, the other half out running the actual quests.

    Everyone gets rewards and experience.  Switch back and forth.

    True, but from what I've been told, the "killer" still needs to go back to the Base and retake the mission in order to get Credit for Everyone... so it will still take that long, you can just be lazy....

    And to think, I thought they wanted to get away from the grinding and make the game truly "Starwarsy."

    This is a joke.  And as already mentioned there seems to be ways around this so you can get commendations but not do the entire work.  And that's before the fight clubs emerge.

    How many NPc kills does it take to build a full set of mando and a jet pack ?

    Took me about 2k BS kills, and about 600 DWW kills... Oh, and that's PRE-NGE (it's easier now, I help folks do it), so it's now all worthless, but it is One Color!

    I don't think this is a bug. I'm guessing this has to be planned.

    I mean, after the lava flea disaster, the mission nerfs, they can't actually do this again.

    It's just not possible.

    Or is it?

     Actually the killer only has to go back to get credit for himself.. hell he doesn't even need to take the quest to begin with.. I had a crafter friend do Jabbas Palce like this.. he sat in the palace going from npc to npc while his combat buddy ran from wp to wp, talk about a time saver.....

     But no need to fear there is a gating grade bug in the space mining quest that will stop phase2 from trying to launch prematurely rofl.

    In the later phases of the event, quests will reward more than one medal so it will be a way lower number of kills to get the hole armor. Although I don't like the idea of having lots of "I'm Mandalore I pwn you" around there...

  • ObraikObraik Member, Newbie CommonPosts: 7,261
    Swede has posted that the base building quests are not intended to be used for getting the rewards.  Quests at phase 3 are meant for that.

    Actually, the PVP quest is a later quest... so that's as good as it's going to get... The quests I listed still give only 1 Commendation...

    A few questions...

    1. How many E-11 does a crafter have to make for mando armor ?

    2. Are there any other rewards besides mando armor and how much to get it ?

    3. What do the other crafters do that cant make E-11 ?

    2. Are there any other rewards besides mando armor and how much to get it ? Yes, weapons for 500 to 800.
    3. What do the other crafters do that cant make E-11 ? Cry.


    Could be off here, so no flames please... this is what I remember....

    This has got to be lamest content I have ever seen. So let me get this straight, to get a weapon I most likely (as a crafter) couldnt use I need to craft 20 E-11 carbine quests 500 times = 10,000 ??? Woopie, thats some incentive for a crafter.

    The other crafters are just out of luck eh. So I guess SOE doesnt think their $15 amounts to much to bother include them in this event.

    And the whole point of this is so a city gets blown up ? Im sorry but that is just pathetic.

    And please note to the fanbois out there that I have refrained from being critical about this so-called content until today. But nobody can possibly call this content and enjoyable.

    Can't anyone at SOE ever make a fun quest and not resort to forcing players to grind ?

    Crafters have it easy. Can be all macroed, just like the village.

    But the space and ground combat quests are absurd, even with group exploit.

    Each time I see this now I just laugh and then wait for some NGEr's at this time some how defend this..

    I like the Swede post --

    About some of this being broke...

    (As if that is a suprise I mean thank goodness they have not had time to make this NGE crap work, or better yet test it --  OH WAIT...)

    I have to wonder what excuse someone will post now... like (ALL GAMES HAVE BUGS) -- or better yet -- "One or two out of five is'nt bad right?"?......

    Again... with all this lemming action going on I think we should start a cult.
