There are some decent models on that vendor (notably the Shrouded Knight's Blade which is Orgus Din's beautiful hilt) which can't be accessed in an orange form anywhere else (although Command Crates may yet yield similar items, of course), so the notion of these becoming inaccessible to all but those who did that last season of Ranked is just ridiculous.<br /><br />Plus, as decent as those models are, nobody would willingly use their limited tokens on them instead of actually new and exclusive stuff that they had rightfully <i>earned</i> the right to buy.<br /><br />I'm guessing that the Valor requirement will either be 30 or 40, which I would say is acceptable given that this can be reached relatively quickly.<br /><br />And, yeah, DevTracker has been fun to watch. I don't often find myself exasperated at BWA, but announcing all this one <i>day</i> before the relevant patch is really quite unprofessional.Calphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15809660484854758097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5973603753716110278.post-57616556070085259212016-10-24T21:53:07.292+01:002016-10-24T21:53:07.292+01:00Eric's been a busy beaver today in advance of ...Eric's been a busy beaver today in advance of the 4.7.3 patch, and the forum goers are losing their <i>minds</i>.<br /><br />Also, he took some feedback regarding their proposed change to buying PvP cosmetics. Both ranked rewards and the empty shells you can get off the vendor by the terminal on fleet - originally they were going to be converted to requiring ranked tokens, but everybody lost their verbal continence on him, and he took the resultant fertilizer into a meeting room and came back with "we're gonna convert the "unranked" vendors to taking credits, with a Valor requirement. What would be an acceptable valor requirement."<br /><br />(Dev tracker is worth a rapid refresh or two today)Ian Argenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03704336044732061128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5973603753716110278.post-67029614528764026342016-10-24T21:16:19.186+01:002016-10-24T21:16:19.186+01:00Hmm.

As we discussed last week, we are making changes to how gearing works in our upcoming expansion, Knights of the Eternal Throne. In support of our new Galactic Command system, we will be removing Warzone Commendations from the game on November 29th when Knights of the Eternal Throne Early Access opens. As a result, any new Warzone Commendation Grants will become bound and will Bind on Pickup starting on Tuesday, with Game Update 4.7.3. <br /><br />If you have a desire to move Warzone Commendations around or have a stockpile of Warzone Commendation Grants, please ensure they are on the character you want them to be on before Tuesday’s maintenance. Please note, Customer Service will not be able to assist with any Warzone Commendation grants after Tuesday.<br /><br />It is our intent that Warzone Commendations will convert to credits (as will Crystals) with Eternal Throne’s launch. We are still working out the conversion rates and I am hopeful that I will have that information for you later next week. To reiterate, in preparation for Knights of the Eternal Throne all Warzone Commendation Grants will become bind on pickup as of Game Update 4.7.3 on Tuesday.<br /><br />Thanks everyone!<br /><br />-ericIan Argenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03704336044732061128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5973603753716110278.post-23614132109296922752016-10-23T22:35:58.227+01:002016-10-23T22:35:58.227+01:00I can't write poetry to save my life. :P

That would "peg" the prices of those mats, and basically take them off the GTN.<br />Likewise, as much as I enjoyed buying high-end companion gifts off the crystal vendors, leaving them on vendors to be bought for crystals would take them off the GTN. (Especially if the vendors sold higher-grade gifts than can be crafted, as is today the case).<br /><br />The more I think about it, the more I'm thinking removal of crystals is a Bad Idea, because of the non-gear items that can be currently bought with them. Which makes me think, "what else have they not thought out the side effect sof?"Ian Argenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03704336044732061128noreply@blogger.com
