Epic and Iconic Hearts sales weren't up to the expected number...

Putting Commendations in Otto boxes makes more incentive to buy them, since straight hearts sales are not good.



Yes. As Dull said: that's just a big "fuck you people".

I haven't tried this particular grind yet, but does 1300 just happen to be approximately the amount of CoVs you will still need to buy a heart once you cap at 28 (if you don't stone)?

No, you have to have 4200 comms for an epic or iconic heart.  It takes about 2 climbs from 20-28 to get this amount only getting comms and not even looking at the good stuff you could have had if you did not have to take comms...although, I do sometimes take a look at items on some higher quest and take those instead so I can outfit Saaluta and Saalutaball for EE content.  Smiley

I have gone from 20 to 28 2x and only have 2200 comms.  Of course I do the Von 3,5 farm 2x a day. Making about 800k to 1mil xp a day in about 3 hours no pots.  So 1300 is not even close.  Now if I were to just do the other EH or EE farming it may be closer to 1300 needed to grab a heart. (unsure as I have always used Von to level)

Hmmm... Maybe Turbine is thinking that the 1300 replaces the CoVs you would have gotten if you didn't use the stone?

And yeah, I realize that trying to figure out WTF Turbine is thinking (or if they think at all) is pointless mental masturbation.  Not sure why I'm bothering, other than this seems like a weird move even for them.

If they think that you'll get 1300 comms from 2 mill worth of experience (that's how much the stones are, right? Not counting bonuses), they're pretty off. That works out to 4290 for 6.6 million xp. That sure as shit isn't happening, and I don't do a daily von3/wiz king like a lot of people. My sorc just hit level 24, and he has ~2300, including 500 I moved over from elsewhere and his WHOLE ENTIRE PREVIOUS EPIC LIFE.

Oi vey.

And 4200 for a heart.  That is some tinfoil hat worthy math right there

If you do the math.. 2 mill is about 30% of the 6.6 mill xp needed.. 1300 coms is about the same % of the 4200 comms needed.

no its not, I am not able to get 1300 comm at the same time as 2 mil xp. from lvl 20-28 I usually end up with almost 2k comms. almost 2k, its about 1900. the number  - 4200 comms is simply retarted

Yeah, this is it.  This is Turbine-like thinking.  2 mil is 30% of the xp needed, so include 30% of the CoVs.  It's just like someone (scud) said - why buy xp if you still need to grind the quests anyway for CoV's?  This covers that somewhat.

They'll continue to nerf quest XP selectively to ensure you'll have NO trouble getting your commendations by the time you hit 28/30.

Another reason not to Epic TR, or hell, even play epic levels for anything other than farming old raids easily lol.

Personally I just cycle through my stable of characters, I pick up the next one in line, bring him/her to cap, and so on.
Right now I'm at my second character that reached 28, and I'm working on the third...
19 Toons, some not even LVL 20... It should take me lots of time. ( and when they raise the cap at 30, I just restart at the top of the list )
