Things worthy of Standing Stone going EXTREME PREJUDICE™ on.:
- Epic and Legendary Mysterious ring upgrades, please.
- Change the stack size of filigree in the shared bank to 50. The 5 stack makes the shared bank worthless for storing filigree in a human usable manner.
- Fixing why I don't connect to the chat server for 5 minutes when I log into a game world.
- Fixing the wonky Lightning Sphere and Tactical Det firing by converting them to use alchemist spell arcing.
- Redoing the drop rates of tomes in generic and raid loot tables.
Closing in on 60 runs and don't have 15 commendations yet, now you want 25... per celestia.
Now you also want a buttload for this raid?
Fail.
Celestia gains a lot less from a green slot than most of them gain from a red slot. Celestia already breaks DR. If you're the type that wants to grind to the ends of the earth then have at it, but if the idea of that much more grind is bothering you, then it's totally fine when talking about Celestia. Red slots would be great for the others for metal or good dr breaking. A lot more attractive for the grind.
For me, I think this is passed my limit. 3 for set bonus+5 for enhancement+7 for extra mod+10 for slot+1 for augment makes 26. I get 1 every 3 or 4 runs mostly on hard, and some normal. At least 78 runs to fill one weapon out. 78+ runs PER WEAPON, PER CHARACTER. Then there's the new equipment and the other ml24 augment slots I'll probably want, and that too is per character. Hell NO.
As overwhelming in a good way as all this new loot and "new" epic content is, it's just as overwhelming in a bad way with all the grind the extra commendations wanted brings.
EDIT:
And they're BTC too... lol...

ME BARB, ME SMA-ok I stand here with pretty blue lines around me. ok I take damage. ok bye.
Let's sum it up. Come U17 you'll be using heroic commendations for:
- upgrades for CitW loot - up to 25 per item;
- upgrades for Fall of Truth (FoT) loot - up to 12 per item;
- cormyrian and GH epic dragonscale armors - 3 per item;
- level 24 augments at the trader - 1 per item.
Please remember that heroic commendations have gained significantly more uses since their introduction. While the supply was indeed increased, for an average player (not the "i'm roflstomping ee web" kind) it's still nowhere near enough to cover upcoming "expenses".
I honestly hope that heroic comms will be added to other epic raids, perhaps at lowered drop %. Otherwise, i'll likely wait for the next Best Thing.
