Basic commendations will now buy all planetary gear as well as entry level 60 gear., which will be 186.



You will get to carry your existing Elite and Ultimate commendations into 3.0. There will be no downgrade or conversion of commendations.



Elite commendations will purchase 192 gear.



Ultimate commendation will purchase 196 gear.

If the above is true, it makes sense to start stockpiling commendations instead of spending them. Why spend Ultimate commendations on 180 gear today when you can spend those same commendations on 196 gear in a little over a month.



Or am I missing something? (Or just plain have it wrong.)



Edit: Modified basic gear tier to be listed at 186. Let me start by saying I did not hear the Twitch Stream myself, so this is all hearsay now, but I'm looking for confimation that this is what we expect based on Friday's stream. I will update this post if anyone has information that invalidates any of it.If the above is true, it makes sense to start stockpiling commendations instead of spending them.

I wanted to explain exactly how the Commendation stuff will work in 3.0 as I know I still had some questions I was unsure of on the stream. Here is the basic layout of what will happen in 3.0. Planetary and Classic Commendations no longer exist. All current Planetary and Classic Commendations will become Basic.

All Elite and Ultimate Commendations that you have will become Basic Commendations. Elite and Ultimate Commendations still exist but you will need to earn them anew in 3.0. I know there are a few followup questions; what will the cap be, is there a conversion rate, etc. We are still working out details like that in testing but as soon as we have it nailed down I will let you know!
