It would be kind of nice if we, the groups, could give something back to the solo player too though. <br /><br />I'm nearly always grouped with people in my company so I never get to give these out, but we're a really small company so we always need at least one extra body to fill out the group. A lot of times the people we get are more experienced players than we are, and really help us learn the instance. Or solve problems we're having with various fights. I would love to be able to do more than just say "Thanks!" to those people.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18169583831884579551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-49189429966105827082013-12-31T12:00:02.410-08:002013-12-31T12:00:02.410-08:00A problem with the system, however, is that if som...A problem with the system, however, is that if someone leaves the party before you open the commendation window, you are unable to give them a commendation.<br /><br />Now, I'll probably just use that as "Hey, if you didn't want to stick around long enough to give a commendation/wait for someone to finish the cutscene/get loot, then you probably don't deserve the commendation. But it's also still kind of a goofy problem.RJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10492971146589461692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-44725692234534005052013-12-31T06:13:01.754-08:002013-12-31T06:13:01.754-08:00Well they tried.
Standard Operating Procedure qui...Well they tried.<br /><br />Standard Operating Procedure quickly became to just give it to the tank to click it off and get out of there.<br /><br />So it's already just a mechanism for occasionally punishing tanks you don't like by withholding their commendation.<br /><br />Also if you queue with just one person you get commendations without having to (or being able to) give any out. I never queue alone, never gave one out and am just quietly collecting commendations totally unable to contribute.<br /><br />All this said it won't hurt the game any, but I feel it's going a bit far heralding it as genius.<br />Electroluxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06387150279953837398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-22339553930289403342013-12-31T05:28:18.577-08:002013-12-31T05:28:18.577-08:00Nice idea.

A currency to unlock deco items would probably go well, or a kind of rep grind which gives you access to more stuff as you climb up. It may even work :)Helistarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01435861741164342377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-26514141216232277472013-12-30T21:46:24.170-08:002013-12-30T21:46:24.170-08:00Huh, that's freaking brilliant, actually.

I had a blast for the month I played... so many games, so little time.Talarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17684944568000522986noreply@blogger.com
