Let's hope it wasen't a type0 because the original post is still 24 June.

@ladypirategirl

We will release images of the weapon before the 24th of July. We want something unique that stands out from other weapons.

So is it June or July sir?

@fyresails said in Legendary Sea Dog Commendation: Re-balance:

@moronicstraw July or June. Post says June

I hope it's July otherwise we would have to win 8 games a day for the next month :O

The whole thing seems to be fairly unclear if you ask me. If it weren't for the forums this news wouldn't even be out there. A clear official statement with all the details would be nice.

@lt-swag-johnson maybe in the next dev update

Next Developer Update is almost a week from now. This is the kind of thing we need to know sooner rather than later.

If you can't get the cosmetic before the 24th, it means you do not qualify for the cosmetic. The whole point of the reward cosmetic is to satisfy people that put a ton of time in PRIOR to the rebalance. If you can't get it by the 24th, you haven't put a ton of time in Arena prior to the rebalance, so you are not even a member of the group they are targeting with this reward.

@moronicstraw You should decide wether it's June or July, original post still says June...your postings in this thread is saying July.
Which one is it MR?

So how are we going to keep track of our progress after the re-balance?
What if you are half way there? Does that count as enough time and effort?

@pocketomi Sorry! It was June.

Additionally:

Due to the feedback on this thread we are going to remove the date of the 24th June.

The re-balance of the commendation will still go ahead, but we are going to put in this reward for anyone who reaches the target of 240 wins.

In Conclusion:
Legendary Sea dog Commendation at grade 5: 100 wins
Unique weapon cosmetic: 240 wins

No deadline date, updating the main thread now.

Thank you all for your feedback!

@moronicstraw

Wow, I was very excited to just read July 24th, now there is no limit!

I love long term non-time locked goals, so I can appreciate this.

@moronicstraw I love you

This is awesome. I would love more long term goals like this. Random cosmetics to earn for achievements that aren't time locked but actually difficult to achieve.

Thank you for listening to the feedback and not making me choose between traveling and a cosmetic. (Spoiler traveling would have won)

Must add that since the original announcement, we (wife and I) have attempted 11-12 matches and placed 1st 5 times, 2nd/3rd all but one time with various throw together crews. No way could we meet June 24th due to pre-planned vacations and what not on top of the luck, but July would have been feasible.

Glad my efforts in TT's and helping others with those isnt going to directly lock me out of something in the other mode.

Sounds good, but how are we able to keep track of our progress after we have reached 100 wins after the re-balance?

"Do I have weapon? No. Keep playing"
;)

Conclusion, NO deadline so far. Good :P
This thread should be locked and forgotten about!

Hopefully another ÛBER LEGENDARY SEA DOG for 240? :P haha

"Do I have weapon? No. Keep playing" ;)

We all know how commendations sometimes don't roll over.

Every since Rare released re-balances for commendations and achievement I feel like I am losing progress. Why do the counters stop once Grade V has been reached? I would really like to know how many Skeleton Forts I have raided or how many Villainous Skull I have handed in. Statistics page anyone?

Few people managed to do it in such a short time makes it suspicious.

So devs are changing it to make it lower.

But are rewarding suspicious activity with a unique cosmetic!

@moronicstraw I got a question. Why don't you make the commendation go to grade 6 but at grade 5 you get the PL weapons

Oh yes. I 100% would love if my numbers wouldn't stop going up. I maxed out my sword kills (yes I am a terrible person defaulting to slashing) I would love to keep a long term running kill counter.

I was just teasing. "Here is a great thing y'all asked for in this thread" "yeah... Give me counter now too"

I just hope they understand we are grateful even though our default to post them giving us what we want is us asking for more.

@moronicstraw Much more reasonable, thank you very much

@moronicstraw What's the point of giving the Unique Weapon when people reach 240 wins anymore? The legendary weapons already exist. This move of cancelling the 240 wins until June/July 24th is devastating to your PvP community, this is the only thing since launch that we could go for that's PvP related. With 240 wins until July it's 4 wins per day which is just 2hrs of gameplay per day (Assuming you win all 4 games.) If you don't win all 4 it's maybe an extra 2 hrs a bit more if PvP is not your forte.

100 wins before 24th June or 240 wins before 24th July, both sounded reasonable enough if you ask me.

Cancelling the deadline is fine by me.

At least now I can still enjoy my life the next 2 months and get the 240 wins commendation lol.

@MoronicStraw that sounds fair and takes away the anxiety of feeling like we need to accomplish a monumental feat with a deadline. Thank you for what you and your team are doing with community feedback :)
