Are people seriously saying we shouldn't have dual specs? Really? I bet if I posted we should have armor sets there would be idiots saying "in real life you should have to put on each piece of gear, you're not hardcore enough" ... Man, the ignorance of some people is astounding...

I have hit 200 and nothing ... I'm not wasting any more time and credits on this ****ed up ****...

According to the sticky each blue has 5 purple variations... there are 3 blue variations of a green. I definitely know this to be true. The problem is discovering more than one of the 5 purples. When I hit 200 (in about 20m) I am going to give up and say it's ether A) A Bug B) Working as intended but one person can not discover more than one purple per blue.

At least you got the duplicate notice ... I haven't even gotten that... now at 192 ... I love crafting in MMOs, it's one of my favorite parts but I'm about to just say **** this nonsense and just buy what I want. If I did that I'd have everything I wanted already ... This is complete BS and I can't find a single other person who has been able to acquire multiple purples from a single blue; not even one. I know multiple people who are now breaking 100 REs of a blue after their first purple though... And of course BW won't respond since they're going for the Blizzard, "we don't talk to the community" angle. I miss Trion right now, lol.

From what I can tell the rate for lvl 49 items (blue->purple) is about 2.5 - 3%. This is the case for nearly everything I've tried... However in this specific instance (trying to obtain different purples from the same base blue) I'm seeing a 0%. As in, I have yet to find anyone that has obtained multiple purples from the same base blue. This was NOT the case in beta...

For a while I saved them up (thought I was going to sell them) then REed 10 in a row... didn't seem to make any difference since I STILL didn't get anything. I would also not say I'm very lucky. On average, it takes about 30 - 35 blues to get a purple. I have multiple crafting alts and friends all reporting the same thing. If it takes to 50 something seems wrong... So now I'm wondering if perhaps this isn't a problem with earpieces specifically?! I can tell you right now that it just isn't worth it. PERIOD. If it takes 2M credits to get a recipe, you'll NEVER make that money back from making those items. You could fully gear your fresh level 50 in high level BoE purples off the AH/GTM with that kind of cash.

I definitely understand the way it works... I have just been unable to find anyone that has gotten more than one purple schematic from a single blue... I'm specifically crafting [Critical Reflex Enhancement Adapter]s I've received the schematic for [supremacy Reflex Enhancement Adapter]s 188 later and still not another schematic from it ... it's costing a small fortune: Durasteel x 376 = 225,600 Thermoplast Flux x 376 = 150,400 Zal Alloy x 752 = 752,000 Ciridium x 376 = 564,000 Grand total of approx: 1,692,000 credits... These are obviously based on going price rates on my server but still... this is out of control I have nothing to show for all this effort... I've made so many of them I'm, in all honesty wondering if it isn't bugged! I'm about to hit 200 which would put the discovery rate at .5% ? That seems a little low to me, especially when there's 3 more to discover after this one just for this one blue schematic...

Now up to 185 ...

I wouldn't be in here if I had REed 30 or 40 or 50 blues... I REed a blue lvl 49 earpiece and obtained my first purple recipe after 35. However I have been unable to obtain a different variation of the purple. I have now REed exactly 177 of the same blue piece AFTER getting my first purple and I'm really starting to wonder if something isn't bugged ... like you can only get one of the purples per blue... I was unable to find anyone on my server who has gotten more than one purple from a blue. Anyone else experiencing this?

I play a 50 merc ... Just stopping by to reiterate some points I agree on: We're not OP Melee does chew us to shreds if they know how to play The sole reason we have top DPS in many matches is because of opportunistic AoE We can heal ourselves but not very well AT ALL (unless specifically speced for it)... it's slow and builds heat REALLY fast The class seems pretty balanced to me. I think the biggest thing people are seeing and maybe not realizing (which would account for all the XXXX class is OP posts) is geared level 50s... There is a huge gap between fresh 50s / lower levels and actual PvP geared guys... I've seen geared 50s 1v4 lower levels and take every one of them down...

Thank you, thank you, thank you... This guide totally cleared up every question I had.

I ran into a premade group of pvp geared 50s... My *** still hurts

Perhaps this is just a server / side population issue... I'm on Imperial Side of Port Nowhere...

I'm sure you can find H4s and Flashpoints at whim

We really need the ability to respec cheaply (read FREE) OR multiple specs... Everywhere I go I see LF1M, Healer... NEED HEALS... Not many people level as a healer as it's just too slow. My friend and I are just skipping all the H4s and Flashpoints for now because it's just not fun waiting around for, literally, hours trying to find a healer ...

Or your definition of "more"... Most people don't say "there's more XYZs" when there's only 1 more, LOL

They're totally gonna run out of lightsabers by then!

They're gonna run out of lightsabers!!!

11.29 here... still not in...

Awesome, that was a welcome break from waiting for access

Windowed mode is superior if you want to alt tab at all ... just sayin', retrain your OCD

Probably the same cats that cancelled their preorder but still get early access

You Aussies always get screwed, amirite?

Exactly this ^^

PEMDAS EFX the number one skirmisher I'm in the house like furniture, pessimist I'll push the envelope off a precipice...
