    Dual Spec...when?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    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...

    REing Blue -> Purple Rate ?Bugged?

    in Crew Skills

    I know you get multiple blue types, could it be that you need to get the different blue type and then RE them to get the Purple variants?

     

    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.

    REing Blue -> Purple Rate ?Bugged?

    I was having problems with implants for biochem. Got my first purple in my first couple tries but it had accuracy on it which is worthless to me as a healer. So figured I would keep reverse engineering them and should be able to get a different purple. After about another 50-75 (never really kept track) I got one "You already have this schematic" message.

     

    I just gave up and bought the ones I wanted on the GTN for 45k a piece.

     

    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.

    I think that its more difficult to get purples (and probably blues) from higher level schematics. I started RE early with level 21 implants, then 25s, 29, 33, 37 etc. and have 10+ purple schematics. The lower level items yield purples at a much higher rate, i would guess 15-20% at 21. By 37 i think it's below 5%.

     

    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...

    I would say if you have gotten one purple so far you are very lucky. I am working on the lvl 49 earpieces also and have now done around 100 without hitting a single purple schematic. For variation I am working off of 3 different blue patterns and still no luck.

     

    Is there any information on whether REing a crit version of the blue improves your chances of getting the purple schematic?

     

    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 am not sure about earpieces, but as far as weapons go for each blue you have 5 different possibilities on the purple. If I have wanted a gun with different stats than the purple I got I just keep RE'ing until I get a different schematic.

     

    I just looked at the market and the earpieces appear to follow the same naming convention, ie overkill, fervor, anti-armor, etc. So I would assume that it would work the same and you are just getting very unlucky. You probably need another cybertech to chime in who has been successful though.

     

    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...

    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?

    Heavy armor, Ranged Burst Dps, and the ability to heal? Really?

    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...

    Seriously??? There are more sith sorcs in the game than any other class.....

     

    Granted the sorc could go up the non healing tree. Not sure what server the OP is from, but on my server, there's TOO MANY pure sorc healers lol.

     

    We have issues finding tanks on my server

     

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

    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 ...

    [Unofficial] Day 3 Invite Waves

    "...which means we'll have more 'waves' than the previous four-per-day. We are inviting more people today than we did during yesterday."

     

     

    That depends on your definition of waves. I was hoping for at least 6 with that statement.

     

    Or your definition of "more"...

     

    Most people don't say "there's more XYZs" when there's only 1 more, LOL

    Alt tabbing from the game

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Ah, I can't play games in windowed mode. Just one of those little OCD things I have where I know it's in windowed mode, even if it doesn't seem like it. Hopefully the folks at Bioware will figure something out soonish.

     

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