[R-4 Anomaly Gearing]

you wont need this gear for anything outside of R4 and maybe the hardest NiMs(even tho everything but gods was cleared with 330 gear) you wont need R4 gear for solo content, you wont need R4 gear for FP, its irelevant gear for you, it wont affect pvp etc.

 

 

you dont complete a single player game by completing the 1st level over and over again.

 

 

6.0 gearing was one of the worst if not the worst gearing system i have seen in 20 years of playing MMORPG's.

[Game Update 7.0.2 Known Issues]

Not so much an issue, more of an inconvenience, can you revert back to using Daily Resource Matrix for buying 320 gear, many find it hard to come by conquest commendations, plus a lot of us have max capped out daily resource matrix's with literally nothing to spend them on, before the update a lot of use brought 320 gear to get rid of them then reverse engineer to get a few extra tech frags, and now we can't even do that anymore so they just collect dust and give us that constant annoying pop up about being maxed out and I can't switch it off because I don't see group invites etc then -.-

 

320 gear still uses the same mats, before the update you used conquest comendation to buy 320 gear and deconstruct, now you just buy the tech frag bag

ETA on fixing NiM ops?

 

TFB/SnV are unplayable

[Fight mechanics based on position not working as intended]

Kell Dragon on styrak applies spines to every1, alot of NiMs are just unplayable rn any estimated time until fix?

[AoE Dot Spread no longer working since operation hotfix]

Maybe you don't remember, but the concentrated fire set for the first 6 months +- and people were happy with that, but after they nerfed the set and made it less effective for arsenal merc, people did complain. It was the only BiS dps gear that couldn't be purchased from a vendor, and that did upset people.

 

maybe the majority was but there was always some1 that complained, after getting spoiled by 6.0 every gearing system will make some1 mad somewhere , before knowing what 6.0 was ppl didnt complain that the highest gear rating was only on ops, cause that was the norm on MMORPGs

[Itemization in 7.0]

And having an Ops as part of the story is exactly why Oricon is the ONLY story that has that, and that SoR which came after has an option to either do the Ops, or take the solo route. But they didn't hand out the Ops gear either. And nobody complained.

 

In 6.0, some of the BiS set bonus gear was gated behind Ops. We didn't die, it didn't keep us from being able to do solo content. We used the next best thing. And it was enough.

 

And we were thankful.

Sorry I had to.

 

nobody complained on SoR because 6.0 had not spoiled them yet, after 6.0 regarldess of the gearing system some1 will always be mad about it

I have learned a lot today:

 

1) Raiders need better gear. Whether this is to compensate for ____, or because they are bad players that could use a boost, I'm still not sure.

 

2) An interesting new meta is coming with 7.0 - find a raider, pick a rude emote, and apply

 

where was that said?

did u have the same meta in every expansion outside of 6,0? since 6,0 is the only expansion that fought against the norm

[Itemization in 7.0]

And before that good set bonuses like Apex Predator were exclusive to ops. Nobody complained about that. That's sensible, probably only ops players can fully utilize it.

But then if you recognize ops players can utilize and enjoy higher stats and better bonuses why do you want to deprive me of something I can utilize and enjoy, that is conclusion to a questline?

 

 

If your only defense is "other games in the genre are even worse" that's an extremely weak defense.

 

ppl did complain about the apex predator set and sets being locked to NiM dxun(mainly because they got spoiled about having most of the gears on a vendor), if a questline has an ops or a fp u should not be able to solo it, the fact that u can in swtor is good

 

"even worse", no AFAIK swtor is the ONLY game in the genre to offer the option to complete group content as a solo player, u are playing an MMORPG, not a single player game, this is the only and best defense u need ,comparing games of the same genre not attacking the system without having a basis to compare it too, if swtor complied with the norms of an MMORPG you would not have the option to solo any fp, and if they never added said option, no1 would even think twice about having the option in the firstplace

[Itemization in 7.0]

I make no comparison, I criticize a product I'm paying for.

 

 

 

Why would I compare something I like, or at least liked to this point, to something I don't find appealing?

 

 

 

Yes! But then why are you arguing agaist people who don't like the fact that the thing making SWTOR unique and better being taken away?

 

it isnt being taken away tho you still have access to solo fps and modded gear only difference will be raiders having more tertiary stats because they play harder content

 

to give a good critique you need to take into account multiple examples of the same thing, not just the thing you are criticing , liking or disliking is irelevant comparing is the only way to see how spoiled players are in swtor

[Itemization in 7.0]

And when did I do that? I said I want to finish my story the way I like to finish my story, that is solo.

 

 

I don't pay for most most other MMORPGs, I don't care about most other MMORPGs, I pay and care for this one.

 

 

I told you, I'll be fine with Dread Masters just dying out of fear at my sight in a cutscene.

 

so its unfair because you compare it in a vacuum(everything will be disappointing and unfair if u compare it in a vaccuum)

compared to other games of the genre the option to play some solo fps (or the choice to not play the ops on revan[main story]) is unique.

taking what makes this game unique and better than most other MMORPG's for granted isnt healthy

[Itemization in 7.0]

Not true. I can'f finish planetary story without doing ops. You have your gear gated behind your favorite type of content and now you also have my story gated behind your favorite type of content. This is what's really unfair.

 

not true? planetary story is a side quest its unfair if you compare it to 6.0, if you compare it to most other MMORPG's not only do you not have access to the gear but u also dont have the option for solo dungeons(fps)

 

hell in ff as early as lv 20 u have to complete dungeons to progress on your main scenario quest and you cant solo those dungeons

[Itemization in 7.0]

Very fair. You get the gear you need for your content, I want to be able to finish my story my way.

But I'll settle for a cutscene where I enter the room and Dread Master are so afraid of me they all die of heart attack.

 

no1 is getting the gear they need for their content, every1 will be overgeared oricon story is a side mission just like every other mission with ops

[Itemization in 7.0]

I have a 338 main hand on the pts. Why would they allow that if 336 is going to be the max.

As pointed out in the other thread, this hasn’t been confirmed anywhere and is a misinterpretation of what BioWare Or Chris said.

Please show us where BioWare have stated the moddable vendor will be available for all play styles.

And even if it is true, what’s the time frame for this to happen? 2 months, 6 months or 24 months. I know if I have to wait months to min max my stats for pvp or flash points, then I’m out here.

BioWare could easily settle this argument with a simple yellow post, but they haven’t. What does that say about their intentions?

"Is the only way we can get moddable gear is if we can clear VM 80 OP? Is there no more min/maxing for players who can't clear the hardest content in game?

No. Over time, as upgrade ceilings raise with new game updates, moddable gear will be accessible to all players. At 7.0’s launch there will be no moddable gear awarded above level 306"

its on the post...moddable vendor for all play styles, currently dont even know the timetable for 334 gear let alone moddable gear

A bit ago you told me to stop being a 'white knight' over you being very toxic towards someone with a disability. How about this, stop being a white knight for the devs. They are more than capable, much more than you, of defending their changes - but have yet to do so. Them just posting changes, and then answering all the concerns of players with pretty much the same post but will bullet points is not defending their changes to our concerns. Them not doing so makes the forums devolve into a toxic mess and divides the forum into two sides. You being toxic (I was toxic towards you because you were 100% feeding the troll toll...) and replying to EVERY SINGLE thing someone says is doing nothing. If the devs want to hide stuff from us behind discord chats, when they do not have an official discord, and refuse to actually open up a discussion about any of this with them on their public forum - this thread will keep getting more toxic and toxic. They need to come in here and defend these changes and not just reiterate what the original post said.

If you haven't noticed, a lot of players are not happy about any of this. You repeating yourself over and over again with the same quotes and discord screenshots does not make people less unhappy or frustrated. But hey, keep feeding the troll toll, I'm not going anywhere... doesn't matter to me.

clearly does matter as you just typed a bible, i have yet to be toxic to any1 that isnt you if i was feel free to point out where

[Itemization in 7.0]

All of your posts are based on this mythical ability to one-shot mobs as a reason why solo people don't need decent gear. And according to your other posts, it's all the gear numbers and not skill at all that makes one-shots possible.

 

Which is it?

 

?? did u even read any of the posts?? and it can easily be both solo content will be balanced to 318 and u will have 326 at launch and even with 318 worst case scenario u end up 2 shotting enemies no1 shot, its not a mythical ability, its how overpowered bioware made your toon and your companion on solo content

 

on onderon with 318 gear no augments and no crystal u need 2 hard hitting abilities for the mobs

 

 

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/889962788095668234/908143542659063888/unknown.png

 

so 326/334 conquest gear will def make you still able to one shot most standard mobs

 

dmg with 306 gear is still lower than 318 gear with no augments

A dot doesn't 1 hit mobs... In this regard my class is underpowered in solo content compared to others, and these changes hurt it even more so.

 

even as a dot class you have a high dmg single target ability but yeah not 1 shotting mobs is def bad god forbid solo content becomes something other than a 1 shot fest

[Itemization in 7.0]

Because you equate "knowing how to play" with skill. I know how to play I physically can't move my fingers fast enough to play well! My skill isn't the issue, my brain doesn't sent the signals to my fingers fast enough for me to do rotations properly. I can't buy a new brain. You seem to be very cold and unfeeling to others. I hope that my experience may help you see a different POV.

 

i never ever mentioned skill or knowing how to play all i mentioned was the numbers on the gear that will allow you to 1 shot all weak mobs and make quick work of gold ones.

" If you care about this game you need to realize not every player can do what you can do"

these were your words , my numbers are the same as every1 elses it has nothing to do with skill or knowing how to play

[Itemization in 7.0]

It matters to me. Esp when global cooldown is so huge for a dot based class. So yes.

 

did you even read my posts?

thats exactly what i said that 1.3s gcd will make a difference in all content , but tbf a dot class will only do the full rotation on a champion mob, everything else will die way to fast on solo content

[Itemization in 7.0]

As a madness sorc, global cooldown is a huge part of my rotation to get good dps....

Your point in invalid.

 

but my point was that 1.3s gcd matters even in solo content?

[Itemization in 7.0]

And that would still be worse in stats due to the different stat distributions between the gear tracks in the screenshot you literally just posted in the post I was quoting, meaning irating is not the only factor and you know that.

 

As for your edit asking why it would matter for solo players to have better distributed stats, because it affects how fast you kill things, like all gear upgrades do. If it didn't matter at all, why would we be getting any upgrades? Getting to specific tertiary stat targets matters, having more power matters, etc. It may not matter as much outside of Ops, but it still matters.

 

But I'm glad you can admit that there is a difference between the gear tracks now, so you can stop pretending Conquest gear will be "BIS" at 334.

how can you get faster than 1 shotting ?

i am 1 shotting everything on onderon with 318 gear gold mobs just require 2 high hit abilities

power will be capped in most solo content since its level synced so that wont matter, only tertiary stats will and as explained only major difference in tertiary is the smoothness that 1.3s gcd brings, crit and accuracy wont be noticable

[Itemization in 7.0]

OK, fair. Have you tiers.

And I want a solo option to finish Oricon story. Fair?

 

how is it fair to have a solo mode for operations?

having solo mode fps is bad enough

[Itemization in 7.0]

Wow, that is one of the cruelest things said to me on this forum. I feel sorry for you.

 

how so?

everything said is regarding numbers on your gear. never mentioned any1's skill level
