Icysunx Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 (edited) Instead of introducing a new starter gear set which unfortunately will result in a large amount of confusion for the player base that does not frequent these forums. Couldn't Bioware Just Have: Made Centurian the starter set and Upgraded all expertise in Centurian, and Champion which would Make Centurian equal the 1.2 starter set, give those who worked and have Champion a level of gear EQUAL to what they had before 1.2, and then allow all the new players to move from Centurian to Battlemaster then to War Hero in the same manner as currently in 1.2 Same outcome except people with Centurian and Champion won't be sitting there scratching their heads wondering if they need to buy a blue set or not, or flooding the forums asking why Champion Gear and Centurian Gear was not upgraded etc. Furthermore, those people who switched out their Bm mods would still get an upgraded version, even if its 4 percent less than what the new BM mods would be.

AMKSED Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I agree. They should have just done this instead of making a lot of the gear sets useless come 1.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crawelc Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 It may seem complicated and redactive now but for anyone rolling after 1.2 the gearing system will be much better. Surely your not planning on keeping any cent pieces after 1.2 when you can buy Champ stufff for credits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helloder Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Totally agree with topic starter! Give us an equal substitution for campion gear! We've worked hard to get it! Don't nerf our efforts! It is unfair! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoganOleary Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 What are you referring too? You can't buy Champ for credits. Well from what I've read you will be come 1.2. Kinda why people stopped bothering to collect armaments ect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azgrey Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 You can't buy champion with creds in 1.2. You can buy Recruit, a blue set with no mods or set bonuses. It's good to let people have easy access to starter gear, but Bioware seems to have lost focus in how they decided to go about this whole process. They have been giving lip service to easing the gear gap and yet they decide to widen it with these changes. Even if they keep BM stats as they are now on live (accuracy heavy) and add the x2 expertise bump it will be rough. If they revert back to the better BM stat allocation they were tinkering with on test then it gets even worse. As it stands now a new 50 will get to buy gear that is roughly equal to Centurian in stats (expertise is more but that really doesn't matter when BM has much better stats and x2 expertise), then they get to have fun fighting folks in BM and WH with out a Champion set middle ground. What Bioware should have done is make Champion the starter set, bump it's expertise x2, and called it a day, but they had to reinvent the wheel instead. Makes no sense at all.
