Rahak Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I'm willing to make sacrifices to get out of the horrible looking BH pvp armour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSIlverSurfing Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 So people who worried about augments breaking the game should not be worried in the end... Kinda sucks. I like how my character look, but I was very eager to see new appearances in WZs. Yeah I actually like the look of the BM Bounty Hunter Ware Hero gear. I was stoked honestly. Just sucks now without the set bonus, especially as a Bodyguard healer. We were hella nerfed this path, which made burst healing harder to do. Healing is a total different story in 1.2, so the set bonus is pretty substantial to not have, especially on your fastest cast heal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ocping Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Yeah basically it's down to this. If you worked really hard grinding forever to get valor 60 or 70 or whatever, just to get your full BM gear...not only does your valor rank not mean anything anymore, because anybody can wear your armour now... But now, they teased you with custom armour, then took it away last minute. And the only thing you can do now is grind endlessly for new War Hero gear which is ridiculously ugly, just to spend a million credits to pull all the mods out and put it into something you enjoy wearing... all at the risk of having ALL of your armour useless again because you switched the mods around, so the next time Bioware completely revamps the system your old gear won't transfer over to the new system and you will be left with subpar crap that any level 50 can have for a few hundred thousand credits. Fun! I feel exactly the same way. I got every single piece of gear/valor the hard way (i.e. playing thru **** gear status and getting valor from 2-3 hour ilum runs getting outnumbered by imps in our base) and now it's all down the drain. They should've stuck to the old system of BM gear requiring BM valor and WH gear requiring WH gear. The previous patch made it so easy to get valor most people levelled to 50 and had rank 50 valor on ding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSIlverSurfing Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Not sure if this is accurate or not, but looks like this could be a bug and a possible fix is inc. This would be nice if it happens to be true. Not sure why the communications person with Bioware said otherwise.

Canarith Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Anotherwords, hopefully they are fixing it with this little hotfix patch. I have not personally spent credits on doing this, but I know a lot of ppl on my server did. GL folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

islander Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 If the INTENTION was to allow all set bonnuses on existing gear to actually transfer, then I'm a happy camper on this again. Even if it takes them X days to figure it out/hotfix it. I can wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSIlverSurfing Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Scratch that. I just read a twitter from an hour ago and it said that it is only to apply to new armor pieces. Bioware employees need to get on the same page. here is the twitter link. http://twitter.com/#!/swtor The last post on the issue leads me to believe they think it works as intended. Think I've honestly had enough from this game. They can keep the free month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthPunitor Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Sorry to say this but... I followed the 1.2 patch from development, predicted what was going to happen, and never wasted anytime grinding my 50 and instead leveled up some alts. For me, 1.2 is excellent but i guess thats because i planned ahead. Cant wait to finish collecing my bm set so i can pull all the mods out of the trash gear and put them in my awesome pre 50 mando gear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackeyla Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I'm pretty sure it said right on the patch notes that set bonuses were NOT transferring to items when you remove the mods at this time. (Not sure if anyone said this already but I skimmed all posts and didn't notice it being mentioned) All I did was take the mods out of my BM chest item and put it in something cuter. That way I still get my set bonus and I don't look like everyone else. I was very disappointed on the "color customization" front, but when you sync your gear up to your chest piece and the colors sort of match...I guess it's better than nothing.

There's no excuse for whining about costs. It's not like they were raised. They've always been there. Go run dailies, save the wasted tears.

jmdatcs Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 It's not a total loss. Just wait for a good looking piece of crit-crafted orange to come along. 5 augments > set bonuses. I've got 3 so far. +36 end and +54 between acc/crit/surge is pretty sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSIlverSurfing Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Not going to worry about it. Wasn't terribly content with 1.2 bodyguard with the healing nerfs etc as well, so I'm just going to try out another game. Thanks for the post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very suprised that EA handles MMOs like they are with SWTOR, especially with their name somewhat on the line.
