jmdatcs Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) Thanks man. I'm looking at it on youtube atm. Looks like a great alternative. I'm very suprised that EA handles MMOs like they are with SWTOR, especially with their name somewhat on the line. Don't worry about the EA name attached to "The Secret World". It is only a marketing/distribution agreement for some regions. EA has nothing to do with and no say in development or administration. I've got a buddy in beta. His non-gaming (but still pretty good) machine runs TSW better than my gaming rig runs SWTOR. "The Secret World" is just plain sick. I'm just using 1.2 to keep my mind off TSW until beta weekends start May 11th (launch is June 19th). Although I may continue to play both. 1.2.x(s) have about 2 months of overlap in my already paid game time to re-hook me.

gwrtheyn Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) "real" times to get the comms are higher,since sometimes a warzone que pop takes 5-15min,getting in a losing void/alderan is a nearly is a great lost too(sometimes you do not even get out the spawm bevore void ends)avg 80coms is more like you win the most warzones so ist a best case scenarion where you need 39h/268h playtime i realy hope for a "fix/compensation" for the "old"(even if 2day old...) armor mods Edit: a slow gear grind is ok,but a re/grind the same gear is not Edited April 13, 2012 by gwrtheyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaaden Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Then I will spend the credits to test the theory once the servers come up. Here is what we have folks, according to the above poster, set bonuses are transferring, but are not being shown when moused over the new gear. No. Atleast for me. I lost about 800k credits (nothing to my name now ahaha) due to this. I found out the hard way that nothing transferred over. I swapped out pieces from my gloves/helm/chest before I realized no set bonus had come over. To test, (as an Assassin) I put on the 3 pieces I had just modded, used Recklessness and instead of getting 3 charges (which is the 4 piece set bonus) I only got two Then I had to strip the 3 social pieces to throw them back in my BM gear. Yay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldshatterhand Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) You only need 4 items to get the bonuses, so you can change one. I changed the chestpiece with a nice crit orange and still have both bonuses. Hid the ugly merc helmet and I can actually PvP in decent looking gear now.

Gliese Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I wish they wouldn't have done it this way. What a terrible idea, patch it in and change all set bonuses to be attached to the armoring mod and make everyone happy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moosestick Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) The twitter post linked to a dev post from mid-march that could be read both ways. ~"Pre 1.2, armor shell had the set bonus, post patch armor will have it on the mod." Can mean either post patch armor is the only stuff that will xfer Or Can mean that all armor after 1.2 will be changed to have set bonus on armoring. Hoping they fix the "bug". If they make it where its post 1.2 bought armor only and don't offer a one time armor trade in for a new set........wow.

gwrtheyn Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) the system to trade BM for WH+x is in the game only new merchant needed 4 trade old BM -> new BM or BM armoring with set bonus Edit: empty BM -> armoring with set bonus trade would be great Edited April 13, 2012 by gwrtheyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwrtheyn Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 (edited) new bm part,armor mod was bound to feet->ora feet -> no set bonus in tooltip and no effect(tested !) i don´t think WH gear will work too i would say is broken 4 pvp gear Edited April 14, 2012 by gwrtheyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psyclosis Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Doesnt work. I pulled mods out of new BM gear into war hero crafted, no bonus. Crock of **** game this is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediDuckling Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Am I not understanding this right? I thought with 1.2 you could pull out your Mods on PVP gear, put them in regular orange gear and get the set bonus that transfers? I.E 4 piece stalker gear gets you another charge of Recklessness etc? yea this is anoying, im hoping its just a tempoerary bug i dont think thye have added the set bonus yet to the armoring mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwrtheyn Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 (edited) since the armoring on new bm feet shows "feet" on remove in the name,i think its bugged Edited April 14, 2012 by gwrtheyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantor Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Yep still does not work. I pulled all 3 mods from 2 pcs of "NEW" BM gear and put them into the correctly matching "Orange Crafted Augmented" armor and lost my set bonus. I tested it to see if it was a tool tip thing or not. "No tool tip error", the set bonus is gone. I am now broke, broken, and sad. This just sucks...:-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwrtheyn Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 kinda "fear" WH gear setbonus will not work too(and i don´t whant to know how many creds the mod ripping there costs...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owlinspace Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I removed all mods from my BM chest and placed them into an orange.. both pieces I got post 1.2. The set bonus DID NOT transfer. This is not working as intended then right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matekwong Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 (edited) Is this considered a sca.... ermm... bait and switch? I continue to sub just because I hope to look different than others in PVP and it turned out to be borked... this is soooo sad.

CaptainDil Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 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.

kshira Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I left my BM set untouched and it still didnt work. Between the insane damage and the new wz system this is just icing on the cake... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

islander Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Yeah, I'm still very annoyed at this. Having to regrind all of my pieces in order to put them into my preferred custom saer marshall set is quite disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwrtheyn Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 (edited) no regrind BM old and new BM pieces do not work !(tested !) (WH modd ripping costs 44k,aka 132k 1 piece) Edited April 16, 2012 by gwrtheyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aikagi Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 no regrind BM old and new BM pieces do not work !(tested !) (WH modd ripping costs 44k,aka 132k 1 piece) Yeah, I can confirm new BM pieces don't work either. I presume rakata will be the same. It's just the new sets which are assigned to armouring.

vanwiee Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 I really want to spell this one out for players and devs. First to clarify as I now understand it, the bonuses carry over from the armoring on EITHER of the new 1.2 armor tiers those being, the BH and the WH. I enjoy both PVP and PVE myself and I don't see this as an issue singular to either crowd. From a players perspective, we want our characters to look cool! If we earn the set gear then, we should be able to put those set pieces into anything we want. (I also wasted LOTS of creds getting a whole augmented PVP and PVP set of helm, legs, chest so, I feel you guys) From a MMO franchise perspective you guys gotta realize that making people strive for new gear, play longer and thus, pay you longer is your goal. That means releasing new content and gear that requires work to receive correct? Yes, totally... (and you know that clearly but you are kind of missing something huge!) How many free to play games are PURELY based off of making your avatar look cool? (all of them pretty much... and that is how they make their money) You can still make us work our *** off for the new set gear but don't you realize that when you let us put our mods into whatever we want then we are striving to achieve even more of your virtual items and therefore, playing and paying more! Plus, we are satisfied customers because we get to look the way we want to and that is cool! Honestly... why the hell did you even make orange crafting boxes for BM gear if the bonuses don't carry? There is NO reason not to immediately change this! I think my argument for why it is a win-win is pretty solid...
