bthresher Posted December 9, 2016 Posted December 9, 2016 When they changed the money I told them my kids would drop, 3 did. Now we went from 8 players in our extended family to 3. (I'm one) All of us are pissed enough to cancel our subs. And BW needs to know and either answer my complaints, or we can go play wow. WoW sucks, but at least we have friends and family there. (That used to be here) So, Gear is our biggest issue / complaint. Working and grinding to get 1 empty armor, a companion gift, and a 500 credit reputation bonus over and over is pissing me off enough, and making me feel like it's all worthless. I can pay multi-millions per piece of decent gear that others are making, and keep grinding and hoping I get something useful next time. And it's crap. Now, they can friggin' ignore me and KMA, or publish something promising a fix. Frankly, I'm starting to think they want us cleared out.
Kawiki Posted December 9, 2016 Posted December 9, 2016 Anyone that has ever been a part of an Grindy RNG system has got to the point you have... and many will with this system. Even the Knights on this forum at some point are going to say this is stupid. I love pizza, who doesn't, but eating it every day you will come to hate it. It's human nature. You have many many many people with you if it is any consolation.
pegasussgc Posted December 9, 2016 Posted December 9, 2016 The CXP system definitely needs some tweaking, and it appears they intend to according to yesterday's stream. I actually recommend looking into crafting 228 gear. You could have each member of your family focus on crafting different things and work together to gear everyone. That actually sounds pretty fun.
americanaussie Posted December 9, 2016 Posted December 9, 2016 All you get is 1 empty armor and the rest? That sucks. I usually get 2 armors with one being empty but most of the time one is usually an upgrade.

Yep... our entire guild went this route and it's working guite nicely. We will wait a while for them to get the demons out of GC and then begin going after higher gear through GC. But for now, an experienced guild team in full 228s with augments is just as good as anything you can get in the first 100 levels of GC, with the marginal exception of set bonuses. In fairness to the OP though.. if they are not already crafters... then it's going to take some time to spin up all the different crafts, gathering professions, learn how the recipes work, etc. But if they organize, they could be up and running in a week to 10 days if they spread the workload as you suggest. On the other hand, crafted 228s are pretty prolific on the GTNs right now, and if you are patient and bargain shop... a few million credits would deck out a character very nicely, with the possible exception of augments.... as the slots are material intensive and therefore expensive right now on the GTNs. That said.... MK-9s are inexpensive and about 80% of the stats of Mk-10... so they could go that route until the prices on MK-10s come down over time. This is all very workable for any player that simply does not want to take on GC until they get it's properly tuned and smoothed out. Immediate upgrades from the best gear in 4.0 and sufficient until GC gets refined. If we did not have decent crafted gear to start 5.0... things would be a lot more ugly.
