In the year 2025, video game reviewers on youtube will look back at this, as one of those moments, akin to the NES karate kid 2 video game or one of those old video games with no saves or atari's ET. Why not wait until after conquest is fixed at the very least, or atleast a year after the 236 augs? I have other toons to work on. I gotta go back and farm on the toon I just max geared. It's wack. I wasted so much cartel coins to make my toons look amazing and there's no time to play them. It's just wack. If you want players to stay with the game, encourage them to play their alts, so players can play different classes and not get bored to *&@^#*@@ death. Anthem is waiting in the wings.

Sheike Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 We are not adjusting Bolster as a part of 5.9. However, we are going to monitor power levels as players begin to get the augments and if needed, we can look at increasing Bolster in a later update. -eric https://imgflip.com/i/27trin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eriamea Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 What's the point of gearing toons if you are going to change it every few months to do the same old content? Before , new tiers only came with a real game update. Eternal grinding has become the new motto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glocko Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 (edited) So widening the gap with class imbalance wasn’t enough, you also want to widen the gear gap. It is obvious they are pushing this MMO to maintenance mode. Buff snipers and do nothing for mid tier and low tier dps..... Geared sniper with new Augs vs Powertech..... lay your bets Now if they would have simply made adjustments to bolster to close this pending issue I would probably not jump to a conspiracy theory Edited April 6, 2018 by Glocko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidAtkinson Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 yah your doing it again, mats that can be got from ranked, to make augs>>> Remove thos mats from ranked, there are to many people in wz and ranked that dont give **** about anything other then cxp or those mats as it is Yes remove them.. but you will waiting in your dead que. Do you think anyone has any real reason to play ranked ? How many do you think would que for it if there is nothing to be gained. ? Sorry but your are deluding yourself. People need a reason to que for certain activities.. MATS is a good enough reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellarcrusade Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Yes remove them.. but you will waiting in your dead que. Do you think anyone has any real reason to play ranked ?

Yes, this is correct. And to add to that, isn't the whole point of ranked for 95% of ranked players to beat up on a worthless unskilled team? Yeah, there are a few real pvpers that enjoy a challenge but typically MMO PvP is all about the faceroll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tahana Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Yes, this. Also, will the schematics drop at all in the other versions of the flashpoint (solo, veteran)? As an FYI Eric answered this with his Vullk interview.. Master mode FP with a 'possibility' of the last boss in Vet mode (maybe).. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=947333 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first they will be expensive, but as more people get them and not need them, the more will appear on the GTN. Give it a few weeks/months and there will be so many cheap ones, that people will wonder why this was ever an issue. I think the biggest challenge will be getting the mats. This is much more difficult or time consuming than getting a schematic. Edited April 7, 2018 by TrixxieTriss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry that I didn't detail it out, but the purpose of the post was to point out that he did indeed state that the drops were from MM almost exclusively. In fact he wasn't sure that it would even drop from vet mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrixxieTriss Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 (edited) I'm getting tired of new augments being added to the game. I already spent hundreds of millions of credits on 236 augments for all my toons and now you're adding even better augments. Oh and these new augments won't even help me because my tank and fury marauder is getting nerfed anyway. So I'm going to have to spend another half a billion credits just to do the same numbers. Nice. Fury Mara damage isn’t being nerfed (you can’t count Bloody Slashes because no one in their right mind uses it to do any real damage). So I don’t see how you wouldn’t do the same amount of damage. The chnage is to Ruthless Agressor and it’s minor and needed.

Voyletra Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Maybe make the old ones able to be reversed engineered to be able to get back some of the millions invested in those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illbeitsoon Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Hey Eric, I've got an idea, what if instead of constantly upgrading augments, we started upgrading our crystals instead? seeing as how that is item rating 136 (or whatever), we could improve the crystals to 236, 240, or even 248? Maybe even make them different types: +x amount of endurance, or +x amount of shield, or +x amount of alacrity ...you get the idea. This would give the player base even more opportunity for customizing their toons, and possibly adjust for hm or nim content, or ranked pvp. We haven't seen an increase to crystals, in a while - just thought that could be another option instead of augments... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven't seen an increase to crystals, in a while - just thought that could be another option instead of augments... The problem with that is twofold: One, it will effect the usefulness of Cartel Market crystals. Two: it requires a rebalance of all the crafted crystals. Back in the day, the crystals you could make via Artifice had lower stats, then bioware adjusted them all to match CM gear. If they allow you to find/pick up new crystals, Cartel Market Item fans will riot. If they rebalance everything, then all we're doing is padding numbers for everyone as early as day 1. As for Adding new types, I'd be happy with that. Going for a machine gun sniper build and stacking more alacrity could be fun, as would getting +shield for my tanks. But making the stat values bigger could cause issues. Edited April 12, 2018 by Shuragel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueWanderer Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Did people ask about mats? The new augs will probably cost 2x in mats of the 236 ones (based on past experience where they always just double the cost of things)... Everyone I know has way to many encrypted memories and not enough charged matters. The GTN on star forge has charged matter at 1.7 mil(ish) and encr memos are under 200k, so it seems everyone has a shortage of charged matters. You could fix the drop rates, or you could make the schems cost more encr mems and fewer charged matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
