Jephryp Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 With all the gear upgrading we are doing, it would be very nice to be able to remove the MK-11 kits from gear before upgrading a piece of gear. I've augmented green 326 gear at the beginning of the evening only to get a blue upgrade (or, God forbid, a purple LOL) and needed to augment it again in the span of a few hours. MK-11s are spendy! Even though I can make them myself, it is still a pain to NOT be able to remove them from gear. I'd gladly pay credits to remove them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEMattonelli Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Yes yes yes yes! It is expensive to buy the Mk-11 augment kits and difficult to farm the materials needed to craft them. With all the changes in gearing, please let us keep our MK-11 kits along with our augments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chryptyk Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 (edited) i think crafting recipes need to be adjusted. I've always thought that making things to destroy them to harvest parts to make aug kits is extremely dumb. On a larger scale though, the 6.x crafting system needed sooooo many mats that it was ridiculous. Fast forward to now and there just aren't enough mats available in the quantities we need to craft in bulk. In addition, with the changes to cq and gear, we can't easily obtain some of the mats anymore. With the exodus of a lot of people, the availability of mats on the gtn has gone way down.

Lars_Ariva Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 This thread is near and dear to my heart. The game has become a gear grind and having and getting the most from endgame gear does require the use of augments. Presently, the augments can be removed from gear for a cost, but the expensive MK-11 Augmentation kits get destroyed in upgrades. MK-11 Aug kits are expensive to buy on GTN and expensive to produce. I am not a fan of the current crafting system that requires that you create multiple subassemblies in hierarchical succession in order to get to one upper-level item. Because of this and the scarcity of materials for crafting in the upper tier, upper tier items are excessively expensive. Fewer people are crafting or care to craft because of the trouble in even reaching upper tier crafting. Since a crafting update is not on the horizon, Bioware, how about allowing us to remove the augments for a fee and reuse them on another piece of gear.

JediQuaker Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 It's amusing how we have threads where people insist that we need more credit sinks to fight inflation, while we also have threads by people complaining about spending credits. 😇 Most people figured out a long time ago not to augment your gear too early. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buying kits from players is just transferring credits that were already created, not creating more. If there was a fee to remove them....credits out of the system = credit sink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inyahin Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 I have not augmented any gear since 7.0; i refused to until i could get mods to put into adaptive armour shells again. Now we have mods and adaptive armour the augments go back on; because i only need to do it once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveTheCynic Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Buying kits from players is just transferring credits that were already created, not creating more. Buying them from the GTN is an 8% credit sink every time someone buys one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who cares if it's adaptive? (Adaptive is a weight class, not a synonym for "moddable".) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
