Grendel_Echo Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 (edited) I wonder why did I spent credits on Legacy of Crafting I+II+III to get extra 3% chance of an augmented result, if now game takes away this empty augment slot when listing crafted items to GTN? Is it new or old issue? Even without connecting this to Legacy Crafting it seems illogical at least.

Silicon_Dragon Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Per text posted regarding Test server changes, I think this is not a bug, just a really, really bad game design. You can view this as yet another crafting nerf where we work for a spc'l feature, sometimes pay for for it, then it gets taken away w/o any compensation or exchange of a comparable feature. It's almost like whoever's driving this bus has a big hate-on with crafting, go figure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkestmonty Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Not a bug. The new GTN can't differentiate between items with unique stats so all augment slots are lost. I hope this changes but it would not shock me if this was permanent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grendel_Echo Posted December 7, 2023 Author Share Posted December 7, 2023 How this is not a bug? Seems like another reason to avoid using sales via GTN, but rather by WTS option, while in a same time avoiding taxes. By selling with direct emailing I bet the item will not loose it's precious augment slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently you (and many others) weren't paying attention when this change was announced and available for review on the PTS. Yes, you should be able to trade crafted items with augment slots between players or via in-game mail COD without losing the augmentation slot. However the game will still assess a transaction fee even if you use one of these methods.

These are primarily world drops from leveling up to 70. These will continue to be tradable and marketable versions of their appearances will eventually be made available in game wherever they are not currently. Similarly in the case of Crafted Augmented Gear, we will still allow the gear to be sold but the Augmentation Slot will be removed. We will warn you in this case before you list the item Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LD_Little_Dragon Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 I just take it as pretty much confirmation that crafting max level items (besides augments) is never coming back. I figure the odds are pretty good that if we get a new augment tier they will not be craftable but in-game purchases only. Crafting is essentially dead.
