1.2 War Hero Gear on PTS - Now requires BM gear :)

Right. So I'm not exactly following the complaints. I earn 2k WZ comms a day easy and I've yet to spend my Champ comms.

Frankly, I see no reason to get Champ gear the more I read about the changes, and I'm going to use the comms to put Kira in a full Champ gear set for PvE stuff.

I have full red gear with all advanced/master 22 mods so Champ is not a huge bump as it is.

What this tells me is that instead of wasting my comms on a Champ gear set that after 1.2 I'll be able to replace with BM in a weeks time, I can rather have my main companion in Champ gear and spend one sole week in meh gear post 1.2 and then be enjoying BM.

I'm also not upset about the way they have done War Hero. If everyone was in WZ with no gear to work toward I think they would actually give up after a bit.

I do think the pricing should come down. 125+ hours to obtain a full set of War Hero is too long. They're essentially requiring you to beat every quest in Fallout 3 twice. It's about an equivalent time sink. That's way too much if they also want their players to enjoy other aspects of the game like some PvE. As I'm not sure how one would have time to go after Rakata gear with this kind of time requirement.

Not sure what you mean here. It's going to be easier to get into BM now.

EXACTLY STOP COMPLAINING ITS EASY TO GET BM NOW. I bet this will get forgotten 3 posts down with a new QQ about getting BM gear

Awesome change - no easy gear for nothing.

Its not competitive because they want you to keep your subscription. The more gear you have to grind the longer you pay them. Simple as that.

Hah people can pvp for a week and get the whole BM set. Im sure this is going to be a HUGE deal though as this is the pvp forum and all. ZOMG IM SOOOO MAD BRO!! IM UNSUBBING 5 TIMES AT LEAST!!!!!!!!!!!

champ is still better than recruit simply because the recruit stats are way lower.


BM gear will be really fast to get after the patch assuming they don't change the commendations per match we're currently getting. The daily/weeklies will also give WZ commendations.


Also you can trade merc for wz 1 to 1 after the patch so save up 1k/1k now and you can have 2k commendations to buy 2-3 BM pieces as soon as the patch hits.


People who play a lot will get a full BM set in under 2 weeks.

Thank you! We all should know this by now. Most of us come from other MMO's. They only way the game gets better is if people keep playing. This generates money for the game. They need to keep us on the treadmill so that they can keep making the game better and keep us on the treadmill. It's the circle of life for a MMO. We knew this getting into it. Anyone who didn't is either brand new at gaming or naive.

Granted now this should have all been done at release, but it wasn't. So it is what it is. We can either choose to adapt and enjoy the game or come here and whine and cry or leave the game.

I'm confused. I may have missed something, but I thought they said WH gear was not an upgrade in stats than BM...

Did that change?

So I need to trade in my BM set for the new WH... well that sucks i had planned on mod swapping since i like bm style better for juggernaut, guess ill need to grind 2 sets again lol
