500k To Remove BM Mods with No Set Bonuses!

Yup, I spent $500k doing the same thing. And so did another guildie.

Why was this NOT in patch notes?








They keep trying to screw people with Battlemaster's gear.

And yet it failed to make it into the patch, which are supposed to be the definitive data on the game update at the moment it goes live. So shush.

I can tell you how frustrating and disappointing I found this. It made the whole change pointless, and pointlessly expensive no less.

That, coupled with simply bringing back the old unify color to chest piece system that we had in beta and they removed, really provides for no real customization options.

I feel like they paraded out these changes to make it seem like we would be able to do it, and weren't totally honest about it, or just completely botched the job.

For the record I like a lot of stuff the patch added, and the game over all, but this stuff was -severely- disappointing last night.

Whether that may be true or not, I was pointing out that it was stated in advance that players should not assume all set mods will carry over their set bonus, as people in this thread are stating it was never mentioned.

Fortunately for myself, I was able to make the credits back spent on the said transfers by handing in the abundance of previously useless centurian commendations I'd been harbouring for small credit cases. I don't see why others shouldn't be able to follow suite.

I can't believe some people in this thread think its incumbent upon players to read every developer post, not just on the normal forums, but on the Test Server, and every developer blog, to know the minutiae of how certain sets do transfer and certain set do not.

Most people don't read the forum AT ALL, and to expect them to is unrealistic. I my self actually do read just about every post on the dev tracker, and even those of us who do were confused by this change (which really didn't match was was said on the topic by them earlier).

I actually managed to get the bonus to transfer on gloves, but it vanished again after zoning :/

I don't know why they couldn't just update the armour mod in the old sets to allow them to transfer like the new ones though. It's not like many would need changing.

Oh well, in a few weeks no one will care anyway as they will have the new gear.

What do you expect then? Something as complex and dynamic as an mmorpg doesn't come with a handy 3 page manual. They would make one, if they could - accessability is of high value in development.

Either you try to educate yourself or you just accept to get surprised from time to time - your call.

It's not as if reading the dev tracker once a day would be too much trouble.

To clarify - Not talking to you per se, but more to the hypothetical person, reading it.^^

Gee, I don't know, if only there was a place they routinely posted important information, like notes of some sort, on what was being changed or included in a patch.

Maybe like some place all players, including ones who don't log on to the forums, would see when they first logged into the game...

It's a crazy idea, I know.
