I'm willing to make sacrifices to get out of the horrible looking BH pvp armour.

Kinda sucks. I like how my character look, but I was very eager to see new appearances in WZs.
Yeah I actually like the look of the BM Bounty Hunter Ware Hero gear. I was stoked honestly. Just sucks now without the set bonus, especially as a Bodyguard healer. We were hella nerfed this path, which made burst healing harder to do. Healing is a total different story in 1.2, so the set bonus is pretty substantial to not have, especially on your fastest cast heal.

But now, they teased you with custom armour, then took it away last minute. And the only thing you can do now is grind endlessly for new War Hero gear which is ridiculously ugly, just to spend a million credits to pull all the mods out and put it into something you enjoy wearing...

all at the risk of having ALL of your armour useless again because you switched the mods around, so the next time Bioware completely revamps the system your old gear won't transfer over to the new system and you will be left with subpar crap that any level 50 can have for a few hundred thousand credits.

Fun!
I feel exactly the same way. I got every single piece of gear/valor the hard way (i.e. playing thru **** gear status and getting valor from 2-3 hour ilum runs getting outnumbered by imps in our base) and now it's all down the drain.

They should've stuck to the old system of BM gear requiring BM valor and WH gear requiring WH gear. The previous patch made it so easy to get valor most people levelled to 50 and had rank 50 valor on ding.

Not sure if this is accurate or not, but looks like this could be a bug and a possible fix is inc. This would be nice if it happens to be true. Not sure why the communications person with Bioware said otherwise. Here is the twitter link that another forum member posted.

If the INTENTION was to allow all set bonnuses on existing gear to actually transfer, then I'm a happy camper on this again.

Even if it takes them X days to figure it out/hotfix it. I can wait.

Scratch that. I just read a twitter from an hour ago and it said that it is only to apply to new armor pieces. Bioware employees need to get on the same page. here is the twitter link.

The last post on the issue leads me to believe they think it works as intended. Think I've honestly had enough from this game. They can keep the free month.
