a GOOD reason NOT to buy Cartel set armor.

Is no one getting the point on this but a few? Why does some armor bonuses transfer with mods and others do not?

Can someone, other than one person, explaiing its lazy devs (probably the truth), give a good reason why Bioware would do that?

Why NOT mention to others buying Cartel stuff that "by the way, not all end game bonuses will work for you, if you buy this Armor". I f you want the bonus, use the in game stuff only....

We get your point. Our point is, it doesn't matter. The Tionese through Rakata sets are old hat and not really worth going after these days. Especially since you can gear up in the best gear in the game so easily. You already spent the first 49 levels of the game without set bonuses anyway. Why are they suddenly so important to you? There are quite a few games where set bonuses on gear don't necessarily mean its the best gear you can equip.

Right? Set bonuses are....well bonuses, they aren't really needed so what one should look at mainly is the stats.

It depends on your class and spec. Some of the bonuses are quite good.

Yes but is it really necessary to have them? Like would you die without them? No of course not, they are helpful yes but you don't need them.

I know about that, but until we get to that point, shold we have to have limits on us until then? I think the point I was making should have been worded differently.

Why buy Cartel stuff and have to suffer at any point in the game?

I have a nice complete Armor set from Cartel, I want to play in it until I am not playing the game anymore.

However, the idea that once you get better gear, after lvl 50, unless you are willing to wear the ugly junk, you have to spend a small fortune to remove all the mods, to put them in the gear you got from Cartel and to make matters worse, you lose the match set bonuses. The Gear for my Jugg would have made him look like a robot, why in the word would I want that? Looks good on Pierce though… but he won’t be getting any set bonus because the bonus is tied to the warrior class.

My point, a MATCHED set should be a MATCHED set after lvl 50…..So, the people buying from Cartel do not get shafted on bonuses once they get to Tionese, Rakata stuff. Why are those mods not able to transfer the bonus? My wife and I are both annoyed by this, she also has Cartel Armor and feels like she should get the bonus she earned by getting to lvl 50. The Tionese Armor for her, looks like it has wings on the shoulders… lol. Like me, she pulled all the mods and armor and transferred it.

Does this hurt the game for us? Not really, but if we had to wear that ugly stuff, would have hurt immersion to a point I may have stopped playing. I see NO REASON to buy anymore set armor from Cartel, since it has a limited lifespan in the game itself.

Anyway... Others should be fully aware of this before they spend their money....

Either wear the ungly immersion killing gear, or lose the bonuses is the real only option for people like us. I know others do not care, all they care bout is having the best stats for PvP... We want to feel like we are really in the galaxy and how we look MATTERS a great deal.

^ This, but really...is it THAT big a deal to not have set bonuses in your armor? I personally just care about the stats on the mods themselves really, in which the Campaign/BH mods come with great stats and set bonuses. I care about the stats 1st and the bonuses 2nd.
