60k repair bill!

Anyone racking up 60K in repair bills during a single FP ~ needs to do some dailies, just for the practice.

Anyone who doesnt read a thread shouldnt reply to it.

I use Legacy gear. Two pieces are rated 140(mods from Rakata gear) 3 are rated at 136 and the rest are 126. Weapon is 136 and generator is 126. again the repair cost came from only 4 wipes. Gear wasnt even red.

From what some of the other reports are saying the legacy gear has had the biggest jump in repair costs, massive really. Low-level orange shells seem to be slightly more reasonable in repair costs. It's in no way a good option, because they should fix this, but if you're going to be running, it might be worth it to shift your mods over to a different shell till this gets fixed.

Or people who are tooooooo narrow minded to not realize that lower repair costs are good everyone actually playing the game.

Folks... this is a game. You should be playing to have fun. If you have to allocate any substantial portion of your time within the game to do activities that you hate/dislike ( aka dailys for some)... you are doing it wrong. Now, there are some out there ( many in this forums) who feel the game is also an avenue for personal growth, an expression of a super-self that is helps them deal with/ignore their real self, an unequivocal expression of political and moral values as well as character markings... OMG. Get a life.

This repair cost increase, as minute as it maybe for some, doesn't help anyone. Why would you come here and take any other stance.... unless you just like to troll/ argue for the sake of doing so or you are financially benefiting from making such posts in some way...

Then this is a massive issue since customizing your character to look the way you want to look shouldn't be a penalty. The social and legacy armor was a large selling point in the game and yet I should suffer financially because I dont want to look like a clone of every other player in my class. Simple solution is to cancel my sub until this is fixed. I'm not going to fork over money to a poorly managed game company.

I agree that it does penalize customizing your character. I won't be cancelling my sub, but I understand why people are. It's the last straw for a lot of people.

I just think at this point, this company will not listen or respond until they feel the effect on their wallet.

Are people not understanding the issue here ??
What part of this is a game not a job don't you guys like this poster don't understand ?? Certain people might not have a problem with daily grind (like me) but many do, and what better way to burn someone out than repetition , without cause for pause?? This not the way to go about making credit sinks...EA has destroyed that option with a poorly implemented cash shop, so now they take it out on repairs?? And for the record ..I can afford it..as I stated I don't mind the grind, but I feel for everyone else that hates being forced to do this.

I have read your thread, starting with the OP. It's either a troll thread or you believe that you've "paid enough credits" to be able to waltz through a HM.

I wouldn't say that I am a hardcore player. I wipe quite frequently. In fact I wipe on purpose just to travel to a med center if my QT is on CD. I pay repair bills everytime I see a vender. I've actually incurred repair bills just walking between two venders ~ without ever wiping or entering combat. And I've wiped a great many times while showing new players the ropes in HM FPs.

Where I don't wipe is in HM FPs while grouped with 3 players who have the free Tionese gear and actually know the boss fight mechanics.

If a "few" wipes are costing you 60K there are a limited number of possibilities.
1. You are in super expensive gear & wiping on content that you are grossly overgeared for.
~ or ~
2. You are wiping a LOT more than a "few" times, on content that you don't have the skill or knowledge for.
~ or ~
3. You are waiting to repair your gear until pieces fall off, which is the product of a lot more than a "few" wipes.
~ or ~
4. You and your group mates are ignoring the fight mechanics and expecting your gear to let you faceroll a boss.

If you like to wipe ~ by all means wipe away!
Otherwise...do some dailies until your bank/gear/ & skill are up to where you're not causing 3 other players to wipe in a FP and getting yourself blocked/ votekicked/ or gkicked.

Are you paying the repair bills for those other 3 players as well? For some reason I highly doubt it.

You don't do the dailies for the credits ~ you do them for the practice, warmup, & the comms. Credits are just a byproduct.

If you were not trying to short circuit the gear progression by jumping straight from the free Tionese to BH gear & skipping the dailies you might have noticed that some pieces of BH gear are a questionable upgrade. You would also be sitting on a fat wad of credits from the dailies. And you would have also learned by now that skill>gear in any of the Tier I HM FPs.

~EDIT~ You're complaining that your legacy gear cost too much to repair? Well NO kidding. You burned all your credits buying modable legacy gear! Where did you get the credits to blow on that?
