Then I guess you will not be taking that break because you don't have to do anything.

Why is that? The only thing that your gear actually matters for is HM Ops.

I hear yah. I am sorry, until I recover all the comps I had under certain classes, I am keeping most from entering KOTFE. If I work to get a companion to level 50 influence, which is damned expensive, I am not throwing them away and starting all over.

Only my main has run through KOTFE. I may end up waiting until the end of summer before deciding what to do with the rest. I am still working on stories with them.

I definitely want to run the entire KOTFE expansion again when all completed. My free 60 may be held in reserve for just that.

Exactly. Down leveling made sure of that.

Crafting 208 is a very minor adjustment with how down leveling works.
And if you are doing SM and HM OPS, Crafting is pretty much not important other than to make some money selling to those that don't run them.

Decent change and adjustment but not really what this game needed.

I can only hope thats not what BW is doing. Forcing everyone to run that story more than a couple times is some screwed up design if they do try and do that. Talk about pissing people off. Let them do that.

SO, if the new materials will be KotFE specific, just where will they be located? Because I don't think there was a Daily area in KotFE or announced? Or are they going to re-purpose Ziost? Or it will be a part of Star Fortress thinggie?

If there was anything positive about Yavin, it was that the mats for stims/augments/nades were made plentiful enough to make crafting for self headaches free. As opposute to how the level 6 used to be.

You should see this other mmorpg. Regearing every 3-4 months. On top of that, every six months a new super op class is released. You guess it right. It's that game called Tera.
So, BioWARE is right behind the industry leader in creating calamities? That's a reason to celebrate?
Deal.

Funny that you say "bro" to a woman.



Anyway, I hate regearing nowadays - because my storage space is full.

Or is this a move by Bioware to force us to sell equipment that never comes back so that they can re-release it as Cartel Market items ?

What's next?! Oh, I know! Going to level 70, by scaling back the power of each character to slightly below where they were at 65 with a Utility point... wait for it!!! Every TWELVE levels, not TEN!

Way to go, BioWARE! That's the kind of new content we all were clamoring for here!

Two regearing a year is not ENOUGH! IT gotta be 3 or better even - 5! With every new 30 min chapter!

That takes the cake. Absolutely.
Really this is such a minor thing to complain about in the scope of the issues at hand. Money is easy to come by and it's easy to craft. Heck I'll buy you a set of augs and MK kits just to quell the qq.

There should be a new higher tier of gear for Eternal Championship. Starting at the low encounter, you would get 224 then ascending up since getting 224 now is ridiculously easy.

Unless you're psychic, you haven't considered all the possibilities here.
