December Producer Livestream Wrap-up

The Dev team realy need to nip this in the bud by clarifying things. Is the only way to get set gear through the new unassembled drops in Ops/PvP? Or, will it still come along via RNG in crates in addition to the new way that is being implemented?

The Ops/PvP way is the more guaranteed (if convoluted) way. Everyone will still have a chance to get them from the Command Crates as well.

I believe that, too. But, I would like to see a gold post saying as much. They weren't really clear on it in the stream.

Yes, they said that on the stream.More than once, I believe.

This.

inb4 most raid nights become last boss lockouts

This suggestion is for non-PvP and non-Ops playstyles covering the following content types:

• H2s / Dailies
• Veteran / Master mode FPs
• Veteran / Master mode Uprisings
• Veteran / Master mode Chapters

Problems:

• Failing to get set pieces due to RNG
• Getting duplicate set pieces due to RNG

Suggestions:

• Allow duplicate set pieces to be exchanged for unassembled set piece components of the same tier
• Allow veteran and master mode content to have a chance to drop unassembled set piece components from the final boss
  • Veteran mode should have a very low chance (suggestion: 5%)
    • Always drops tier 1
  • Master mode should have a low chance (suggestion: 10%)
    • Always drops tier 2
• Allow command tokens to be used, along with credits, to purchase assembled set pieces
  • Tier 1 gear should be purchasable once you reach tier 2
    • command tokens + 1 million credits per piece
  • Tier 2 gear should be purchasable once you reach tier 3
    • command tokens + 2 million credits per piece
  • Tier 3 gear should be purchasable once you reach command level 300
    • command tokens + 4 million credits per piece
• Add a weekly mission for completing all planetary missions that rewards a small number of unassembled set piece components

Wouldn't adding gear tokens to operations force everyone to raid?

Please don't re-introduce chance drop for gear tokens into PvE, last time you did the same for Nightmare you had to alter your system not once, but twice and already at that point, many players had left. I hope you reconsider to ensure that all bosses drop loot in an organised and specific manner, I realize you like RNG but please understand that this is not the case with this player base.

ok so.... forgive me if its been asked or I'm getting it wrong but... are you basically saying that solo players are STILL a subject to insane rng and slow command level gain if they want upgrades? I mean.. you ARE adding all those master difficulty story chapters that ARE solo content and ARE supposed to be challenging and requiring better gear. but... you are NOT reintroducing ability to buy some sort of upgrades through vendors like you used to be able to before? you know with commendations, and then crystals.

I'm not even talking about tier gear here, just the sort of non bonus stuff you used to be able to buy with verpine commendations, or glowing crystals and such.

the fixes to the system are barely a good start.

Oh for goodness sake... Why is it so difficult for you to understand that this stupid RNG trash is never going to work? Please listen and stop insulting us by pretending. Revert to the old Comms/crystals please! that worked so well, we were rewarded for ALL the effort we put in, ALL the time! We saved up and bought EXACTLY what we needed. We had incentive to do things, to team up. Its so sad to see how far this game has fallen
