BountyHuntertwo Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Does anyone else feel the bolstering down to 70 is taking off too much in stats / output? Its felt notably more difficult in content since leveling past 70, and it doesn't make a lot of sense why BW would do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gelious Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 it doesn't make a lot of sense why BW would do that. I think it does, unfortunately. What do you think is eaisier and faster for devs to do? Change the parameters of every singe mob and their abilities everywhere in the game from level 70 to level 75, or just change the parameters of player characters from 75 to 70? Kinda makes sense, eh?

Opiklo Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 (edited) nope ... when a gunnery mando does 12k single target it cant be more difficult Edited November 6, 2019 by Opiklo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkebatt Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Some FP or Ops are not scaled to do with level synced toons. The later FPs , Train, Chiss, Nathama are tuned for higher gear so do work well with the new stats being lower. A blanket sync never works for everything as you lack the power you need and the crit/power jump you got from adrenals, buffs, and relics were needed parts of those fights. Just because you can do 12k plus does not mean you will survive. I have full 306 healers with 3206Alacrity 2400 Crit and I just can't cover the burst the bosses put out. I just don't have the power to keep them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iymurra Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 The high-ilvl buffs actually raise your stats to a similar point to how we were geared in the last expansion. I for one am enjoying the return of more difficult encounters. Its been a blast getting to see old mechanics make a return from the trash heap of irrelevance they were relegated to. Bear in mind as well, this is the beginning of an expansion. Get your tacticals sorted out, learn how the new abilities affect your rotation, stop using Serendipitous/Retribution for synced content, get your set bonuses in order, optimize your i306s. Theres a lot still to do to reach where we were at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rion_Starkiller Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 (edited) I like one of the theories I heard or read. Basically that there is another tier of gear coming soon-ish, so more Veterans Edge stacks. Edited November 12, 2019 by Rion_Starkiller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexzk Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 (edited) 30th level of buf gives 1.5x about then it was with 258 before. 20k crits from tank... which all has sense - F2P players are stimulated to pay and get 75/306. As with their 258 gear they can do but worse a bit. Edited November 12, 2019 by alexzk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost makes, but not. They have F2P players which are stuck at 70/258 and which must be able to play same. Old bolster didn't work and had extra work as you said + any new tires will add more work. Instead, they all put to 70 now. Any new updates can be scaled down and F2P can use old gear with no changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RookStryfe Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 You got all this new gear and the places where you actually want to reap the benefits Warzones, Fps, Ops.... are scaled to 70 o.O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexzk Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 (edited) i hope they are balancing the game around the pay/former paying players and not f2p, it's a company after all, not a charity It was before, seems it didnt work. It was adding rebalance issues on each update. Now they can just change max level in their code, like 75 to 80 and all should go ok. At least i would do so, Basically they had to stop at 50 as old raids was 50 based. But they decided don't dig too deep. I think in future we will see this new raid scales down to 75, i.e. instead redoing all raids with new level cap it will auto scale gear to old cap set for this raid properly.
