it was mentioned in the patch notes that the "reward" for regulators should be increased!

 

but i didn't get one regulator out of about 30 mission

 

and credits from boxes are still lower than the mission costs ^^

 

so i think it's still bugged

Trying to get regulators since 2.0 (and 2.0.1) has been a real exercise in frustration for me. I'll only ever have one mission capable of giving them in my list, and often none. I am using two companions with 10k affection and one has +2 slicing crit. I've managed to get 6 regulators since 2.0 by babysitting my character for 3-4 hours a day while playing alts. It does not seem like it's working correctly since in the same amount of time on another character I have gotten over 60 mytag crystals with far less micromanagement.

Its fixed. I got over 20 since Patch on One Slicer doing the Mission maybe 2 Times a day.

 

You only get them from Rich and Bountiful Mission on a Critical Success. Having Max Affection with your Companion and Level 3 Legacy Bonus increases your Critchance by alot.

 

Hope that helps

Yup, I have all these and understand how to get crits and how they work, but I'm still sitting at 6 thermals for easily over 40 missions run. If that's working as intended then perhaps it still needs a bit more tweaking.

The question I have for the two of you though is are you both getting crits on said missions and you are not getting the purples, or are you both on a real crappy streak of no crits at all?

i think i get crits, because from time to time i get some missions or blueprints in addition

but i never got any of the regulators yet

Incase you might know know this (sorry if you do), only the Sliced Tech Parts missions give Thermal Regulators, as, obviously, they're sliced tech parts.

yea, i know, but he asked for any crits with slicing missions i think^^

No, I think he meant the Sliced Tech Parts

You don't have to crit to get schematics from those missions, either.

Legacy of crafting doesn't affect crew missions I don't think. There was a dev post about this a few months ago. It increases the aug slot chance on crafted items, as well as a crit success rate to make more items, but was stated to not help crit chance of gather missions?

 

Correct?

The Legacy tooltip could be more clear - we'll look at improving it in the future. The perk itself (as noted earlier in the thread) does increase the chance of getting an augment slot on items that can have them. For items that can't, it gives you an increased chance for the effect of a critical when crafting those items (like producing an extra item).

This Legacy perk only affects crafting when you are making an item that can be crit-crafted with an augment slot for example weapons and armor.

 

Crafting of such items as item modifications are not impacted by this perk.

 

Thank you in advance!

 

Also from a dev tho! We STILL need clarification on this!!

Fixed huh? I been using scorpio with the legacy crit since patch and have gotten Zero thermal regulators. Hows that for fixed?

Either way, the rewards for slicing now are far more lower than other gathering skills, but everyone is bottle-necked by needing regulators, so they need to adjust it. I never remember Neural Augmentors being this much of a chore to acquire. It's silly.

 

The whole lockbox thing is peeving me off too. Only way to make money is to go out and farm them.

The best way to tell if you are getting a crit is to look at the amount of blue mats you are getting, not if you are getting a mission or recipe. A crit increases the amount that you get of blue pieces and should be giving you the purple pieces.

 

And yes, I do know that we are able to get purple mats, I have recieved 2 so far today and only done 3 or 4 missions.

It looks fixed to me. Ran these yesterday and collected the results. This was a good batch, 3 crits. I usually get 1-2 in a run.

 

Crit 1

 

Crit 2

 

Crit 3

 

It's definitely critting. I run the rich mission with 7 characters currently so I generate a pretty good sample size. It is not only critting, but it appears to be critting at the correct rate. I'm averaging about 18%. I sold well over 50 thermals last week and I still have a pile waiting to be sold. BTW, legacy of crafting does not affect crew skill missions, so don't expect that to help you.

 

All you have to do is scan the GTN and see how many pages of thermals are up. If this was really broken, I would expect to see very few, at sky-high prices. On The Harbinger, the price dropped in half within 2-3 days of the patch.

I agree with Cupelixx. Granted I do not have the number of characters he has but over the weekend on just one slicer character I got two crits - five total thermals.

I received about 8 since 2.0 and then after the last patch I haven't been able to get any.

I feel bad for the people with no success, but I've managed to get 35 Thermal Regulators since 2.0.1 dropped with only 2 slicing toons. I got 18 of them over last weekend. Edited April 30, 2013 by Khevar

I am not sure what is causing the issue for some people with slicing, but at least for myself I am getting quite a bit of thermal augments. I think I average 1-2 crits per 16 missions and I only run the bountiful or rich missions.

Sold over 275 last week so far myself. Yes they are a pain to get and they are rare, and I think it should be kept that way.

I actually have to agree. They already increased how many are rewarded. I put a lot of time and credits into leveling, maxing companions and maxing the skill. I am fairly well rewarded for that and I'd like it to stay that way.

Some of us are still getting zero how is that fixed?

I would say increase your affection with companions but my 2 slicing toons haven't even maxed out affection on any of their companions yet and I've received enough regulators to make a few of the tier 28 augments.

 

Like others mentioned, I like it like that. Less undercutting on the GTN if you want to sell them or the Augments you've crafted with them.

 

But back to the subject. I think it works as well as it did before.
