All you have to do is add or take out augments from

 

ear

implants

bracers

 

or put back in

even lvl 1 augments work

 

you get 15% boosted stats with no loss on anything.

 

Bioware please fix this asap

Does this work if you enter the warzone with empty aug slots too or do you have to take them out in the warzone when the bolster has been applied? Edited April 24, 2013 by MidichIorian

A question phrased like that sounds like someone wants to take advantage of a PvP exploit. This is why I advise bugs that are found, should be submitted through bug reports---not posted for others to read and take advantage of it.

 

Posting them here, may get the Dev attention, however it also will backfire ending up in more people taking advantage of the system. There are better ways of going about it IMO.

If its not posted and abused by damn near everybody (at least enough people that more than a few people notice it) the devs dont seem to give a crap.

on the contrary, they should be publicized so that everyone does it and is, thus, on the same footing as everyone else.

I asked in the name of science, damn it.

 

On a more serious note, I didnt even exploit the naked bug. I've had full gear on in every game since early release.

This explains a lot to me. Thanks for posting, and I really hope the Devs, Eric, hell anyone at BW sees this and fixes it. Edited April 24, 2013 by Philastra

You may be right, and "cats out of the bag" so I may as well give in. As much as I feel this will have very negative side effects UNTIL it is fixed, I'll happily oblige

Long story short, Bioware needs to fix this. From what I've been told it's even worse the better your gear and augments get despite how expensive it is to do this. I've sent bug reports on it, but not sure when/if a fix is in sight. But screenshots were requested. Here they are!

Thanks for screens I know its a weird argument if its worth letting EVERYONE know how to do something versus keeping it hush and making it scarce but this is kind of a big issue and if its scarce Im afraid the coders wouldnt bother with a quick fix so the people who did know would have a huge advantage for a long time. Id rather things sucked for a week or so than hope Im not in a match with people abusing 'bugs' for months.... Edited April 25, 2013 by Resiel

I removed a few augments prior to a WZ my stats were 716 bonus primary dmg 2600 main stat and 28k HP ( full PvP geared sniper 2018 expertise ) once i got into the WZ i placed the augments i removed and got 900 primary bonus dmg 3k main stat and 33k HP. Messed up it is.....

Well, that's one approach. lol. But then it effectively becomes "pay to win" since it would get expensive. I'd prefer BW fix their crap, but I'm beyond exasperation at this point... and pretty much beyond caring anymore, sadly.

yea, same here .. gear gap is crazy now!

yeah. don't get me wrong. the fail of this 2.0 bolster implementation is epic. first choice is fix it. but since fixing things either doesn't work, breaks something else, or only happens ever 4-6 months, we might as well share the knowledge.

I'm sorta surprised Alex or Eric had no comment on this today, its a pretty big blunder.

Maybe it is just me. The people that play more and spend the time to either have WH gear, augments, or whatever should have the rewards of it. Otherwise why play. Naked bolster PVP should have never made it out of beta. That was a huge fail. Then this fail two weeks later. So the best question is what is next?

 

Just wondering, what do you want them to say?

As exploits go this isn't really that bad as the cost of extracting augs exceeds the credit gain from completing the warzone

Played with this, and yep, you are right.

Except you can use mk-1augments and get the same effect for nearly zero credits to remove them

As exploits go this isn't really that bad as the cost of extracting augs exceeds the credit gain from completing the warzone

 

what if i told you I can reproduce it with lvl 9 augments, mk-3 kits, and achieve a 12k crit...all for the cost of....35 credits per extract!

 

 

the photos above was an example. the augment glitch is TERRIBLE as I hit consecutive 11k crits and a COMMANDO (won't give the name as it breaches ToS) hit a 12.8k crit in huttball. this glitch is HORRIBLE and needs to be fixed. For reference this glitch has ruined ranked warzones as a certain guild is running 8 man premades usitlizing the WORST variation/combination of the augment glitch which i REFUSE to divulge here. It's worse than I even initially thought it was and is definately GAME BREAKING. Bolster needs to go as it brought with it more problems than the balances it "claims" to have brought into the game.

 

also for LOLs. It costs 35 credits * 14 slots= 490 credits---> DEFINATELY EXPENSIVE RIGHT?
