  1. Yes, this does particularly hurt especially for those who run less Operations, and also hurts a lot for those who are more focused on Story Missions / Daily Area's for Reputation. And yes they've completely eliminated Credit's from the Galactic Season Unlocks!
  2. Exactly this, usually before defeating Stong, Elite, or Champions on all Planet's would grow an increasing chance of 324 Gear dropping. Also you could vendor stuff you didn't like for Credit's, now disposing of this is just annoying! They should have put this in Planetary Social Vendors / Specialty Goods, or a new Vendor for Antiquities. Still the biggest issue is the noticable reduction in Tech Frag's, Jawa Junk, as well as Conquest Commendations! Previously you'd (on average) earn 4 to 8 every 30 minutes or so... ...depending how many Strong, Elite, or Champions you defeat. Now you only get a remote chance, and it's mostly only excluve to Champions! From a single 336 & 324 piece you earn this: So you'd earn about 2.5x this every 30 minutes, possibly more if you focused on Heroic Area's! Agree, remember the OP said, "I have no idea who's idea this was, but perhaps they should consider another line of work." I also took their meaning, that they supported that statement as well. *sigh*
  3. Don't give up they think, [Daily] & [Weekly] give you 8 per week, whereas before you'd earn 4 to 8 in about 30 minutes from fighting Strong, Elite, or Champions. Still your right, this is very disappointing! The issue is mostly the reduced Deconstruction (2nd paragraph) below. Often you need 1 Tactical for each Discipline, and increases if you Single Target / AoE focused or both; not to mention if you have a Healing or Tank Spec too! This also doesn't include various Legendary Implant's you need for your build... Don't know cause Outfitter doesn't recognize the quality, just the outfit it saves to your appearance. And unless you find a real nice piece you like, 97% of it or you'll likely to spend far more time to discard it for nothing! The bigger loss however is all the 324 Gear that you used to be able to deconstruct, growing in chance from Strong, Elite, or Champion Enemies on all Planets. This is only one 336 piece, and another 324: -- Once every 30 minutes on average, you'd get 2.5x this amount from Deconstruction. So now they are trying to drive people to fully complete Daily Area's completing each requirement just to earn 1 piece, or more exclusively focus on Flashpoints &/or Operations to earn at least 3 every run, plus any Daily or Weeklys there. *sigh*
  4. I had also suggested they move good & better sets to Social Vendor's at Planetary Cantina's, or Specialty Good's Vendor's, or at the very least create a Planetary Antiquities Vendor for Outfitter only gear without mod's! Yea prior to 7.4.1 dropping you'd earn 4 to 8 (max) pieces of 324 Gear; doing all 9 [Daily] Missions in Kessan's Landing, + at least 2 [Heroic] Missions. It more often dropped from Strong NPC's, Elite or Champion Level increased the chance of them dropping. This was in addition to what you got doing the Kessan's [Daily] & [Weekly] Missions. Yet 324 gear dropping was true on all planets from stronger NPC's. And in other area's (depending on Level of Planet) if you didn't like Armor, at least you could Sell Armor for Credits if you didn't like it, or Save for Outfitter if you did. Then in 7.4.1 the Outfitter stuff dropped all the time, yet they stopped all 324 dropping from Stronger Enemy. -- Need to replace the 4 to 8 (324) drops we could deconstruct, every 30 minutes! -- That was on every planet from Strong, Elite, & Champion enemies. So since 7.4.1a now your extremely lucky, if all you get is but 1 Rating 8, Rating 12, or Rating 14 outfitter from Strong, Elite, or Champion Enemy even on Kessan's Landing; yet it's your hardest Daily Area doing all 9 [Daily] Missions. Doing the 2 [Heroic2] I got 2 more Rating 8 & 1 Rating 14 to just throw away. So now there's only the 1 Daily & Weekly Missions Missions; so now it's only 8 deconstructable Gear per week per planet. That's a large reduction in 324 gear that drops for Frag's, Jawa Junk, or Conquest Commendations! Very disappointed in that lost deconstruction, because for character's who have all their Tactical's it may seem alright at first... Yet for those who don't, it's often 2 for both Single Target Combat's Style's, then 2 more for AoE Combat Style's, and that doesn't include if you have a Tank &/or Healer as well. This also doesn't include all the Implants you may require. So those people likely notice later when it takes longer to upgrade Implants as that continues to increase over time! *sigh* 💙heart's grow sad!
  5. @EricMusco While Events / Activites for Reputations should repeat; which Seasons do not as stated. Still if your going to nerf Reputation CQ quite largely, it's been that way for a long time, then offer something in it's place! Here's at least one example to give a positive sign, or find something else without a II objective, and offer something in it's place: NOTE: (showing a 150% Stronghold Bonus) as one example... Companion: Influencer (requires 1 level) to earn 18,090 CQ. Companion: Influencer II (requires 2 additional levels) to earn 27,125 CQ. First challenge you've taken out all Gear being sold for Credit's! Still an even a larger problem is the wipeout of 324 Gear that drop's while on all planets; from Strong, Elite, or Champion NPC we used to receive! We could typically see 4 to 8 of the 324 drops every 30 minutes, possibly more if mostly hunting Elite &/or Champions! That hurts more than anything, while Blue Print Fragments are a small makeup for Credit's lost, they don't offer anything for all the missing Tech Frag's, Jawa Junk, or Conquest Commendations; and your reward is spend 3x longer to throw it away, except in rare case you use it for outfitter. -- Planets aren't offering 324 Drops... from Strong, Elite, or Champion Enemy no longer! Second challenge is new Seasons aren't adding Companions any longer! People liked these Galactic Season Companions more, cause you could still use them to earn currencies while the season on, and also while it's over. -- To earn B.P.F. without GS objectives, you often have to desummon companions to earn more! -- Drops don't offer Credit & Tech Frag's, & Gear takes 5x to longer to discard! Move special discontinued gear sets to Planetary Social Vendor's at Catina, or to Specialty Good's Vendor's still with mods, maybe introduce Planetary Antiquities Vendor's for all other outfitter only sets at more affordable rates! The first two would be an appropriate credit sink, without changing drops! Then offer Credit's &/or Tech Frag's for Blue Print Fragments, or revert to how gear dropped before 7.4.1 launched. Those are my thoughts!
  6. Similar themes here: Stop filling us up - Suggestion Box - SWTOR | Forums Armor Pieces from Lockbox and Planetary Chests Now Have No Value - Suggestion Box - SWTOR | Forums *sigh* Really poorly thought out... they should have left this alone, most want a bit more regular content not less. This change also gives far less reason to be doing things on several planets too. While the Date Night thing is cute, it's over so incredibly quick, they should have put more time into content or new Daily area's.
  7. Yes, that's exactly what I was starting to think as well, and same with many others I've spoken to over the last few hours... Hense I updated the quote above!
  8. Yes I agree, with your statement! 😢 They should have moved a few of those older sets into Planetary Social Vendor's at the Catina, or Planetary Specialty Good's Vendor's, or introduced a Planetary Antiquities Vendor's for the vast majority of retired items (shown here): as those are Legacy Bound! 💗 Now we just mostly get stuff we don't want or even need, and don't even get bread crumbs for hours of play time.
  9. I've probably thrown out 40 or 50 items in just the last 2 days, and now spending considerable time just throwing this all out! They really should have done this: 💙heart's get filled with love, and reenergized... Planetary Social Vendor's: for a few Good Sets, Prototype Quality with mods similar to other Social Items. Planetary Specialty Good's Vendor's: for a few Great Sets, Legendary Quality with mods yet more expensive. Or Introduce something new, a Planetary Antiquities Vendor's : for all others sets, without mod's that affordable... Then we are given choice, and aren't waisting time mostly throwing these away. You want to make it fun to play, not disenchanting! 🧐 Note: Previously, all Strong, Elite, or Champion NPC's had a growing chance to drop 324 Armor for deconstruction! @CommunityTeam UPDATE: Most are very unhappy, there's far less gear your now able to Deconstruct for Tech Frag's, Jawa Junk & Conquest Commendations! -- You use to earn about 4 to 8 piece of 324 Gear for deconstruction every 30 minutes, that's a sizeable reduction, now we get nothing! -- Let alone the reduction in Credits from Armor, now takes 3x longer to throw out. Now many rather see this change undone!
  10. I agree with that in part, yet expanding this out to just 8 or 9 as I showed in Graphic above; should likely be within their capabilities. -- not to mention (most) would love having just 1-2 extra Legacy & Cargo Bay slots. -- even with the far higher credit sink it likely require for a 8th & 9th Bay, many might even forgo Credit's and use CC too! Still a valid point never-the-less...
  11. I said before in this thread, and also here: Free transfurs to shae vizla - Suggestion Box - SWTOR | Forums I believe they should have done a lot better job planning & communicating this!
  12. I've also said at least once in Shae Vizla thread, the least they should do: F2P players given 1 Free Transfer. Preferred given 2 Free Transfer's, regardless of Subscription Status. All Subscriber's given 4 Free Transfer's, provided they didn't quality for the 16. Others have said similar things... they aren't treating people fairly, given the announcement of 90 days subscription was on Jan 19th, and then the Feb 12th revision they made was dated well before that on Jan 2nd, 2024. *sigh* Very uncool...
  13. I know, and I never said that... So if your reoccuring subscription time ends because you cancelled it, then you must be vigiliant to renew it within hours. Note: It's the date change EA / Broadsword recognizes. Though usually they give a few hours, as it's the date change EA / Broadsword recognizes. Best though if your worried to buy the (Billed Once) option that immediately adds 60 Days to your account. *sigh*
  14. Try these: https://linuxtldr.com/installing-authenticator-2fa-app/ OR The Best Authenticator Apps for Linux Desktop - Make Tech Easier Linux has a new authenticator app, and it's easy enough for anyone to use | TechRepublic
  15. Yes that is exactly how it works... ...you just got to be vigiliant to always renew prior to the Date changing, or letting too much time pass before the Date change! Note: It's the date change EA / Broadsword recognizes. Best though if your worried to buy the (Billed Once) option that immediately adds 60 Day's to your account. *sigh*
