merovejec Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 How will this affect achievements for sets? Good question! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesseriah Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 (edited) Will there be a chance that old animations like Master Strike is coming back with these legendaries, since its our own choice what leggo we will use, or is this only set bonus related?

TheVoyant Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 (edited) I'll be honest I like the idea if its not another misdirection with some sort of EA ordered mind trickery.... However as I noted in suggestions allow people to trade in hard to acquire set bonuses for said such items. Absolutely no one wants to regrind for a clone of Apex, Endless Offensive, etc. Would 100% love to switch out the 4 piece bonus and keep the 6 piece part of Apex so that would be cool. Also given that we had 3 bonuses in most sets and two items. Does this mean we're all losing those alacrity/mastery/endurance boosts? Or will those be applied as 1% bonuses on weapons or something (ok with that as a change) I like the idea personally, as long as its not a crazy rng exploit meant to force a grind. As that's a very short sighted way to lose players not extend their length of playtime. This is one of the first 7.0 things that actually seems like it might be a good thing. Bad outweighs the good by far right now, but gotta put positive constructive feedback when it's deserved.

Galbsadi Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 So how long before these "Legendary Items" get Deactivated and "Are Forced" into the next round of very expensive vendor trash..... I'd wager approximately 2.25 years. Plenty of time to get some use out of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galbsadi Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 How will this affect achievements for sets? Most likely, based on what's happened with prior systems that went away (like Galactic Seasons), if you have the achievement, you keep it. If you don't, it's no longer obtainable. Same thing for renown levels, I expect, as well (so I'm currently farming up all the legacy titles for that). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aberd Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 I like the ability to mix/match bonuses. However, it comes at the cost of one bonus; where as with the current set bonuses players get up to 3 bonuses. But being limited to just 2 items, is again tying one hand behind the players' backs. Also, with the bonus being tied to implants and ear pieces, implementation of this is 2-piece limit is going to be difficult for BW I'm sure. My advice to BW would be to let us have up to 3 legendary items and bonuses. My recommendation would be to limit the Ear piece to +5% Endurance/Mastery/Shield/Alacrity/etc. Put other ability bonuses on the implants. This keeps the players with 3 bonuses and makes BW programming so munch more simpler and hopefully fewer bugs. Because we all know BW never changes something without introducing a host of bugs. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exly Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Can you please provide us with a list including available items, and where they will drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robwettengel Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 I just want to add to the chorus of those expressing concern that this change will nullify the 50% XP boost for the Victorious Pioneer's armor set. However, if this means the set is broken, and it cannot be fixed quickly enough, this can be easily remedied by offering Victorious Pioneer's Legendary Items. The VP Legendary items could be a two-piece set with each one offering a 25% xp boost. Those of us who earned the set back during DvL should, of course, get these two items as in-game mail. I am very interested in seeing just how we'll be able to level up these pieces in terms of cost and how easily needed mats or tokens will be to obtain. For those of us who have obtained gear sets or individual pieces, selling them to vendors should result in receiving some of these tokens/components--I'm not asking for a 1:1 trade, with us being able to immediately get the corresponding Legendary Items, but say at least 25% of what's needed. Is that reasonable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImmortalLowlife Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Does this mean we won't be able to use DvL XP armor to level from 75-80? This is a question I have concerns about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strathkin Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 (edited) I like the Victor's SET bonus on many Jedi, the 2, 4 and 6 piece SET bonus likely be desirable for many. There are several other SETs from Concentrated Fire 2/4/6, Established Foothold 2/4/6, Meteor Brawler 2/4/6 that also GREAT. They also likely want to FOCUS first on at least 2-3 Healing SETs that work for various class based on Combat Style, as well as 2-3 Tank SETs based on Combat Style as well. While there are some more desirable Assault SETs that also highly desirable for Jedi & Sith, similar to Apex Predator for Trooper's. I could see those being introduced a bit later? But can't really say, just wished the OLD SETs at least carry you thru to 75-79! QUESTION IS Will new GEAR sets have at least a choice of 1 SET bonus that requires all 7 pieces to enable? All we really know is old SETs 2/4/6 bonus being moved to Earpiece, and at most 1 Implants that can be Legendary. Is that limited only to the Earpiece, and just the 1st Implant slot to enable the bonus? I like the ability to mix/match bonuses. However, it comes at the cost of one bonus... Also, with the bonus being tied to implants and ear pieces, implementation of this is 2-piece limit is going to be difficult for BW I'm sure. My advice to BW would be to let us have up to 3 legendary items and bonuses. All I can HOPE, is they move 1 SET bonus into Armor that requires all 7 pieces perhaps? I agree, it's also a bit concerning! ────── Also HOPEFUL they allow removing of Class limitations for OLD sets, to be used as Outfit's on all classes so it's a reason to KEEP 1 of each SET in Legacy Bank.

JattaGin Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Dear BW-people, why can't you make one extensive article about 7.0 as a whole? I don't like all the small tidbits that are getting announced. It feels to me like you're just making things up along the way without a consistent plan. WHAT EXACTLY IS YOUR FULL PLAN WITH 7.0, Mr. Kanneg? What are you trying to achieve with all those many BIG changes which pretty much nobody had requested? There are some good things in it, sure, but the overall cost is too high for me. Nothing about 7.0 entices me. Nothing. I dread the update. That ain't a good outlook for my future as a player. 7.0 doesn't appeal to me at all from what I learned so far through your short tidbits and the very unsatisfying PTS-builds. That's why I decided to unsubscribe after all these years. My sub ends in January. I can thus still play the new story fully for a couple of weeks. I lost all my motivation to continue helping to fund this game due to the direction this game is taking. I will continue as a preferred player. Money is not an issue. It's just that I really, really don't want to support Mr. Kanneg's vision for this game any longer. He so obviously wants me to play this game not my way. I've been on this board since 2009, and in the game since summer 2011 (beta). Continuously playing and paying since early start 2011. I was happy until Mr. Kanneg took over. Since then it has been a constant decrease in quality. It is obvious that my way of playing this game is not how Mr. Kanneg wants people to play his game. I don't think I had one positive post here during the last year. By withdrawing my financial support, I hope that my mind gets more ease regarding this game. Good luck, Mr. Kanneg.

Aaryn Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Hope those Legendary Items will hold the names of prior holders. For example Darth Revan's Chestplate or Bastila Chan's Lightsaber Not only "Legendary Chestplate" or "Boots" xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord_Malganus Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Legendary Implants with a bonus on them has already been done in the past. The entire 7.0 gearing system is just huge steps moving backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strathkin Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 (edited) So what happens to set bonus gear in 7.0? Existing in tandem? What happens to tacticals? Will we be able to have multiple active set bonuses active to create player agency similarly to what tacticals gave us, and what we would have had in 6.0 if gear sets were set to 3/6 piece bonuses instead of 4/6? I think they were foolish to take SETs out of Armor, and most we've seen in Legendary aren't always even as nice. A few class have some that perhaps are, yet still I'm surprised they didn't REVISE and take out all the 2% bonus. Then just do 3/6 piece bonus on Armor. Still perhaps having them in Legendary Implants, you might eventually get two 6 SET bonus. Yet also that Rarely makes sense to do, because if you lost the 10% bonus offered by the 2nd bonus it wouldn't make much sense. Old Armor SETs should have stayed from 75-79. Then they could have adjusted SETs for 80 Armor to be 3/6 as I'd think that encourage more to get them! People will always use outfit's for appearance anyways, not care about mixing and matching Armor as they suggested. So would have been wiser to leave Frag's IN for 80 Armor as well, even if the cost in Credit's Increased to 1.5m each and required 3,500. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ They DO what they THINK is best, even if we disagree... While Frag's will remain for 75 SETs, to acquire as outfit's. With Renown also gone just seems like they taking so much out, Loosing 2 of 3 abilities for each Class really STUNG, not to mention loss of Combat Proficiency! My only guess is we'll maybe see Galactic Season's Gear, perhaps offer Mod's in their Gear next Season, or perhaps a few MOD's to depending what our Item Level is. Still it will take far longer to grow all our TOONs as several have 10+ and many more; even if it offers a few less COINs?

SeCKSEgai Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 I completed the process to unlock the implants and was disappointed with my options. Copied several characters over with 9/10 gsf weeklies to net the necessary tech frags but I have no feasible way to earn enough coms until the conquest reset since content rewards so little of it outside the weekly. While the concept of attaching a "set bonus" to implants doesn't bother me, it should at least feel rewarding. Currently the gearing system and pruning gives a constant "put a ton of work to feel less powerful than you used to be vibe". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
