Hey folks, As we talked about a bit on the stream, there are some gearing changes happening with Knights of the Eternal Throne. For starters, I recommend you read this thread where I have provided more detail on the changes. The purpose of this thread is to go over how these changes will impact PvE and PvP gearing. Here are some more of those details: Expertise is being removed from the game. Any color crystals which have Expertise on them will be converted to a new type of color crystal � Mastery. There is no longer an Expertise requirement to get into Ranked Warzones, this will be replaced with a Valor requirement. PvE and PvP will share the same gear in Eternal Throne. Crystals and Warzone Commendations will also be phased out in Eternal Throne, we will have more details on our conversion plans in the coming weeks. That covers an overview of how the changes will impact PvP and PvE gear in Eternal Throne. Please let me know of any questions you may have and I will work with the team to get you answers. -eric

Since bosses will no longer drop gear in operations will there be lock outs on the operations?

Since valor will be the requirement for ranked, will it be changed to legacy wide or remain the way it is now?

Expertise was meant to accomplish a few things: 1. Have unique gear that balanced PvP and PvE. 2. Prevented PvE gear from being used in PvP. 3. Forced players to actually PvP in order to gain PvP gear. How exactly does removing expertise and streamlining all gear resolve the issues SWTOR tried to prevent at launch? If anything, I see class balancing being even worse now and I see warzone quality dropping even lower since anyone can just queue regardless of gear.

With thte removal of crystals as a currency, will we be able to buy non-gear items that are currently on the various crystal vendors, especially high-rank companion gifts and exotic crafting mats?

Hm, commendations/crystals were always nice to get in flashpoints and operations, that way if you get no loot, you at least got crystals which you could turn in for companion gifts, decorations etc. Will there be an alternative fallback loot from bosses (besides credits)?

With the Expertise Bolster, Expertise was basically a dead mechanic anyway.

Has this issue been addressed? If so how has it been addressed?
