Thread: TEMP Advice....Thinking of dumping MP for TKM...tired of buying armor

Yes it is so funny how I warned the devs over and over that these idiotic changes would do nothing but make things 5 times as expensive. To make really good armor now it costs me more than I can sell them for...you ready for these numbers....
for one suit of layered armor...132 layers...final cost of JUST the layers due to the insane extinct resources needed: 749,500 credits per suit.
I even have switched to making economy armor now...still the absolute cheapest suit I make (with almost no stats..nothing above 2000) still have to charge 80-120k
we are being led by morons people, total f-ing morons
I've got the same template as you and I've got through 2 sets of armour so far since the CU, I dont even bother repairing it anymore.
You shouldn't be getting hit at all vs melee and vs Ranged you should be doing Rupture/Shock/Intimidate and you wont get hit very hard at all.
It sounds like your armour is taking a beating because you are not playing to the strengths of that template.
I've been getting beat up too. I went to buy some stormtrooper armor the other day. I know you used to have to buy it with Imp faction, but I figured that now that you have to buy it with credits you didn't need to have the faction points. Wrong. Now I'm going to have to buy some faction from a smuggler. I had no idea I'd have to spend 300k + faction to get one piece. Its pretty nice, but that's tough.
Not really a dump MP (I'm MP/MCM) comment, more an I'm sick of buying a lot of armor too comment.
