So, im doing some marks today and I loot a CA that has a mod i have never seen. A +14 at that, Droid complexity. I was intrigued I have never found a tape with this mod, nor have I ever heard of it.


Thats because it was taken out about publish 5, being deemed to powerful as it reduced the complexity of schematics, so a droid/droid component/etc was less complex, allowing for greater successes in crafting. It would have been a sweet tape, if it hadnt been removed about 17 or so months ago.


Does it really take this long to remove a certain type of loot or mod from loot tables?


What about the grenade experimentation mods, lol. I heard that grenade exp was only ever in beta, never made it to the live game.


We have loot dropping that has zero effect, no longer applies, and/or is pre-cu.


Considering that loot is a major component of this game, I say give a member of your dev team a redbull, and maybe an extra large coffee and set him/her/it to work.


Oh and while your at it revamp squad leader/commando/ranger, give smugglers missions, fix weapon name colouring, fix battlefields, introduce interesting thoughtful content, allow for weaponsmiths to make the new kashykk weapons, allow players to arrange items and decorate in 3D not just left right/up down, and dont screw around with my xp anymore.


Thank you

Firststepthough would be to fix the loot that is meant to be working Sea's wise you'ull be surprised whats not working atall!


I had a CA with weapon Exp 25 ranged Def 24 so i thought id keep it and use in my Jedi gloves that already has LS speed in them , much to my disapointment the ranged Def made "0" damage reduction atall! :@

Tis all becoming a little to much to put up with!!

deffence now makes you harder to hit, level and skill type effects the amount of damage taken

great example is when they removed BF healing why not remove BF healing CA's to. I think the reason they can't be bothered to do anything with it is that it has got to an un controllable point, if they had removed the mods when the skills had been removed then we wouldnt have all these useless mods.

I agree that SOE will never fix everything in he game....ever. But.......there are "seemingly" quick fixes that can be done to fix the issue of broken mods. In publish 23 any dancer/music wound healing mods from attachmentswill be auto converted to enhancement mods. If they can do that with ent mods why can't they apply the same code to other broken mods?


Here are some examples of broken mods and what they could possibly be turned into:


Grenade exp...........thrown weapon accuracy/speed or other useful commando mod


Droid complexity............droid exp or assembly


Def vs (ie intim, blind, etc)........ranged/melee defense or random weapon defense (the jury is still out on if def vs tapes actually do anything)


Counterattack/dodge/block etc (not sure if these drop anymore)........random weapon defense based on the original mod. IE counterattack (old carb/swords mod) could be turned into carb or swordsman defense.


In cases where a mod already exists on the tape they could make it so that only the highest mod sticks OR (if they want to be nice) stack the mod to make it higher (but not to exceed +25). While this might take more time to code I'm sure it would be well worth the wait.

Good change, maybe there is a way forward. maybe should have changed when they removed the healing though.

I thought droid complexity was used to get extra color pallette with master DE when crafting a Mando Helmet?


or is that droid customization?
