Absurd slicing mats requirements

Is it really going to be that ridiculous if there is a chapter 9 in mod battles with each battle dropping a specific salvage? They have their own energy and the refreshes are 50 crystals. It may not be as apocalyptic as you assume.

I believe whales dolphins and aggressive f2p will find a way to get double and triple materials needed to progress and slice mods. And after a couple weeks they will start to have 6*mod arena teams. I believe slice materials will be like MK3 carbontis. This will turn out to be much more efficient then a 6* drop. Let’s wait and see before we condemn.

I tend to agree. Let's give the update time to fully roll out, experience the farming of said materials, then come to conclusions.

It seems like I'm basically hearing from many of the complainers is that you expect to have all your mods maxed out in a month. It should be a grind like every other aspect of the game and make you choose to use your resources wisely.

Lol, by choose to use your resources wisely do you mean sim tickets? There’s nothing wise about using energy in this game. It’s either, farm gear, farm characters or farm mods. What you’re doing is summarizing and exaggerating people’s well warranted and reasonable complaints. No we don’t know the full details of how they’re going to implement farming these slicing materials. But based on the structure it’s looking like it’s going to be incredibly grindy when it was pitched to be a convinience, shortly after taking away our only advantage in “using resources wisely” by no longer being able to pick a mod with a secondary you want, giving a higher chance to increase that secondary.

Or maybe you’re genuinely miss reading people’s complaints and I’m just an asshole. But just to clarify, people are more concerned it will take a month to increase a couple of mods. I don’t think anyone here expects all their mods to be fully upgraded within a month.

Yes there should be challenge to the game. There should be challenge to every game. But this games definition of challenge is usually months and months and months of farming for a minor increase in stats, as opposed to updating content and fixing more than “small” issues with the Sith raid.

Slicing resources:
grey to green: 10 bonding pins
green to blue: 15 fusion disks and 5 bonding pins
blue to purple: 25 flow control chips and 10 fusion disks
purple to gold: 35 fusion coils and 15 flow control chips
Mk6 isn't live yet.

I’m just glad they didn’t drop 6* mods without slicing. There was a lot of time and effort put into our 5* and slicing is a great solution to our efforts.

Are you crazy or what!!?! A six dot mod farm would be way faster then farming materials to upgrade mods. Do the math. Think about your grey green and blue mods and slicing them to gold then to 6. I would rather have grey green blue 6 dots and keep the old system of upgrading them to gold. This is as lame an update as you can make it. Never mind putting RNG into the equation.
RNG on one object or on 7 materials.

So we are getting the update? Just wondering, I got the reboot during arena but nothing to download.

Battlefront mentality...

I sure hope you are correct. What I’m afraid however is that mod challenges (where you farm mods) will be changed to use the new mod energy and a new mod table similar to ships pve table will be added and that’s where all the slicing mats are. Hence we still have to decide whether we want to use the new mod energy to farm mods or slicing mats.

*sigh* I'm still smarting from the 6-dot mods i won fair and square that got REPO'd during Modgate 1.0

Whale here, and I can say that nope this wasn’t made for whales.
I have everyone unlocked,lv 85, nearly all 7* with every single one with 5 dot maxed out mods. You think I want to farm that much material,currency or buy packs to upgrade my mods. 6 dot mod would have been way easier to swallow then this. This will break the game you watch. Unless they offer 100% drop rate on material it’s a pointless update.
They could have simply made a 6 dot then a 7 dot in the future when needed. This pace is way to slow for anyone to even care or see any significance from it.
