I used Barriss as a main character for a long time, but around 6+ months ago stopped using her except for the random Galactic War node here and there. When I read about her Zeta ability as well as watch videos on it, I decided Zeta her ability. After the announcement yesterday regarding the changes, I decided that once the refunds were received, I wouldn't use them on Barriss again. That was very nice of EA to offer the refund on the items required to get the Zeta, but that isn't my problem. My problem is that I took a level 70, gear 8 character all the way to level 85 gear 11 so that I would be able to get as much out of her and her new ability as possible. Now that I no longer have that Zeta'd ability on her, she will go right back into the roster and get used as much as she did a few months ago, which is very rarely. Has there been any discussion on giving back the gear/funds that were used on her to max her out and make the most of the character with this upgraded ability? I don't complain about much with this game, but I did spend a lot of time and resources on this character trying to make her the best that she could be. I think that any player out there would put all the time and effort needed into maxing out a character that they planned on using a Zeta upgrade for. I appreciate all of the work that EA/CG does to keep improving this game, but I was just hoping to get some clarification on this point.

They shouldn't have given back anything.Before if they fix bugs they don't give back anything.Be happy with what you got.

I think it's unfortunate that this happened and I feel bad that you had to spend the gear and credits on her. However should they refund everyone who was affected by every other nerf that happened? I fully agree on giving Zetas back as that's what they were fixing. Getting everything else back I personally feel is a bit much.

I understand your thought process but I was surprised and against them giving back the zeta's even. I mean TO ME it was obvious that the bug would be fixed. That said, PM Incoming, you are on my shard.

IMO, as another guildie stated, they should reset the character back to start, and give everyone back the stars, the gear, abilities, and leveling currency, and then let them decide if they want to build her right back.

She's an easy gear, and her zeta is still very effective. EA did not have to refund your zeta materials

While you're asking for things that will never be refunded, don't forget to ask for your missed Arena rewards! Each Zarriss team i fought last night was a guaranteed win because the zetas had been auto-removed and no one had switched her out yet.

I understand the can of worms that this could cause, but if I wouldn't have jumped on ships as quickly as I had and been able to get Zeta's as quickly, I wouldn't have Zeta'd her ability after the change/rework. This means that I wouldn't have spent all of the resources on leveling her up. I now have a lvl 85, g11 Barriss that is going back on the bench. It's just a game and things happen, but I (just as many others do) have spent real money on this game and this character in order to try to keep up and get ahead.

I am not so sure there is a better option than her anyway. I never killed her first when facing time out teams because if you do, you will get killed by other dps. She is quite tanky afterall, especially behind GK. I think she is still the top Unique zeta out there.
