Barriss Offee refunds?

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.
  • @RAYRAY has a good point. She basically now has an unseen taunt. If you don't try to take her out first you're going to have to deal with the healing from a crit hit. But a taunter on your team and boom. She's going to be still be great, just not ridiculous.

    Count your blessings OP. I was in the exact situation as you, having brought her up, after reading the reviews, from lvl 72 g8 to lvl 85 g11, except that I was two days away from activating her Zeta. At least you got 500 crystals.
  • Hey, I wasted time and resources on Poe when I should have spent them elsewhere. Got burned there without a refund.

    If something looks broken, it probably is. I am surprised it took so long to fix, though. I just can't understand the refunding part here.

    And she's far from useless, not just OP anymore.
  • EA does't owe you anything, and if they realize it's broken and give you back all that you spent (not money, but resources) be glad they did. When they fix it, you can rezeta her

    Wah. Serisously. If be glad you got your zeta back. If you aren't going to use her AND you reapply the zeta, isn't it really really insane that you are complaining about a few training droids and some gear?
    You can literally zeta someone else, and you are going to waste it and complain about gear. Man some people really have some nerve.

    This is the kind of guy that goes to a football game and asks to have a refund for his ticket if his team loses.


    I guess it all depends on your idea of "some" gear. Gearing up a character is one thing, but adding a Zeta requires a whole new aspect to the game and a lot more work that gathering regular gear.

  • It's not like she's totally useless she doesn't provide a God mode toon like 5s and Baze. I was gearing her where she's gl 10 and omegaed - at least you got a crystals out of it.
  • You make it sound like Barriss has turned into mob enforcer lol

    when her zeta gets a fix it would still be good.

    Also to this logic, I should be ask to have back my Old Ben and all his gear, since he's worthless now too, same with Dooku, Poe, and countless others.


    Don't forget a lot of my maxed toons that has turned into useless because of... Chaze :D
