Gear 12 full pieces speculation. Level increase, gear 13 bosses? Etc

So, with all this exciting new content on the horizon. Will we get a way to win full gear 12 pieces as opposed to salvage only? It’s always wrong to assume, but I can’t help think the raid bosses in new Sith raid will have to be higher than gear 12(or have crazy abilities equivalent to gear 12+), as I’m pretty sure the Devs, Me, and many others don’t want this new raid to be a walkover for anyone at launch.

So is a level cap increase on the horizon too?

Will Grevious ever get a rework?

Can we get an additional tier or two of credit heist along with its fancy new mob enforcer artwork? Please.

  • Level 90? What will that serve though? That would need new ability levels and/or gear at the same time otherwise it would be pretty pointless. Perhaps a level locked piece or 2 added to the 3 we already have in gear 12? Still feels like we need more to warrant an increase.

    Gear 13? I feel gear 12 hasn't been around that long yet, and gear 12 pieces have not been very accessible, especially with 2 characters to purchase in the store, so I feel it is just way too soon.

    My guess would be that there will be some tie-in with ships in the rewards, maybe hardware since the developers recognize that ships need more involvement, and acknowledged that they hadn't focused on ships much when they released territory battles.

    A new challenge tier would be pretty sweet. May also give us the ship omegas, which we have no way of obtaining yet.

    I am also not for 6 dot mods. Spent a lot of energy farming my 5 dots. As someone else did if they do add in a new tier of mods then a better balance between the stats. Currently I just sell every mod that doesn't have speed on it.
  • Or they can fix ship AI and bring in ship mods.....I am ok with level 90 because that's the natural progression of things. I think doing level increases in stages actually help F2P because this prevents the level gap from widening too fast. I'm on the fence regarding mod level increases because they waited too long and everyone's inventory would require a revamp. This would not help the F2Ps very much.
  • We don't need more gear levels it's ridiculous the amount of carbs are needed and like a lot are sayin on ere surely they can create a gear builder with the thousands we already have of worthless pieces am lookin forward to it but all the stores shud be rotating coz the crystals are for paying players to be fair
  • I only want ship hardware if it's less rng than toon mods. I prefer how it currently is with who has the better ship depends on who has the better crew.

    Arena pvp can be a bummer when who wins depends on who got the better mod rng if all other things are equal. Fleet arena feels more fair where, if all things are equal, it comes down to inherent game mechanic rng & your offensive strategy.

    I also think before they add new gear they really need to sort the bottleneck from g8-g11. A new gear level is great for top tier players but for the rest of us the bottleneck is pretty intense (especially when raid rewards don't give you the raid exclusive gear). Adding new gear without addressing the current bottlenecks will just make entry even more difficult for new players and add just another aggrivating grind for midrange veterans.
  • It’s all speculation just like title suggests. The QOL is out and none of it is present.

    How about a server update to reduce lag in TW and crashes which close the app in the middle of a TB or other important events? Fix the back ground clutter in space battles to improve render rates and reduce lag as well.

    Grevous isn't sith or old republic so a rework for him as part of the new raid launch is not logical. But I dare say a level cap boost is due. It's been over a year since the last one. And with gear xii parts in shipments now, I would venture that bodes well for two things. 1. The sith raid will award fully crafted gear xii parts for top placements at the highest tier. 2. More gear xii pieces being added to the game maybe even a potential for gear xii.


    Isn't the Kaleesh version of Grievous in the new Han Solo movie? Before suit and what not?


    Haven't seen trailer but doesn't matter. He still isn't from the old republic era. The old republic era is over a thousand years in the past (Kotor I and II, and knights of the old republic). So he still doesn't jive with the new raid. He isn't sith either. Vader and palpatine aren't old republic but they are sith. I imagine they will get to grevous at some point but not in the immediate future.


    From what I have read, that is not General Grievous but another of his race.
  • The more they increase gear and cap level, the less likely this game could retain old players and the less likely this game could attract new players
