Like to know if there’s any benefit or what the rationale for this statement about upgrading colored mods before the patch. Suggestions for the next few weeks “Level up your Green, Blue or Purple mods if you want to take advantage of how revealed substats are currently leveled into prior to the upcoming change. Hold off on selling lower level mods until slicing is available.”Is it telling us it’s a good idea to level up colored mods before patch? Doesn’t make sense why any different waiting. Leave some greeens, blues etc at Lv1 as they are wouldn’t affect them would it post patch?

Purple I'd level to 11 and immediately to 12 if the speed increased.If the speed didn't increase on the blue or purple I would just leave them at 8 and 11.That can add up on the credits. Stopping at 3,6,9 can save credits for now to take advantage on other mods. We don't know if there will be rollbacks to secondary upgrades on partially leveled mods under the new system or not. How could they reconcile a blue mod at level 6 without secondaries revealed under the new system where secondaries get revealed first?Better to fully level the good upgrades and make sure they stick around, but not the bad ones in hopes they might change.... definitely fully level the good ones either way.As for 3,6,9: I read somewhere that your secondary stats get bigger increases if you go to the brink of the next upgrade rather than the tip of the one you are on. It may be confirmation bias, it may not be, but I have seen better results leveling to 5. 8, and 11 than 3,6, and 9.Your right there could be. This time around though I am giving the benefit of the doubt as this looks like very well communicated announcement with good an bad in it.

It’s indifferent The only benefit is that non-gold mods might get their secondary stats increased to gold tier status from slicing. Edit: They probably meant that so you can see the secondary stats they have so you can consider slicing them to get slightly better stats on them.

Ir IS better. If I understood correctly, after the update, a mod will show all of its stats before upgrading one or more of them. For example, you get a blue mod with speed and protection. As things are now, you are certain at least one of those stats will get an increase. After the update, a blue mod will get a new stat at level 3 and at level 6, meaning that the increase to existing stats will happen after all secondaries are revealed.Simpler example. A green mod with a speed secondary meant that speed would go up one time, 100% certain. With new mods, that's not a guarantee. That's why they ask you to "precraft" mods

Well here’s the news that I’ve heard. Good idea to level up the good ones then as it’s something new in place now to guarantee that the stats available to upgrade. Wasn’t aware of that.

Is there a benefit from upgrading green, blue, purple and gold mods before the update

Yeah basically this. As we no speed rules...
Green mod Right now With speed secondary is guaranteed a bump. After the update it will not be guaranteed since it will show the other 3 stats first then bump one of the 4.

I don't agree with the sell all Grey mods, because a Grey mod sliced 4 times could be a gem. I am only.selling Grey mods if I need the room.

This.

And upgrading all gold now is a waste, unless you are going to use it. All gold mods will upgrade the same now and in the new system

So only GREENS are guaranteed to roll the stat?

Currently yes. Blues it can roll either of the 2, purple any of the 3, gold any of the 4.
Right now you have better chance of rolling the speed stat (or which ever you want to roll) on a purple or blue than after the update which is why it is a good idea to level green to 3, blue to 6 and purple to 9 right now if they are showing speed (or which ever stat you want to roll).
If they are not currently showing speed (or which ever stat you want to roll) it is better to wait because after the update unseen stats have better chance to roll since stats will be shown 1st then boosted.

I think we should just sell all our mods right now to get some money
