Mod Calibration disappointing

Mod calibration is free and unnecessary at this point. Use it and enjoy the times it helps and don’t care about the times it doesn’t. Mods you are likely calibrating are beyond good enough in pve modes and unlikely to make a bit of difference in pvp because of datacrons.

Free, yes.

Unnecessary, I guess if you don't care about your mods.

I stand by statement. Mods are almost pointless in the dc era in pvp. Do I still work them? of course I do. It’ll change when dodge goes away but right now dodge % is far more determinative than mods.

I guess it depends of your level of play. It may be the case in the upper level where you might be, but where i stand (top k2-bottom k1), i don’t remember having a match where dodge % was decisive.

I’m similar to you. Tvf is slightly higher than both of us. I find the reverse statement just as true. Since the introduction of dcs, mods has been decidedly less important. First it was those with 300%+ hs vaders. Now it’s emp cooldown + high dodge dcs. Next month something else will get added. I don’t have great mods but not bad mods either and I’ve found my advantage or disadvantage in mods (25.76 top 25, 16.05 top 500) to not at all be a predictable measure of matches. However, I also don’t put much effort into gac so I concede that’s likely the most important factor.

Hey if you think ignoring mods is the right play go for it.

Good old tvf. Ignoring the point of the post even after being told the words they were putting in my mouth were factually untrue.

I havent been keeping track of my calibration but I've got some decent rolls. I would say I get about 40% of the rolls im somewhat looking for. Others are disappointing but that's the rng of it. Just like mods, don't spend actually money on packs unless you're a whale but get the calibration mats while farming mod mats so you should be able to do at least 1 every week depending on how much you need/want for calibration.

I'm willing to assume it's a 25% chance to hit any secondary, unless of course one is already maxed.

I thought the whole game was free.

You are likely discussing the most expensive gamble in the game. There is nothing that will have more confirmation bias than this. Imagine all the screams about "working as intended" if omicrons had only a 25% chance to put it on the character you wanted, 75 % on other toons you didn't pick; even worse there could be by-lines in the kit that may not be present sometimes.

People would be freaking out. That's parallel to calibration in the game.

Your parallel is debatable: mods always had rng, gear never had rng.

Yo dog, I heard you like rng…

Rtt: All the changes have been awful since conquest, besides Jabba of course
