New MOD Management tool, please!!!!!!!

I’d like to see something similar to swgoh.gg mod management. Would be Really sweet in game

Well past due at this time...problem is that they don’t seem to listen or care what we ask for...

It doesn't even take an overhaul of the mod system in place. Just add the ability to see mods already assigned and filter by primaries and secondaries. Easy.

Second step. Get rid of the "delete" option when reassigning mods. They're worth more if you don't delete them and sell them anyway, so what's even the point of not paying the reassignment fee of 4,700?

Lastly, I hate to break it to the masses, but getting the ability to create multiple "mod sets" for a single toon is probably never going to happen. With TB and TW, the backlash of not finishing a phase or losing on offense/defense because you inadvertently pulled "saved mods" from one toon onto a raid toon and forgot to switch them back would be overwhelming. There really is no simple way to create that sort of mechanism.

That's funny, because they already mentioned it and spoke a little bit about its development in an interview not that long ago.

They stated the cost of mod movement was originally placed to make doing what you are describing cost prohibitive. They never intended for us to move mods the way we do. This was one of the issues that made the credit crunch an even bigger issue when mods came out.

Which was just a crazy oversight when you look at where mods are now. Why would people not move mods when there is such a huge variability in secondaries for arguably the most important stat in the game (speed)? Could you imagine if your arena team was stuck with one of those initial 1 or 2 dot mods we had to go through before we could even unlock certain mod sets?

And even when you take this into consideration, it doesn't excuse the lack of minor tweaks that could be implemented to alleviate a lot of the mod stress. Yes, they addressed they will likely do an overhaul (with the introduction of 6 or 7 dot mods), but in the interim why not just remove the "delete" functionality to avoid inadvertent destruction of mods? Why not enable the ability to search through both assigned and unassigned mods? Why not add an additional filter for primaries so you don't have to click through every arrow, triangle, or cross to find the type your seeking? Needing swgoh.gg or crouching rancor to complement the mod system makes the game no longer "mobile".

I give game designers and devs a lot of credit, but the mod system and specifically the mod management needs some serious love.

What’s even more funny is the time between the player base asking for this and it happening........oh wait.....it hasn’t. I guess soon, or maybe August, or perhaps Dec 5th. Despite their intentions, mods need a management tool badly. They change things all the time despite their initial intentions, so why not here??

Would you have preferred they worked on mod movement before say the credit crunch?

Asking for something and it being a valid thing to add to the game are 2 different things. They are not going to invest resources into something that may not really be needed (nor should they).

Because it takes time to get the data, especially in a complex system like mods and as they stated in the interview things like this have a long cycle time to get through the "imagining" process. They need to make the UI intuitive and have helpful features and functions otherwise it's pointless. You come to many points where you say 'yes that's a good idea' but then have to ask, how would it look?, how will it be used?. I would rather them take a year to make it useful then make it and call it done and have it harder to use then swgoh.gg and moving them by hand now.

Sorry, moved as much. I think they stated. They planned on them being moved which is why we can, but not for every event,raid, and TW.

Agreed there could be tweaks but it's not effective use of time to have someone make small changes to a system you plan to overhaul, unless you have the whole big picture laid out and know that the tweaks will either be useful later or are part of the overall plan.

Also, you dont have to move mods beyond a few changes at a meta shift. I rarely move mods, many teams are setup for raids and whatnot, or left from a previous meta as I only try to lower speed on an "old toon" when shifting out of a meta.

Severs me well.but that's just me.

@kyno, they should really upgrade you to community manager.

I’m fine with the credits as they are. I don’t feel the credit crunch because I manage my spending. I can’t manage my mods without outside help because there is no option in game. I agree that they shouldn’t waste time on trivial things, however, mods management is not one of those things. It’s been at the top of the player wants for quite a very long time, along with other things that get ignored. (Lookin at you GG rework).

I agree, credits were never my problem either, you will always need more, I'm fine with that.

There is no doubt in my mind that people always need an outside sources to effectively manage mods, and that should be addressed, I dont think its trivial either, but it needs to be done right or it will be like the chat is now. A huge upgrade that many if the player base ignore and still use the outside resources available.

To do that takes time. At least we know it's on their radar, and hopefully ranked higher than a GG rework( and clone helmets)
