So their solution to something that wasn’t really all that complicated in the first place was to make it 10x more complicated...ummm....ooooook?

Haha, I was about to say this. I love CG, we are going to make mods simpler to use by adding another RNG mechanic that most players won't have a clue how to use efficiently- *introduce slicing*.

So am I getting this straight, best thing now is to buy/farm green/blue mods, upgrade once or twice if blue and then use the slicing mat to hopefully get an extra 5/6 speed ?

Best thing is to buy mods with speed and upgrade to lv 9~12 now, we may need Cantina energy to farm the materials used for slicing, there is drop rate to consider too.

False. You should NEVER upgrade a blue or green to 9 or 12 by default.

Hi, I didn’t do it wrong, speed might increase at 6, 9 and 12, not sure why you mentioned 3. Also, I have seen speed secondary increased at lv 12 once, not sure why you left it out, cannot remember it’s colour, remember it’s not gold, didn’t know that before at all, plus I need to see all four status and get them ready to use, so 9 to see if and how much speed increases, I don’t just want see if it increases, need to see how much, 12 to see all four status plus final speed.

Speed is most important to me, other status matter too.

Last but not least, I want to avoid farming materials for slicing or do slicing to my existing mods, so 12 it has to be.

You clearly don’t understand how mods upgrade currently let alone their explanation of how the system is going to change. This stuff is available in lots of places. I’m done with remedial mods 101.

You’re crazy, man! I thought you’re done but you’ve continued to post here.

Nobody asked you to do anything here, don’t feel you have to. You clearly don’t know mods so stop pretending so, no one needs you remedy anything here.

I have 570+ mods with speed, how many do you have? This is not a question in case you fel you’re compelled to answer.

I sincerely hope you can stop replying in my thread.

If it has a question mark, it’s a question. I don’t count all mods with secondary speed because who cares if you have a bunch of +5 speed mods? I have about 200 mods with at least 10 secondary speed. SWGOH.gg says I have 500 mods with secondary speed applied to characters, plus 120 speed arrows. I’m guessing I have another hundred or so secondary speed mods sitting in my inventory not assigned because they are in that 7-9 range where they aren’t going to improve on what I have already assigned to the toons I use. Plus a couple dozen or more speed arrows I have in reserve or haven’t leveled. What do I win?

The fact that you created a thread does not mean you get to dictate who replies to that thread. If you want to post things that are factually wrong, you can expect to be corrected.

I have got a lot of useful information from other people’s reply but not yours, no logic, full of assumptions and you forgot to mention until I pointed them out.

You are not helping and only make fool of yourself by opposing others and typing whatever you want to say.

I said I hope you can stop replying, not demanding you must stop, and you did say you’re done but continue to harass other people who might actually contribute.

In conclusion, as far as I can tell, you totally lost control. Question mark doesn’t always represent a question especially when I specifically write right after it: it’s not a question and you do not need to feel you’re compelled to answer, which you did, prove I am right about you regarding your issues and you never read other’s reply before you reply back, which makes your words are completely nonsense and it’s a waste of time for us to read.

This is the last time I reply to you, but not to others.

Folks, let's stop the comments targeted at other users and what they are/aren't saying. These aren't appropriate for the forums. Thank you.

Every single thing said on this post is wrong.

That said I am leveling all my green, blue and purples on the off chance that they change something with it because it is cheap to do so

I think that's the point. It's cheap now versus what's coming.

I've read a sci-fi short novel by Constanz G. Screvup titled: 'How to monetize?'
It has an interesting conversation in it:
"-We lose revenue on new playable in-game avatars. What should we do?
- What's that part of the game we haven't monetized yet completely?
- Modification equipments a.k.a. meqs.
- Do we have any requests from the playerbase regarding meqs?
- Yeah, better meq handling.
- So let's give them better meq handling, and find a way to get more revenue from them."

@NicWester Yeah, this could easily fit in The Grand Scheme Of Things And Whatever.

This is it exactly. They can’t give us something we desperately want without also finding a way to squeeze more money out of us.

That's a weird, but still correct way of looking at it.

In my mind, slicing is just a way to get a base gold mod out of a non- base gold mod, and that applies whether you've leveled the mod yet or not. Normally slicing would reveal the additional stats, the same way a gold mod has already revealed all four stats. If leveled first, since leveling actually reveals stats on non- gold mods, slicing would instead boost the stat rather than reveal it. (It's effectively the same thing, just in a different order)

It's just making all non- gold mods -- teal, green, blue, purple and gold -- capable of being gold. So I'd hoard any mod that has the primary and set you want. Depending on how much slicing costs, they all could be worth it.

It sounds like you'll get the slicing materials (or whatever they wind up being called) from farming mods. If that's the case, then I feel like a new player will do fine because they're going to get slicing upgrades as soon as they start farming. For established players I think we'll be getting them, but not at the rate we need, so will wind up prioritizing using them on good purple or blue mods to make them gold.

It's all speculation, of course. But I don't think, for veteran players at least, slicing grays or greens will be worth it.

I believe they said you will get the materials from mod battles, not mod challenges, which is the only efficient way to farm mods. The crap mods you get from mod battles are totally worthless. It appears to be a way to put a further demand on Cantina energy.

They will probably put a big pack of resources for sale in a one time offer and maybe a reoccurring one in the store.

I think this will put even more distance between spender and F2P.

First, Bryn has been absolutely correct in the way he’s explained the new mods in his posts, based off our current understanding of how they will work. The problem is CGs explanation was so vague, full of contradictions, and not enough information that we can’t be absolutely sure how it’s going to work. Again though, based off what we know, or think we know so far, Bryn has been correct in his explanations.

Second, although they said that slicing materials would be farmable from mod battles, I have a strong feeling they either meant mod challenges, mod battles AND challenges, or they are reworking the mod battle table to include 5 star mods. I don’t see how they could expect to have three things (characters, mods, and slicing materials) all be on the same energy and drop from separate locations. I don’t care if it’s a money grab or not, that still wouldn’t be feasible. There is something here that’s either a typo or not explained fully yet.

Can’t find anyone who has replied under the name of “Bryn” in this thread, maybe you’re referring to someone’s in game name that we couldn’t have known?

Then I searched the entire forum, there are only two threads mentioned Bryn and one of them is my thread, you mentioned.j
When you write something, it means you want people to read so you need to understand who your readers are going to be and make sure they can understand without making too many assumptions: the fact is I don’t know Bryn and I couldn’t understand what SoonerJBD were trying to say after reading his entire post.

Wow that was a long post to say “who is bryn?” Bryn = SoonerJBD.
