Thanks a bunch for the mod nerf self-entitled whingers

Hands up, I had a full modded Rey. She got owned by stealthed Leia, and blocked by tanks. She was more use in raids and challenges. But not the auto win people assume she was.

Understand concerns about old gear reset. But modding was really fun when they could actually change something. Now minmaxing requres you to just give +6% offense to who already has the most, +health % mostly to tanks... Just another boring layer of gear...

+ofc very very unfair to not revert gold spent. I was like: OK, mods are powerful, best way now is to really max mods for core team and ignore others. I even did not upgrade less used toons to 7*.
Spent all millions on mods. Worthless now and it will take loong to recover form this hit.
E.G. In Hearthstone they do with some changes and nerfs opportunity to make dust from nerfed cards for full price. This should have been applied here.

Don't blame the whiners. The mods were always going to be nerfed. Just like the drop rates were always going to be reduced, and the upgrade costs were always going to be increased. There's no way it wasn't all planned from the start.

By initially releasing the mods with OP stats, people were forced to spend a ton of cash (real and fake) to stay competitive in the game. That wouldn't have happened if the mods were just modest upgrades like they are now.

And that, if true, is very likely illegal.

To be fair, it was more likely a dumb, ill considered move than a deliberate act to scam anyone.

The only reason you liked original mods was because you were OP and facing unmodded/low modded teams. Once everyone had caught up, you would've been back to just being normal and upset you couldn't smash everyone anymore.

Anyone who likes the way they were is being incredibly short sighted.

I think the people who were crying before giving them much of a chance were being short sighted. So long diversity. We almost had you. Such a tease!

That "diversity" was false. It was only possible because you could use fully modded toons against low modded squads. It was plain to see mods made every other form of progression and balance completely obsolete - you didn't need stars or gear or even levels, just mods.

Now, you can use mods to tweak rather than push to extremes. You can add potency where it is needed or speed where toons are slow. It's not about making some people crazy strong - it's about giving people the option to make up for some shortcomings or push their advantages a little.

The more i think about this and how much this change affects customers i can only find one conclusion - scam.

Sadly we are not talking here about some online game or monthly payment based game, this is a game using real money to buy and advance in game. Changing something so drastically over few days leads to just pure scam or bait and switch tactic. This is however illegal to do so no matter what ToS says.

This has probably been said already but: I'm not sorry for reverting changes that took away 9 months of grinding gear and levels.

So you guys were happy that all the gear we have collected for 6 months or more became obsolete over night?

How much money did you spend on upgrading your toons and gear to get them where they were just to have that investment thrown out the window over night?

Did you spend months building a raid team with teebo just to have him become virtually useless overnight?

Did you upgrade and level phasma because of her fussillade slow down ability and then have that not proc anymore over night?

Etc, etc

No one is saying that. How they did it however is what is debated. They should just reset all and start again. Adjusting little be little but first giving full refund. You can still keep your 9 months all star toons and it is also better for you that no other major change comes with this game so you can keep your confident 9 month chars.

The mods were a shock but they actually made it fun, and could see how we could start using different characters. Made Vader useable in Arena for a start. Now the mods do so little that you can still only use the same 4/5 team comps to play.

Also was looking forward to modding up characters to max that i could use to do the mod challenges, but nope. I will never be able to do any more than the first 2 now.

How many of you that liked it was first in arena for 4 months or more and then cause of update you can't get into the top five anymore cause you found less of the %offense ones than your shardmates? Was exact same meta at the top btw. Whoever's rey died first lost.
