The Mod Changes Megathread

It appears that they did a really good job with this.

6* mods...omg ...game over for me

Pros:
- Mod Energy just for mods
- Mod Loadouts

Neutral:
- New level at tables
- 6 Dot Mods seem like they will require heavy investment which will greatly impact both arenas

Con:
- Removed any reason for farming Jawas since they are removing team specific set-ups

Any clarity on the boost on primary stats when going from 5 dot to 6 dot mods? Your example shows the Defense primary going from 11.75% to 20%, is that the sort of boost we should expect? What will Speed primary arrows go to? Crit Damage triangles?

I call your jawa con a pro. Useless faction for new players to waste resources on.

I wanted mod management, just mod management not something that'll make me hate them even more.

Oh and will we be getting more sorces of credit income by any chance? Nah, didn't think so.

Starts off as mod management and then turns back into the good old reliable CG P2W updates we all know so well

Features I liked:

1. Mod Energy
2. Mod Loadouts
3. Assign existing mods (may be useful)
4. Advanced Filter
5. Some mod sets getting bonus set values (defense, offense, CC etc)
6. Multiplier % increase system (allows people to control the stat increase but IT IS NOT USER FRIENDLY) -- I like this way of letting people know before they invest resources but it is against the spirit of the mod revamp. Since we are getting 6 dot mods... I'm glad the stat increases aren't RNG but a % of existing stats

Features I hate very much:

1. 6 dot mods can only be acquired via mod gear farming (extremely bad decision)

If I could leave any feedback, they should be obtainable by adding another challenge tier to existing mod challenges. Its just so bad in every way imaginable. Mods shouldn't be a grind.

This is just plain awful. I really liked pretty much everything else other than this.

There is also a lot of math and homework involved when upgrading mods from 5 to 6. Its less simpler and more of an annoying statistics assignment.

Its just against the whole "simpler and easier for all players"

FEEDBACK

1. I hope you guys have a preview of post-slicing stats rather than "Try slicing first and then see what your stats are"
2. Make 6 dot mods farmable via mod energy down the road

EDIT:
After doing some calculations... I'm liking the 6 dot mods are set at 3% speed increase. It emphasizes more on other secondaries. Looking at those % increases, I think I'm going to like this a lot

Prior to this update, one of the arguments I saw against the concept of six- and seven-dot mods was having to farm all new mods, and then feeling like the five-dots that were invested in decreased in value.

In this system, yes, there is farming involved--of the new materials. But they are not all new mods, they are your existing mods, so it doesn't feel like those were a wasted investment. What's more is you get to choose which mods to slice to six-dot. With farming all new mods, it would take just as much time to farm good sets of six-dots as it did to farm all those good five-dots.

So this method does introduce new things to farm, but also builds heavily on your previous investment instead of needing to start over. So I think I like this way better than having brand new mods in a new location.

Mysteriously missing. I will make a chart and get that up in the Brief Overview shortly

There is speed and there is more speed.

The end.
