Why does GMYoda only get one g12+ piece of gear?

Which is very concerning. GMY is the hot toon of this week afterall, and if you oversight this character then what about everyone else?

It implies not a lot of thought is given to the new gear slots for some of the lesser known toons and they just gave them whatever. Kinda like Scavenger Rey getting two +10 Tactics gear when the tank gear first dropped.

I am aware that CG did explain that useless gear was given due to how powerful they currently are and they needed to be balanced out (Scavenger Rey was one-shotting everyone in arena at the time)

I'm just concerned that not a lot of care is given to the new gear slots and I'll admit I had to double check every new gear slot for First Order after this to check if any of the new gear is useless for that specific toon.

Super crushing blow.

Have they ever altered a gear piece after the fact? or do they do no wrong and force you to basically dump a piece of gear to get him g13..whenever that may come.

Speak CG we beg you.. we haven't seen smoke from wonka's factory in many moons

I think the only time they've ever altered gear pieces was when they changed/nerfed a bunch of characters and their "speed tiers" back when speed still moved in chunks. Don't know of them doing it since that.

(Look at jawa engineer)
GM yoda is fine.

@CG_SBCrumb Any thoughts here? I reported it as a bug, but it might not get treated as such by @EA_MindTricks if it is really an oversight. Somehow it needs to be brought to the attention of the devs responsible.

This isn't the only example of toons needing gear pieces which don't benefit them in any way. Off the top of my head I can think of Palp, who only deals special damage but to get to G12 needs a gear piece which increases physical damage. Admittedly messing it up with G12+ is a bigger deal than with G11 gear but the principle is the same; I suspect they might not change anything.

You must mean G11 for ep. I haven't really went thru all the old G12 stuff however so far this is the only G12+ that is not matched to the character

I don't think they will change it either but only 1 character out of all 153 of them have this issue with g12+, this looks like an oversight that should not have happened.

On AnswersHQ it has been flagged for further investigation. So at least there is that. We'll see what comes of it.

Hi folks,

The Mk 12 ArmaTek Holo Lens on Grand Master Yoda is not a bug and though far from ideal, does provide him a very small boost in effectiveness.

There are other characters that also have less than ideal gear such as Scavenger Rey. She has several pieces of TAC-based gear which she only benefits marginally from equipping. Similarly with Grand Master Yoda, he gains mostly health from the G12+ Holo Lens (and some speed, of course), so not entirely useless, but also not a significant performance improvement.

Regardless of GMY having the Mk 12 ArmaTek Holo Lens, he has been balanced with this in mind and will perform well in certain game modes. (Psssst, such as P1 of the Heroic Sith raid as an example)

In the short term, I would recommend focusing on Yoda’s other gear and equipping the Mk 12 ArmaTek Holo Lens on another character if you earn one. There are definitely a few others that would love to have that additional physical damage!

You are seriously going to compare G11 to G12+???
he is the only character that has no physical damage attacks and gets boosts from G12+ to physical damage stats. That is 1/306 G12+ that doesn't match and expect me to believe it was intentional? I never expected ideal or perfect (that is in the eye of the beholder) but I didn't expect them to get factually useless stats. I am discounting AGI/STR/TAC in this as those tend to boost multiple stats.

Sadly I expected this answer.

But it is a clear answer and one with some solid guidance. Not ideal gear, but the response rewards those that visit the forums. I’ll take it.
