The title should be "Why i stopped slicing my BEST mods to 6*"...When mods 2.0 came out me and a few guild members had this discussion about this restriction and how it affects the game going forward, at that point i decided i would be very selective about which mods i upgrade and which i leave at 5A. I would not be upgrading any mods that have high speed can can be used to make lower geared characters viable. (sadly i had already sliced my first one by that point rip 23 spd)But it comes down to the g12 restriction on 6* mods. It means you can never put them back on undergeared characters. However this is where your best mods can give the biggest benefit especially for special events like Legendaries where you may be required to use characters who are not g12 but suddenly find that your best mods are not usable on them.This Chewbacca event I think has likely highlighted the issue for some users. I'd like to know how many people are struggling with g11/g10 BH and just wish they could put that 6* mod with 20 speed on them.I think CG should reconsider this restriction and consider allow g10 or at least g11 characters to also apply them, to make upgrading less of a risk to players without big g12 rosters.

The first time this restriction became apparent to me was when I tried to switch my arena mods on to BH for chewie, just as you say. In game, as opposed to on here, I'm not sure it ever said this was the case.

For now I've prioritized slicing good speed secondary mods to Gold because speed is the most important for arena. I've only sliced to 6* mods that had exceptionnal offense secondaries on offense primaries or crit damage, the speed gain is not worth it in my eyes

This is a solid warning for folks who may not realize it. I think most of us only have the resources to get a few mods to 6 anyway - especially right now with all the panic farming/releases of farm-able characters in past weeks. I think some of this depends on your arena situation. If you are top 50-20 you need to slice them up to stay competitive. The speed differential matters when swimming with the whales. I do agree holding some back or being selective - like I too am working thrawn in first to get ship speed and other pilots - is a good way to begin.

Slicing the Arrow shaped speed primary gives +2 and is therefore more worth wild and I tend to already have speed arrows on all my attackers so I really only need to move the other 5 mods. So going forward I'll be doing all the arrows on my G12 characters. The only times this strategy is not ideal is when you have an arena character that feeds the rest of the team TM like Darth Vader, Sith Assassin or BB8, going all in on that 1 character is worth wild for your arena team.

@EwokViolence

It is clearly stated in the newsletter and message that pops up in your inbox when updates go live. Paraphrasing, but along the lines of "Mod Update Notice - for all details head over to "

And you don't need forum membership to simply read the Developer Announcements. They told you there were numerous details. You knew it was a big update.

That's like crashing your car then arguing with your insurance company that they didn't explicitly tell you every little detail of the notes and fine print contained in your accepted insurance agreement.

As stated by the post above, every in game message about an update contains a "go to the forums for more details". You dont need to be a member to get those details, its an open forum to read, you only need to join to comment.

Well then in that case, ignorance is in the eye of the Casual Player? If you don't learn the details then find out otherwise, don't complain that they didn't beat you over the digital head with a specific requirement.

I brought this up as an issue immediately after they announced it. I understood why they did it, but disagreed heavily with that decision. It introduces frustration where the goal of the mod update was to do the opposite. I still believe they should remove the restriction.

Yes, this legendary event is the first time I REALLY felt the frustration of it. But I had been running into it beforehand too.
