Why I stopped slicing mods to 6*

The devs can do whatever they want. But the way they have things set up now I have no interest in 6 dot mods. The modulators to upgrade them can't be farmed by any other means than guild currency, which is the only thing that keeps the gear grind anywhere near manageable. To get 6 dot mods for just one team of characters is 90,000 guild currency.

And if I'm going to sacrifice an absurd amount of gear to get a mod increase I want the mod to actually be better. The bump in stats is not worth losing the versatility of being able to use it on whomever I want. So I see absolutely no need to have any at the moment. They have put too high a price on them accompanied by a giant downside. So I will simply not use them.

Imo you should only 6 dot a mod if it's very specific to a certain toon.
Eg. A speed mod, circle, with a health primary and 21 speed secondary is going to stay on my Sion for good. Im taking it to 6 dot as soon as Sion gets G12 to move 5.66% health to 16%.

Only 6 dot a mod if it's tailor made for one of your key toons and you know who is using it will be using it for good.

Agreed, this is going to be a big problem. The next big raid character, like Traya, will be meta at 5*, but you won’t be able to put your best mods on him/her if they’re all 6*. The restriction should have been G11.

Try to make them as interchangeable as possible. So the 4 Offense,Crit Damage and speed are always on the same shape. (Arrow, square, hexagon and circle) then the cross and triangle get crit Chance, health, defense and tenacity. All gear 6. Best mods of those wit the most beneficial primary stats and speed.

Just an option.

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.

This came up when it was first introduced and it was discussed....
https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/discussion/180515/6-dot-mods-can-only-be-equipped-by-g12/p4

I guess you're not big on reading posts that you reply to. It wasn't announced in the game. May have been announced on here, which I joined last week. Last I checked forum membership isn't a precursor to playing.

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.

So what your saying is that reading the forum is indeed a precursor to playing. Understand that a large portion of the player base simply doesn't do that.
So I guess that will have to figure it out the hard way....

I will never understand why they recommend a health primary data bus (circle) for sion. It makes zero sense.

Sith get a ton of healing under Traya lead. Sion also has a self heal, and revives at full health only. It makes sense to me.

I thought about this, and honestly I cannot be more thankful for the restriction.

6 star mods should be the killing mod, the ace card, the very best thing that shines through when both you and your enemies’ squad are equivalently strong that the 6E mods just give you that slight upperhand/ advantage.

Without the restriction on g12, you will start seeing low level whales with level 50 toons at g7 running 6 6E mods and destroying everyone in the arena. By keeping it strictly g12, it minimizes the impact on the general gameplay ecosystem while allowing end game players and whales have something to pursuit after.

I never said they should allow it on g7-8 toons. I really only said g11.
Reasoning being. you can not g12 toons who are not 7*.
Not allowing mods on less than g12 really means that, with the exception of those willing to pay for them, those marquee and legendary toons you just can't get to 7* you will never be able to put your best mods on and as the game gets older it will just make them more useless than they already are.

As 6* mods and g12 toons become more ubiquitous characters less than 7* will have no place left in this game.
raid? unless you can't clear heroic you can't use them
TB? i mean you can use them in phase 1-2, maybe 3 if you paid you can use them.
Arena? no value everyone is g12 with 6* mods.
ships? again g12 with 6* mods.
TW... maybe if you are still new.

Point is the limitations on 6* mods (and g12) have killed any value toons less than 7*

So if devs are wondering, these kinds of things is part of what made us tired on of marquee, they were giving us toons that had depreciating value with the power creep in arena.

I saw all kinds of 5-6* sion and traya in arena. Well those days are probably over for the next characters released, because you can't g12 or 6* mod them.

Any way I'm being very selective with what mods I 6* and i hate it. I want to have all the exciting of upgrading my favorite mods but I won't because I was able to get chewie because I put my best mods on my undergeared BH... now just to g12 him.

Doesn't it go against "the spirit of the game" to not want to upgrade mods because they will be less valuable to some players?

Rhetorical question.

The goal of 6-dot mods is to incentivize you to collect more sets instead of moving around the same set a whole bunch of times. You farm mods for a specific character, then once you reach g12 with then you improve those mods—you even know ahead of time (if you want to do the math) what the stats on the improved mod will be.

Long story short, the solution to mod swapping is farming more mods.

I managed 1 mod at +20 speed after 2 years of farming. I'm not going to live long enough to farm good sets to take to 6 dots, and have plenty of good sets left to leave at 5 dots. I'm doing just fine in arena as is. I see no reason to spend resources on making my mods harder to use.

The only way they will get me to change is to strong arm us by making 6 dot mods an arbitrary barrier to some game mode. 6 dot mods required on all toons for the next TB map or something.
