Post Re: Dev Blog – New Modification System in Progress
First off, despite the massive credit sink in modded ruin items that myself and some of my teamies will have wiped out, I welcome this new change (some of them might not though).

While I did it anyway, I hated conceptually the process of having buy up and bindo useless items just to tweak my high end setup.

I do like being able to reroll mods if get one you dont like. Clarification question: Will each reroll take a bindo AND credits?

Disagree. The screenshot attached of me having to buy up those and bindo them just to maximize my high end setup for certain passive mods is the dumbest thing ever... Not being required to do this anymore to maximize my setup is welcomed.

No. Bindo is used the first time to put a Primary mod on the item, and then it just takes credits to keep rerolling the Primary mod.

The tech of the item can still potentially affect the stat range. It hasn't been decided yet.

Quote:
Any existing modified items will retain their modifications.


Quote:
The following modifications are NOT nerfed, but are no longer obtainable: Rewired, Extended, Amplified, Superconducting, Overclocked, Buffered, Dynamic, Forceful, and Scoped.


For the sake of clarity, will new mods that increase range, elec temp, tracking, and regen (both shield and elec) be added? Cuase that is a huge range of passive buffs you just took out.

I think my main concern is what are you going to do to prevent players with mountains of legacy gear from rolling newer players who cannot get gear that powerful any more?

This will be released a bit later, once we have a first draft of the numbers. I didn't want to flood this thread with so much information so I chose to start just with the overview.

There will be Primary mods for all of those stats. Primaries are being designed to be valuable enough that most legacy gear will be improved by rerolling into the new system. There will be a few exceptions to this, but those will be smoothed over with the passage of time as new, higher tech gear is released.

Why shouldn't mods be about both? There will be some that are "zanier" than others but they should also be quite useful. Currently, most mods fall into what I might call the "tune-up" category. We are shifting the system to be more about true modifications (compare the Millennium Falcon to its stock version).
