Patch 5.0 - Galactic Command - Massive Changes as for Gearing+PvE/PvP
Posted: Thu Oct 20, 2016 17:46
Good day!
The Streams are done and the discussion is heated.
The upcoming expansion will make some massive changes.
But let's first begin with the summary of the KOTET/Galactic Command Stream by Dulfy:
http://dulfy.net/2016/10/13/swtor-galac ... ctober-17/
Resulting from the change gearing will be massively revamped:
Big gear changes in KOTET
http://dulfy.net/2016/10/17/swtor-big-g ... -in-kotet/
Commendations will be discontinued. Expertise will be cut from the game. Gear will no longer drop from bosses.
But:
Players will be able to craft comparable item level gear without set bonuses.
F2P Players will NOT be able to participate in the new "Galactic Command"-System and can now only gear through purchasing crafted/sold gear from the GTN and drops from in-game.
Last point:
How does the Galactic Command system work?
Dulfy gives a nice overview there:
http://dulfy.net/2016/10/17/swtor-galac ... -overview/
Last off the earning of those Command points will be INDIVIDUALLY.
So no connection to the legacy.
Which leaves the questions about twinkers gearing up.
Though probably crafting will get a boost from these changes.
As twinkers would not rush through content nor would they have the time to get massive command points for gearing.
All in all quite a bag of change.
Seems SWTOR stands on before another massive revamp.
Especially the exent of the changes to PvP will be substantial and we will see how that goes.
But this old axiom holds truth:
Future is change.
