You get a nice boost from the Hellstorm set when playing Grenadier but when building your armor suit other than weapon damage and specialized weapon damage like heavy weapon there are no mods that benefits the build other than pure luck/prec stacking. (devastation with heavy weapon will to a point) Could we implement these mods into the exotic mod category? Cheatmeal, post: 4313, member: 2918 wrote: Thank you for the suggestion. Good news, Chapter 6 will be introducing several new exotic junk loot stats, including support specifically for Grenadier builds. The following new stats are planned: Grenade Damage Grenade Critical Chance Grenade Action Cost Reduction Saber Burst Damage Jedi Strike Damage Jedi Sweep Damage Force Lightning Damage Damage Over Time (DOT) Damage Area of Effect (AOE) Damage You can read more about the upcoming Chapter 6 systems and additions here: SWG Evolve Chapter 6 Wiki Orton Evolve Community Manager

Cheatmeal, post: 4238, member: 2918 wrote: So we where just brainstorming one night after I was attacked by a Jawa with an axe that was bigger than they was so it got me and everyone else thinking - How about a Jawa World Boss?! The Jawa King A larger than normal Jawa wielding a giant lumberjack styled axe. The Jawa King resides on Tattooine to the northwest of Old Ben Kenobi's hut, no one really knows when he got there or why he is so aggressive towards everyone but he is very angry and wants retribution for something only they know about. Attacks He slams his axe down with both hands in front of him, causing a tremor in the ground that damages everyone in a straight line for 51 meters. (Telegraphed, can and should be avoided) Every 45 seconds he goes into rage and he performs a whirlwind style attack that damages everyone around him within 25 meters. (Can one shot melee if not high enough health) When he has lost 20% of his health he calls out for aid and 10 normal sized Jawa's spawns. Each Jawa carries a poisoned dagger that does X damage to both health and action pool. Should be focused down as fast as possible. This continues to occur every 20% health loss until defeated. When The Jawa King reaches his last 20% health he pockets his Axe and pulls out a knife and tags a target for termination and slowly begins to move towards this person. If the person is reached The Jawa King kills them (No defenses will help but tanks will be immune to this effect) Cannot be taunted during this phase. On Death an equal amount to the raid group size Jawas spawn that needs to be killed before the dust finally settles. Loot Jawa styled decor like paintings, furniture (like junk piles with scrap metal etc), clothing, A Jawa styled rucksack, Sandcrawler House, different droid deeds not obtainable anywhere else, Legendary Woodchopper Axe (2h), Legendary Knife (1H). Could be either a fun short time event over the summer months and then removed or put in place permanently, Just a fun idea that some of us threw together and I decided to put it in writing. Thanks for reading, k-bai ~ Thank you for the suggestion. First of all, I’m going to need a full incident report regarding being attacked by a Jawa wielding an axe larger than itself. That is both deeply concerning and also exactly the kind of chaos we expect to hear about on Tatooine. The concept of The Jawa King is honestly hilarious and surprisingly well thought out. A furious, oversized Jawa roaming the dunes near Old Ben’s hut with a lumberjack axe is certainly… memorable. The mechanics you outlined, especially the tremor attack, the rage whirlwind, and the waves of dagger-wielding Jawas showing up every 20% health, would definitely create some entertaining moments. I can already imagine the panic in voice chat when ten Jawas suddenly spawn and start aggressively stabbing everyone’s action pool. The final phase where the Jawa King pockets the axe, pulls out a knife, and slowly hunts down a marked player is particularly terrifying. The mental image of a raid group watching a tiny hooded menace slowly walking toward someone while everyone screams in Discord is priceless. The loot ideas are also great. Jawa themed decorations, scrap piles, clothing, and even a Sandcrawler house would fit perfectly with the theme. I’m sure the Legendary Woodchopper Axe would quickly become the most questionable fashion statement in the galaxy. While I can’t promise that the Jawa King will officially begin his reign of terror anytime soon, I will absolutely pass this along to the team. At the very least, it has provided us with the mental image of a raid wiping to a very angry trash goblin with an axe, which is something I didn’t know I needed today. Thank you for the creativity and the laugh. Orton Evolve Community Manager Historical reactions: Love × 1

I myself cannot do it any longer on anything other than a tank and that doesnt give me the feel of a daily dungeon anymore, I've gotten to the point where I only do it on my tank and my jedi then leave it alone. I propose this: Turn the current version of the Revanite Daily into a hardmode challenge, just like Death Watch Arena Daily, with a slightly increased loot chance compared to the normal version and put in an easier version so that everyone can do it on the toon they prefer. Having a normal mode and a hardmode in both daily instances makes sense to me. Content becoming stronger as people become stronger is fine but there are newer people coming in often and they need to be able to do the content as well. Thank you for the suggestion and for sharing your experience with the Revanite Daily. Balancing daily content so that it remains engaging for geared players while still accessible to newer players is always a challenge. Your idea of separating the current difficulty into a normal mode and a hard mode, similar to the Death Watch Arena Daily, is an interesting approach and makes sense from a progression standpoint. We’ll pass this suggestion along to development so they can take a look and evaluate whether adjustments to the Revanite Daily might be appropriate. Orton Evolve Community Manager

Not sure how much you are capped out on Critical Chance, it is 75% in the stats presently which is max. I would remove 1 point in Marksman - Stamina to get Marskman - Fan Shot to get another attack. I would see about removing the 4 points Critical Chance from Combat Medic and seeing if you are still capped out on Critical Chance. Place a point in Carbineer - Concussion Shot and Carbineer - Assault giving you 2 additional attacks. Additionally Combat Medic - Serotonin Purge does not remove buffs in PVP and is designed for PVP, Rheumatic Calamity, and Bacta Corruption are designed more for PVP also, could remove them to get 3 additional points. I would use the remaining points to either get Master Commando for Tank/Damage Stance along with some Evasion, or use 5 points and get Doctor - Bacta Ampule. If you are not aiming for Strikethrough, you could cut back Assassin - Assassin's Blade and get Assassin - Flash Bang (Stun) and Assassin - Decoy (Protects you from about 3 hits), if you want an additional attack could also get Assassin - Deceptive Attacks (Ambush/Snipe). If you need additional points to move around, I would test out each ability from Combat Medic, find which ones are not providing much of a difference and remove it to put toward either Master Commando or Doctor - Bacta Ampule.

Cheatmeal, post: 3982, member: 2918 wrote: Hi. Now my memory is not what it used to be so I can't remember if we had side bars on Live or not but you can have two side bars on the Legends server. Is this something that could be implemented here? I understand that we have 3 bars with 6 pages to scroll between but me personally prefer to have buffs and other misc items off to the right hand side. This is something I have done since Everquest days and I miss it a lot on this server. Also, I am completely umfamiliar with coding but is it possible to add an UI Scale slider of some sorts or the ability to alter specific UI elements like group windows, health bars etc? With a full 16 man group the screen gets crowded - As a non healer finding out you can just move the entire window off to the side and not see it is awesome but for the healers that's not really a valid option and sometimes you want to see the group to see what's going on. Just spitballing a little here, not well thought out ideas really - Just things from the top of my head that I personally miss. Thanks! Thanks for taking the time to share this, and no worries at all, these are very reasonable thoughts. Having the option for additional side bars or more flexible action bar placement is something many players are used to from other MMOs, and I understand why having buffs and misc abilities off to the side can feel more natural. While Evolve currently uses the 3 bars with multiple pages system, we can certainly pass along feedback about alternate layouts or additional bar options for consideration. UI scaling and more granular control over specific UI elements is another good point, especially with larger group sizes. Screen real estate can get tight in 16 player content, and while some windows can be moved or hidden, that’s not always practical, particularly for healers who need constant visibility. Adjustments like scaling or resizing individual elements would be a meaningful quality of life improvement if feasible. We’ll share this feedback with development so they can take a look at what might be possible within the existing UI framework. Thanks again for the suggestions and for taking the time to explain how you use your UI. Orton Evolve Community Manager

Came back to SWG a couple of weeks ago and whilst doing afk things on Legends I was looking around to see what else I could do and stumbled upon Evolve. It peaked my interest with the combination of CU/NGE with QOL features and whatnot so made an account and now I'm here. Just finished the Elder buff collection and working my way back to having my TKM build that I was suggested. I'm not really tank material in that sense but going with it for now, it's been fun for the few hours I've been here. Hope to see you all ingame across the galaxy! Cheers! Welcome to Evolve, and thanks for the great introduction. It’s always awesome to see players who experienced Live and other servers giving Evolve a try. The CU and NGE blend with added quality of life is exactly what we’re aiming for, so it’s great to hear that’s what caught your interest. Congrats on finishing the Elder buff collection, and welcome back to the grind. TKM can be a lot of fun, even if tanking isn’t usually your thing, and there’s always room to adjust builds as you settle in. Hopefully we’ll see you around in game across the galaxy. If you have any questions or feedback as you play, don’t hesitate to reach out. Enjoy your time on Evolve. Orton Evolve Community Manager

Crafted my 35's now - I went for Luck/Strength/Block Value and exotics: Polearm Damage/Healing Potency/Block Chance. Wasn't too sure if that was the way to go or not but it felt safer to do it like that for now. Can always make more if need be.
