would it be possible to make them a repeatable collection like the ships parts collections?

Pistols got a very nice review and in a decent place with the right build. Rifles are decent if you know how to use them effectively. Heavy Weapons...well, they're just fine as is.
But what about the carbines? Carbines have always been a great medium of sustained and spike damage for the player who typically likes a challenge on when to push and when to hold. But currently carbines are feeling pretty weak in the damage department. Even with Master Combat Medic it can still be countered easily, because carbines get most of their damage through DOTs.

"But Hellion, we just got DOT mod bits in the new content!" Correct. But with the testing I did on TC it was still pretty meh. And DOTs are easily removed. What I'm suggesting (for now) is a look at the expertise points. Pistols get a +32 damage bonus. Rifles get +12. Carbines also get +12.

***-Increase carbine damage from +3 pps to +6 pps ***

Relentless Onslaught. Is basically useless as it stands. With all the ACR available in the game, you don't need it. I suggest a full rework of the ability. Something like:
***-Increase DOT damage by 50% for 10 seconds, 45 second cool down.
-Increase carbine damage 30% for 30 seconds, 60 second cool down.
-DOTs applied while active can not be cleansed/removed. 20 second up time, 60 second cool down. ***
***-Provides a chance to hit twice with carbines (similar to hammer fan) but only while buff is active. ***

So remake Tansarri to be a quest stream lined instance that is challenging but meant to be solo'd. Allowing for the collections(Dust Durni Ect) to be collected, Tansarri Badges able to be obtained and a token for completion that has a vendor for mid game 5* sets potentially (they would be weaker versions of the OG Heroics jewelery) that are easier obtained for new players that are running solo with no guild that need that one up to do better in OGs when they get the opportunity.

Make a Token for Bio-Engineers, when they make a pet they get 5 or 10 tokens. These tokens can be used to buy Rare DNAs(but not too rare) and a Sarlacc trash can style item that you can turn in lets say 5 to 10 Isomerase Enzymes that are low quality ( less then 78%, will be explained below as to why) and in turn youll get 1 Isomerase of 78-85% in turn. This makes almost all looted isomerase enzymes that everyone deletes worth at least something. Next i propose an Enzyme Manipulation 5*. This will give the wielder the ability to one time radial menu an enzyme and increase its quality. I.E Isomerase you would have a chance to get a random increase of 1-10% increase in quality, Lyase would be an increase of 1-5 and hydros would be 1-3 M/P(Potency/Mutatigen). Lastly a new addition of appearance Mutations/Color options for existing appearance mutations and they would be kept secret and needed to be discovered. This would be a nice revive to a pretty known system that has lost its excitement.

Making versions of crafting jewelry that are bought with normal heroic tokens that CAN BE TRADED! The harder obtained ones i feel should be easier to trade and sell using normal heroic tokens.

Greetings!

I've been enjoying the Hard Modes very much so, its opened a path to theory crafting new build ideas and ways to handle the various challenges and has made for some awesome fun times, hilarious shenanigans and a great deal of community engagement.

Here's the elephant in the room. Jewelry loot crates drop rate % (assuming 1.8% drop chance based off an estimation of 20~ HM completions and 3x crates existing thus far) and average time to completion of a single set based off of 18 total mobs (bosses/experiments etc.) capable of rolling the drop meaning full clear all 3 Hard Modes every day with an estimated 2% drop chance as well as a 1 in 36 chance per crate to get a item for your desired "set". I put this information into a robot and here are the statistics, please keep in mind that this doesn't include people sharing/selling their crates/loot. just raw drops and acquisition comparison. Calculations based on completing a desired 3pc set.

Current model: RNG only — all bosses roll at drop rate full clear
Avg crates/sweep - 0.360
Your crates/sweep - 0.0450
Avg sweeps (personal) - 1467
Median weeks - 183.7 weeks (3.5 years)

If the final boss was guaranteed to drop 1 crate:

Guaranteed drop model: Final boss of each HM always drops 1 crate Full Clear all 3, every day, say 3 hours for all 3 or 21 hours a week
Avg crates/sweep - 3.360
Your crates/sweep - 0.4200
Avg sweeps (personal) - 157
Median weeks - 19.4 weeks (4.3 Months)

From a general player perspective, even with adding a guaranteed drop to the final boss, the grind would still be rather insane, being more realistic and saying ~9 hours a week or 3x complete runs a week with a guaranteed drop from end boss equates to 45 weeks (10 months on average, doesn't include those of us with shit luck) for 3pc set completion.

I understand this is a touchy subject as loot is involved, rather powerful loot i might add and all other loot IMO should remain at its current value (maybe junk loot gets a little increase), the below update suggestions would pertain only to jewelry crates:

• Move to Guaranteed Drop from each end boss

• brings the grind down from years to months

• Add a HM Token drop to last boss for all players 1x token per instance clear

• gives incentive to running them if bad luck strikes you down

• Add HM vendor to purchase crate.

• Crate RNG still applies, economy will continue to grow as participation continues since there is no guaranteed "buy the one you want"

• Crate costs 4 tokens

• At 4 tokens per crate to purchase, assuming 3x full clears each week or 9 tokens a week plus above mentioned changes moves the average time to completion for a single set to 11 weeks. still nearly 3 months, but I'm trying to adjusting this to account for the economy as well as we have 8 characters and my assumption is most people may like to get more than 1 set or the same set for multiple toons.

Love you all, and thank you for the amazing content to enjoy

So, I have no idea if this is in the realm of possibility as I do not know if a buff could impact space mining at all, but what about an entertainer buff for increased asteroid chunk yield, like the current Hand Sampling buff? If it is possible, perhaps as a new buff that could be purchased with entertainer tokens.

An alternative means of acquiring the proposed buff: a new 3 piece set, granting increased asteroid chunk yield, and lower chances for getting attacked by asteroid bandits while mining, Currency for this as trader tokens, but as some would have the tokens to immediately buy this, perhaps new token currency obtained from space mining at a fairly slow rate, or through some other new means that could be expanded upon in the future. Also another idea for means of acquiring: Space duty mission tokens. Unsure of what a good price would be, but certainly not a small amount.

Would not be a huge yield increase, but a little something extra to help ease a tedious task go a little quicker, 10-15% increase perhaps, and same percentage to lower chances of getting attacked if included?

No trade shared also

The Blackscale from Avatar and Kashyyyk are planning to take over the wookie homeworld.
THEY MUST BE STOPPED!

Our tool area is fantastic. I wanted to post something that might help our tool serve us better. Since we have a new Chef system where we can focus one side or another for specific results.. is it possible to slightly modify our Schematic section accordingly? If I wanted to make Citros Snow Cake, I will go find it and our tool shows the current resources that are currently best for it AND server best. Can we add and option to prioritize this? like I want a Flavor focused Citros Snow Cake which likes the FL stat 66% and the OQ at 33% so maybe an option or check box so we check that and uncheck the other option which is normally Nutritional Value and see what we have then! We need a FL column in the current resources section but the devs already know that since I mentioned it.

Is F.A.H. working correctly?
If I fill all the boxes up in AOE Force heal increase it still heals for the same 7318 which is the same amount if the boxes aren't filled.
Also has Mystics Force drain action been fixed?
Thanks

As the title states, Riposte chance doesn't really do anything right now (even in the boxes in battlemaster, or the shii cho form either).

However, it is also one of the stats on LS jewelry pieces, I would suggest changing the 1 Riposte chance on each piece to one of the following

1 strikethrough chance
5% chance to fast attack jedi strike (25% with 5 pieces)
1% armor neglect
1% LS damage
or
3% saber burst fast attack chance (15% with all 5 pieces).

This would help the set as a DPS jewelry set, and get rid of a currently wasted stat on the jewelry.

Hey hey, good morning Evolve! I've been hitting the new creature system hard, breeding, egg searching, etc. Had some things I was wondering is all.

Are there plans to allow CH to train skills? I was mainly thinking about the special ones like truffle pig, resource scavenger, etc.

It looks like all my pets, both from regular taming and egg searching, seem to have the same dps, armor, and some others. Are there plans to change that up at all?

So far, all my breeding attempts have resulted in roughly the same stats, but way lower than the parents. For instance, I bread a pair of Grauls. One parent had Is "Offensive Dodge reduction 6 and the other parent had "Offensive Parry Reduction 11. Both parents had 0 on all other stats. The egg that resulted ended up with "offensive Dodge reduction 4" and "offensive block reduction 7" with zeros on all other stats. The parry rating is also at 0 even though the parent had 11. Is this normal?

Quick edit about one more thing before I forget again lol... It seems that even though I click "guard", the pets will not attack unless I tell them to. I do get the popup for each pet stating it has been set to "defensive". Once I tell them to attack the first time, they* will usually automatically go after another aggroed target but, 3/4 of the time, only the first pet I called will attack. The other two will just run behind me and have 0 aggro even though the first pet is fighting. What I've been doing for now is face smashing the creature attack command and requiring me to have the target selected of course.

Ok, I think that's it. Sorry bout the wall of text lol.

Thanks y'all!

Just a thought for a form for jedi that comes from a hardmode holocron drop for Trakata. Make it ignore armor or defenses by X % and reduce cooldowns on a battlemaster saber ability maybe? Again not an official form but does exist in lore of star wars.

Just found out today that we now can select multiple items in our inventory to move them, awesome.

Suggestion could we get a non destructible pack to act as a trash can. Placed in our inventory so that we could just drag and drop garbage loot into it. When we are ready to delete all the items right click the pack and say delete all contents. Its contents before deletion would count against our inventory.

Saw it today, would highly recommend it if you've watched all the TV series!

This is not to be a hard fast rule for preparing to do Hardmodes but should give what I think is a general idea of what is needed. Sometimes all that is needed is another body so the instance can stay open.

First and foremost in Hardmode is the need to listen to the lead and those more knowledgeable of the content being handled. The content is designed for players to fulfill certain roles. You run off and do your own thing you put the team and yourself at risk of failure.
