Developer BryantWood has just given us a new post on the official SWTOR forums about projected changes to Gearing at level 80 and the associated currencies slated to come in update 7.3!<\/p>\n
Hey Community!<\/p>\n
In patch 7.3, we will be making some changes in an effort to reduce the complexity of Gear Progression in the Legacy of the Sith expansion. I wanted to take some time to discuss these changes with you.<\/p>\n
Removal of Daily Resource Matrices<\/strong> Players won\u2019t need to do anything to prepare for this currency removal. During maintenance for the 7.3 patch all Daily Resource Matrices and their boxes will be converted into Conquest Commendations. You\u2019ll receive 1 Conquest Commendation for each Daily Resource Matrix.<\/p>\n More breathing room on currency caps<\/strong> Fewer currencies required to upgrade gear<\/strong> Flashpoint Gear Vendor:<\/em> Operations Gear Vendor:<\/em> PvP Gear Vendor:<\/em> Legendary Implants Vendor:<\/em> <\/p>\n These will not be the final changes to Gear and Progression, so please continue to send your constructive feedback on these changes and overall progression.<\/p>\n Gotta jet, Lonndar Eadwinn has something really interesting to show me and I\u2019m already late!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This thread will reopen for feedback once PTS goes live. We wanted to give everyone time to read over the changes first.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
\nDaily Resource Matrices, rewarded mostly from Daily and Heroic missions, are going to be removed and activities that used to reward DRMs will instead reward Conquest Commendations. This removal will also make it so players of PvP, Flashpoints, and Operations will no longer be required to play Daily or Heroic areas to upgrade their gear (more details on this later in the post).<\/p>\n
\nWe\u2019ve heard your feedback on the frustration currency caps cause and will be raising the weekly caps for progression currency as follows:<\/p>\n\n
