Progression Changes coming in 7.5.1

Hey Community!

As we continue through the Legacy of the Sith expansion, we want to make further adjustments to improve the experience of our gear progression. Patch 7.5.1 will contain adjustments to increase reward choice and give more opportunities for progression.

More Choice in your Rewards
To help players progress towards Artifact gear, we’re going to increase the choice of rewards from missions. Players will be able to choose between the Upgrade Caches or more currency.

• Veteran Flashpoint Weekly missions will reward an Elite Decurion Upgrade Cache or an additional 130 FP-1 Stabilizers.
• Master Flashpoint Weekly missions will reward a Supreme Decurion Upgrade Cache or an additional 310 FP-1 Stabilizers.
• Daily and Heroic Area missions will reward a Noble Decurion Distribution Chest or 25 FP-1 Stabilizers.
• Story Operations Weekly missions will reward a Tionese Upgrade Cache or 70 OP-1 Catalysts.

More Opportunities to Get Stronger
We want to support players making more progress each week. We’re going to increase the amount of times our [WEEKLY] Missions can be completed and increase the weekly progress caps on our progression currency.

• Flashpoint Weekly missions can be completed 4 times per week
• Daily and Heroic missions can be completed 3 times per week
• Story Operations missions can be completed 4 timer per week

We’ll also be increasing the availability of Operations missions, allowing more choice in which Operation you run each week.

• Operation weekly mission rotating eligibility has been removed. All [WEEKLY] missions are now available from the Operations Terminal on the Fleet ships.

Weekly Progress currency caps will be increased to go along with these changes.

• FP-1 Stabilizer will have a Weekly Progress cap of 4,000 (up from 3,000)
• OP-1 Catalyst will have a Weekly Progress cap of 3,000 (up from 2,000) 

Trade for Better Rewards
Along with the choice for currency instead of Upgrade Caches, we’re going to be adding a way for players to convert their Upgrade Caches to better gear. 

• Trade 3 Elite Decurion Upgrade Cache and credits for 1 Supreme Decurion Upgrade Cache
• Trade 3 Supreme Decurion Upgrade Cache and credits for 1 Rakata Upgrade Cache
• Trade 3 Tionese Upgrade Cache and credits for 1 Columi Upgrade Cache
• Trade 3 Columi Upgrade Cache and credits for 1 Rakata Upgrade Cache

As always, we’ll continue to monitor feedback around gearing and itemization!

Catch you later, I have to gear up for the new Lair Boss!
 

Hey Players!

As you may have noticed, with the release of 7.5.1 we made some adjustments to this initial plan based on your feedback and keen eyes. I want to list those changes for you and also give you a heads up of more changes we will be making in an upcoming patch.

Changes released with 7.5.1:

• 3 Supreme Decurion Upgrade Cache can upgrade to 1 Columi Upgrade Cache, not Rakata Upgrade Cache as accidentally stated.
• Revised mission rewards for Story, Veteran, and Master Operations:
  • Story Operations now grant a choice of 1 Tionese Upgrade Cache or 40 OP-1 Catalysts (reduced from the originally listed 70 OP-1 Catalysts).
  • NEW: Veteran Operations grant a choice of 1 Columi Upgrade Cache or 130 OP-1 Catalysts.
  • NEW: Master Operations grant a choice of 1 Rakata Upgrade Cache or 340 OP-1 Catalysts.

Additional changes in an upcoming patch:

• We’re adding a new [WEEKLY] mission for The R-4 Anomaly on Story and Veteran mode. This mission will act like the current weekly operations missions.
• PvP players can now convert 3 Thrysian Upgrade Caches to 1 Columi Upgrade Cache.
• The following missions now grant players a choice of 1 Thyrsian Upgrade Cache or 80 additional WZ-1 Accelerants:
  • [WEEKLY] Galactic Starfighter
  • [WEEKLY] Go Berserk!
  • [WEEKLY] The Spoils of War

Thank you for giving us your feedback on these gearing changes, and I’ll see you in the queue!
