I moved it here since at the time I wasn't sure whether it was intended and incorrect in the notes, or a bug. To the bug report forum it goes to be investigated .

#2 Gear Drops on Non-Final Bosses in Master Mode Ops Contradict Patch Notes

Also in this thread it was stated:



However this is not the reality for non final bosses in Master Mode Ops. As stated here, elsewhere, and in personal experience that is not true. Those bosses are dropping an assembled random blue or purple assembled piece that can be for any class even if that class is not present in raid. That's not even counting the fact that 244 or 246 can't be upgraded via PvP and 244 has inferior mod and overal same as HM 242. Not to mention there are no vendors for them even if they were unassembled.

So Devs can you either clarify this or fix it. Either have them drop 246 or just make them all drop 248 in NiM preferably the latter as you you can get BiS by doing HM Ops and upgrading via PvP; also it make the system less convoluted. Please don't repeat 4.0 with another NiM loot debacle. Thanks.
After talking with the team, currently this is my error in the patch notes. It is intended that non-final bosses are dropping Prototype and Artifact gear (not unassembled, which is my error). However, given the feedback of this thread (and the one you linked) the team is looking at improving this experience in the future.

Apologies for the confusion. I will let you know of any potential changes to this in the future and I will get the patchnotes updated.

#2 cant switch sides on iokath

Hey folks!

I have some information about not only the issue, but also when we are planning to get it fixed. Let's talk about current functionality:
  • If you have an Iokath Daily or Weekly Mission in your log you will be unable to change Factions.
  • If you have completed a Daily Mission on Iokath, you will be unable to change Factions for the remainder of that day.
  • **The Bug** If you complete a Weekly Mission on Iokath, you will be unable to change Factions for the remainder of that week.

That last bullet is a bug and is not intended. We are in process of getting this issue fixed for GU 5.2.1 which is coming next Tuesday, May 2nd.

Thanks everyone.

I've seen many of them! I realize the clock is ticking and information never comes fast enough. In the meantime, I'm ensuring the Roadmap is solid and expect it will address many questions, but not everything. Yet, hopefully, we can have additional dialog to provide clarity for areas of concern.

Hey folks,

Following on some of the back-end updates we made this morning, we need to perform a brief server restart. This restart will be happening shortly and will last until 4PM EDT (approximately 30 minutes).

I will post in this thread when the servers are live once again. This only affects east coast servers.

Thanks everyone.

Any Updates about the Roadmap ?

Hey there, never is way too long of a time! So, how about I include an update about class balance in the Roadmap or sooner if I have it available? We're still working on the details and then it'll go through the normal internal review cycles. Once we are all in agreement, we'll get the Roadmap posted up and then we can discuss the various upcoming changes.
