Canderous Ordo gear?

HAs there been an update on his gear levels??? Because 7 and 8 are the same, and include raid gear. I want to gear him up, but should I wait?

    Yep. They said his gear requirements were planned this way. So it’s WAI and you can safely gear him.

    ;)

    @CG_SBCrumb can we get some clarification on this? Working as intended or design oversight?

    His 10-11 gear requirements are pretty low, btw.

    While I can see him requiring raid gear to get to G8, I have to wonder about the identical nature of his road to G8 and 9. Unless something new was posted, the WAI was requiring raid gear to get to G8. Not requiring the same thing in the same slot to get to both gear 8 and gear 9. As far as I can tell, that has not been addressed.

    Both aspects are WAI was the message I was given. 7 and 8 being the same and being the first toon to have such gear at 7.

    Best thing to do is not gear him, if enough people dont , maybe they will reconsider, especially as he is at best an average toon, and if this goes through, imagine the gear requirements for good toons.

    Stay on topic , there are plenty of threads on the calendar, this is about the ridiculous gear requirements for ordo. Unless you are purposely trying to get the thread closed.

    Strange they share the info on a personal level instead of communicating to an entire community.

    Not even sure why this is a thing. Yeah, g7/8 are rough, but his total gear set is honestly really tame

    Thanks Kyno. Last I saw your post where you were only told about the first part. Good to know about the quirk of the identical gear. I am sure it's another one of the famous RNG happenings.

    they probably realised that half the kotor characters were not geared beyond 8, hence no raid gear being required (no "bottleneck"). therefore, in order to keep community uproar to a minimum, the next legendary journey or whatever with canderous ordo as a required toon will again only need low gear (just like JKR) instead of being massively difficult, as these characters will require a tight farm (or cash). gear 8 never really needed raid gear so i guess making raid gear a requirement for gear 8 increases the potential revanue able to be generated from this toon.

    Don't shoot the messenger tactic

    People would complain to Crumb about it but you can't complain to Kyno because he's not working for CG or has any say in it

    This is exactly what it is and it’s absolute garbage. They’re afraid to show their faces here and explain it...

    So the community manager takes time to answer one person privately instead of taking the same amount of time to answer the whole community publicly.....#facepalm
