WHY THERE IS NO OTHER "AEGIS" DOFF except Gumarre?

kanonistiskanonistis Member Posts: 53 Arc User
I ve the same problem with many other Guys.
No Gumarre in my Rooster and not even 1 common Quality (maybe the common one i have put for Base Projects^^)...dosen t matter, why there is no possibility to obtain others?
The only toon i m able to craft Aegis is my Toon where allready have Tier 15 in Eng and Sci. All other Toons have 1 and some 2 but they do not have T 15 R&D!

Even the R&D Assistance from Academy havent give me one and i do request it immediate as possible with evry time the same result, no aegis Doff reward!

Cryptic, im able to progress ONLY 1 CHAR to lvl. 15 cause dilithium was not enough for all toons and im not willing to spend millions of EC to buy these Sets.
So, PLEASE (with cream topping) cryptic, give us a few more AEGIS Doffs, please or make them unbound, so i can transfer the others i have into my lvl 15 Char!

    Devs haven't taken the time to create R&D doffs not stuck behind a paywall (Xindi lockbox). You can get white doffs or Gumarra on rare occasions from the R&D requisition, and the white ones sell for a LOT. Messed up system in general.

    I love my Aegis set... which was crafted for each of my toons before the Crafting system revamp.

    Hate to say it: I knew posts like this were coming.

    For Aegis it is only the rare ferengi Gumarre.

    There are white quality crafting DOff's available for everything... except for crafting the Aegis set. And since you cannot craft the Aegis set without the Aegis DOff, well, you're screwed.

    Keep running the Academy R&D mission and maybe you'll get lucky enough to get one. I've been running it since new crafting hit and I've still only gotten 2, and I 'need*' 5 more.

    I wish there was some way to max out the old crafting system.


    *I say 'need' because I decided since I had plenty of alts, I would have the first 7 of them specialize in a school and I ran multiple projects a day while we could before the Devs "fixed" it. I got out to such a huge head-start that consolidating at that point didn't seem worth it. So I decided to continue specializing and taking that one school per alt to lvl 20 but also running the other schools to 15.

    It wasn't until about a month later that I found out that there was no common Aegis DOff and I would have to just get lucky and recruit Gumarre. I'm not even sure if there is a Purple Aegis DOff from the Xindi lockbox. (I don't believe there is) Eventually, I'll be able to craft the complete Aegis set on all 7 crafting alts. By that time, I hope to have a Gumarre on each of them.

    Of course, with it being completely random not just IF you get an R&D DOff, but also which one, it likely be that I'll have all the schools to lvl 15 and likely the specialization schools to lvl 20 before all my crafters get their own Gumarre.

    Set a man on fire and keep him warm for the rest of his life.

    Oh, and if you are lucky enough to get him, he is bound to character.
    Have you tried the new forum on your phone?

    yes bound on acquire... one of my alts got one... has zero R&D skills. Doing the R&D rec for Purple Drops... since elite is out of the question.

    So, what does the white shields R&D doff do? The level 15 shield project is the Aegis shield.

    Wait...does this mean even after spending the time to reach the appropriate crafting level the Doff I need to craft the Aegis gear is stuck behind a paywall? Really?!?!

    That sucks.

    You have basically summed up the crafting/upgrade system. Yes.

    So I am a little confused...

    What are so special about the white Doffs you get from "Request R&D Assistance" compared to the other blue / purple Doffs I have acquired from the Cluster and Asylum / Sanctuary Doff missions? If I wanted to craft some like an omni beam array weapon can I use one of my energy weapon Doffs or do I need on the of the "R&D Assistance" Doff to do that?

    There actually is a second Aegis DOff, Prof. Jefferson Hawk. Sadly, this DOff is only from the Xindi Lockbox and is character bound on pickup.

    At this point, I've not just given up on crafting the Aegis set, I've given up on crafting and upgrading altogether. Things like this just show me that the crafting revamp was poorly thought through and now that it's live, they aren't showing a lot of initiative in improving it. Which they should.

    *IF* someday the Devs actually look at one of these threads and see the problems people are having AND actually decide to fix these problems, perhaps I'll give crafting another shot. Until then I will just buy what crafted gear I can off the exchange.

    Less hassle that way.

    Actual screenshot of the DOFF that nobody believes exists. Its from the Xindi lock box.
    Can't get an Aegis R&D Doff, run the Academy R&D mission, there is more than just whites
    there.

    And for the paywall comment... you cant use a comment about having to spend cash on game
    where every form of the currency in game is available to all, for either time and effort or real cash.

    You got lucky OP writer. If you get level 1 in one of your R&D schools you get the Rare Aegis Doff for you entire account. Now just get all of your account toons up to R&D level 15 in Engineering, Science and Shields and you can get the Ultra Rare Aegis Tech Set. This can be done because all of the special tech that you can research can be transferred between toons on your account.
    I just today (4/15) started an Aegis engine project and dedicated two 25% boosts to it and got an Ultra Rare outcome, and I am only at Engineering level 16.

    Hate to burst your bubble, but only the Delta Recruit gets the DOff rewards from reaching lvl 1 in crafting.

    The account unlocks for crafting are simply R&D packs containing materials and components, there are no DOff's with them.

    If you actually did get account wide DOff unlocks then you got a bug, one that benefits you, so I would keep quiet about it. :)



    Also, necro thread blah blah blah...

    because they had to create a mechanic that would allow those who had trained to craft the set, to still be able to craft it after the change in the crafting system.

    the alternative to gumarre, for those of us that hadnt done aegis before, would have been the need to level 3 schools to 15 in order to craft the full set.

    just running the R&D mission, whenever its was cd, was a better idea imo, ok so it still cost dilithium to do it, but the overall return wasnt too bad at all.

    thinking about it, allowing people to buy a doff to craft the aegis set would have created a proper 'poo storm' back then.

    I been running this mission for almost a year now on several chars. One of them is almost all his schools to level 15. Still have yet to get this drop. If I had none I would of gotten the old style crafting done before the change. This is getting old that there is one real source to get this DOFF to do any of the Aegis items.

    In 384 runs of request RD assistance mission, I got Gumarre 9 times. So I would say he's relatively frequent drop, compared to other doffs you can get.

    The quick-and-dirty "partial" solution to this would be to simply keep Gumerre from being BOP. I mean, why not let people sell their bonus Gumerres if they so desire?
