    Recalibration before or after update 1.6

    I wanted to start a skill power, stamina build but remember you can only recalibrate one stat on everything with only one or two times at best so I just used a basic balanced build for everything. Now with 1.6 you get an unlimited amount of recalibrations. Basically I'm asking if I should wait till 1.6 to recalibrate gear as of right now? also will you be able to recalibrate every stat on gear after the update or did I read that wrong?

    You will still be restricted to picking one stat on each piece for recalibration. The change is that the recalibration cost for that stat will cap out at the 5th try and stop increasing exponentially.

    Hi,

    We've included some more information about Recalibration with the second iteration of the PTS.

    With all these changes to Gear stats, here are the details of how existing gear should convert with this update.

    • It is important to note that “new bonuses” will not all be available on existing gear when recalibrating. Some will be automatically changed, others will be available when recalibrating, and others won't be available at all. A more detailed list will be published later.
    • If you had a native Armor bonus (not recalibrated), it will be turned into health.
    • If you had a recalibrated Armor bonus, the recalibration will reset and you will be back to the initial bonus when the item was acquired.
    • If you had a native Health bonus (not recalibrated), it will be turned into All Resistance.
    • If you had a recalibrated Health bonus in Kneepads, the Health roll will remain.
    • If you had a recalibrated Health bonus in Chestpiece and no native armor roll on this piece, the Health roll will remain.
    • If you had a recalibrated Health bonus in Chestpiece and a native armor roll on this piece, the recalibration will reset as you would otherwise end up with 2 Health bonuses.
    • If you had a recalibrated Health bonus in any other Gear Piece, the recalibration will reset.
    • If you had a recalibrated Skill Haste bonus on your backpack, the recalibration will reset
    • If you had a recalibrated Pistol Damage bonus on your holster, and the holster was acquired after update 1.5, the recalibration will reset
    • If you had a recalibrated Enemy Armor Damage or Damage to Elite and the item was acquired after update 1.5, the recalibration will reset
    • All recalibration on Exotic weapons will reset
    • Unique talents on Exotic weapons cannot be recalibrated
    • Free talents on Exotic weapons that don’t have a Unique talent (Liberator, Centurion, Eir and Hildr) can be recalibrated
    • Note that when a recalibration resets, the money spent will be reimbursed, based on the recalibration costs of Update 1.6. Since recalibration now has a cost cap, if the initial recalibration costed more, you will only be reimbursed according to this cap. Note that recalibrations will not be reimbursed on the PTS as recalibrations cost 0.

    Please note that some of this might change, as this is still work in progress, but it should give you a general idea.

    It all depends on how much you spent, though. You'll only be getting some of your credits back thanks to the new cap. For example, if this new cap in patch 1.6 was set to 5 million credits and you've spent an amount closer to 50 million credits on one of your gear items, you're only going to see 5 million returned to you. I don't know what the actual cap will be, but I do know that this is a fairly lazy approach on the developers part.

    Hopefully they'll do the right thing and give people ALL of their credits back. I know I'll certainly be needing them in order to re-recalibrate everything I own. Please note that none of this stems from a sense of entitlement, but rather the simple philosophy of right versus wrong. I'll be more than happy to hear the arguments of those who'll no doubt defend Massive's decision on this matter after reading this post lol.
