Well since you need to salvage those to get the Core Elements with the new upgrade system i don't see the drama that it doesn't stack.
well, if you have equipped mods in decent amount (like 42.3 mods x 12) , you better Salvage rest of 'em since mod upgrade has different system. when you salvage, you get Core Elements which is R&D comp needed to get .4 mods
Flashpoint mods and crafting is by far the worst, a nightmare to this day. That is something that can arguably make you do that. Probably had its outrage back then, when it was the latest ep. ... Doom mods are a delight compared to that.
Base mods just need to be like origin mods. Add stuff to it and it increases its level. Simple and non convoluted.
Yeah, but that's like which would you prefer. Wading through sludge water or stepping in dog poop. Neither are enjoyable. I don't understand why we can't just have it like the system we have for augments and artifacts. Where we get the mod component as a drop and feed it to the slot. It would work like Origin Augments and we could swap between them.
