it also looks like RIS armor will not be nerfed down after the combat balance, but composite will

Hahaha...I read all the answers.

That was a waste of time. No one is getting anything changed that's been asked about. The best I saw was it will be fixed/changed in 2-3 publishes from now.

I was a little surprised by some of the things that need to be fixed/changed, but got less than supportive answers. Some of the professions have serious detracting flaws.

To put my thoughts in perspective...I didn't think PSG shifting was that big of a deal. A little annoying...yes.

As far as RIS goes...read the reports from the Death Watch Bunker. Maybe that will make some feel better. It's difficult, but a hell of a lot better than Mando armor quest.

I will honestly say that was one of the worst 19questions and I know there have only been 2 so far...

But that was just sad..

First off anyone else tired of playing the space management game?? So resouces can not be changed to have stacks higher than 100k.... Wow talk about a joke... Sure a millions a bit high, but 500k stacks would make life so much easier..

RIS answer was a joke... IE Nah its never going to be a viable or useful armor... because no one can get the GDK scale... but we are not going to change that... Yet we are going to make combat "Balanced"

Mostly a complete waste of time for them to type that up and post it...

*rolls eyes*

RIS is a joke now, but after (if they do) they nerf composite, RIS might seem more desireable. If composite was nerfed to have only a make of 60% resists max and RIS was untouched by the nerf stick, then RIS would be a good armor to have. People would start making more of an effort to get the components and craft it.

I agree. I especially laughed at the part where he said schematics weren't supposed to go to 1000. What in the world are we supposed to do with schematic runs of 100 ?!?!!?!?!? WOOHOO!!!!! I just finished a HUGE factory run of 3 suits of composite.

He should have just said "Everything is going to be worked on in a future publish."

BTW RIS is NOT a joke. I have seen RIS with 0 HAM and 80% Kinetic. No good for PVP, but definitely not junk.

Oh well, at least I don't feel like such a tool for buying a GDK scale today for 6mil.

I doubt anyone will use RIS no matter how much the "rebalance" composite. Currently a composite set costs 200k- 500k. A RIS set costs 70 - 80 million.RIS as to be made much better before it is worth the cost compared to composite

RIS isn't supposed to be like composite. As TH said its Epic Quest armour, not something you pick up from a vendor whenever you feel like.
