Armorsmith Archive

I read on another post, the Devs should give some reason or vision for the CH. I completly agree with this.

I hate to say this, but I like the idea holocron mentioned as far as changing some of the pets around.

Don't get me wrong I believe the pets armor should not be tampered with at this time, but if they are going to mess with Pets, then change an arm2 cl lvl or change stats of other animals to reflect more damage less armor.

Also, I believe this was bad timing on the Devs part. They should of not mentioned taking away armor rating right now. The Ch field has continually been slapped in the face with nerf after nerf not knowing what exp you made the other day will help you tommorow. If they want to make changes as such to armor wait and anounce it when you change everything else around. Let the Ch users have some time to breath and we can work together on being constructive towards making this a better game. Instead of just quitting and you SOE loosing money.

Why I say this is because, I am a swordsman, I would rather have a arm2 class pet, i could care less about the damage he does. ie my tank

Some play the field as a true Ch. They might want on tank but another pet with terrible armor but massive damage.

I think this is a good approach and resolution to the game.

Yes they do need to increase baby rates, up the CL to 100 for master,maybe add an chMission terminal where you get cash and exp for taming certain creatures.At least you would know where they are at instead of wandering aimlessly around looking for babies. I dont know but tand make the fields a little more desirable for the long haulers. Buth what I said above is not new.

My suggestion to you Holocron is answer some of these gripes before enraging the community on changing everyones pets. It is not like we can just go get another pet and transform our battle strategy we now have to wait several days for the new unknown tank pet to grow.

So what do you say, can we work together or does the sentiment of the boards go unheard and our voice is mute???

Thanks

Ch

Nerf us you say.
All the Developers do is treat our class as if we were some dog on the street for the longest time, and when we finally get fixed, we are supposedly going to be thrown back into the street because of a few people who complain.

Here is my own experience with with PVP as a Wookie Commando with FT IV and a FT that does about a max of 1070 dmg.

1. People dont realize there isa simple cure for Flame DOT, ethier run to water, or get DBed and clone. For pets, just store them.

2. Commandos have a 9 second delay between specials even at FT IV, that gives you guys plenty of time to find a BH to spam us with eye shot, or to find someone to KD us and dizzy.

3. From a distance we dont have a chance against a BH with Carbine, or a sharpshooter.

4. Our heavy weapons except the HBPC are useless in PVP. The HBPC actually gives a fair amount of wounds to secondary stats (Str, Cons, Quick, stam, etc..)

5. The TEF after a DB stinks cause after im kind enough to DB an enemy I killed, he clones and just runs right up to me and spams me with mind shot or KD.

Here are my own opnions.

1. The Flame Thrower should be doing the damage its done. I dont care what they say, if you are stupid enough to rush within 20m's of us, you deserved to be burned Beyond all recognition.

2. The Acid rifle should be just as powerful as the FT, I would imgaine someone being an un armored target getting doused with liquid acid would be in extreme great pain from thier skin, bones, and organs getting burned away by acid.

3. DONT FIX WHAT THE PVPer's WANT, FIX WHAT JOE SCHOME WANTS. On every server, the PVPers do not make the game, its the every day player who does. Its the guy who wants to hunt without getting monsters that warp at him from 64m away. Its the weapon maker whos sick of you messing up his resources, its the brawler who wants you to refix KD, etc... etc.. etc..

4. For godsakes, fix the rocket launcher, I would imagine that if you launched a rocket at an ATST it would do some damage, I mean the ewoks killed one with a coupla logs, why cant we doit with a rocket

5. BH this, BH that. BH's do not make the game go round. Its the weapon smiths, the chef's, the armorsmiths, the medics, the doctors, etc...every player contributes his role to the game. Yes I know almost every player ethier wants to be darth vadar orBobaFett, but it just isnt going to happen.

6. We are just fine except for the following problems IMHO:

A: Our class titles make no sense
B: Our LP has no specials
C: Our HW are worthless to Turrents and ATST's
D: Our FT causes an enemy to switch from Ranged attack to Meele attack
E: The prerequsite for unarmed is worthless

Seriously you guys, just because of a few players who reign supreme any more in PVP, you want to bring us right back down to where we started.

Thats just my 2 cents.

The FSS slot has to be available to anyone, regardless of profession or faction. If not, who is gonna be anything but what the first person to open the FSS slot is?

Badges - may count a little, but as some people can't do the second quest (true neutrals won't). And as shooting seems to be the main requirement for others, they can't count for much, as many professions don't have a combat orientation.

XP - total, maybe. Apprentice XP - saw something that said AXP was part of the equation.

Master of all - Nah, unless it goes for the XP total. Stupid idea in fact, besides, who wants to be a master of some of these jobs?

Holocrons - nope, too easy to get, or impossible to get for some, depending on the ones you are talking about, so they can't count for much.

Crystals - puh-lease... freaking lumps are dropping these, how rare can they be?

Quests - again, some people can't do em...

Okie doke, what's that leave ? How about luck?

You made a character, it either was or wasn't force sensitive, and at some point, by doing a large number of mundane, or a smaller number of special, tasks, the slot will open... or it won't as you ain't got one.

Personally, I could care less if I have a slot or not, would be nice, but I am not gonna devote countless hours to chasing it, it will happen or it won't.

But I want the rest of y'all to keep posting your insane theories and 'odd things' that ya find...nobles on the beach be real, they been there forever... I need the laffs

JB

And it will be some boob like you that will get a Slot

I think the Holocrons get harder and harder to get the further you go into getting them, until you finally piece together the entire thing.

Fellow BH's I am not new to the game but I am new to this forum, however here is my 2 cents. Only MBH's should be able to hunt Jedi. Let them keep their "gank squads" because jedi often run and the bounty hunter finds himself facing "gank squads" of their own. The only thing I wish I could see that would make jedi's breath a sigh of relief would be to let players post bounties for other players. That would make jedi happy because you can bet your ass if a BH killed them the bounty hunter would get a hefty price on their head and also this could be used as a tool to help the spiraling out of control economy. Here is a thought for the devs.

Let players post bounties for other players:

Make sure that one person can only place a bounty on the same person once a month so people can't be victimized by a bitter bazillionaire

Take a portion of the posted bounty and say that this is an imperial tax (damn empire)
As an example; A padawan in game gets whacked by a 10 man gank squad and the bounty hunter laughs at his cold dead body and taunts him while he lays there. The padawan is rightfully upset and goes to place a 1 million credit bounty on the BH for his treachery. Take 10% of the money posted and say it goes to the aforementioned imperial tax (when really it is just money leaving the galaxy) This way the treacherous BH gets his for being a d*ck and the padawan (who until recently was a very successful weaponsmith for like 10 months and has more money than he will ever use as a jedi) will have the satisfaction that the BH (and maybe some of the gank squad) will get what they deserve from some other scum BH like myself and everyone will be happy especially the BH who killed the other BH and got his 900,000 credits.

One of the problems with the economy besides the cheaters you guys caught and the solo/group nerf that was put in place, is that there is barely anything that takes money out of the economy besides veteran millionaires leaving the game. If money only comes into the economy and only leaves through player attrition these are the problems you are always gonna have.

Well sorry for my soapbox speach but I think this could help make everyone happy.

I like this game. I had to think to play it. crafting armour was the bomb. **how the hell do you get triple and quad 80 armour FFS**

I had to manage my health, mind and action. Doctors helped me with my health and action atributes. Dancers and chef's for my mind. I had to find a Weaponsmith to outfit my combat ability. I had to find an armoursmith to gather my protection. then I needed to find a smuggler to slice it the way I needed it. All these communities working together for one purpose. To help me survive in combat. It was maybe not there intention to help ME specifically, but they did.

When it all started, weapons, armour, food, buffs and most everything else had certain stats. and you guys as a community pooled your collective intelligence and made the stuff uber. even the Dev's admit they never intended for these products to have such outstanding. We are a smart community. Have you seen some the shops people put together. It is in it's entirety like a real store. I know this game is roleplaying, but good lord you guys are awesome. The time, the effort. It seems our game has taken a turn for the worse. professions in revolt. People saying they are cancelling their accounts.(their fervor makes me believe them this time.) Many times has it come up that "cancelling all my accounts" was just a way to ease tension and vent frustration. I would not like it if I left this game. I would not like it if my wife and I could not play our jedi's or my alt make armour. or her alt manage her shop. I am not here because I am uber. Most of you that have dueled me or faced me on the battlefield will know I am not uber. I play because it's fun. I have my friends. But I also will not stand by and watch it go to ruin. I will voice my opinion. I will be heard. and when, on May 5th, this game is not as it was or better. Then it is no longer fun. and I am no longer entertained. I could possibly adjust to the new system. But honestly, I have been considering something new lately anyway. I am not threatening SOE/SWG/Dev's with anything. It is simple for me, and I think for us, when it is no longer fun. I will walk away. You freakin people are some of the smartest folks I have ever seen. You make stuff in the game beyond what it was suppose to be. The guys from the jedi forums ripped the .tre files open and explained them to us jedi forcing the Dev's to make SonGmake a statement. You make macros that do everything. I like you guys. you have helped me on the boards from day one. and countless others I am sure. thanks.

it ain't over. nothin's over. was it over when the jedi bombed pearl harbour?
and it ain't over now...so who's with me...let's GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Paragraphs! Some nice points you got there though.

yeah, I wrote it in notepad and copied it over here. did not come out like it looked when I wrote it.
