the game you knew is changing.

adapt or leave.

This is the kind of stuff I love to hear. I am so for a CU, this game desperately needs it, but man, did they screw our jobs making armor.

Okram - how long do you plan on being on tonight? I can definitely join ya later, and will be happy to assist you.

there is no more weapon certs , the ability to wield a specific weapon is based on the level of the gun when you examine it , and the level your character is .

wow, I guess it really is going the EQ way.... I just thought people were angry.

Yea..its a whole new world. I spent a good week playing every night on TC5. Got to where I could wear armor and found out quickly that armor is nothing more thanlow poweredlong lastingSythsteak. Logged off after that and havn't returned since.

being that synthsteak will only reduce damage by about 10%, your quote isnt exactly accurate.

I will adapt or leave once all chances to make it better have passed. I won't just accept everything I see just yet. Sure..No Krayts, no NS and no stormies without a group, but it would be nice if the scaling was changed so that my effective unarmored range was my LvL +5, but with armor it was my level +10. Its really not fun running around an adventure planet hoping to stumble across LvL21-23 lairs. It would be much more fun if I had a wider range like LvL21-LvL31 with the help of armor.

once this is up i'll get some info on how current armor converts to the new system.

Cool, I was hoping they'd do this.

What sorts of armour do you stock? It's unlikely, but I may have some different comp builds that would give us some more information. I have low-HAM low-base Kinetic Comp, high-base no-special comp, high-base low-stun comp, and high-stun comp. Also a moderate range of pre-sliced stuff, which may or may not add more information.

I confess, I've lost any motivation I had for this, but if you PM me when this is available, I still check the boards regularly.

I will also make a point of logging on and making my structures, resourcesand factories available for testing. I'll post a separate thread asking for someone to coordinate this - I just need one or two names to put on admin, then the AS community can manage it from there.

Will you post something on the Bria forum, asking other AS's to help out with this? The more stations and factories are available, the better everyone will be able to use this copy for some real testing with representative 'current' AS resources.

yea, i'd like to see how those 4-5k dmg t21s will convert

I'm downloading the patch as we speak, should be in in 10 minutes.

Ill be on in a few hours. PLease post your results and what you are working on and I will try and do some testing this evening.
