Armorsmith Archive

It really shows a lack of forsight that the DEV's didn't see the current state of armorsmithing comming. If your system allows people to make 90% resist armor, it will be made. Just because you didn't see much during beta or during the early months dosen't mean its not going to happen. Yeah the combat system is broken and needs a huge overhall, but HELLO, if your system allows something you should assume it will be done. I don't care if they didn't intend for composite to become the best armor, it has, and for entirely forseeable reasons. All other armors have protection deficiencies that make them useless in anything outside of most creature killing. Why would people use something worse when there is a better option? Yes, I assume 90% resist comp is throwing off their current balancing efforts, but they should have seen this comming. If it can be done it will be done, the DEV's seem to have forgotten this.

Finally! it is about time they are doing this, the Armor system is completely messed up, I mean everyone knows to make good composite you expiriment the base instead of the specials right, but for some reason that doesnt work with ANY OTHER ARMOR that I have made, So... Is all armor supposed to be like that? or is Composite NOT supposed to be like that, it is only one or the other? if you look at this rationally it makes sense, sure it is going to make alot of people mad, but in truth I dont think there is any change they can make without pissing someone off, also this doesnt hurt armorsmiths so much as it hurts the combatants, they will still be buying armor... Nerfed or not. So face it, the System is messed up and it should, nay NEEDs to be changed.

As for the armor not being Star Wars, I dont want to hear about it, Stormies had armor, Boba had armor, armor protects, but because of 2.4k buffs it isnt encumbering enough.

As for no combat medics, sheesh everyone knows that all MMOs need a spellcasting class (so to speak) in this it is the combat medic, although they should tone it down some.

As an armorsmith I dont see this as a bad thing. They need to have a use for all the armors not just composite. And as far as someone saying jedi robes or any other armor ugly I have to chuckle. Composite is the worst I think in looks..well the helmet anyway..always makes me think of an ant eater

No no no, you're not seeing this from the right perspective. It's not composite nerf, it's R.I.S improvement!

I think that they should just let Imp AS craft St armor with stats equal to Composite if they feel that everyone running around in comp ruins the feel of the game.

Who cares if people solo stuff,it's fun and this is a game after all. When you log on and feel more like you are going to a second than playing a game something is wrong.

They are also going to lower EVERYONE's damage output.

im not really sure how i feel about this...guess ill just wait and see how it turns out

Crap. I hate this idea.

I need to have more info on what exactly they plan on doing though.

One this is for sure, I will not be happy if all of my schematics, segments, and armor are turned into useless rubish. At least grandfather the pre-nerf stuff in.
