Ok Im still trying to digest all of this so if I get this wrong Im happy to learn more.
Encumberance experimentation is or the need to do is being removed because mitigation from profession mastery makes it irrelavent. IE once I master Commando I can wear my Assault armor with little or no penalty. However I understand that adding more layers or somehow the combination can still make it slow you down more than the "standard version?
More importantly on the isue of all armor being the same. With resource changes and increased amounts as well as the single crafting line I can see where thats coming from. However all armor the same doesnt seem quite right. I mean stats wise they may be very similar but utility may mean ever more to the combat classes.
The new system of elemental damage types ( elemental? Is this dungeons and dragons? Acid is not one of the elements on the periodical table) could greatly affect what armors are desired?
I dont think the single crafting line is a good idea by any stretch of the imagination. I wish they would have made something else that was part of the equation when they took one away.
Thoughts?

yeah tons of people (myself included) are upset with a lot of the changes. Whether or not the layers thing is true i dont know as i havent been able to get on TC-ep3 today. (just got novice AS on TC the other night)
haha oh and i know its knitpicky, but where did you see heat, or cold on the periodic table? Maybe they should add in Boron, Uranium, Sodium, and Iodine as the elements

If you take hydrogen and split it into a electron and a proton.....you have the partical that caries eletricty in the electron. And free protons (H+) make for acid or low pH. This actualy makes more scence than energy, kinetic and heat. All three realy being words for the same thing. Only difference bettween the three is how thay are ordered or entropy. Cold only being the lack of two of the three.
I am glad thair is a post ware I could get this out of my system

In a previous thread in another room I suggested addingfourth experimentation line called "hinderance." Every armor in the game should have some type of negative modifier to either Speed of attack or To hit bonuses. These negative modifiers should be based on what type of armor; light medium heavy and so on...kinda like D&D, this would make the weaing of armor as real as the system of how it is crafted. Hinderance experimentation line should be based on UT. In this this, I believe the Dev's will achieve their goals and make AS's including myself happy, by not taking away experimentation, giving us something else to play with and nuetralizing the inundated uber armor market thats made the game almost seem supernatural.

your on a posting rampage today Wook 
and i think you hit the nail on the head with what AS want in regards to experimentation

Rampage....I know. Im sick of everyone complaining and not helping to find a solution that is acceptible to both parties: DEV's and AS's. Remember ladies and gents we have a say in this too.
