Armorsmith Archive

This is NOT an upgrade!!! This is a total re-write of SWG. How is it possible that the development team could do this without ever even letting us know. STOP LYING TO US!!! MOST OF US ARE IN COLLEGE OR HAVE COLLEGE DEGREES. YOU AND YOUR GAME ARE NOT SMARTER THEN US. WE SEE THROUGH YOUR BS!!!

This in effect is an attempt by the development team to start this game from scratch...after 2 years of apparent "live" beta testing, they have rewritten the game. After the "little upgrade" what will be left of the old game, the planet names???

Armor now requires OQ+UT+DR- SR is out and after searching through 43 million units of resources I have 1.6 millon of any value

Scaley hide is now to be used for Assault Armor (basically replacing wooley as the main hide)

17 different kinds of hide or whatever...who gives a crap!!!!!Who was it that actually wanted more types of armor AT THE EXPENSE of all of this??? (Again we are not stupid, don't tell me that this is a great thing, or I need to specialize)

I started to read this till my eyes started bleeding after seeing the big red font

no matter what they do, I will prosper in the new system

Nah he is right, so they pushed a messed up game out to fast, now they are being made to push out this to fast as well. We have lived in this system long enough to work it, new/real content would have helped alot, not like the nerfed right away jtl crap, but something good. I hope that the CURB is worth while because honestly we PAYED to beta this game for them for 2 years.

Well...I see where it is easy to get angry about all this, but I refuse to do so.

I had alot of fun for 2 years and I thank the devs and SOE in part for that.

But just like a bad sequal to a good movie, I'll save my money and go see a completely new movie instead.

I had high hopes for this sequal...I even thought it was dam good when I first started testing it.After playing for 5 nights straight now on TC5, than seeing what is in store for Jedi and now this,

my wiener has now retracted back into its travelling position. I'm not jumping ship yet...but im beginning to inflate the liferafts.

Thanks...

I'm 30% happier now...but who knows what tommarow will bring...LOL

Friggen rollercoaster...

Eeeeasy there fellas (And fellow'ets). The devs are not your enemy. Blixtev said it was because it made more sense at the time, and he was willing to look it over again with the outroar against it by armorsmiths everywhere.

This is a beta stage, while we may get angry about proposed changes (Sure, I did too) it is uncalled for untill the devs actually say "Hell no, why should we listen to you?". There is no reason to go off your hinges because of this. Help find a solution instead.

Let me just say one thing.

Although i agree - why change the resources?

I also have20-40 mil of useless resources if this goes to plan .

I hope not, but things do change. Remeber it's still in test stage.

I for one have crafted every piece of armour you can in game apart from a full suit of Mandolarian- For obvious reasons .

I think it would be good to start again . I would look forward to the challange !

Thorgrime .

Yeah, what he said. I support Armorsmiths in their disappointment, but jeez, enough with the hysterics.

There would be a positive side effect of changing resources. Yes, it would be painful for those with large amounts invested in existing resources... But it would allow new people to enter AS with some chance of putting up a competitive product. I realize that existing a'smiths could care less about that, but it is a consideration. Im not ranting here by any means, but take myself for instance - Ive done every crafting prof with the exception of AS, and one major thing that has held me back was that the resource stockpiles I have for the most part to not translate well into AS, and that deterred me from doing it, since ive always crafted for fun and friends and rarely have over 500k creds, so i dont have the capital to aquire the top notch resources that would allow me to craft an excellent product. Looking at the CU im considering taking up AS since it could possibly allow for a new AS to produce a competitive product. Im not saying this is how it should be, but in any constructive debate, you MUST consider viewpoints other than your own, and not automatically assume that your viewpoint is the superior one. I do believe that it is a shame thata new crafter has little chance of creating a sellable product in AS/WS becuase of the fact that many have stockpiles of best-ever spawns, and the amount of money in the economy leaves nearly no market share for budget-priced or mid-grade items. There was a entry-level market like that around eisley when all new players started there, but having scattered the noobs to the wind, that market was mostly destroyed.

and it seems to me in my non-as experienced opinion that making more than a single product viable for sale (comp) is a good thing overall. Not if you are narrowly tuned into pure comp production, but from a game perspective, it makes for better gameplay if AS can practically sell more kinds of armor, and opens up the market somewhat by allowing AS to specialize in other armor types, making for a less saturated market.
