Justify taking away RIS from someone that spent millions on it or spent hours collecting the resources. How about those using a particular type of armor they liked for over a year? What the hell is SOE thinking.? You just can't take away things that people have put alot of time into collecting or crafting.
***** Old armor no certs/ New armor has certs. Now isnt that alot easier than ticking everyone off? Brainless they are.

No, that would be brainless, because then everyone would run around in their ADK'ed comp armor.
Sorry, try again.

NO, they will adjust the armor so its not at 80% resist. Just make the old armor have lower stats and a general hinderance. They made Bounty Armor restricted to certain professions, why not the newer ones?

Sounds great!!! I'm going to go use every bit of my resources to craft thousands of pre-CU suits that anyone can wear!!!
I'm just glad that my pikeman can wear the armor I like to make the most. I do feel for all that people that can not wear their RIS that they spent millions on, but maybe they could actually wear them and use them now before the CU.....

I can understand your frustration, if you bought a suit of RIS and will no longer be able to use it after the CU. But, I support armor cert's. I like the idea that everyone will not be wearing the same armor. I do think it would be nice if looted armor was available for each class of armor, but I understand why this change was made. My suggestions is if your armor matters more than your profession, look at your choices and re-evaluate your profession, or try and sell your RIS and hope you can recoup your credits spent on it. I am a Master Smuggler / Master Pistoleer and I really don't like my choice for faction armor, so I am going to pickup some commando, just so I have a choice.

What a way to get rid of composite clones tho. You you and you, you're not allowed to wear it. But you, here's your cool looking armor. Hope the swordsman enjoy their bone armor.

I don't know enough background on this. Are you saying that all old suits are going to be no-cert, and that only newly crafted armor is going to carry certs period, or are you talking about how aAS will no longer be able to wear RIS? I am planning on haveing a suit of RIS made before the upgrade, and one made after, and i just wanted to know if i was setting myself up for failure.

Hahaha, so what you are saying, is that instead of the CU increasing the variety of armor, now it is just going to make all armor the same (or at least make all armor so it can be the same) and make the skins different? Wow, this takes lame to the next level. So is the RIS schematic gone then? Man I hope you are wrong.
Whew, if you like custom armor crafting, this is going to be the best thing ever. "Hey, i see you have some padded skin armor on your vendor. I want to custom order some armor that is X, Y and Z (some wierd combination of most likely the ugliest pieces possible). Haha, Armorsmiths are going to be the middle ground between BE and Tailor.

here is why they are taking RIS away
from what I gather (could be totally wrong) all RIS and ManDo will be taken apart at the CU. You will get a limited use schematic (or something to that effect) to make a RIS skin.
So....all the people that spent millions on RIS, will now have it taken apart, and have to come back to me, so I can charge them again to make RIS for them
lol
