I've heard rumors of both a nerf and cap on player made armor of resist...anyone hear anything?

This is for the combat revamp?

I am personally for this. although I have mixed feeling being a crafter too, for instance if it is capped what would distinguish 1 armorer from another?

another point to keep in mind is with the combat balance, it may open up a new market with the other armor types

Has anything been published on what the revamp is SPECIFICALLY going to entail?

Is any of it in TC yet?

Not trying to be a wise-acre, but I haven't read anything but speculation. I'm interested in knowing the facts. And as yet, I have seen none. If anyone has a link to this, please post it.

If they change the armor that is currently in game, armor that we paid millions for.. and now it's being changed to weaker stats, I will not be a happy camper.

It's still on the drawing boards with the dev's, so noone has any idea what the true, end result will be.

It's been hinted that armor might be reduced overall, but nothing is firm yet.

What, exactly distinguishes and armorsmith now? I can only think of one thing... resources. What else? Not much... they will probably either lower a constant modifier(or add a new one to reduce the solution) in the formula for creation to just tighten the system withing a smaller range. Say up to 60% instead of 80% cap, but being able to reach that 60% would be the same as reaching the 80% cap now...

But anyway, I still dont see much that distinguishes the products of armorsmiths, not to say customer service isnt a *big* thing...

as far as what distinguishes an armorsmith?? yes resources is part of it, the extra 2 points is another. Working with your customers is and know what your customer wants. when the corvette went lived, what did i have stocked 80% energy composite, when kashyyykian went live i spent till server reset online getting it all together and then was up the next morning making armor for my guild. luckely i had the day off. point being is there alot of differences in smiths. u can give the same resources to two different smiths and one of them is going to make and sell better armor. a fair amount of armor smiths just make armor to get a quick buck anyway who knows what is going to happen no more crying or whining till we know for sure

what bugs me is that if they redo the whole system then Armorsmiths will have to re-learn everything they have learned, and possibly even start all over with their resource collections. I guess it'll be nice to give the newbies a shot at getting caught up, but its gona be a pain to all of a sudden be in competition with every other armorsmith on the server, instead of just a choice few

as far as we know it looks like it's true and it looks like all existing armor will be nerfed.

I don't understand really why people are worried about this. I mean as long as everything is in line, there will still be a market for armor, it will just be different. Its not like armor is the only thing changing. Some people seem to think "armor nerf" and that we will get hosed compared to everything else. As long as they do it right, it should be different, not "worse". If you are going to worry about something worry about the combat balance as a whole, not just the armor.

I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt on the combat revamp. I'm not worried about armor at all.

its not really a nerf imho, it really gets us to work as groups to do things, not go solo the geo caves or something. it provides a sense of community that this game does seem to lack
