At least we will get to play with them a few days and trust me if anything comes out better than post patch ( as I expect it), so many schematics will be made than nothing else will ever be produced ....

dumbest move I've ever seen made by a developer team in any game I've played, and being 48, I've played a hell of a lot of them.


to clarify, either leave it in, or take it out, I'd prefer in as the current system is so broke. but oh well, let the majority afraid of unknown changes win again

This wasn't meant to fix crafting, it was meant to nerf every item made post-patch as part of the Combat Revamp.

nerf you say? how would a nerf make it possible to make *better* armor than possible now?


and that was documented by our correspondent. /shrug

There were also documents spread about armor made with only slightly higher resists but nearly double-HAM. Experimenting on one-line leaves out any possiblity of variablitity in armor.

Great! But.. does this mean we keep our critical failure rates?

Okay I checked that post referenced above and to paste the gloves:



HIGH RESIST KINETIC GLOVES:


Current System: Base Resists: 60% Kinetic 80% HAM 67.63.70


With the new system it would look like this:


New System: Base Resists 60% Kinetic 80% HAM 116.112.119


Okay, how about LOW HAM GLOVES?


Current System: Base Resists 51% Kinetic 67% HAM 44.42.46


With the new crafting system it would look like this:


New System: Base Resists 21% Kinetic 37% HAM 44.42.46


This isn't a joke. These stats aren't plucked out of the air. This is hard solid experimented items.



What kind of resources was this guy (gal?) using? Those 'current system' stats suck as I make by far better ones now.


69Elec 80Kinetic 60base 40's hams


Low resist? I make these stats:


64E 73K 57base hams in the lower 30's


all before slicing. I can tell you numbers like above and have you believe whatever I wish. But I know the posted gloves were made with very average materials. Some test.

The may have been made with low quality materials, but that is the kind of effect we would have seen (and will see for a day or so). I know that if I can get my base to over 70% I certainly will make several schematics, but I'm still going to like my decent-HAM 80% Kinetic/65% base suits.

Rather disappointed that they decided to drop the changes to be honest. The new system would of at least added some much needed variety to what we craft. Guess its just back to churning out kinetic layered ubese/composite *yawn*.
