I was just reading this thread on the Weapon Smith forum:

http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=weaponsmith&message.id=82260


Wondering if you are concerned about Armor drops that will be better than craftable armor? It seems to me that after overhauling the Armor crafting system to make armor soo much more expensive and time consuming to make its a hint to us that we are gently being pushed out. "Encouraged" if you will to leave in favor of an eventual EQ2 system.


I am quite concerned since as both a AS and ranged profession I find the dynamic of a player based economy THE most unique and fun part about the game.

Agreed. We need to riot if this happens. I don't mean here. I mean all over these forums. Hijack every thread. We have nothing to lose but a half-broken crafting system. Actually, screw that;riot now.

Dont do it here because as we have all seen, it falls on deaf ears (or blind eyes).

We all expected it. It's been posted that this was more than likely our future.

So is it already here with the release today? Can anyone confirm the details of how this is to be implemented in game? It seems there are a number of people on the WS forums with information who played in the Beta.


Will it be very rare drops or worse?



Thanks

lol, I'm trying to think what would be the point of credits in the game.... are they going to do a credit whipe if they just go to loot drops being almighty?

Nothing new, we already have armorloot drops. Cores drop of various creatures and they are the armor (what is left is just skin, and they have to take the loot cores to us to apply them). Fortunately it seems that uber loot drops are still rare.

Face it, people.


Those in charge at SOE/LA want crafting GONE.


This is a combat only level game now.


Adults are not wanted here. Intelligent players are not wanted here. People seeking to live a life in the Star Wars Universe should goaway.


The original design philosphy of SWG has been utterly betrayed.

this is what i can see happening, and after reading this my fears are growing worse:/

Loot on the platform is almost entirely quest based. Perform the main quests and you will earn the Trandoshan Scale of Honor or a Star Destroyer Hologram for completing the Imperial quest. The side quests on board offer a range of new pistols, rifles, and carbines that can only be found from the Avatar.




Now when i was on TC I saw a good few weapons that I have'nt seen in game yet, two i can think of right now are the Lvl54 TK weapon 'Blacksun razorknucke' (curently the top lvl TK weaon is lvl40....) and the Proton Carbine lvl54 BH cert going from memory. now i could be running off with this and they 'may' turn out to be limeted use schematics they are talking about here, but we'll have to wait and see.

Did it ever occure to you people that the armor would be quest rewards? That's what the clone trooper armor is, it's not loot it's a quest... that's all there is to it people. As for looted armor, we'll see various stats on it, but it's not like this is a new thig, I used to get looted armor off rancors and kryats all the time.
