• Skillmods on tissues are broken and favors SC over RFP enhancements


• Master boxes doesn't add bonuses for crafting


• Med enhancers : low effectiveness regarding the high investment involved


• Toon CL master BioE CL of 17 => DNA sampling is overly dangerous (based on toon CL)


• BE certified for recon armor=energy attacks we need kinetic protection


• Crit fails destroy DNA


• Interference between old stats and values and new stats and values on creature cloning


• CM experimentation and assembly tapes do not work for BioE crafting


• Invalid stats on DNA


• Inconsistent wild spawns ...


• Creatures do not show resists nor special attacks


• Difficulty to gather talusian scaley hide for bacta infusion enhancer


• Secret research data still missing


• Existing tailor tissues did not convert, or did not convert properly, to new skills and values


• Petstims converted to low power


• Conversion process on both pets and deeds is VERY inconsistent, and yields either un-usable pets (prohibitively high CL), or worthless pets (low stats on conversion)


• BE needs medic 0004 and scout 0040

Hello,

I'm compiling some data on the professions issues for my guild and so far I found this (see below).

Any help would be appreciated to update this data, thx!

This is a problem why?

Group with a level 80 peep, issue solved

Not exactly often is it

This means.....?

Thats intentional for a future development

This is nice, sorts the Men from the Boys

EVERYTHING converted to low power, oh and the conversion was ages ago and most of us destroyed our stock

This is not our issue im sorry to say

This is a problem why?

What's the new "high end stats" for pet stims now? My old ones converted to junk. But before that they were comparable or better than the highest "people" stims. Are 1k+ pet stims still available? If not.....whay not? Pet Stims should heal for more as pets have a LOT more HP to heal overall.

Another problem I have noticed that is not on the list, when I experiment on high stat areas of a dna template.....successes often result in lowering the stat on the template. This happens the vast majority of the time. As I understand it, this is normal for Elite DNA that has breached the 1000 mark on first combine, but is it also normal for 800 to 900 levels in stats?

I havea crafting bug to add, which i had last week for the first time...

I'm talking about crafting Stim D's

I usually experiment first on efficiency then on the charges...

When i spent all my points it probably display's 16 uses and 1178power

Then i create a Schematic, the values displayed are still the same when i have to name the stim.

But when i have the schematic in my datapad it suddenly has 19 uses, it's not updating while crafting...so i have guess how many uses my stims will have when i name them...

Vuldrayne,

First of all, what I am going to say is speculation... it might be right and it might be wrong.

However, I am becoming increasingly convinced that there is a 'cap' on each stat. You will see this when you experiment as one stat in a pair will go up quickly and then stop, then the other one will start to go up a bit more.

I think it is related to the max value that that stat can have - the reason I say this is that I have seen that in a VHQ sample, the value seems to match the cap. I have not done nearly enough experimentation to confirm this tho.

Now, we have seen that assembly does not recognize that cap - if you have 1000 for a value in every slot, and combine them all, for some reason we get above 1000 whether that might be because of the values being above 1000 in reality (I am not sure this is so) or because of some other quirk of crafting that we still need to work out.

So, my speculation is this - if yourstat is atthe cap of what it is allowed to be - ie. for example scyks have a hard cap of 10 on fortitude as does any template made with all syck DNA - i think it might be allowed to combine during assembly to be above the cap. Then when you experiment it, it corrects itself to the max and never goes up again. Is this pretty much what you are seeing? IF not, then it is clearly something else but as I said, it's all speculation.

nail on the head sort of thing, it does sort of seem to me that there is a cap where during assembly you can exceed this cap but when you experiment on that stat i t remembers the cap and reduces it and doesnt allow you jto go over, thats why whenever you use elite dna that comes out over 1000 on the initial assembly you should avoid experimenting on that stat as it wil drop

That's a known issue for all crafting and there is already a fix for it in the owrks over on test center from what i hear

Hah, I remember getting bug reports about the BE Tool showing higher values than the cap (750 [700]) or the starting % was more then the cap (93%/90%). Can't remember if I canged it or not but it seems like it's a normal thing after all.

resampling pet deeds destroys DNA on occasion when you receive a "fail to get a valid DNA sample". This never used to happen, the pet deed was only destroyed after at least 1 successful sample.

This used to happen to me pre-CU.

It's always happened, it's designed to do that, other wise you would have an unlimited supply of first generation dna, generally ii get 2 to 3 dna off deeds, but have had up to 9, about 20% of the time the deed dies in one hit.
