Somethings gonna get fixed, but the old ones won't...he's working on a fix for them too hopefully! They require a different fix than new ones unfortunately...

Ok so.... is what is the difference in the ones that will drop now and the ones that dropped then? Are they changing the stats or something? Changing the serial number is all or something? Is it now going to be a quest item and not a random drop? There had better be some kind of compensation then for the ones that have poured out hundreds of thousands if not like in my case 10 freaking million credits for something that should have worked on day one NOT knowing it was bugged as I was one of the first to get one and find this out. I will not sit here and swallow that as acceptable treatment on the item. They need to have CSR's willing to swap them out without any questions and arguments or copy/paste of "sorry it's a known issue" then.

Remember space changes with the pre nerf and post nerf engines?
Think about that with proton rifles, only backwards, and you can't even use one.
So are you implying the new proton rifles are going to be weaker mate? I hope not as it already is subpar to an Advanced Laser Rifle in Speed, Max Damage, DPS, and HAM cost.

Could you at least let the Devs know that something must be done about the people who traded for or bought or recieved the random drop? I want my 10 million credits back in exchange for the broken item from a CSR or either a working version of the item I aquired through a legit purchase having faith in their ability to correct an issue.
This isn't just a CDEF pistol we are talking about it is a signature item for a prof that I went well out of my way to attain.

I said backwards. A better idea of what's probably going to happen is when they raised the mass on some of the ships including the firespray, and those ones that were made and people had spent huge amounts of money on before they were upped became nearly worthless, but the devs wouldn't do anything about it.

Ah ok I get ya now. I was thinking more along the lines of the prenerf engines being 92 speed with the post nerf being 79. On the mass comparison I get ya.

yaaaaaay!!
wait...
so my preexisting proton rifle will be garbage?
and the new proton rifles will be subpar compared to every other master level weapon out there?

I just skimmed our trade forums and there is one there now someone has the min on for 2mil. Way to go Devs... one way to siphon the money out of the economy...
Should I post there and warn him to retract his bid? That would leave the auctioneer stuck with a wall ornament too. Not sure if it would be polite to barge in the auction saying... "Don't bid on that item. It is broken and there is a good possibility it won't be fixed. Unless you want it to sit next to your X-Wing Holo"

Hopefully they'll go and up the stats on em too. 300-340 range would be really nice.

Has anyone considered/suggested that they put in an "Junk Dealer" at the Kashyy starport? He would be programmed to take ONLY a busted Proton Rifle and to provide a "new" working proton rifle. All they have to do is set it so that you can not converse with the junk dealer unless you have a broken proton rifle ("Let's see what you have to sell.....You don't have anything I'm interested in").
It's a simple fix to a problem, the code already exists (Junk Dealers take junk and give loot kits). And it would be fair.
EDIT: Props to Knightcrest. I see in another thread he suggests having the weaps exchanged on a commando trainer. Or using the "Pet swap" code that already exists. It seems like a relatively simple way to "swap" the weapons rather than doing a database refresh for the devs.

Any exchange like that seems like it would be the most fair with the least hassle. Here's hoping that they do something to look after those of us stuck with a rodian baseball bat.

Laughing will reduce the gray hair insurgency that could lead to accelerated age appearancefrom stress, anxiety, and frustration of a corespondent that has to constantly conversate with SOE Developers.
