Ok guys, apparently there are going to be some changes coming to the way experimentation is done in crafting. You can look at this thread for details:


http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=TestCenter&message.id=28628&view=by_date_ascending&page=1


The short summary is that the crafting process will be more heavily dependent on the resources used to make an item, so at the least you can expect the cost of a good flamethrower to go up significantly, and the quality may go down. So if you have the credits, I suggest getting an extra flamethrower (or 3) and an extra lp.

So that means our weapons will go up in prices even more? I can just see the day when a HW costs 1 million per charge and a FT costs 500K and has stats like 100-600 6.0. Well atleast then they will stop wanting to nerf us I think I'll stock up now.

This is all the game needs, another way for people to be low on $$$ and weaponsmiths get to sleep on fat piles of Credits.... They need to pay taxes to the Empire.... I'm a rebel and even I want those Commies to pay.


Disclaimer: This post was made under the influence of spice and weaponsmiths are very nice loving people who do not charge 20K and up for a disposeable weapon.....

If you guys can't accept balance fixes then don't try to get around them through exploits and cheap stuff like that. Players that do this just screw up the game that much more with insane "pre-nerf" prices for stuff. All you do is screw up the devs attempts to balance it out. I suggest rather then screwing the game over, post your objections and provide suggestions to help balance things out.

You guys keep reading the post written by the long winded guy you think is an idiot.

The long winded idiot is going to play the game now. Enjoy.

I really think the devs are all weapon smiths. this is my only explanation on why they would continue to do crap like this.

STOCK UP maybe, but carry around? NO.


with item decay on death (1% insured, 5% uninsured), you're not gonna want to be carrying ANYTHING you don't absolutely need.

Oh the lawsuitwouldn't be over "game mechanics", it would be over business practices harmful to the consumer. It may seem far-fetched to you, but I guaranteethere are a considerable number of people that are disappointed they purchased this product because it did not measure up to its promises and quite a few that feel they were encouraged to purchase a subscription only to have SOE drag it's feet on known existing problems or implement steps to "slow players down", all of this at the cost of the consumer.


By not even staying in contact with their own chosenmoderators and bythey have demonstrated a lack of good faith effort to resolve problems.
