Thread: Confirmed We are now Weaponsmiths
One one hand it makes sense since both professions use OQ/CD resources. But I can't help feeling that the days of making money from droids is over. The existing WSs with deep pockets will be selling droids for nothing...
/sigh....
more great planning ...
I want to work for the soe testing dept.... I would be so happy. lol Joking... don't ban m...........
Tbh i can't see wsmiths making droids and selling them cheap on the side. Droids are as much hassle as weapons when it comes to components etc.
It takes dedication with both profs and I have faith that those willing to continue to craft seriously after this update/conversion are going to take pride in being the ones who stayed to do it. Plus a possible over-inflated market due to a lack of crafters and certainly hybrid combat/crafters will eliminate the need for cheap prices. There's going to be some big account holdersout there and they're going to be wonderingwhat to spend their cash on now to get uber.
The demand for anythingthat makes you above the norm temp is now going to go through the roof, is my prediction.
Anyway 2creds worth. And that's all it is.
But it does make me feel like a second class citizen.
That's it for me.
In Live, I'm Master DE/Master Shipwright. I mastered DE in August 03 after almost 2 months of hard work. I never dropped it.
I'm not willing to stay on as a crafter and drop DE. I'm also unwilling to drop Shipwright, since I fly a lot, and have a hell of a time finding active shipwrights for support. Now, Weaponsmiths will be able to make droids, which will put our already ridiculously low sales even further into the toilet.No thanks.
Seeya, Droid Engineers! The best, most dedicated community and profession on SWG. We played for the love of the game and the love of the job.

Have to agree with this post - especially about the droid sales. Weaponsmith's sales of weapons will more than likely go straight down the U-bend now there's no decay involved. Although thinking about it, I'm sure they'll be extremely underwhelmed when they see how invoved our crafting process is...
"Crafting in SWG (CU Episode II) - *left, left, right, up, down, B, B, A, B, left paddle, C* - Bingo! Out pops a Seeker!"
From what I understand we get some WS ability, but not the master WS stuff....so any one who wants to be a Master WS will not take the droid route, in fact I imagine they are bitchin because all the DE's will now be making weapons!!!
I'm upset bacause I am going to have to drop architect or DE - I've been a DE from the beginning and really like it but I have no idea how useful they will be after this upgrade...still I suppose that's what the respec is for...
