If you have a bone that is broken let us know and we'll fix it. If we find you with a bone you didn't report we may confiscate it if there is evidence you were going to intentionally use it to abuse a broken system but we'll probably switch the stats at your request.

For the broken weapons created with these bones we are not able to reverse the stats so we can't fix the guns and they have to be confiscated.

Some more news on CSR policy Rephrased basically tryin hard to get all cleared up

Thanks for your efforts Fury.

So no compensation for the people who already have weapons made from bugged bones?

Wait I'm confused, let's say you had a 200ish/100ish min/max for an acklay bone and you had a stun baton made, turning out to about 260ish/199 damage...should you report a ticket to a CSR now? what would happen?i know of a few people on kauri who said they submitted tickets and the CSR helping them said it was meant to be or something and that they are legal...they even have ss's...

From what I understand if you have a WEAPON with 260/199 dam it could get yanked and you may not see a thing about it again. If you have a BONE w/ 200/100 stats it'll get yanked and you'll get back a 100/200 bone. Is that what is being implied?

From the way i'm reading it: no.

-If you have a BONE with min>max, they can replace it with another bone, with the stats reversed.
-If you have a weapon crafted with a bugged bone, it will be confiscated as they cannot change the stats on the weapon.

The unanswered question, is what compensation/replacements are people with 'bugged' weapons to get?

I'd expect 111-215 bones or I'd expecta 291-315 baton...nothing more and nothing less...Would they rather have ppl cancel their accounts orfix problems the "right way" by being fair and not punishing customers for mistakes they made?

Also remember how the base stats will differ if a weapon was crafted with reversed bones...

eg,

Assuming re-core crafted by weaponsmith is 40, and an normal baton of 80-130 damage (no idea if this is close or not, just using as eg).

With 200/100 bones -> 240 - 190

With 100/200 bones -> 140 - 290

Same DPS, but bigger range = more effect by mitigation.

heh, this talk of stats winds me up even more. If i had my bone 'given back to me' (304/125 -> 125/304), a decent damage slice would put the max damage over 500

Aaaaaaaah man:

Hello Richard,
My apologies on the delay getting back with you. I was waiting for
clarification on something and got that information this evening. Thank
you for understanding the reason why we had to take the stun baton away.
We have gone ahead and placed a set of Acklay Bones in your medium house
located on Naboo. It is sitting on the table. The stats are 125 min
and 304 max.

Good luck and safe hunting.

Sincerely,

Bruce W Economy
CSR Supervisor

Guess who is now a very happy chappy

(replacement bones for the weapon taken from me a week or so ago)

After much hounding the devs, they just posted this on the KB

"What should I do with an Acklay Bone that has invalid statistics?

During the early periods of the Geonosian Cave release, the Acklay Bones that could be found within the dungeon had an error in their statistic values. These bones incorrectly reported a minimum damage that was much higher than the maximum damage they granted. Some weapons were generated using these bones that have contracted their invalid statistics. These weapons may violate the base legitimate weapon statistics guidelines and may be considered inappropriate due to these reversed statistics. All Acklay Bones that are unused and have reversed statistics must be reported to customer service through ticket submission (Player Character / Inventory) so we can correct this error. All weapons that have been generated using an invalid bone must also be reported to customer service for review. Failure to report any weaponry crafted from invalid Acklay Bones will result in the immediate confiscation of such weapons without reimbursement or warning."

So if you loot ackley bones, with min>max send a report to CSR and they will reverse the damage of the bones. DO NOT however make weapons with bugged bones, then contact CSR to get them reversed.

People useing batons with min>max without reporting them to CSR's will be deleted without replacements, and im guessing they are pretty firm on this one.

There ya go guys

I had this happen to me after I was reported for killing people in 2 hits heh.

I'm pretty sure this was the best acklay stun baton on the server. Maybe in the game http://www.imagedump.com/index.cgi?pick=get&tp=63675
