Thread: Friday Feature April 16th Bio-Engineer Advanced Guide
Sometimes I wonder what a world without idiots would be like. But then I always remember Brave New World.

Have a great weekend!

Private crafting stations of a high quality will also produce much better results than a public crafting station.
Since this information is supposedly official... I would like to get a definitive clarification onthis particular comment made in this guide.
Its not a Ranger. It's a Master Bio-Engineer with some Ranger skills.

Okay I'm a Master BE. I was a Master Ranger as well and still have many Ranger skills. So let's reask the question:
Why is this picture of a Master BE using a Ranger skill instead of a Master BE using a BE Skill? Why not show an picture of a BE sampling DNA or something? Do you find the BE animations so uninteresting?
As [Almost everyone has] posted earlier, MOST OF THE INFORMATION IN THE "ADVANCED BE GUIDE" WAS DONE BY PLAYERS. NOT DEVS.
In no way is this the documentation we were looking for. We wanted OFFICIAL WORD on what the cloning system really does with all the variables and if it is working as intended.
This is an excerpt from the last section of the "Advanced Guide"
In Closing
Some will find this guide a welcome breath of fresh air while others will find no new information here. To those people who find no new information here, I salute you because you are among the accomplished bio-engineers in our community. For those that find this a helpful guide and thirst for more information, please check out the Expert guides in our Bio-Engineering community. Thanks to the Bio-Engineer correspondent Talthazar, Mirrl, bio-engineering community, Panthu, NJ62, sciguyCO, and the correspondent team for their contributions and involvement.
What upsets me most is that this "Advanced Guide" was supposed to be for the "accomplished bio-engineers". We wanted this to show us what we were missing, because frankly, the "accomplished" among us are still just peeking out from under our blindfolds most of the time.
In a word, disappointed.
/sigh. I don't even know what to say. I think this just took the fight out of me. On the plus side, I am apparently elite since I knew all of this stuff already. Or do you have to spell it L337 these days?
The only thing this may do is expand the number of BE's out there and give us a louder voice in the community. Not that it will help us get a CL designation before final creature combo, but... eh, I don't know. Maybe its time to just do a combat profession like they want us to.
Hey, since I am the expert now, and SOE doesn't understand how Classing works, per the Friday Feature, can we get the creature check turned off please? I am quite certain it doesn't work, and since we obviously can't get any info on it because you guys don't even know what is valid for a class, how about turning it off and letting me sell what I can make using this spiffy new guide you gave us.... I promise I will only do procedures in the NEW guide and since it is new, they should be valid.... Right?
Well in fairness we know you have your plates full and under probably a lot more deadlines then you care to share with us. So you decided to throw a bone and got your hands bitten twice, let's face the facts last week's 2 for 1 features was just thrown in and you knew just one wasn't really worthy of a feature...
The frustration & negative posts are not because we want to be that way, it's simple frustration of not knowing game mechanics, inherent game bugs that are high priority to some but not to you, taking the fun out of things like GCW, and seem to be heavily catering to crafting professions. People can see the possibilities and potential this game has to offer and that's whats keeping most still here. Nice work on the dungeons and going against your original idea of nothing good for loots because that would have really killed the game.
I still hope they powers that be cut you some slack, get this game to how we all hope it will be. Just in case you're not sure what that is... it's Star Wars. Not an EQ type with a Star Wars skin.
