um what happens if i used a adk once or twice then sold it to somone else lol?





Well on my alt, the ADK I bought to put on a gun lets me equip the weapon. Nothing mentioning biolinked on there. I'm assuming it is not retroactive.

What about putting the ADK on a non-biolinked weapon and trading it off? Essentially someone else would get the benefit from it.

Complain loud, complain hard. It'll get flipped back soon enough.

  • "SWG would be a lot better if the developer meetings didn't start with one of the chumps saying 'Hey guys! I was playing WoW last night and...'"

  • "The only way they can make this more depressing is putting a gate up in the Starport with 'Arbeit Macht Frei' written across it."

Actually I disagree, this is a very big balance issue. some players have a full suit of maxed armor with a maxed out weapon all with an ADK. That means they never have to go get another set of armor or weapon ever again.


That was not the intent (IMO anyways) of the devs when they gave us this vet reward. I think if this was done on purpose you'd have to have a lot of people quitting for them to overturn it. Basically only a few really rich people with lots of cash will be upset.........doesn't it remind you of the whole M.Belt issue with Jedi/TK again? Not enough people had them to complain about it just like not enough people have multiple ADK's to complain about this.

Devs really should have thought that through when they introduced the ADK to us half a year ago... then again when do they actually think things through anyhow?

yeah - as for "why dont they tell people this pre patch" it comes down to economics - to announce something like this seriously destablilizes the economy - prices go mad on adk's for a few days - by releasing it steathly (and i agree its a good thing for the game) they avoid the mass selling etc that may happen if people realised they had 2 days to sell them

I am sorry to those rich Jedi that spent their money on multiple ADKs but this was a really stupid thing for the Devs to let happen in the first place. One per person should have always been the rule. This happened in UO when bless deeds came on the scene. No one had any reason to buy new items because everything they had wouldnever wear out.

They can still be sold all over the place, they just can't be resold after use. So people can still accrue ADK'd armor sets but won't be able to sell them off.

I agree, people told them about this issue and they didn't listen. Like I said, they let a bunch of Jedi spend 50-100mill on belts thinking that it was just fine........then they take the carpet right from under them lol. It seems they are less worried about these minor type of changes than the bigger ones (like when xp was nerfed and thousands of people quit). All this will do is make unbiolinked ADK's worth a hell of lot more.


Hopefully devs made it so people know when an ADK is bio-linked.....hate to see someone buy one for 30 mill to find out it can only be used by that seller.

ADKs should have been bio linked right when they were granted to players. It is too bad now some rich people have been able to collect multiples. They dont bother me as much as the jedi who have multiple ADKs. The regular characters may see new armor introduced that is better than their current ADKd set and will eventually change it out. Jedi on the other hand arent able to use armor. This means the current jedi that have full ADKd suits of will have a much bigger advantage over those that dont. Jedi will never have to worry about a better set of anything coming out and therefore will never need to change what they currently have. Unless they come out with better or different CAs the jedi with multiple ADKs currently will have a serious advantage.
