Does anyone else find it rather annoying...no VERY annoying...that none of the new weapons are player craftable?

I'm not even a crafter and I think this is just plain WRONG of SOE. Drop schematics if anything...then at least the skill and materials of the WS can add some variety to the freaking game.

Maybe they're on the track to eventually get rid of all non-combat professions? They gutted Entertainers and now they've throwing this in the faces of the WSs. BAH

I also play as a weaponsmith, and I have mixed feelings about it.

On the one hand, I'm irritated that these aren't player craftable weapons. On the other hand, I'm glad I don't have to deal with everyone wanting me to craft these weapons for them. Just making enough blaster fists to fill demand right now is a pain. The novelty of looted schems wears off quickly, and if experimentation goes badly on a loot/reward item you tend to end up with a very disappointed customer. Now, if more weapons were granted to all weaponsmiths as schematics that would be great. Looted/reward schematics are often more of a pain than they're worth.

But yeah, crafters and entertainers have been somewhat deeply screwed by recent changes.

Uh, yeah, like the Smuggler Revamp is coming "soon". We all know that "soon" has taken nearly 2 years and still isn't here.

Think the Entertainers should hold their breath?

Mediocre weapons that are all the same and not player craftable. What IS the point other than eye candy?

Well like i said - SOE and promises, I know. But hey, how long were they promising the CU for?

And still, I think entertainers are very necessary and useful and aside from mind buffs being gone I'm confused as to why everyone says they're useless now.

because people miss there buffbott acounts making money for them whem there not online thats why most of the so called netertainers (not all) complaining aboutthe cu making them useless are buffbott owners. the live dancers and entertainers are thrilled more buisness for us and no more botts everywhere

I hate it when I go in cantinas and everyone is AFK.. makes it hard to flirt with the dancers. I submit this is a change for the better.

Ok, so now you've put the world straight, where is the information on the Massassi Lance?

You know, I kinda expect to see some of the new replies to be aboutthe topic!

So..... are you saying the Massassi lance is found on entertainer buffbots? Wow talk about a shocker there. I never saw that one coming. Time to hit the cantina's. rofl

Einhinder,

Well, I never had a bufbot. In fact I wanted SOE to do away with recursive macros entirely for a variety of reasons. Three things ruined entertainment IMO; bufbots, the holo-grind and the CU.

I had a Master Dancer/TKM since live and I did it without being afk. TheCU gutted Dancer and left it with quite a bit of skill points spent uselessly. When they gave us respec I respeced Dancer to Pikeman...relunctantly but I wanted some content for my skill point expendature. And, I wanted a full 3k health which I couldn't get with Master Dancer because...well I guess SOE doesn't see the logic in dancers being quite healthy and didn't see that non-combatantas having health bonuses for elite profs wouldn't unbalance combat in the least.

Mmmkay, so basically you'd prefer no new posts at all? No one has information on the lance, it appears no one will have information on the lance for some time. Until that fact changes, expect the topic to shift occasionally.
