From Grunzer (Thanks!)

=====

The reason why? It's bugged! Apparently the DX2 Schematic calls for several advanced power handler components, but for some reason the DX2 pistol schematic only recognizes 1, instead of all of them.

This is a bug that causes the DX2 to be terribly inferior to other lower end pistol types.

So, despite the flaming, I should have left this in the issues report..now we have a specific reason to include so that it gets looked at....thanks Grunzer..

i don't want to sound mean... and i'm not asking to be mean, but;

What good are these reports? I mean what's the purpose? I'm totally clueless to this and that's why i'm asking. It's going to sound mean, but i'm not trying to be, i really want to know. I came from playing DAOC, and they had class team leads, and after a few years we realized that the process that invoke changes never included the TL reports. Alot of TLs left after finding this out. This maybe new to the game since it's only been out for what, a month or so now. And this is the first time i saw a report for any class, so i'm wondering how potent your work will be, there.... Please don't think i'm trying to be an a$$. I really hope you are allowed to do something. I just want to know the process that these reports will take.

This belongs in the report. I agree. Pistoleers need an advanced weapon option that actually gives an advantage over the low level weapons. Scout Blasters should not have better stats than the DX2.

just be glad you guys have DX2's ....starsider doesnt have any better weapons than FWG5 cause we havent had a blessed resource shift in 4 weeks.

You're welcome. I came across it quite be accident while I was skimming the WS forums looking for information for a WS friend of mine. Anyway, it explains a lot, we'll never know the true potential of the weapon until this bug is fixed.

Steegee ,

I'm just a player, and a volunteer. The only function we serve through submitting reports is making sure all of the things we feel are issues, are in the right hands. I'm very glad we have a formal way to report general and technical issues, regardless of what actually gets done with them, at least they are seen, and at least we can do something constructive with whatever we find.

DX2 is bugged, and I suspect bugs will always be fixed no questions asked...that alone is a good thing.

I just bought a DX2 and it kicks butt. It is 75-121 with speed 2.0 now that might not sound as good as some scout blasters but remember damage type. DX2 use acid damage if im not mistaken and it takes down most mobs and players faster then energy or heat.

As for being bugged I dont see it but then I dont make them I just hunt with them.

"Corrected bad resource references in several advanced components: Dispersal Mechanism, Vibro Blade Unit, and Chemical Dispersal Mechanism."


That's in the patch message, maybe if we can get this into the Devs real quick, they can slip it in with those fixes(If it is a crafting problem).

it is indeed a crafting bug. The DX2 takes several advanced components, but for some reason, when you put them together, the stat modifiers for those components aren't recognized. (well, 1 is, but that's it.)

therefore the crafters currently cannot make dx2's with advanced components that will modify base stats. Hence. they are about comparable to a scout blaster (with better dmg type) at best. I believe if the dev's fix this bug, we may see the DX2 rival the FWG for dmg, the scout for speed, and of course, with the acid type dmg. This gun will finally be worthy of being a gun for the pistoleer.
