unfortunately it had nothing to do with me - they did not tell me nor did they reply to me. The conversion guy just did it. I really wish for more feedback I feel like I am doing nothing (the new bowcasters - they said nothing to me, the conversion - they said nothing to me - sure I brought it up many times but a little feed back to say that they heard me is all I want)

i dont see how hard it is to make the conversion treat all existing bowcasters as the assault model when generating thier new stats...

They are now.


Of course this does one have one small flaw Before all wookiees could use their bowcasters now only master riflewooks will be able to use the pre-cu bowcasters. Recon would have been ok (not great) as it would have allowed all single combat master wooks to be able to use their pre-cu weapons. (maybe they should allow the choice of assault or recon?)

But on the side of all those who want a usable bowcaster and are not a Riflewook there is still this; the Light Bowcaster post-CU still requires current bowcaster resources (but basic parts) whereas the others have all new resource reqs. This should make it fairly easy for non-Riflewooks to replace their newly converted Assault Bowcaster with a Light Bowcaster should they still want one thats usable.


Regardless of whether it was this post, or the one Ackehece posted in the Correspondent boards, or even the gripes in the conversion threads that actually enacted the change it is good to see this change happen. At least there will now be SOME of the assault bowcasters at CU launch and all those bowcasters that people have put time, money, or effort into won't turn to useless junk.

Converted existing bowcasters to the heavy (assault) bowcaster rather than the novice level bowcaster


Notes from Conversion forums.


Yay!


Said it will be in next time servers are sorted.
