if you're gonna bitch and complain, do it on your own board, don't rain on our parade.

We need AP3, Pistol max AP is 1, Carbine max AP is 2, Rifle max AP is 3. Makes sense to me. I don't know why they don't put in Very Heavy armour in (AR4) and then boost commando weapons to AP4. Then NOONE except commando and mabye Jedi should get AP4 weapons.

With nopower up I have hit for 980 with strafe 2 in PvP, 194-515 T21. Dunno if that is the highest I could get but I do know with a 30% power up it is very possible with the pre patch T21 to one shot people. Now with these Pre patch T21's getting heavy AP, be afraid, be very afraid.

Seflyn I dont know if you already own a T21 or not, but all the pre patch versions AP has changed with patches. Mine has gone from 0 to 3 then to its current state of 1. So going by the previous 2 patches it leads me to believe that the pre patches will be changed in the process also.

Id have to say .50 cal rifles would be 'Heavy' armor piercing...

Hmm, so you will have the old values for max-min damage with AP3 again?

I would have thought the Devs would have a way of changing ONLY new T21s to AP3.

If not I can see those pre-patch T21s selling for quite a bit.

I only have the last 2 patches to go by, but yeah it doesnt seem like they can notonly change the AP value on the new ones. I took a chance yesterday before the patch to bring the weapon down to AP 1 to buy 3 more pre patched T21's, it was a gamble, but its only manopoly money.

I dont care either way, the pre patch is still a very good weapon with just AP 1.

HS3 doing 3x damage? I wish. The closest thing I've seen to an official comment on that is what was printed in the (now mostly obsolete) Prima strategy guide. According to the skills sectionin that, pistol and carbine users get a special which does 3x damage but HS3 only does 2.5x damage. Can anyone (Devs?) confirm this?

Great changes, Holocron. Curious though, what are the average HAM costs going to be?

Well if they can't only make the new ones AP3 then I don't know what they're going to do. People are not going to be happy if they keep getting one shotted.

They will slowly disapear over time.

Eh very slowly. I expect a person with 3 or 4 could make them last for a couple of months.

bertha is getting packed away, and only brought out for special occasions *chuckles*
