Thread: No Excuse for t21 still being broken
It means changing a 0 to a 3. That takes a team of 35 people about 3 weeks going by the bug fix rate of SOE. Of course if you wanted the T21 nerfed from 3 to 0 it would only take 1 person 1 day because counting backwards is easier!
Incase you can'ttell I am getting a bit fed up with the bugs.
I agree 100%, it shouldn't take them that long to make a simple change like that one...
Fix the AR on the T21!
FIx the AR on non armored opponents in PvP! (and to some extent on some creatures in PvE...)

Really. And you know this how? A later poster says that all you have to do is change a 0 to a 3. Again, how would you know this?
The fact that the delay is inexcuseable is true. The fact that the fix is so ridiculously easy is impossible to assume. We - the end userswho don't have access to the code - really have no way to know exactly what is causing the problem. We have no true idea what kind of algorithms are used to calculate the final result, no idea where in the code there might be some conflict that ends up resulting in this problem.
If you want to register your displeasure with this problem, please do so. Just remember, though, when you dismiss the task as utterly trivial, you run the risk that the people who DO know how difficult the problem is (IE the Devs) may just as equally dismiss your concern as a rant.
My whole post except the last sentance was a joke, I also said it would take a team of 35 people to fix it. It was a rant, my follow up was a joke.
This is what I really think. Compared to adding player cities I cannot see HOW this could be hard, and yet player cities seem to be coming along fine. Before you go off on another rant about how hard is it, it is JUST one weapon, they are meant to be fixing more thanone in the patch. If it's that hard to change one weapon then Ihave tosay we are all doomed, because theres a hell of a lot more complex bugs out there.
More likly is that they just havn't got around to it. It isn't trivial but neither is it asking for a rewrite of the entire game, it should of been done by now, end of story.
. Hopefully it shouldn't be too much longer.
Because I am a professional programmer? 
Databases provide ways to change a field on all instances of a certain "type" ala t21 type in the database. It would have to be done durring a downtime but honestly its not hard just a simple command.
even the iron for e11s suck so its pretty much laser or dlt20
No T21's on Intrepid Server yet either....
hope the fix is in place before we finally do get the right resources.
