Has anyone else gotten new quest reward weapons on Mustafar and saw that they are non sliceable and you cant put PUP's on them either? Im completly dissapointed with the weapon stats with the Pistol i got too.
Sigh well i'm not going to be playing till next weekend maybe they'll fix everything. But as of right now that is bull **edit**.Yes i said bull **edit**. come on SOE give us decent weapons if your going to give us crap for content.

I've heard that although the new loot weapons are non-trade/non-powerup/non-slice-able, they will also appear in schematic form, and the crafted ones will be better. Perhaps they will be powerup/slice-able.
I suppose they'd have to be tradable, but imagine the time sink: to use this weapon, you have to grind out master weaponsmith, craft the weapon, then regind to master whatever to use it. I know I shouldn't be giving them any ideas, but who reads the smuggler forums?

Never recieved ANY schematics from a quest in beta. Never recieved ANY weapon that allowd me to slice it in beta.

Ok the rumour i heard was that they might be "craftable" using some silly cube thing (anyone remember the diablo cube?) anyway I'm not buying the expansion but I cant believe there arent more smugglers pissed about the no slice crap! First they only do a slap ass job of a "revamp" then they cut our revamped comat role off from high-end content and now they cut our slice revamp off from new content... **edit**
I wouldnt worry so much, every single weapon I've seen so far in livehas such a low DPS and high sac for a level 55 weapon, that noone will be using them anyway.
looks like the crafters have won this one, and in turn, us... kind of.

Schematics drop from the cubes.
Already one of them has been confirmed in recipes listed on the game guides forum. Some sort of melee weapon I believe.
I have heard that the Republic Flamethrower is also a schematic obtained from the cube and so are it's components.
**edit**? no slicing? What a way to kick us while we're down. "Hey we're thinking about your content again, ya know, fixing stuff" nahhh
I regret getting TOW.

I won't say I'm pissed, didn't really expect anything else from SOE/LA. I am however rather disapointed with the fact SOE/LA has pushed out 3 expansions in one year, while at the same time the GCW is broken, at least 1 out of 4 professions are either broken or useless, existing quests are bugged and the bug ratio in this game is way over what I would see as acceptable. If they have used the resources from the last two expansions and used for actually fixing the game we would have had a much better game. Then again that don't bring in any revenue, which apparently SOE/LA is all about.
From a business perspective I think SOE/LA got a brilliant idea with this. Instead of fixing the broken things they throw out epansions which the customers pay for, so rather than spending money to make people happy they make expansions which people pay for and keep themselves happy for a few months after that time they can just push out a new expansion and people will be happy once again... never seeing that they are actually playing a broken game.
In the end I'm not pissed, I'm a very unhappy customer. I was promised a game equivalent to a ferrari and got a trabant instead.
With a good day to all of you and wishes of good luck on your travels and the future, I bid you all goodbye.

I'm glad the TOOW weapons suck to be honest, and I hope the cube schems create sliceable *proper* weapons, like the 1 schem available in ROTW (Nak'tra Crystal Knife)...
....sick of being price-gouged by BHs for weapon & slicing comps)
