Thread: No convert option for WUKs??

You had to pay more attention to the posts here when they said that crated WUKs and AUKs would not convert and pulled out as many as you could before the patch happened.
This is an outrage! I didnt see Weaponsmiths having to pull all there crated components into singles before they became useless after the CU! not to mention the fact i havent even been able to login due to Client Crash's for past 12 days! i hope this gets sorted.
This happened to stop a flood of the market, how many thousands of crates are there on each server?

Because then we wouldnt have a reason to be pissed off

I was busymindnumbinglyhappily converting all my WUKs when I came across a AUK crate lying on my YT. I popped it for a laugh* and found it converted into a rather nice thingymabob
So whatever code they're using to disable the newly uncrated item conversion isn't 100% effective
* 'laugh' meaningit was more enjoyable totryANYactivity, no matter how dull and tedious it may be, even the simple act of getting an item from a crate,than continue converting hundreds upon hundreds of WUKs
LOL It is good to hear that there is hope for those who didn't have any uncrated.

I bought 25 crates of WUKs yeasterday, adding to several crates I already had...and none have a "convert" option or whatever. What do I have to do...
none of mine on Starsider converted either. 1200+ uncrated. I'm not gonna delete them just yet. I was upset when I first loggedin to check what they turned into, but now I'm over it. I mean, they'll be lootable, it'll give me something to look for while I'm out killing crap. Prior to this publish, I never really went after any loot in particular. Now this gives me and my friends something to go out and do specifically.
If the devs put a hotfixin and a few of mine convert, great, but if not.... oh well. I'll get over it. It's not like we can slice over the cap anyway. The only thing the higher end speed and damage slices will be good for are weapons below the cap. Krayted weapons won't benifit... so don't expect all those uber rich players with their Krayted rifles to come looking for damage slices. But I guess they could get the critical bonus if they've hit the caps already..... hmmm... I guess the uber rich will still want slices then.
Hey look at it this way... now we can set up Smuggler Hunt Days. Group up with your fellow Smugglas and go beat on some mobs. I think it'll be more fun than fighting with other profs who don't know what we're going through. Help each other out, share your findings, make friends and contacts and make that money!

Its good to keep your eye on the forums, I know I try to.. but its simply impossible to read up on every single piece of information written on these boards.. If one were suppoesed to do that, then there wouldnt be any time left to play..
I did not see anything about Crates not being salvagable, only that WUK and AUK would convert into new parts.. I made alot of them beacuse I dont support the whole Loot based thingy SOE have going atm.
I feel stoopid now, and I really hope they fix it so crated items also will be salvageable.
Besides.. this game shouldnt rely on every single player keeping them selves up to date on the forums..
There are no mentioning in the "knowledgebase" on how the new slicing works.. how are people supposed to know how to do it with out any written word ingame.
Yep, they really need to work on the way they give the player information. I dont see any note about: "You need to read the official Forums at least once a day or we will kick you in the rear end..."
Never had this problem in any MMO. Sure, you could read the forums but important informations were given via login-screen or something.

I think that they converted the existing tools at all was a nice touch by the Dev Team - they didn't need to, remember.
And the fact that the converting process is a bit of a pita is understandable, to be honest, as part of the slicing process now is that SMugglers need to take the incentive to go out and get the tools...and the fact that they appear ot be lootable from space as well means that none of us other than crafter Smugglers without JTL honestly have a right to moan to loudly, and I'm not sure how many of them there are.
But I do agree the communication has been very poor. Smugglers who don't come here must feel utterly lost.
No jtl here. Another problem: No part 3 for "Secret of the Syren" for me either... /cry
