Weaponsmith Archive

Well I gotta say this is effecting Ship and Armour people as well.

If they say its intentional then its another crafting nerf as far as I can see and why wasn't it documented.

If they say it was not intentional then a swift repair would be the order of the day regardless of the upcoming crafter friendly expansion.

Tiggs may have posted but in the usual "Sitting On The Fence" fashion, I would rather have a clear statement being made so I can decide whether to keep my crafting toon going.

Years of harvesting good resource at stake here and I'm getting truly fed up of them changing the resource stats for crafting.

moby, dont flame people for being unsatisified with both the product and the communication from those responsible for it. people have every right to be displeased and voice that displeasure. if youre happy happy joy joy then fine, go in game andbuy a ticket from the nearest shuttle to candyland. dont blow sunshine up our asses like youre a dev or cutey newly forum trolling tiggy poo. we know when we are getting shafted thank you very much.

and did you seriously suggest to us that thinking about all the other problems in the game would somehow make this better? lol. i know you tried to make it some witty sarcastic comment that makes us think "geez. theyve screwed up so many other things, i guess its ok we are screwed!" great point.

thanks man. next time follow your gut and dont post.

OK guys just STOP. Geez the amountof ill-conceived whining and frank ingratitude for the response/follow-up in the first place astounds me!! We're here reporting a bug and asking they look into it. The Director of Customer Relations comes into our forums and tells us they are looking into it... and the best response that some of us can think to come up with is "Bleh, that's not GOOD enough, this doesn't take that long, we want it yesterday, you're just being lazy, *assorted whining*, etc etc..." Damn if I were a Dev I wouldn't post in here either... looks what it gets them!

Try to consider forjust a moment that Weaponsmiths MIGHT NOT be the ONLY profession in the game... mind-boggling I know. But even more absurd... that we may NOT be the only one's with bugs or issues right now. (This is getting even MORE ridiculous.) In fact... even more unnerving... there may in fact be HUNDREDS or even THOUSANDS of players/communities in this game... all of which have their own sets of bugs and issues they are likely reporting... and each of these issues must be investigated in turn.

Not only that... but you never know when we might be on the verge of a MAJOR game update and who knows... they MIGHT be a bit busy right now. There is also the most remote possibility that NONE of us have the slightest clue what needs to be done of the back-end of a game this size to investigate and/or correct this problem.

Listen guys.. I'm obviously WS too... and I don't like this "bug" anymore than you do. I would love it to be resolved tomorrow. BUT... i am not about to berate the ONLY helping hand we have on the Dev team and start telling them it's not good enough... not least of all because I know I haven't the slightest idea what needs to happen nor how they'll fix it. We just need to relax and take a collective pill... please.

You know... your comments would hold a little more water if we knew that it was a bug.

But you see.... we don't.

If Tiggs had posted today "Look, we are sorry but this is a bug and we will try and get it fixed as soon as possible" there would have been some grumbling but mostly people would be grateful that it was just a bug. Or if Tiggs had posted that "This is here to stay, sorry it wasnt communicated before" then there would have been a lot of grumbling but people would have resigned themselves to it.

But to come on after 5 days of knowing about this and to say.... "I don't know if its a bug or not" is pathetic. Not on Tiggs part because she can only communicate what she is told... or is allowed to tell. But on SOE's part for being totally incompetent at running a game, communicating with its staff or customers and being able torelease anything that is remotely ready to be pushed live.

And for your comments about "Weaponsmiths not being the only people in the game" yeah your damn right, go take a peek on some of the other forums to see how happy they all are.

Tiggs is in the firing line constantly - its unfortunate but its also her job. I don't blame Tiggs for any of the issues in this game - the real problems are with the people who make the decisions not with the people who have to communicate them but I don't see Smed posting here.

This is being investigated now to see what is going on. I am not saying if it is a bug or as intended until after the investigation.

If you can stop feeling hard-done by for just a sec you'll see absolutely NONE of what you just wrote holds any bearing whatsoever on my post. Displeased? Of course! Voicing your concern? Absolutely! At NO point did I suggest these things are inappropriate. You'll also see thebit where I mentioned I didn't like the bug either. That sound "happy happy" to you?

If you think that's flaming... well that's your issue not mine.What *I* find alarming is the outright whining. The "This takes five minutes" posts. The "WHY aren't you giving us an answer NOW" posts. Griping that I'd expect from a5 yr old.Voicing concern is every poster's right... being whiney and just flinging unproductive slings at the Devs and Tiggs? Now that's just stupid. If you're unhappy with things... by all means TELLus about it rationally... but don't call the Devs idiots and then expectthem to bend over backwards for you.

Now your response I can respect. You're right we don't know if it's a bug or not... but seems to me a lot of folks are approaching it like it's NOT a bug already. If it's a stealth nerf... hey by ALL means get upset I know I will be. But till then, till we KNOW... I tend to think the benefit of the doubt is in order. Meh.

And for your comments about "Weaponsmiths not being the only people in the game" yeah your damn right, go take a peek on some of the other forums to see how happy they all are.

Absolutely. Only reason I mentioned that is to illustrate that WS clearly are not the only ones having problems... hence why we may not get a immediate response to all of ours.

Tiggs is in the firing line constantly - its unfortunate but its also her job. I don't blame Tiggs for any of the issues in this game - the real problems are with the people who make the decisions not with the people who have to communicate them but I don't see Smed posting here.

Again... absolutely. I think Tiggs does a great job with what she is given to work with, and who (i.e. US) she has to work with.

What am I missing?

Folks are saying that the CD cap for steel is now 1000. If the slot takes any steel, then why shouldn't it be this way since certain steel can spawn with 1000 CD.

If the cap was lower then it sounds like it was a bug before and it has now been fixed.

Now Iron is a different story since Iron is limited to 500 so the cap should be 500.
