I was kinda leaning towards that myself. With there being a whole new role of combat I figure it might be best to hold off and experiment on weapons after I figure out what is best for each class of weapon.

Apparently, a weapon that is excellent now, should generally be excellent after the item conversion process. That being said, you won't likely have the option within the item conversion to choose exactly how you want the weapon customized. It seems like a lot more than damage is going to matter now, so you may want to wait so you can customize the weapon to suit your specific tastes.
Looks like a lot of players are gonna be lookin for weapons from non active WS for the next bit I thinks

disregard that second question, your answer cleared that up for me

Question: How are currently crafted uber weapons going to be after the update goes live?
One of the goals of CU is to eliminate "broken" weapons. All weapons will be brought within a reasonable range under the new system, using crafting values as a baseline. If you had an uber weapon before the CU item conversion you will still have an uber weapon afterwards. The person with the highest max damage weapon before the CU should still have the highest max damage weapon afterwards (relatively speaking) - just probably not as far out of line as what is currently possible.
How will current in game weapons work, will they change, will the continue to work as they do now?
I'm not sure I understand the question. What do you mean by "work"?
thanks

I would like to 2nd that. This kind of interaction from an actual developer is something that has always been needed. Very good to see!

Battleaxe, Katana
not sure if anyone else noticed this, but these two weapons are actually the 2h Heavy Axe and 2h Curved Sword respectively.. not sure why they changed their names on the frogs (when you collect the weapon they will have normal names of 2h curved sword etc...)

no idea why they did that. But i'll do my share of testing once i can get weaponsmith skills. I'm not going to grind master artisan and stuff. I'm just waiting for them to upgrade the frogs to give me novice weaponsmith and i'll grind and test from there.

Not sure why this is either, but its been so for a while on the Froggies (since the first time i used them in fact, back in JTL beta). Maybe the dev who was programing the frog just thought of them that way and forgot about their actual names. Doesn't really matter, I think.
On to a question I'd like answered though. Concerning Krayt Tissues and other enhancements. After the CU has gone live, will the Krayt Tissues and other enhancements that I have in storage be similarly adapted one way or another? Will they be increased to match the increased value (overall) of the advanced weapons that we have seen so far? Will they be toned down to stop 'uber' weapons from popping up again? Will they disappear entirely?

Helios has been very helpful in answering some of our WSing questions thus far, and I hope he's able to continue to do so. Kudos and thanks. =)

Got you an answer, or as much of one as there is at the moment. See above

Hmm... Not much of answer, but I guess it'll have to do. From the looks of it, I think I'm gonna be converting all my tissues to weapons when I get home tonight
