I have tested the deed regeneration when you destroy the weapon on the live server, and the deed DID come back!

See, THIS is what I have issues with about the anti-decay kit. It should be a one use thing, not "I can use it on whatever I'm grinding at the moment". That's pretty flipping silly. I was always under the impression that you'd use it ONCE on ONE item and that was it. You're done. Being able to swap it between items in this fashion is not what I thought we were getting.

I'm going to go through channels to raise this issue, because it's ludicrous that you can do this, IMHO. I didn't think this was going to be a big deal, but now I'm not convinced.

I'll see if I can't get some info for you and permission to pass it along. Not happy at the moment. >=[

yay Felton very nice to hear. Thou please think about the consequenses this can have even thou its only applicable to one weapon. Theres no knowing how many weeks/months/years untill CU hits and untill then at least the kit is gamebreaking (thou I still think it will be after to, but thats more guesswork from my side).

This kit doesnt seem thourght thru. Dont let them ruin our profession, dont let us be the next Droid Engineers and dont let us degrade into powerupcreating monkeys, I play Weaponssmith to log into vendor sale completed mails, to costume oder crafting for excited people who needs their old weapons replaced. I dont play to only make a few weapons a week cause only the highest of high will sell. Yes new players needs weapons to, no not everyone has a kit, but theres a LOT of return business that will dissappear with this kit. with or without it being retrievable!

Nice to see you going into action thou Best of luck I hope you get them to understand.

Someone on Farstar was offered 300 mil for there exceptional T21 and turned the offer down, why sell when it's the only weapon he will ever need again.

That player, i bet my life on it will still buy weapons. Especially after the CU.
And he will never take his NDK off that rifle, so there's one person who wont be swapping and changing his NDK from weapon to weapon.

Huh? Did I miss something? When have we EVER had a schematic for a Rantok? Or am I being a complete dumba$$ here and not realizing that this was meant as an attempt at humor?

No, no humor attempted, but perhaps I could have been more clear in my post.

No we never have had it, but this is not listed in our WS Issues thread; though I did add a post to that thread about it. I get 4 or 5 requests a week from folks wanting me to stock my vendor with these. I can not get them to understand that Weaponsmiths do not have the schematic for a Tier 4 Brawler weapon. It makes no sense to have aTier 4 cert for a weapon that can only be obtained as a quest item and you cannot keep if you want to complete the Jabba Themepark. Granted, that loot item is a particularly crappy sword but I have to wonder what it would look like if a MWS with nice resources could do with the schematic.

On the anti-decay item, I am not concerned in the slightest, except in the following case. From some reports, it appears to negate the number of charges a DOT weapon has...effectively making the weapon infinite use (didn't we just leave this party?).If true, this will hurt sales of Enhanced E-11's or Modified Republics. Primarily though, folks will be placing these items on Legendary loot items...we probably were not selling much to those guys to begin with; they are off in an economy of their own.

I am also a Master Rifleman. Sure I would place this on a sweet T-21 (if I ever come across one), but that is not the only weapon I use. I use my Krayted Disruptor quitea bit (on Dath and Dant primarily) and I use my trusty Laser Rifle (which has better damage) most of the time; heck I still use an SG-82 in a few situations. I can only choose one item to protect in this manner, so I am still in the market for the others (luckily I know a good MWS <G>.

If anything, as a tradeoff, I would like to see weapons upgraded with this module to be unable to take Powerups. At least then you have to make a choice...permanent decay protection or 33% damage increase. Could be a touch choice, depending on which profession you are and where you are in the skill tree.

Most likely, however, I will use this device to protect my +25 WS Experimentation shirt (when I finally manage to get one), so that will tick off the Tailors :-)

You have 5 which means 4 accounts in game dont have one. I know many people who have sold their NDK and I also know many who didnt take the NDK as rewards and of cause there's many people who dont even qualify.
