Weaponsmith Archive

• We are going to convert all existing itemsto what they need to be. In some cases, the functionality of an item no longer exists, so we will adapt it to make it useful under the new system. Stims (Stimulants) fall into this category. Many of you are concerned about weapons. In many cases the speed and damage values of your weapons will change. As part of the conversion, we are maintaining the scale of all the weapons across the servers. This means, that if you had one of the most powerful weapons on the server before CU, you will still have one of the most powerful weapons on the server after CU. Though it is likely the stats will have been altered.

Guess that answers that!!!

I'm glad I don't have any amazing weapons that I've grown to love, because I have zero faith in the devs to make this "stat transfer" go smoothly. Just basing my opinion on EVERY patch/publish they've ever done...

answered?


that really doesn't answer anything in any detail to decide when to make weps... unless you want to trust that everything will be on an even scale and weps you might make today would still be the ones people choose to use later.

look at t21s for example... damage may be anything from 300 for a badly crafted to 4k or 5k for legendary loot.. if that scale gets condensed linearly then your pre cu 500max damage with nice krayt might get screwed over (please ignoring the genreal dstain for wasting krayt for t21s.. just a useful example for #s sake). Even if its not linear, is the conversion going to be smart enough to give credit where credit is due in all cases?

and like i said, who is to say that the same weapons will be the ones people choose later. The current system may have at times favored someone with a geo pistol and mind shot, or an uber powerhammer.. do we really know enough to say if we're not going to be living in a world of geo carbines, executioners hacks and sg82s later just becuase that's the way all the realignment falls.

that all said, I'm still playing as if the CURB is a myth.. from a consumer POV if i need a wep now i'll get it made, if I have something i really don't need now - like high speed krayt tissues on my speedcapped chars - i'll store em away and re-evaluate later.

A glimpse into my mind and why I have trouble sleeping.......Think too much!!

• What if loot is scaled back and all my Tissues, bones and so fourth decrease in stats?


• What if I make them all into the subcomponents and only the Sub's get decreased?


• I'm gonna do half as Subcomponents and leave the rest as is....yeah that's it.

I was thinking about how they have done conversions in the past and what to do with the ones I make.

• Anyone have any crates that you can't get stuff out of? (Tell you to destroy them....not in game anymore)


• What if I make the parts and can't get them out of the crate?


• Should I make the parts then take them out of the crates and put in backpacks?

just random thoughts.......
