Thread: Pre-CU Component Nerfage
MordaiSiff wrote:
I guess I underestimate you guys' component stockpiling. I only had a few crates around and just looked at it as a limited time bonus that would dry up in a couple months. The point is that they take effort to correct this short term effect and ignore the final products that converted to trash. The statement about how things would convert relative to how nice they were pre cu was a blatant lie and the strangest thing of all is that I have items w/ the same seriel number that converted completely differently. Anyone want a pre prenerf krayt FWG? 250 base dps. I see the logic in addressing these components even if I don't see it as a big deal in the long term. However, ruining components and weapons we've already invested time, credits, resources and enhancements in is just plain wrong.
Well the devs will say for the type of weapons they converted just fine. I'll explain it a bit:
For example the geo pistol isn't a master pistoleer cl 54 pistol but much lower and thus they adjusted the damage on them to be lower. The geo pistol might still be one of the best geo's there are but well let's face it geo's are crap now and they are not worth my time crafting them.
But i had 5 500+ dmg geo's on my vendor and they got nerfed to hell totally useless!
My old stock 2500+ weapons 1/6 of them are better then what i can craft post-cu oke but most of that is level 6 newb weapons. My old loot made stock 300+ weapons are crap crap crap. All thecredits, resources and timei invested in those weapons all went poof. Not to mention i still had a nice load of subs in my factory's now useless. The least thing they could do was give us some subs worth using after the cu. Oke i lost the weapons fine but all the subs as well that's just a slap in my face.
That's like saying to a combat toon destroy your best armors best weapons and give me 10mil. I didn't stockpile old schematics or subs whatever. I just had a nice collection for loot made weapons. And the lower SAC? -6 etc that was our best bet to make our weapons comparable with some of the quest given weapons.
What more do they want to TAKE from me? All my resources? Why don't the devs just change all the resource requirements add in some FL or DR weee yeah that would be good. FL would decide the color of the blaster fire and DR the condition weee. Oke i'm freaking out a bit right now but still. They are taking so much right now i'm not rich at all i allready had to craft so many new subs. I used so much resources in these last few weeks and i have to buy a lot of new stuff or hope that there will be some good spawns finally. I invested a lot of time in my crafting and using tons of my resources and i was gladi still hada nice supply of pre-cu subs to use in my loot weapons to give them the extra power they deserve.
I just can't figure out why why why are the devs doing so many stupid things. And yes i think the devs are doing really stupid things right now and that might just be because i don't understand why. And the devs are not even trying to explain why. Yes we need to balance the pre-cu subs to adjust them better to the post-cu crafting and results. But why why why do they still mess that up. I'm just lost trying to figure what is making the devs act the way they do.

So now we all get screwed again because apparently this is "game breaking" to so many of you. lol.
Try being a Doctor, than you'll know what "getting screwed" is all about. Imagine if your 1000 pre-cu whatevers had suddenly turned into 1000 Metal Fasteners and you weren't even able to make weapons at all anymore and all your top end pre-made weapons turned into CDEF quality rifles. That's getting screwed, this change doesn't even compare.
i didnt make any weapons with them tho, me and my major competitors didnt want to,
then we realised that other newer smiths on the server were using them , so i reacted by making runs of T21's, elites and laser carbines with them .
something that zz will back me up on ,i never wanted to use these to compete , im glad they are being removed,
i have a rifleman alt tho, so i woulda been silly not to slap some t21's in the facs when i read this news, sommit i consider myself being entitled to considering all the precu components that are junk and also all the pre may10 stuff i had .
my earlier point still stands tho, they can correct these so i woulda expected all the barrels and units corrected aswell.

And that would be a lie also. Before attempting to explain please read the rest of my post, particularly the FWGexample. I'm not comparing it's performance versus other weapons pre and post cu. I'm talking about the same weapon. My non enhanced, basic post cu FWG are FAR better than the old krayt enhanced versionI have.
I know that but they will just say you have to compare them to pre-cu weapons only. I know this because i had a long conversation with a csr about it. since i had about 20 krayted and acklay weapons that changed to 0-0 damage range..

That pretty much happened. To me and almost everyone I know at least.
and you weren't even able to make weapons at all anymore

Hey I do feel for you Doctors, and if that had happened to me I probably would have just quit. Cancelled all but at least one account guaranteed. SOE is f'ning up, have been for a long time now. Pretty much ever since the dev team got a bunch of new "red" members, if you catch my drift. lol.

If they are on a vendor, they will still show a damage stat, however if you pull it from your vendor the damage is wiped.
