I am very unhappy.

For me, looks is as important as the functionality.

Themain reason why I'm not playing WoW is that I don't like the graphics.

I only handcraft(with full grphics possible) enhanced weaps, and I know alot of peeps buy the lowerend ones(speed sliced base tissue guns for example), just to hang on the walls for decoration cause they look cool.I also get many orders such as "can ya make me every rifle with all the stuff on it so i can decorate my house,I'm rifleman and want my house to look the part"

Well I'm not gonna quit or anything over this but man they got to get this back sometime soon in the future....I can already picture peeps walkin in there houses next month lookin at the crap base graphics on all them guns they hang on there wall(and spent a good chunk of change on as there ussually special orders)..and just gettin pissed wverytime they look at them.Doesnt sound like much in itself but if they got other issues with the CU its just 1 more lil nail in the coffin.

I really hope they get this fixed and back in quickly. I hand craft ALL of my weapons and spend alot of time choosing which parts to show so I can get the look just right.

Why cant they leave the current system in while they fix it??

Hopefully when (if) they put it back in it will work properly, I would like to see the gun use the exact same graphic as the subcomponenets, for example having a silver scope look like the silver scope on all weapons. I dont mind if other people can see these or not but it would be nice.
Right now I would rather have this fixed than have the CU.

apologies if that's the case... just read like there was more then just the visual issue.. that these parts were being removed to make thigns easier to balance

Scopes, stocks, barrels and the like are not being removed as components. Only the customized visual appearance that some of these components provided will be disabled for CU. This will also affect previously customized weapons/components.

Ive read this whole thread and I still do not understand why the visual graphics of a weapon is "unbalancing" for the CU? Can someone explain this simply to me?

I suspect that the new weapon graphicsdo not have the samevariants as the originalweapons, thus the code was simplified to make the final item default to the stock weapon image. Without seeing the code, however, I am just speculating.

In any case,it has nothing to do with balance. It has everything to do with the CURBbeing pushed out to coincide with the expansion. Another one of SOE's many lies to the community... "We don't want to rush the CU."

Do any of you REALLY think we'll ever get this back? *rolls eyes*

It may not SEEM like much but it's a step backwards IMO. And to think Pistoleers wanted holsters...lol. If they can't keep customized barrel/scope visuals working holsters will NEVER mange to make it.

Notice they didn't explicitly say they were going to fix it later...they didn't even IMPLY they were going to fix it later.

Guess we kiss that nice little feature off. I'm disappointed...really.

You mean folks actually SAW the barrels and scopes on weapons??? I think I've seen two scopes on a weapon I've made in the nearly year I've been Master WS.

Good point,you would only see the customizations if it wasyour own weapon or on was on displayand I thinkmaybe you could have viewed it in a trade window first or in your inventory, then saw the customizations after they were equipped by another player. Bottom line is it never worked to where other players could always see the custom features. Having said that it really blows to see SOE taking the easy way out as it was a cool feature even though it never worked quite right. You can forget about them ever taking the time to fix something like this as they have better things to do with their design time like breaking virtually every feature players like about this game in the CU.

/cry!

my scoped and barreled pistols were one of my favorite things in this game.
this game is all about customization. from your character's species, gender, body-appearance, clothes/armor, and weapons.
unfortunately weapons and armor were always the least customizable. but they should put the same amount of effort into making them just as customizable as clothes and body-appearance.

come on art department! you're a vital part of making this game fun and immersive. we need you to get armor and weapon customization to a level worthy of the name Star Wars.

I"d like to see a dev post in reply to our disgust over this. I really want to hear either "we WILL fix it after CU" or "sorry, it's gone forever" THEN I'd like to see an apology for taking another little piece of a nice looking game and flushing it down the toilet.
