Adding insult to injury....

Many quest based weapons from the quests themselves so a combatant wont ever need a WS in the first place.

Yep, I logged onto my smuggler alt last night and my Ion Stunner (CL80) had better stats than my converted double capped Featherweight which is now a CL88

Bad bad news...

/sigh

You would think with them already hurting WS so much they would at least give us the ability to make better than looted weapons.

Well I guess WS is going out the window for my toon.

lendyl is doing such a good job, dont have much to add other than HLC no longer has elemental dmg when it converts. mine had 1150 dmg with 40 elec. converted to 147-294 no elemental dmg whatsoever. Im trying to look at the positives to the NGE, but WTH!!!!!! I enjoy my WS toon, crafting has been made so easy (from what it seems) there will be absolutely no fun involved!!!!!!!!!! Looks like ill be either respecing out of trader or cancelling acct

Same here

What the challenge of doing always the same weapons without any sorts of enhancement, without any hope to be able to craft a better one next time ?

Guys relax. The conversions aren't set in stone and I am sure the WS rewrite isn't 100% yet either. Besides there was a post by Tiggs or one of the devs that stated crafted weapons will always be better than looted or quest rewards. It's out there just look for it. Give it a few days. In the meantime go have a beer and a cigarette and relax some.

That must have been the same post where they announced the CH revamp


Honestly I hope you are right, but I'm pretty sure the writing is on the wall.

Question:

How does munitions weapon crafting compare to engineering weapons crafting?

If you craft a weapon in munitions and craft the same weapon in engineering, with the same resources, how do they compare? At the 10-point level? At the 12-point level?

I'm sure someone has mentioned this before but, why have sub components? If they have no stats and cannot be enhanced, why are they in the game?

I don't think anyone's seen any weapon's with the commando tag yet (while there have been those with the BH, Spy, Officer, etc tags),

have you seen a rifle with a spy cert on it?

Can't speak to any "crafting" differences but from what I can tell the engineering line only has a few weapons. I don't remember seeing crossover between the classes so I don't think that test is possible. All the "meat and potatos" weapons are in munitions.

Man, imagine how many customers another MMOG could steal right now if they upgraded their crafting system to have the depth that SWG used to have.

I don't recall seeing any with the spy cert.

I did crafting too, and some stuff is just going away. I had a schem for a geo sword core and got that annoying message about the schematic being removed from the game. I did munitions and so far the rifles turn out the best, followed by the dxr6 carbine.

The elite weapons didn't convert well at all, with max dmg under 100 in many cases.

The sales will be through the roof the first few days as ppl level again. Most start out as CL80 and though it's not confirmed that shuttling around will get you to CL87, they will still need to 'grind' lots of xp to get to CL88 to be able to use the master crafted weapons.
