Weaponsmith Archive

Encirp that is a very nice gun you crafted,now to respond to the rest of your hijacked thread.
Personally i have never felt that even krayt loot should be as prevalent as it is.There has been a few statments in this post about how veteran weaponsmiths are rewarded by having the good resources,last i checked we still have to go out and find them.
Spending hour after hour,day after day checking each planet and surveying countless resources to find the best one isnt a reward its a commitment to weaponsmithing which alot of you newer weaponsmiths do not understand.
I have been a master weaponsmith since oct. 2003 and let me tell you gathering all my resources has been a long and difficult journey.
I STRONGLY object to people who find or obtain loot on a regular basis and with inferior resources can outcraft my weapon which i can get up to 98% damage.This isnt to say i havnt crafted weapons with looted components,quite the contrary but i do not like to have to do it.
For those who say well all weapons should not be the same i ask you to please look at the weapons of today.Other than caliber most weapons ARE exactly the same.While some people feel that certain weapons are more accurate there isnt one SINGLE weapon that stands out so much it can dominate the market.
It has been my contention that crafting should be a combination of skill,marketing and customer relations.These drops remove all of these factors and in my opinion diminish the quality of the whole merchant-weaponsmith experience as it is now only a matter of making the single bset weapon.
Im sorry if i have offended people,im sorry if you do not agree with me.All this is,is my hope that our market does not continue on a downward spiral as crafting was and always will be my one reason for playing this game.
Thank you and have a great night/day.

Dont know why my paragraphs did not kick in but my post is hard for even me to read.

Capped on damage and sac scatter with 63 acc Gotta get a screenie of it.. forgot to get one before i gave it to my friend

too bad it's energy cause of the looted scopes :/

I have to agree with Mor-Dan. These new power cells are too overpowered. IMO the power cells should only have 2 stats on them as do krayt tissues.

Orre-define krayt tissue and power cells to have 3 random stats out of min damage, max damage, speed or SAC but one of the stats has a detrimental affect to the weapon ie tissue has +50 min damage, +150 max damage +10 SAC or in any other combination

i think they need to rebalance the new loot. this makes krayt tissue and gorax about as useful now as the old +30 base tissue, or the +20 energy capacitors. nice weapons, but bad for the game.

no i disagree WS become useful again, noone needs an WS, when he gets uber looted ROTW weapons!

The only ROTW weapons I couldn't outcraft before were the melee ones, and this doesn't help that. TBH, you don't even need that great of krayt to beat a lot of the ROTW weapons in a big way if you can craft worth a darn.

Frankly, I find this sick because it'll yet again lead to people wanting the "uber" gun with the "uber" loot that just requires you to max out the rows. I thought we had separated ourselves from that by splitting damage/speed and making HAM matter again, but I guess the concept of trying to balance a weapon to the needs of a customer is too hard for some people and they just want to cap everything instead.

Summary: Freakin' lame

/agree, especially when the devs give something that can so easily get this.

I could damage and SAC cap weapons w/ -8 SAC +50 dmg power handler pups.

I've come close without the SAC addition.

I was hoping to cap all three major stats.

this should never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, be possible. it shouldn't be possible to cap two major stats on a weapon, let alone three. me thinks you are the one thinking more with your pocket book than your desire to see a working game with working professions.

this is our WS corspondent? I got a big boot to shove up your A** are you 2 yrs old or just locked in that mind frame?

I must admit, my first thoughts with these new loots were.... I'm sorry to admit $$$$ - I was one of, if not the first WS on our server to use these and auction some of the weapons and did very well out of them.

Now I must admit.... I can see this turning WS into an even more generic proffession than its already become.

Pretty much everyone with any cash already had damage capped weapons.... now they will all damand and have damage and SAC capped weapons, with insane accuracy mods.

Those of us who have invested millions in Krayt and Gorax enhancements are going to see the value of these drop considerably. Less and less people are going to be happy with anything that isnt enhanced....

I don't think this is going to be good for the proffession in the long run at all... it may be a quick buck but the bubble is going to burst if things don't change soon.
