Thread: Can not use old FWG5 Schematics
Ok, so before the patch I thought to myself "I will just makea few FWG5 schematics so I can make good FWG5s untill I run out of the stuff I need to make them". Ok, so they changed my schematics too....... not good but I can live with it. My mistake for not making them before the patch.
My "changed" schematics do not have the BHs but still display the stats they were made with? I have tried to use these schematics but they do not work. Has anyone been able to use a old schematic that was changed?

I agree with the Devs doing that but I feel stupid for not making the guns and just expecting that I would be able to use the schematics. It does kind of feel like I have been violated with my schematics being nerffed. What hurts most is that I was holding off making the good FWG5s with the new "fixed" barrels untill the old ones were sold

...Now Ive got a worthless schematic....and a dozen or 2 crates or pretty much worthless advanced feeds...what a waste of time..materials..game play...Im annoyed...I wish they (devs) gave some warning this would have happened...but they never read my posts anyway...
Ditto that....I was considering going ahead and running loads of them...But I got to chatting with a friend who is also a master weaponsmith on my server...we both said heck, we'll just put schematics aside...Whoopeeee!! Lotta good that did!... I had a little over a crate laying around...Due to the situation I raised my price from 10k to 25k last night....They still absolutely flew off my vendor....People know. So, I've got a few of these and some scatters left now...and no launchers. Don't feel too bad....a lot of us were banking on the shematic thing. SOE showed us
At least I am not alone on this. Funny how my schematic still show the good stats... just to taunt me I think

That is funny that the schematic still shows the goods stats..sans..blaster handler...what a tease
I agree it is a drag but think about this situation:
I findan awesome krayt tissue, make an advd power handler and proceed to make and FWG schemtic in anticipation for the patch. So now you have a beefed up FWG5. If we were allowed to use schematics, this would create a potential exploit where people could be making Krayt level FWG5's (among other weapons) for practically nothing. Now that would be a reason to get upset about.

That was never possible. Schematics using krayt tissues or other enhancements still require one enhancement per item with the same serial number as the one used for the schematic.
Yes what I'm saying is if you allow the old schematics to work without the NEED for a power handler you'd have an overpowerd FWG5 for a smaller amount of resources. But then again, this is a moot point anyways.
Also, I've experimented with tissue that has no serial number (they dropped for a while then they went back to serial numbers) and if you use those to make a schematic you can use ANY serial number tissue to create the item.

I think I have a round 50 pre-patch FWG5's in one of my factories, that I made up the night before the patch.
Whew.
