Okay the NDA has been lifted if only partly (we still can't tell you about the feedback we get from the Devs in the beta forums).

But I would like to collect the questions and info that we can share so far in one thread.


Before I go ahead with this thread I would like to remind all testers to read THs thread about the NDA lifting so you know what you can say and what you cant say.


Please use this thread


  • To ask questions about the expansion

  • To answer questions posed

  • To Write Information not covered by the NDA

  • Post Screenshots

  • Ect.

Once again I urge you to play by the rules TH set up as I want this thread to live to inform the WS community about the upcoming expansion

I can start it off by saying that so far there has only been found one schematics which is a Shipwright one.


There is only a few CL1 quests so far and the lowest creature I have seen was a CL 60+


All this being said. There is still being added content daily so Im definately still expecting to see craftabe weapons.


ATM, I am looking for clearance of TH to post someting more specific (nothing major, but something You might want to know )


There is some quest reward weapons taht has been found with CL 55 and some special weapons effect. It has not been confirmed wether or not the CL 55 is intended or a bug, but Im guessing it is intended which could open up for some interesting possiility in the future (think double elite certification <--- this is only my dream and is not something a dev or anyone else has mentioned (just to be clear )


Also Most quest rewards acnnot be sliced or power upped. Which is very good news

I will post some stats of the rewards weapons if noone beats me too it, but good news is that those I have seen so far does not compare to craftable ones (though they look cool )

That being said the stats could change before launch so Im not completely confident yet

So, if i can infer....


1. No point taking the WS toon along, as you will be eaten alive


2. No content included for the WS profession


3. No new craftable weapons identified, either as straight additions, or as a loot drop item (eg schematic/barrel combo etc)


4. No additional components identified for use within WS crafting (eg power cells, lava flea innards etc)


If someone can clarify that - it would be good.

You can Survive as a CL 1, especially as not all creatures are aggro. But its not a walk in the park, especially further into the planet.


There is reasons to go there though. There is a few quests that you can complete as a CL 1 (though not many) and there is new resources on Mustafar, which I would assume to be used in the craftable weapons when they finally surface)


2. No content included for the WS profession


Atm, there is only the resources for the Weaponsmith profession, but dont give up yet. I do still believe they will implement at least some craftable weapons (believe me I am trying to get dev attention in there )


3. No new craftable weapons identified, either as straight additions, or as a loot drop item (eg schematic/barrel combo etc)


No not yet, but hopefully there will be soon


4. No additional components identified for use within WS crafting (eg power cells, lava flea innards etc)


No


If someone can clarify that - it would be good.



Sry atm it seems pretty depressing, but Im almost certain that we will get something, Imhave startedwaving neonsigns in there to get attention hopefully something will come of it


There is 13 days to releases yet and they are adding new stuff daily so there is a good chance they just havent come around to adding ours so dont despair yet

Before jumping to conclusions this is pulled from the frogs not something people have gained from quests. My belief is that all weapons on the frogs are damage capped and those are not indications of how the weapons will be if they are reward weapons (they might be craftables though they have not appeared yet.).


All weapons from the frogs are at damage cap even the old ones (ALR Elite Carbine etc)


I have to go to uni now Ill be back in 6-7 hours to continue this discussion, hopefully ´more info I can sharewill have surfaced when I do

Seeing the Devs recent love for weaponsmiths. I do not belive at all that those will be craftable. I mean it took them almost 2 yearsto get the beam rifle working.


I have had no buisness for the upper skill weapons since the CU. aside from my guild wanting featherweight fwg5's when the casigns frist came out. I have resorted to low end noob weapons.

No, the size of the planet is not really geared towards itso dont expect to see it introduced later on either.


I have to say that I am very certain there will be more schematics than the one that has surfaced so give it a few days before despairing


Ill keep you posted and Ill keep forwarding our consern to the devs.

You have to use the good old sample method (and no, its no more fun than it was the first time) Oh and resources are like the ones on live (IE Mustafarian Steel ETC)


And I have been to uni. Endured a whole 3 hour lecture


Also about the grumpy comment. I understand that fully, Im one of the old ones being Grumpy is a Veteran Weaponsmith Trademark
