Am I just a bad weapon smith and cant make any of theses or are they just totally unrealistic requests?


one guy wanted a 400+ dps carbine

another guy wanted an intimidator pistol with high dps (360+), high accuracy, high wound, "super low speed"

lots of people wanting to know what i can make that a combat level xx can use. Honestly, has any ws memorized all the weapon levels for all the professions? I hav'nt gotten around to it yet.

I occassionally get unrealistic requests, and I just explain to them what is and isn't possible. If they believe me, fine. If not, they'll learn eventually (like when they never find a base 400 DPS weapon, which is probably impossible to achieve with all the hardcaps in the system now).

Isn't this just part of being a WS? Nothing was really any different pre-CU. People always want more than they can get and they're disappointed when it doesn't turn out to be an "I win" button. Just give em their options and tell them to get their gun sliced when slicing finally (if ever) gets fixed.

I educate them as to what's possible and it usually ends there. The occasional idiot who can't take "No" for an answer just gets /addignore'd.
