Abolute BS - Master Shipwrights

[Ceka]

I am totally pissed about this....

The FIRST day of release of JTL.. before most of us pre-order sob's even get a copy, there are already Master Shipwrights on Gorath. That's right MASTER shipwrights!

It seems that if you were in the Beta and figured out what you needed that you could stockpile the resources required for the ships and grind it in a day. The ship components, obviously, give massive xp .... and if someone has millions of spare credits, they can waste the piles of resources they need to do it.

Now we will have the same sort of thing as when the regular game went live. Beta testers used ther knowledge of the game mechanics to exploit the factory xp (some had 4 or 5 factories running constantly) to get a HUGE advantage on the other crafters. All the other poor SOB's (myself included - weaponsmith) were at a huge disadvantage, as these guys got all the business on the server.

They need to fix this crap.

My suggestion... Like they's EVER listen to me..

Give us elite professions! For example... weaponsmith elite profession is Ship weapons builder... armorsmith elite profession is Ship shield builder etc. Make these skills cost 0 skill points, but only allow one elite profession selection for a character. Now we have a shipwright who builds the ship frames and purchases ship components like weapons and shields from other crafters.

This idea would make us have to wait a bit longer for the good ships.. and would involve a much greater percentage of the popluation in building them. Plus it would reduce the impact of this idiocy of haveing mastered a crafting profession in 1 day.

Yes, if there are Master Shipwrights already, then that's just sickening. For fairness sake there should be a brake here or some other equalizing game mechanic.

Admittedly, Ceka, I'm one of those beta testers you hate...my only reason for applying for beta was for the reason you gave. Sorry...at least Nocturus should have a mastershipwright tonight (one that doesn't rape everyone on prices).

****Edited to correct to Ceka and not Novall

Haha! This reminds me of the old Space Race static between Russia and the US.

"Our German refugee scientists are better than your German refugee scientists!" :lol:

Except with us it's Beta Testers. Well, I guess if it's gonna be that way then at least we have our own Aces of Spades up the sleeves.

Thanks for the dedication Zannon von Braun and Cista Korolev! :lol:

Hay! Dont confuse Ceka with me!!!

I'm the much sexier mercenary.

Ceka, on the subject of elite profession specializations, you just realize that crafters would group up and still wouldn't be locked out of the uber ship market, right?

I have to say, though, it wasn't only people in Beta who knew what resources were needed to grind out shipwright. I've known them for weeks and I wasn't in beta. If you hit the SOE boards, it was all over there as soon as the NDA expired. Even look at the small trade boards here and you can figure out what is needed.

I personally wouldn't be disgusted by master shipwrights. I would be disgusted to see one standing in Naboo spamming that he's selling ships for 7 mill each.

Its not the players fault Ceka, its SOE's fault for once again screwing up a profession.

[TramelRaggs]

Novall, I don't understand. What did SOE mess up?

all you need are
1. 1 toolbar
2. 6 crafting machines
3. 1 macro
4. plenty of the resources you need
5. a few hours to do a few simple double-clicks of the mouse

I will do it without a macro, just like I did with Architect, Artisan x2, and tailor.
