Yes exactly, I thought I should instill fear like the kgb, but instead Empire Intelligence feels like a Disney movie, and I have no authority, nor power, nor resources to accomplish anything. I run around and SHOULD be executing, interrogating, using ultra tech, being invisible, people should be working for me, but instead I am always known on every planet, no technology, serving everyone else... I have played 3 of 8 story lines and the agent has been the least amazing. For example I have run into far more traps and technology with the bounty hunter than the agent. When on Aldercrap I am supposed to have no power as an agent there since its not an empire planet. I feel just as powerless on empire homeworlds... By the way Darth Vader blowing up Alderaan earned him instant light side V.... I seriously wish I could beat him 2 the punch.

Dude, brilliantly said. Enough said.

Exactly, they need to fix the other crafting deficiencies and then see where biochem is at. Not nuke it, and then wonder why its not making the other crafts better. It ignores the stop gaps and assumes the #s in biochem were the only reason why level 50 crafting is broken.

I also don't mind if they want to downscale the numbers. That's fine, but Rakata needs to stay the best. A scaled nerf fine. If the soft cap stats are to high scale it down at all levels. Making blues stronger than soul bound purples of higher level and biochem requirements is misguided not good balancing. If they believe the buffs are to strong fix it al all tiers. The patch does not address that concern either.

Lol glad you like Rakata being worse than 48 blues. Also please link the post where they will buff, I have only seen across the board nerfs, and no posts.

To be honest I am more concerned about crafting as a whole, not just biochem, and having the Rakata Nerfed to 124 or less should concern any person who likes to craft. This is also my last ditch effort in getting crafting fixed as a whole. If not I will shut up and make twink items and not worry about crafting past 49 because it doesn't matter and won't in the future. BW won't also let us know what their expectations are for crafting... Do they ever want crafting to be end game or useful at 50. We all know crafting makes great twink items. We all know crafting makes money We all know we replace our level 50 crafted items. RIP high level crafting system...

Your indifferent and I respect that. I am a crafting fanatic and they have butchered yet another craft. I am going ape shards because they aren't fixing crafting. They need to buff the crafting not nerf them one at a time.

Even if I don't want to buy exotech I can simply buy the 2 hours that are as strong as the Rakata, and I can buy heal pots stronger than the Rakata without the increased execute range. What else do I spend my money on new armor? I have the best from raiding. They needed to add consumption items to EVERY craft not lop off biochem at the knees a second time.

It was for biochem, so why not others? Your disbelief in the impending nerfs astounded me. Also Rakata medpacks are around 112 not even 124

Get the crew skill app for Android you can run missions all day.

Thanks for this I laughed so hard. It is for fools and entrapment, and I need my fix.

And another person who sees something wrong with level 48 blues being stronger than the level 50 soul bound purple Rakata. What is the world coming 2 Maybe I should throw stones like everyone else lol. Thanks for the post

Ok pick up biochem and enjoy making stuff only for others. You have no personal perks. Enjoy staying what ever craft you are and getting Nerfed in the future. Can't wait to buy your exotech and you Rakata is turned into 124.

If crafting only means making credits then I am crafting by doing daily missions. What am I to buy with my credits? Missions are convent, and they are commerce I trade labor for credits and reward. No dice crafting hasn't added value to the game. I participate in commerce by selling boe items and resources on the trade terminal, is selling a craft now?

Thanks for the posts keep them coming. Getting more attention for my thread, so say I am qqing all you want. I have credits I can just buy exotech everything and ignore crafting all together. Have fun with you Rakata getting Nerfed on your craft.

Ok send me your credits and feel justified No he said making money added value, I don't consider that a value I am concerned with. What I am concerned with is my items from the craft are worse than what I can sell. Why be the craft? If I can make endless credits I don't need the craft. I can just buy them. Why be craft X if I get no personal gain except money? That's not my goal from crafting. A market is important because it means I produce a valued item, but what do I buy with my credits? Rakata gear I already have from raiding.... Sure.

I guess I failed to get my point across. I don't want equal treatment by nerfing all crafts, but I want your attention because your craft will be next. The proposed change of making Rakata 124 should concern everyone. Making exotech sellable while soul bound Rakata being worse SHOULD concern all crafters, not biochem only.

EXCELLENT!!! some one not just speaking... The proposed change is silly, accomplishs not, and butchers Rakata (soon for all crafts) Think before random balance patching that doesn't balance a thing.

Let's see your Rakata do less than your 48 blues, and you not cry. Sell me your exotech and you keep you 48 blues deal? Also credits can't buy me gear except for twinks so even if I did try to make money off of biochem which you say is value what would I spend it on. I make more money selling mats running daily missions than crafting. I lose money by crafting for the guild. Try again to justify this you failed.

Excellent point I can't find 1 Dev post in the crafting forums other than the white crystal hack. It's mostly me venting about the pain inflicted on me I doubt anyone will respond, care, or fix anything. I expect more crafting nerfs though...

Lol wait till your Rakata are made 124, and what you sell is better than what you keep for yourself.

No its not and if it is I expect equal treatment to all crafts. Your exotech is now my item an your Rakata is 124. The sellable energized are reusable so you won't have to buy from me but one time without havig the craft. Second they can take action against me if they like I may cancel on my own.

Seriously BW you epic fail again, and are virtually raking us biochem crafters over a bed of glass. Patch 1.1.2 Biochem Energized and Exotech stims and adrenals no longer require Biochem to use. Energized and Exotech stims and adrenals are no longer bound, allowing them to be traded or sold to other players. Rakata reusable stims and adrenals have been reduced in power, providing buffs equal to Energized stims and adrenals. The Exotech Med Unit schematic obtained from the Eternity Vault Operation now functions properly and can be learned. The facts: first nerf made the Rakata medpack level 50 epic heal for 1650 less than the blue level 48 medpack that can be sold. The Rakata also increases your execute range because its empty health. Won't use that item. Fact Energized = 126 rating items Exotech = 136 rating items Rakata = 140 rating items Patch is making Rakata = Energized I can sell you 136, but my self buff is 124... What the heck???? So Rakata is now a penalty? What next Rakata barrels getting Nerfed to 124 and they can sell me exotech? This is asinine to say the least. All crafters should be up in arms for your craft might be next. Biochem has done nothing but cost me money, and now its just debt. I have spent millions outfitting the guild, crafting pots, stims, implants and not paid a dime because its for guild progression. Now I can make you reusables that are stronger than my personal stash... What I want from BW is the crafting lead moved to something he can't hurt. Give him a safty helmet and keep him out of trouble. Second I want a refund. You have destroyed the hundred hours I put into this craft, and endless credits. I spent weeks farming materials and now you nerf it to nothing without warning. Third I want equal treatment for all crafts. All Rakata needs to be Nerfed to 124 period. Then all exotech should be sellable. I want to buy better stuff than other crafts make for themselves. It's only fair. Use a brain BW it has a use.... The numbers speak for themselves. Yes this is an emotionally charged post because you are hitting a select group insanely hard. I have spent the time, sunk the credits, and played by the rules and now you attack one group only. It feels like I am being persecuted or something I never did wrong Recap Rakata medpack 1650 less than level 48 blue and has debuff. Rakata = 124 except for medpacks it is less than a 48 I can make you better than the special soulbound items that require I keep my craft.

I thought it was a level issue also, but I failed to RE a level 19 from green to blue, 47 times. Switched characters tried to make RE blue armor mod level 21 failed 30ish times ran out of mats. Switched characters tried to make a blue level 31 implant failed all night, which was 69 tries. I have run into a horrible run of luck, but I don't believe its broken. For a week now I have failed to RE a green to blue at any level. I would guess several hundred tries over 4 characters and no success. I suspect i will start making RE left and right as soon as this famine breaks. I love the fact I am gambling, and not crafting...

You also elude to an excellent point with the gems. Currently I make almost double by selling raw mats as I do selling the biochem producables. Currently I think the most profitable profession is just 3 gathering skills.
