Are the Enhancements Broken?

Archived Post

I've noticed that most of my items can no longer take the Enhancements that they once did. Is this an intentional change?

This is quite frustrating since it makes crafting pretty much worthless for my Arms character. I have old Sec Utility Dex gear that I cannot upgrade.

Can a dev chime in on this one please? I'd really like to know if this is "as intended" or "whoops, we screwed up". If it's a temp problem then I'll play my other characters happily until it's fixed.

yes its intentional, and yes it makes most crafting pretty useless, apprently enhancements were always supposed to have these limitations

I have a crafted primary deffense +24 ego, +8 dex since l28 or 26 (I think) and I am 32 because most defense Items had great amounts of CON and PRE which I don't use much ( although I should level my CON; I don't die too much with Lightning Reflexes and CON 10). Anyway... I think EGO isn't supposed to be a primary attribute for a defense slot. I think it is fair they had changed it, but it is really UNFAIR people who leveld craft after the patch can't have this sort of enhancements I have, and people who leveled before me can have l40 EGO Def enhancements I wont ever be able to get.

Was it in the patch notes somewhere?

I believe so, but I can't remember which ones. If you go to a crafting trainer post-crisis, click the "Skill Schools" button (I think that one) and you'll see what stats you can put into each type of upgrade for all three crafts. Last I checked, this isn't entirely absolute as some of my utility enhancements can still be used in my defense upgrades, but that'll probably be fixed in the near future.
