i do like some of the secrecy, but there are things that i wish were out in open, like what loots what, i look at the loot charts, see something i wanna get, go kill 1000’s of them, lose all my money, and still dont get the item i wanted.
well, i cant really say i want that either, cause then it would ruin the fun of hunting different mobs.
arrrg, i have typed this next paragragh 50 times, and i cant think of a constructive way to put it, its got me that pissed off, then i realize what im mad at, so i had to break down and go grab a beer on a night i didnt really feel like drinking. anyways, here goes, sorries if i offend anyone, feel free to flame me, or let me know if im wrong, and i can forget about it.
first, i just hear most of what im about to say, from various people, people that seem to come back after not playing for 3 years, they say. but then they pull something out like “trousers”, i dont remember the exact name of the pants, but they said they were pregold, so untill told other wise, i guess i should believe. if you know noggin, he bought them, and i absolutley love them on him.
but i heard shadow armor, and bigger guns used to drop like crazy, along with my all time favorite item that i hope to loot one day, a mod fap, i know when i first started playin, about 10 months ago, people said they looted off of allos, so i hunted allos, non-stop, then they dont loot them anymore, and someone tells me that mod-faps havent looted for a very long time, but where did these ubers, like angel, ps, and all others, that i really respect alot, so no offence, but where did they get them? THEY LOOTED THEM, an option that isnt available to me as a noob, either is an impfap, or even adj fap, tho i did recently head an uber say aluri or kreltin loot adj faps, but havent heard anything else on it.
how did most of the ubers get the skills they have now? well, 10 months ago it was easy to skill, thats mostly how i got to the level i am now, hunting berries for 15 hours straight with a mann mph, but now i cant get skills off of esto providers for the life of me, so i moved to crafting a bit more, but you cant skill on filters anymore. so while some have 10k usd sitting at home to spend on a mod fap, or shooting at troxie guards to get skills, cause thats pretty much the only thing that really gives me any skills that i can actually kill, tho i try to avoid em, i dont have that kind of money.
it just really pisses me off that some of these arent available anymore, and there hasnt been anything to replace them, and there was never an announcment from MA saying something like “hey, if you want your mod fap, or shadow armor, you shoulda started playin 3 years ago” or an announcment from them saying “hey, we are about to totally crush the value of an axe, so sell the 300 ya got now”, and was there ever a “hey, we are going to stop looting items that have low decay, and massive powers” message out there? NO, i look at zaps, and i see the loot chart getting worse and worse every VU, best i can hope for is a fap-110, which i think is horrible, ill just stick to my 2600 and its decay. and as far as the mk II on the drones, i think i have given up. but 1 more thing, just to go over it again, and i know its been said too many times already, and the issue is probably dead, but it still pisses me off, was there ever a message, or sign from MA that said anything like “HEY, WE ARE GOING TO MASSIVELY SLOW DOWN THE SKILL GAINING LEVELS TOMARROW, SO SKILL UP TONIGHT” ? no, there wasnt, i found out about it when i went to log in, had the update, and read the pages, and each VU, i realize there is something taken away, or something added that costs more.
so while i have ranted, and have gone through a 6-pack now, watched a few episodes of season-3 of 24, im still pissed at this topic, i would love for the same options that were available, to be available to me, and other noobs to the game, or items added to replace them, right now, there isnt a decent fap that does over 42 heal, with a decent reload. as far as armor, i looted jag thighs from estos a week ago, but we all know how bad jag shows up onthe charts, so i just sold them. i want to know if a fap that can heal for 100 is even lootable anymore, probably not, which limits the number of people that can hunt huge mobs that i so badly want to hunt, oh, and if you mention the 2550 deluxe or whatever it is, that costs 1.8 ped each click, ah, hell, im not even gonna go there, lol.
i just think they should have left those choices up to the comunity, somehow, or communicated better with WHY it was being done.
i didnt start this game for the idea that i would make money, i pay to play games at an arcade, i pay for ps games, i paid for other pc games, im a gamer, its what i do when i get home from bartending and dealing with butts all day and night. but i didnt expect to have to pay 10k usd for 1 item in a game, if its available to anyone, or anyone has it, it should be lootable i think, and it kills me that not everyone can have one, because it would open up a wide door for lots of noobs like me to hunt mobs that i can actually gain decent skills on now days.
i think i pay enough in repairs on my armor and guns for MA to make a mod fap lootable again, when it should have never been taken away, and i think i have tt’d enough goblin and pixie parts for shadow armor to be looted again.
