I used to be able to focus charge everyone all the same amount of charges and then they would be able to sweat.
Now I go up to ppl and its much like every thing else varying the amount of charges given. Whats up with that I now sometimes have to use more ME to get up to the same lvl of charges as before
Another thing when I charge myself I cant sweat, is this a bug or what I still get hit when sweating, this isnt fair and was the main reason for getting a focus chip. Now it has been spoilt I will be putting my implants in storage for a while untill things lvl out or change
Edit – Ok I have submitted a support claim and now just awaiting their response I will update as soon as I get it.
To MA
It appears that since the new VU 7.4 the focus chip no longer works when sweating mobs. Not only this but the amount of charges given per try varies now considerably. I now have a focus chip that is of no real use to me for sweating the main reason I got the chip.
Please can you inform me wheter this is an intented tweak to the system if so it seems to making ME un-efficent to use? as sweat price has also increased.
Will the chips be able to be used for sweating again??
Why change the amount of charges per try, surely this just increases the decay rate as I now have to click many more times to get the same lvl of charges on other avatars
The VU seems to have affected all of the MF chips. There is now an added delay after you fire/use the chip before it will start recharge or before you can change to a different weapon. The delay is increased with higher level chips. For my Potent Firestorm, the delay is like 5 seconds. So its 5 sec + recharge time before I can use it again. Makes it almost useless for hunting anything that it cant kill with first shot.
And the focus is a hit and miss kind of thing also. Sometime I get 11 focus on first try, but most often its just 3. And sometimes even with full focus charges, I get interupted by mobs. This happens way to often. makes focus almost useless also.
And dont get me started on the teleport chip. I almost ALWAYS end up in the middle of a group of mobs when I use it. They even start hitting me before I’m fully arrived. So unless they are lowlevel mobs, I die. Makes teleport chip almost useless.
Do you see a patern here ? read all my last sentences…MF is now relegated to the realm of “Hobby”. good only for aweing the noobs at the sweat farms.

tp chip was always like that wasn’t it?
Of course you are going to tp into mobs as you can’t predict where they will be and the chip’s accuracy is skill dependant.
I think it adds to the fun of using it - never knowing what you will appear next to.

Actually, no, it wasnt always like that. I used to teleport everywhere, and occationally end next to some mobs. Now it ALL the time. And now its not just one or two, its serveral. But Im sure its because of mob density. I dont like teleporting to my death. which by the time you load in, you’ve already been hit several times, and depending on mob level, you can be dead, or near death. Seems a waste of decay to armor and FAP, just to TP places.
Then again, maybe it’s just me…my loot sux lately too
loot dont get me started on loot I have had very little since this new VU I have spent most of my time playing and dancing as opposed to hunting. I only seem to loot well now when in a team never on my own.
And now I cant sweat anymore, I think its time for me to get some fapping skills get a gd heal rate going on. I just hope they address the ME use soon its far too expensive. I used to like charging my focus then sweating away or charging the person being hit but nowdays being only a medium chip I often only do 3 charges.
I think I am going to do a support case I will let you all know there answer

lol… mob density IS to blame for that, and like wanda said… using the TP chips is fun because you dunno whats gonna happen… if you dont like TPing into mobs, dont use it
i like not knowing whats there… makes it more realistic

I use it occationally, but not as near as much as I used to. My main contention was that the mobs start to hit you before you even load in and can defend yourself. THAT is NOT realistic, just expensive…

I agree. Mobs should be oblivious to your existance until you move. That would be easy to change. Depending on what’s there, you may still be killed, but at least you might get a few shots off while still keeping the realism of never knowing what you’re TP’ing in to…
sound fair… alright, let’s get me in with MA and I’ll make some changes… reeeeeaaady, GO!

The focus charges are used when Sweating. It stops the mobs from disrupting your concentration while you start the sweat process.
I don’t think it helps you get anymore sweat, but it does help with not having the mobs keep disturbing you while you try to sweat them and they hit you.
lol i did sweating for 2 weeks only lol
so that is the only thing i did not try at that moment.
had bleu thingy sometimes and when mod did hit me the thingy was gone with it.
but hmmmz my topic answer was more for the fun mentioned lol

Hello, the use of focus for sweating was a bug that we have now fixed.

Actually the focus enables you continue to charge and fire offensive MF chips while being attacked by mobs as well as MF heal and replenish focus charges.
get a gd heal rate going on. I just hope they address the ME use soon its far too expensive. I used to like charging my focus then sweating away or charging the person being hit but nowdays being only a medium chip I often only do 3 charges.
