Incorrect, this is not the first time. The bp130 is a clear example of the split from early on.
100% agreed, that was on the other side tho... i considered MA attitude to lower eff rising the level of weapons like something tied to the fact that "looter" skill naturally grows with level so that a level 40 player with his 20 looter and a LP40 would compensate with his 70+looter and 65 eff at bp130.
@ Power: I underline that using a Mayhem Amp dumps 150 ped per day that sum up to 5k ped per month... hard to get back that amount in markup... and Zorra is ....... well as Evey said.
this sentence is interesting:
> The unlimited weapon market is all hype
Compared to ? i suppose to Armatrix? 120% armatrix MU ....
1. UL chips (low level 50 base dps) 900 ped.... no armatrix equivalent, compared to Pistol that has same range... armatrix has 7.5% impact to bullet, to recoup 900 ped ceteris paribus just need to shot 900/0.075/0.2 = 60.000 Ped ammo (120 hours gaming)
2. UL KNifes (small ones, 400 ped for a fire dagger) same as above, 60 hours slicing to equivalent
3. small EWE41 mil adj 3600 ped 480 hours shooting
after those timeframes you save MU, i agree it can apply to Rifles (those kind of weapons are overvalued, because after 3 4 shot the mosnter is on you and because the loot 2.0 compensate "MOST" of defense costs (MA Source)
> until you have the skills for the top DPP/EFF/DPS weapons in game (mostly Mayhem weapons and a few FEN), which are also overhyped
They are overpriced for the 50k ped per month player, if you reach the 200k 300k monthly cycle things change, and i agree that prices are high, both in real terms (need to put 3k to 20k EUR in game for those and in term of time to recoup teh value (18 to 40 months math wise on amortization, they are not for everyone, but they are becoming cheaper, soon more ppl can afford or self grind)
> so that those looting them can continue to extract PED from your pockets while you risk it all in speculative markup.
you are swapping CAUSE and EFFECT, sorry
look at a "hyped item", a Sinew adjusted in Next Island off chimeras in term of about 0.1% drop rate in my experence... yo are to kill 1000 mosnter that is 3000 ped and collect one on average.
first ones were sold at 250 ped and they returned 8% to players, now are 75 ped and they return 2.5%.... guess what? MU is dried to 97.5% TT compensation... game is efficient and top tier killers get items first and can flood market and reduce "free profit zones".....
with new system all gamers can have a mayhem weapon... no more competition, just grind. time factors in. some "pullers" have invested before kept tokens (they avoided pulling pills so stacked items worth at least 0.5 ped each and did not use them... for stacking 120k token they avoided using 60k ped liquidity pool for their hunt so... this is why they demand a premium. and i admit that some items are not hyped at all.. a bp110 for 190k that appeared in forum is 10% premium to extract so.... it is not Hype. it is demand.... the 40...80 zone is the median and average of players so... there is most demand and less availability of items.
Going back to OP, this is a really slow item with nice eff comparable to some second line 2.0 tools (the 78/82% range) like claws, tegretov, ep38, mace, the downside is the DPP so it requires a larger ped card (15% above ep38 as an example
on a personal basis i would never use it, but as Evey pointed, with 25% reaload, amped at t8 it is another item.
and i am curious how high someone can pay for that... all the people that comment are ready to back with real PED ? i did not see "38k? cheapo i will pay 50k now" in any post...
chat is a national sport in all countries, who said "it is worth 80k" should add a line with "and i am ready to back my opinion offering 60k because at that price it is a bargain"
until then i still remain with my idea of 30k for a t0 of it.
