Return penalty for using crit buffs

[sachi.mk2]

Its becoming clearer that Loot 2.0 was simple about nerfing crit buffs, the rest of the minor changes were just a red herring to obfuscate the nerf.

It was also about promoting new ArMatrix and rendering anything unlimited with an eco rating less than 60% TT food. Unless you can take an item to mid 60%+ eco rating with amps at mid level.

My view is attachments have value now, not any weapons. Especially if MA intends to introduce 70% eco gear unamped.

I still don't trust the system for grinding on mid level items whatever MA bring in, Been like that for me for the a last 2+ years.

However the sky will never fall, because MA are God in their digital world and they can turn the sun on or off at their desire to lure people back into the game.

P.S. Obviously this is whining - but imho nobody deserves a long term tt return of 92%. It is not a game but milking pure and simple.

Lol, welcome to the mortal club of players.
Like 99% of the other players who never profited before but are still playing for over a decade.

We're already used to being milked, you apparently are not.

Also, you proved it has nothing to do with loot 2.0 as you already losing since 2016, before loot 2.0.

And as others have said, lay of those eomon!
I made the same mistake on the longtooth. Just useless peddrains like any other event mob (as many others have already stated). Only uber loots can make it worthwile, but those are only for the lucky few.

... I'm sure many players will never consider depositing a large sum again due to MA's outright irresponsibility in relation to the wellbeing of players investments. ...

nah, just another temporary setback for some players. Sky wont fall.
Mankind has the strongest ability to adept to any situation of all creatures on this planet.
Entropia has proved that year after year of whining and rage quitting people

July tt return - 113%

So what now?

You put too much emphasis on EST armor, it was just another buff that increased crit damage ("free damage"). It didn't have much more affect than adding an imp ares. Mod Viceroy armor has more effect but oddly is not mentioned even though it can also be used without taking decay...

Well, I would need more information. What were previous months returns, is this a makeup for previous tt losses? Did you get an unusually large tt loot in July? What was your setup? Were you hunting shared loot a lot?

My understanding is base crit hit % is 2%, which means, with no improved ares, the EST represents a 1.2% increase in damage output for same cost.

An improved ares proves an extra 8% increased crit damage and .6% focused blows. Without EST, this is a 0.84% increased damage output for same cost.

However, if you combine EST with the imp ares, the effect of the EST is amplified, and you get 2.42% inproved damage output for same cost, which is a 1.6% increase over just an improved ares. This was insanely good in the old system.

I think....

Edit: I think my base crit rate is not quite right. Seems Entropiawiki has it set around 1.5% instead of 2%...could have sworn it was 2% before 0.0

I just used the Weapon Compare V2 on entropedia. I put 60% crit size buff on a weapon, and to get an equivalent eco I added .6% crit rate in another window on the same weapon.

Anyway, the issue was the stacking, not so much the armor itself. But you could also stack rings/sights/scopes/enhancers/pills so to me this was just another item.
