Merry Mayhem 2017 Preview

A lot of thought has been put into this it seems, good job.
Now just up to correctly implementing and removing lags before it starts!

Higher tier weapons, suddenly more valuable me thinks ;)

And a cap on looted strongboxes too.

With the last changed, I got a rise from 190something HP to 217 HP.

The highest tiered weapon i have (which seems impossible to gain additional tiers on, sigh) is a plasma rifle with around 120 DMG/22 attacks/minute. That gives, hm, 44 dmg/sec. Where 99 is max.

I could use a weapon such as ArMatrix LR-60 (I got level ~62 in laser sniper). It means ~85 dmg/sec.

Now recalling the new policy regarding damage from mobs. Well, I just say that I could imagine a mob designed to be fun for people with HP up to 240 and weapon with 99 dmg/sec deals more damage than the armor+fap I use is.

I'll just add that in the past, level 3 (out of 1-5) has been convenient for me. And in mayhem I've done those spiders with plasma rifle or sword. Those Days are over it seems.

But that's just me. For those of you who have great gear it seems like fun!

You need a better PC and a better internet provider.
 
OK. I get the HP caps...I can only hunt in group 8 and above.

I get the dps cap and just hope that the gun I bought for MM a while ago doesn't breach the limits.

The killer question for me is what level mob MA expect me to fight in level 8? If they think I can hunt a big ass mob just because I have a certain HP and DPS, they are seriously underestimating my armour.

I guess we will find out in time, but my solo hunting could be over before it starts :(

MA really need to explain what max base dps is.

Is this the maximum possible dps of the weapon in a T0 state with no buffs/attachments?

If adding attachments/Enhancers will this result in the weapon being unable to be equipped once inside?
 
I don't really see what the confusion is here:

"This restriction is based on the base damage-per-second of an item, and does not include any amps, buffs or enhancers. Base DPS is calculated as follows: max damage * (attacks per minute / 60)."

Say I have a weapon that does a maximum damage of 50. No amps, buffs or enhancers effect this.
It does 50 attacks per minute. No amps, buffs or enhancers effect this.

50 x (50/60, which is 0.8333etc) = 41.666 etc, round up to 42 base DPS.

In this scenario though, to achieve the "Participants may only have an active best time in one category at a time" goal, do I choose a category equivalent to my max base DPS, regardless of health, or into the category more suitable for my max health level...? Hmmm!

Or am I missing the obvious, and I'm in fact totally confused instead?!
 
Ok, so after some tought I am in cat. 7 it seems.
My first tought is: great! It's good that you give the bigger playerbase (lower levels) a chance of winning something!

These are the things I am affraid of:
- I don't have anything NEAR 98 base DPS with my level 73 blp hit highest atm..
- I use Jaguar + 5b/adj resto and UR125 emergency fap. How hard will mobs hit? Probably won't stand a chance
- What hp will mobs have? I'd rather kill 1000 100 hp mobs than 10 10.000 during a run.
- Regarding mob hp, I probably won't kill them "efficient" for maximum loot composition because my dps is too low..

:eyecrazy:

I feel like it should be DPS based, not HP/attributes. But let's see how this goes first!
 
I like this :yay:
 
Could mean high tier weapons and rings/attachments/enhancers are worthwhile again...since those don't affect the base.
 
Do we get 100% compensation if we see 1 ms of lag?

You can't compete in a time based event with this shit lag going on, come on MA you should realize this by now. Lag completely eliminated me from wanting to try BatSim now.

FFA booooo, about only thing to do there is get the points and sell them and try to loot strong boxes. Only the rich will win that event like always. FFA is a PAY to Win not sure why this is even a thing as team it sucks the best team event for MM was the years 2012-2014 since then is has kind of sucked because FFA killed wanting to try to compete in the team event.

Just my thoughts. I'll probably try the solo if I see any lag I am out. Will do the FFA but not even going to care to earn points all my points are for sale, PM me if interested in buying them.
 
I belong to Category 7 with 225 HP. Unfortunately my skills are all over the place and I am pretty much level 60-65 allround (handgun/knife/longblades/rifle) and level 50 clubs and brawler with mindforce professions around level 30-35, 4 k skills away from 300k

My best weapons are the xeno dagger which is (67/60)x66 = 73,7 dps
ML-35 ME (42/60)x88 = 61,6
Castorian_Combat_Mace_Mk._V (42/60)x114 =79,8 dps

So my best weapon is 18 dps away from the max Base dps

I guess I will enter one instance to try it. and then mehhh. I guess I should have specialised instead of being all round, then I would have less HP. But I applaud the change!




for cat 7, the best possible weapon is EWE LC-400 submission (40/60)x147 = 98 dps
mod merc is also allowed (86/60)x67 = 96.03 dps.

Category 7
Max Health: 240
Max Base DPS: 98

Read the whole thread, that was added with an edit some time after the OP was first posted.

That thing confounds me, apparently I am not smart enough to figure it out, I need a tutorial :hammer:

Normally you can enter a mob, and you can see which weapon is the most efficient in killing it (without overkill, etc)

But if you want a list of all the weapons, simply click search bottom left..
 
"with a chance for up to 10 additional Christmas Strongboxes in loot."

What does that part mean? Are we limited to 11 looted strongboxes through the entire event?

Each instance.
 
Tokens are not tradeable, but are they lootable in space and will a trader npc be on each planet?
 
Will the Arkadian Gold Rush be available in this same instance system ?

I think they mean in one loot, you can loot 11 boxes at most per boss defeated.
 
I'm a little worried since I want to participate but my HP puts me in cat 7. My dps and armor are nowhere near that level though so the mobs will most likely be too strong for me. Other than that it does seem like an interesting change and I hope it works out for the best.
