Please, tell me how that amp is soooooooo good when we have other items clearly in the same range, with more uses, better availability, better useability
I don't get it.
Yeah it is pregold, it will never drop again, it is rare
but... calculating only at its
maximum damage
using that amp at 4,648 DMG/pec with 14 maximum damage, lets say you are glitching the system and dealing FULL damage with the amp every use, that means you will have 14 000 000 damage on 1 000 000 uses, right?
Now, a million uses of this amp will land you at a cost of 1 000 000 * 3,012 = 3 012 000 pec.
3 012 000 / 100 = 30 120 ped.
30 120 peds of decay on that amp means you have to repair it fully 753 times (if decay went to 0 instead of 1,2 peds)
The Improved A 105 amplifier will put out 4,612 DMG/pec
Here we go again, another use of 1 000 000 uses. This time you will deal a total of 18 000 000 damage.
A million uses with Imp a105 will be 1 000 000* 3,903 = 3 903 000 pec
3 903 000 / 100 = 39 030 peds cost.
39 030 / 184 = 212 times needed to repair but this is only if the Improved a105 decayed fully and didn't use ammo as part of the cost........
143 ammo cells is 1,43 pec per use which will be ammo instead of decay. But to make it simple, i am using this as decay and not ammo, it is after all the same cost just split differently over decay or ammo use.
The difference here really, the Imp A105 due to higher damage, of course, will need less uses to reach the same amount of damage done. Much better if you are going to cycle a lot of peds.
The COST difference of reaching the same amount of damage?
Take a million pec, 1 000 000 * DPP for each to see what the damage differnce will be for the same amount of pecs cycled.
1 000 000 * 4,648 = 4 648 000 damage using 10 000 ped.
1 000 000 * 4,612 = 4 612 000 damage using 10 000 ped.
The difference is a staggering 36 000 damage.. When only making max damage hits for a million uses.. Realisticly, take split it in two for an avarage, so 18 000 damage more at the same peds cycled. At a buyout of 25 000 ped... LOL
I am sure that this could have made a lot of difference, when we weren't playing in loot 2.0
Now the loot is directly decided on the cost to kill, not a specific amount of loot per mob out there as it used to be (times when you profited well with EST and crit gear, due to low cost per kill and loot had a minimum on the mob you hunted, do the same today... profit won't be as big or as great TT wise as it was back then)
This means the loot will be relevant to the cost.. So with the Ancient 104, you will do less damage per hit, need to cycle for longer, mobs reg, the cost is more, but the loot return in % is going to be the same as with the improved a105 which has more damage, meaning less reg, less cost...
The difference in these two items DPP is so minute it really ain't worth more than a Improved A 105, which is more user friendly with 7218 uses per amp, compared to the extremely low 1289 of the Ancient A 104...
Just go for a Improved a105 if you are looking for a good, eco amp.
The ancient a104 is just sounding cool because of the ancient in front of it.
Disclaimer:
I have not had my coffee or my wine,
I am tired because of the fucking dogs keeping me up all night
and this thread is making me pissed off at what the owner of the amp is trying to show what it is worth and how he has been able to make a profit with it. Before looter skills. Before he got so much more time on his hands.... (so, at a different time in EU... it is not applicable to today)
Bull.Shit.
Also contradicts himself.. He said it was possible to profit with it, and i quote:
I do not think you have a full understanding of how MU works.
Best of luck mate
It has been profitable for me overamping; but with Looter skills having been introduced and the matter that I am now unemployed. I can't game as I did; I remain hopeful with higher level Looter skills players can do better then I can atm.
I do not understand that, really
If it was profitable for you, and you are now unemployed so you can not game the way you used to ( because now you got more time..? but less money to depo?) so now you can't use the amp, to profit and get more peds, because you can't depo, so now you are selling the amp to free up peds, because there is no better way to free up peds than by profiting using this super eco item.
Really after reading this thread I am not surprised if I end up with a massive coronary.
