Item stats has changed in the past, practically, but it has mostly been low and mid level players who got affected by it:
- The indtroduction of SIB weapons, which depreciated older weapons (ewe-40, Kat. Determination).
- The Amp Nerf; practically the biggest impact was on opalo+a104, but during my first 6 months or so ingame I hunted alot with Jester D1+a103 (note: this was before Opalo, when the TT weapons were crap), and for higher mid-level players Maddox IV+Dante. Before the amped opalo there was never any mentioning about amps having a big impact of economy, and anyway MA allows ubers to hunt with imk2+a204 which have a simular eco to "amped opalo", and who had mod merc instead of the "too cheap" maddox+dante combo.
- Footguards: When I bought my ghost, I thought I have made my last big armor investment. But suddently you needed to start looking for a rare part and pay >300 ped for it if you wanted to keep your protection.
Can´t agree.
The introduction of SIB weapons didn´t change existing weapons, the stats are still the same at all old style weapons!
Amp Nerf: The stats of the amps are still the same, what changed is the rule how to use it. Definately a nerf but no stats changed!
Footguards: Thats additional items, stats of your ghost or any other armor didn´t change!
These are no items you paid for, its mobs that havechanged and nobody forces you to hunt these adjusted mobs!- Adjusted mobs: To make mod merc owners happy on Crystal Palace. For me it took the fun out of hunting feffs in Spider Crater (using plasma rifle+determination). To make ammo run out much faster if you met an Atrox out there in the wild. To make it impossible to use nerveblast as "spare ammo" if you ran out of ammo on a feff, or got an estophyl after you. To change Molisk Leaders from being "challenging" to "not worth the trouble".
At the Deer Mall stats of shops changed that we the shopowners already paid for!
If MA would introduce shops that are a lot cheaper and have much more itempoints that would devalue our shops. Such a change would come close to a devaluation of items you mentioned above.
But MA didn´t implement new content that devalued our shops, they changed the stats (Fee!).
What would you say if your Ghost Armor would have less protection with next VU and have the stats of a Pixi, after the change?
Would this be acceptable for you?
