Reaction to new update: Those are some of the most overpowered things I have ever seen in this game. IMO, they need to be nerfed. New armor: ability is active even while dead. Really annoying. (bug??) Nail gun: impossible to dodge, extreme damage. End of story. Disc shooter: bounces off walls, more powerful than halfway-upgraded WB when purchaced. Can hit you multiple times. Sigh. I'm personally staying away from pvp with randoms until my weapons are more powerful. I just don't stand a chance against those kind of threats, and I don't have the mithril to see the other side other side of the coin.
First thoughts to Update 2.10 I'm just about to give the two newer weapons a spin, but I don't quite have enough mithril on me right now to complete the armour. Bit of a pity, but it looks quite...fiery. And just when I was thinking about a red coloured armour too o_____O The new weapons? At a quick glance, the Black Disk is making me think of the "Spiker" from Halo 3, and the White Drill is deadset making me think of the Mega Buster from the Megaman series -- appearance-wise, I am pretty delighted Now to see how these things actually play out...but according to what Lava has just said, the White Drill (aka the "nail gun) is weaker than the Energy Glove in PvE, but has extreme homing capabilities. It also sounds like it hasn't been scaled down like the Energy Glove either, which could be an issue. As for the Black Disk...it's doing about half the damage of the R700-AA, but if it's bouncing off of walls, that sounds nasty... ----------------------------------- Also...I don't normally ask this, but how is everyone faring with their finances? I could go for some grinding myself, because I'm going broke again
Yes, the update just came out. And if you know what's good for you, if you see a player with a bayonet-looking thing run into a small space...do NOT follow them. Because they're about to shoot a bladed-frisbee which riccochets off the walls. Lava nailed it, that thing is dangerous. I've got the White Drill upgraded to level 8, and I can't say it feels that powerful. That might be because I'm using it as a mid- to long-range deterrent in some CTF matches right now though, there's probably more to it that I've yet to figure out.
Just want to make sure I didn't miss anything with the new update... New armor, cool, but not really as useful as the Perseus set. New weapons, cool, but not really as useful as the M-27B1. A new PvP mode. No changes of any kind to balancing. That pretty much it? Oh, and as I stated before, although I'm loathe to brag about it, suffice it to say I've got more than enough Gold and Mithril... not that it looks like it's going to matter at this point. DBC
Looks like more of a PvP-focused update this time around. Going from Lava's comments and what I've just seen, it looks like the armour and weapons aren't really designed for PvE -- though that being said, the new armour has the highest gold bonus of any single suit that we've seen so far. Otherwise, no changes that will materially affect PvE. I'm going to use the new armour's chest piece as part of my gold-farming set up once I restock enough mithril to get it, but there's otherwise nothing aside from the reintroduction of mithril rewards for at least one of the ad options. Don't worry about the gold/mithril comment, I know you're doing quite well I was offering to do some boss runs to show off the new weapons, if anyone was interested in seeing how they play in a non-hostile setting
Yeah, the new Disc Gun and Chaos armor looks pretty sick, but it doesn't represent any gains for me, so meh. DGMW, Freyr's a business, and PvP is where the money is, but come on guys, give PvE something! DBC
I'd suggest to start emailing them with potential suggestions? I'm not sure how many ideas they'll take on/implement at the end, but you can be guaranteed that a staff member will actually read what you write, given the number of people who got responses about the update. I'm waiting to see what their response is on the suggestion of a "boss rush" mode, but any ideas with regards to encouraging team work sounds like a good email to them
I'm completely cleaned out on mithril. Still have about 1 million gold lying around. Edit: leaving for school, see you guys in about 7 hours
Looks like an interesting PvP based update. Someone, please, do a run with me later. I'm off to the shop to buy everything and upgrade it to level eight. Cheerio! Ah, the joys of money. Speaking of it, I know others aren't as amazingly off, so I wouldn't mind running bosses either...
If you bought the full armour, try running a few random PvP matches get close to your opponents: I'd like to hear a first-hand description of what the "chaos energy zapping" thing is like...
Wow, down to about 700 mithril now... That white drill was a PAIN to get. I'm also short about 70-90 million now as well...
Thoughts on the equipment, if you've tried them out? I'm finding the Black Disk positively overpowered now >.> ----------- Ahh, Perseus/Phoenix users...as much as I appreciate that the two I just ran with in Serpent weren't freeloaders, could you possibly try running with a chaingun or hyper clip next time instead of the Nova and Black Stars? Sliiiightly more efficient than having me go through three hyper clips, but I appreciate the ammo you spent A Perseus and Cygni user for Double Rages, with the second teammate enjoying himself quite a lot with the Black Disk...much appreciated that both of you brought M-27's for the boss, but hyper clips next time plz
I have to say, the drill doesn't mess around when it talks about homing, it's VERY accurate. The black disc I still have to test, but we'll see.
Try the disk in a narrow corridor, such as in the tunnel or behind the building on Air Crash. That thing is a nightmare.
