I love Artisan and power-ups are one of the reasons. BUT, i hate how the stats are randomized... I would love to be able to have more STAT control over them. such as, if I want HIGH damage power-up, I focus on that stat... etc etc.



What do you guys think?


just maybe a dev will read this and take consider it.... and just maybe bring it up at team meeting (one can wish lol)

I disagree. I put alot of time into creating the best powerups, and sell them at a premium price. Alot of Artisans sell pure crap powerups at 4-7k a crate with crappy mods that nobody will want to use. Sure it may take a few hours to get about 4 usable 3+ stat power ups, but when you sell them at 30-40 cpu, its worth the time and effort.

I have spent hours just to get Damage/speed/wound power-ups and make sure to max out the % on all of them.


BUT the random cycle sucks m8. If we were able to pick and choose the type of stat for the powerup, you would still be able to adjust the price to your will.


I don't think most people know that the stats are random.


And if we were able to choose i feel the market would be better servered. As we would be able to focus on what each customer request or want.



Think about how much time is wasted by us, or a customer looking for a certian type of power, but can't get it.

People actually pay 40 cpu for your powerups? I buy 33% max 16% min 10% health cost ones for 1200 a crate. Powerups should be easier, its just frustrating to make them, for no good reason.

well one aspect of power up I find completely stupid is the fact that you have couplers and grips, muzzels and barrels but its all still random. Why not have it so certain power up types affect certain stats, heck still keep it a bit random if you want, say you know if you pick a coupler, its primary stat will be point cost reduce, but its random in which stat. I mean I don't get why all they power up are included if its completely random

They DO affect different stats, you can get different combinations with different powerups. I cant remember now, but there aresites that show the possible combinations.

No kidding!!!!

Just spent 1 1/2 hours trying to get a MaxDam/MinDam schematic and I got two. On crit failed while experimenting the other blew up into a 4 stat power up where the MinDam was no longer the secondary stat.

Really there's only a few types that sell and this isn't how I want to spend my game time. It's like continually trying to craft a FWG5 and always getting a cdef pistol.

Really, things like this make sit back and go "And I'm Paying for this?"

Who in their right mind would pay that for power ups on valcyn the going rate for top quality power ups is 2500 per crate max. also some control in power up stats would definitely be worth while just as with weaponsmithing etc. If you spent your time and money to purchase extreme quality resources you should have the flexibility to focus on particular stats then you could make power ups more personalized for each customer and his/her profession and weaponary. It would take power up making to another level...

They are not entirely random. Ever seen a 32%max+15%min damage barrel or grip? You can only get that on a Muzzle.
