Thread: Laser carbine converted
Yeah, they really gyped the lazers on this one. My Krayt (which used +80 tissues if I remember correctly) came out to a max 20 points higher than one I bought off a vendor 15 minutes later (mine was 760, Posli's was 740). The difference is mine's krayted and sliced, this one is clean. This is retarded.
On the bright side tho, I"m glad they changed it to a level 50 something gun instead of the 22 they originally planned. Guess I need to get an elite krayted now. (or goraxed)
Well if you folks would have been around for the testing of the CU and reading posts here, you would know the Laser was a Level 22 Carbine but we got it changed to Level 50.....so be happy you just aren't deleting EVERY SINGLE LASER IN THE GAME.....things could be much worse and seeing these numbers is a HUGE improvement, not something to be upset about.
The Devs won't budge on having the Elite and E11 Mk.2 at Level 54 and those being the only 2 at that level for Carbineer.

My so-so elite is my best carb now. Kinda sucks. How hard can conversion be? IT'S JUST FRACTIONS.
That is the way it is supposed to be, each Level has a cap for Speed and Damage.....thus a higher Level weapon will seem to have converted better when it really is just relative to the allowed range of Speed and Damage.
Only a top 5% weapon will convert beyond the allowed caps, and even that is just allowed to be 20% above the cap....which can make an Exceptional Laser be more than an average Elite, but a top of the line Elite will win out over even the most uber Laser.
So the bottom line is your whine post about something being broken is actually the way it works, not a bug or broken or anything wrong with this part of the conversion....of course the E11 issue is a problem yet.
Actually my 2 Lasers I had in ADK's (not that ADK has anything to do with it, but they were my 2 best Carbines) converted better than 1 of my Elites and 1 of my E11 Mk.2
So a really great Laser will convert higher than an average Elite or E11 Mk.2.......but at the same time I have a really good Elite that blows both the Lasers away.....
Nobody should be surprised by this.....as it has been this way for weeks.
All they said was that they wanted to keep from having "one best weapon". They never said they wouldn'tstop at "2 best weapons".

what bothers me is that Ham and Accu were totally thrown out of the conversion process.
My best Pre-CU Laser, 728 pwp'd at 2.3 speed also had +71 accu and the same hams as an unscoped, unstocked base gun.
Not any more..converted to the same action cost as my regular stocked and scoped guns. Same accu as a +11 loot.
