Ah too bad that Proton Rifles are non existant Pre CU and the one shown in the pic is an exploited one with double damage Power Ups on it.


U can easiliy repeat thisexploit by transferring ure char to another server put a pup on ure weapon and another when ure char is on the server u wanted it to be transferred. Voila there u have a Weapon like this....


However the Devs are aware of this and it will hopefully being fixed soon. Man i wished so much it would be possible to get legally such a Weapon.


StarNick correct the Dam cap on the Proton Rifle its sadly much lower .


kaosdivine u damn lier!!! should have told me its exploited i wouldnt have so much hope to be powerfull even as a Commando...

Did you just call me a liar and exploiter?
Strong words my son, suggest you calm down, apologize and delete that comment.

LOL u still say u looted the weapon with that high stats? We have some Weapons like that on our server and the exploit is easy repeatable by bugged looted stocks for crafted weapons and by server transfer with looted or rewarded weapons. A weapon with this damage is legally non existanton all live serverssince CU. Not even the ex-exceptional converted above the dam caps weapons arent with that high damage.


And ure weapon sir is a post CU weapon. Its no need to defend ure hard "earned" weapon by using some mechanisms since it will anyway be resetted to damage caps when the fix for all the "over the dam caps" sliced, crafted or transferred weapons will come one day. The devs are allready aware of these possibilitys to get weapons like this.


So u better lay back and press ure "I win button" as often as u can cause soon it will be set back to the stats it should have.


greetings


ps. btw i dont have anything against exploiters as long as they show their results in public so that devs are being aware of it.

to clarify it more with the words of someone who knows best about commando weapons...

As for the Proton Rifle...as far as I know, they don't drop -that- high, but I have heard they can get -that- high.






For me this very clear what it should mean. It doesnt drop like that but it is possible to "get" it like that.Whatever get means in this context. I doubt it means the legal way. Now go to the WS forum if u still think nobody knows about how this is an exploit they are having alot of examples for this.

I cant go and check ure log or something i see only the results and this one is an item with stats it is not supposed to have due balancing issues. Thats why a weapon like this dont drop - at least not by Necrosis but a Frog.


Its really exciting how much SOE lost control about this game due to all this bugs which are causing f.e. people running around with uber weapons or having unlimited mind or what not.

You know the one thing you seem to keep missing about his proton rifle? ITS SLICED!


I'm ammazed how often you keep missing that. It didnt drop with 1200's damage. It dropped with less and got damage sliced. And with a pup a gun like that -will- hit for 1400's. I've got one too that is just a little bit lower with a crappy pre-cu damage pup. it hits for 1348 or something like that. I'll ahve to double check it but it was, if i recall 1090 pre-slice, 8 percent slice should pop that up to 1177 +30% from a pup should push that up around 1530 if I have my math right. So it's entirely possible to have a legitimate proton rifle that hits post slice and with a pup for 1400's damage.

Okay listen up hotshot:
I never said I looted it with that high stats (although some ppl on this forums do btw...). In fact I did not even loot it myself but bought it since it was one of the first proton rifles that came on Chimeara's market.
I had it ADK'ed the moment I bought it from a guy, then had it sliced by some other guy BUT only for 4% dmg, 2% spd & 3% crit since the Illegal Core Boosters were not very common drops that time.
2 weeks pass, and a publish and hotfix were introduced that affected smuggler and slicing (increased drop rate of smuggler loot aswell) and I got my hands on an ICB so I decided to finish my rifle with a tier4 dmg slice (8%).
The result is the rifle you have seen in that screenshot (669-1240 without the pup).
I can assure you NOONE did ANYTHING wrong or exploited in ANY way. I have no clue how the numbers add up to be freaking honest but frankly I don't care much about it either.

I tracked your posts a bit and was very surprised... maybe it is you who wants an "I-win" button after all.
According to the PM you sent me I am almost sure I'm right.

ehm...hor can you lsice for 4% speed, 4% dam and 3% crit, then still slice it up to 12% speed?


I think you miszworded something there

Oh btw, since the NDA is removed...these weapon damages came directly off of the TC2 Character Builder frogs. Which made me think, if the dev's are handing our premium-grade weapons...these probably are the highest they can get to. Couldn't slice beyond these, and I did add +4 damage to each of the max damage ranges since the frog PFT was only 1148. It was an educated guess, but according to some WS the rocket launcher caps at out with 425.50 max damage, so it's not fully acurate.

So...Proton Rifles I believe can definately get up to or near that value...but they don't drop at that value, hence will require some extensive modification. If they were craftable...I bet that max damage could easily be reached (probably is the case...even for looted weapons, they might have a max damage that is higher than where the players can loot it? Who knows)

Not quite, when using a power-up the +30% is taken from the min damage rather than max. So in case of this weapon the base stats are669 - 1240 with +31.8% of the min added on (213).

Hmm still it's technically feasible without exploitation. I've seen a fair bit of variety in proton rifle damage. ones wehre the max was under 1k pre-slice to ones that were almost 1100 pre-slice. And SAC doesnt allways seem to be quite constant either. There's the odd one that drops with 120 cost instead of 119. I've also found that more and more of the looted weapons off of NPCs are actually not bad. (I recently looted an ALR that had almost 1k damage)


Exploiting them yes would obviously guarantee such results. But I wouldnt quite rule it out as being a legitimate weapon yet. I've also found damage slicing is abit... odd. The calculations dont allways add up to 8 percent. Some times I've noticed it will boost it more than 8 percent for some odd reason. (and it's not just rounding cause it's not off by 1 decimal kinda thing)

Oh i agree totally. Did a vendor search for a blackscale acid launcher yesterday. 7 diffrent weapons there with over 200 points in variance in damage and 5 in SAC. Picked the cheapest one up and sliced it up to 936 with 189 elemental damage.
Wasnt sure if it had an AoE attack like the acid stream launcher, however after testing it on a couple of friends its seems that it does.

Trust me guys such a weapon with 880-1450 dam roughly is only possible with an exploit. As soon as a friend of me will do server transfer i will try to make such a weapon myself and post the pic of it. Its really easy actually to boost the damage of a looted weapon to 30% higher than it normaly has after !slice! then put a 30% dam pup on it.


There are alot of exploited weapons around atm which are caused by pre cu components such as looted stocks for ranged weapons and acklay stuff for melee weapons. The Weaponsmith are mad about this cause they actually have to do this exploit to be competive with the ones who sell weapons with this amazing damage.


Hopefully this will be fixed next publish but i doubt cause its not only the pre cu components but the server transfer which doesnt recognise that a weapon has a damage pup on it so u can pup it again.


So there are ways to get amazing damages on lootedandon crafted weapons by one of these ways. Actually uber damage cap weapons sell damn good on my server and everyone rich is buying them. Such as PH with 800-1400 dam or Trando Rifles with 700-1300 dam. its just insane what damage these weapons cause...


The Proton Rifle as another example can drop with stats around 530 - 1060 but not much higher and after a 8% slice it will roughly have 570 (8% of min = 40) -1150 (8% of max=80)dam but not more by any chance. Put a damage pup with 34%(cap) on it and it has 740 - 1340 damage. (note : the damage pup adds the % of the min dam on both min max damage)


I would give my calculation a variance of +-20 points in min max but thats the highest all higher stats are not possible by the legal way.
