Fencer Archive

Hmm... I was told by a friend of mine, who got an info from one of his customers that fencer VB HAM cost would be going up to something similar to VK in the next patch. Can anyone or maybe Raphyl confirm this?

Thanks

I'll check on this specifically just in case, but there has been no mention of this by the Devs. Likely either a nasty rumor just to get your goose, or an excuse by that Weaponsmith to not have to work on his ability to keep HAM costs low, and just bump up the damage.

I'd like to add that there have been no changes like this on Test Center (that I have noticed or heard of), no mention of it on the Correspondent Discussion, and no PMs detailing anything like this.

I can't see how this "customer of a friend" could say s/he has any kind of reliable information on this. But as I said, I will make certain, and get back to you.

Raphayl, my friend only heard from his customer, who bought around 50 sliced VB from his vendor, with the aforementioned reason-VB HAM cost going up in the next patch, thus he's stocking up the old VBs to prepare for it.

I hope this is not true...

I am also skeptical, nothing like this has been mentioned on the weaponsmith boards.

any words Raph?

No VB HAM increase incoming. Just somebody trying to get people all worked up.

phew! thanks alot for the clarification

More likely a weaponsmith trying to move his inventory.

nope

there are regular vibros and advanced. advanced have higher HAM costs. could this be the source of the problem?

Ummm....Yes, all HAM costs on SPECIAL MOVES are going up.

This taken from Test Center Notes.

All new HAM cost system for combat - Special moves take from the max value, but regenerate much, much faster. The end result is that HAM spent on special moves regenerates MUCH faster than damage, so it should make combat more dynamic.

Q3P0 ina nother post said that ALL HAM costs where going up but regenerating faster to make you fight, then back off and regenerate...this is too make your guys fight in groups. If you are alone.. it will be difficult to back off and regenerater your HAM faster when you are the sole target of opposition.

Understand these two things:

1. The devs are going to do what it takes to make people change professions as much as possible cause that is thier defenition of content in this game.

2. They are going to do what it takes to MAKE us fight in groups...plain and simple.

i thought they were talkng about live servers, not test center. test center ham changes haven't even started to go live yet....
