Items And Loot Archive

I've tried about 4 of these so far (rifle speed and accuracy ones). Only once has the enhancement actually been applied. I've tried double-clicking, using the radial menu, ensuring that my character is selected when I try to use the item... Nothing happens, the count still says 5 and no skill enhancement is applied.

Yes, those are the ones I mean. I've looted some and bought some off the bazaar thinking they'd help me get to Rifleman faster. Jokes on me, I guess!

Ya, that was pretty stupid of you to think that something the devs put into live would actualy work right. Man, you must be a total noooooob to believe something as foolish as that.

Yeah, I must have been on crack. Between these and all the viewscreen/painting kit bugs, I have no idea how this stage of the "loot revamp" went live. Sure, stuff drops, but it doesn't work. I would rather have had them take another 3 days and get it right.

Well, it seems as though they are working fine today... so it seems it's either an intermitent problem or they fixed something.

Of course, I see this post right aftet I submit one asking a similar question. What a n00b.

Anyway, they're doing the same thing for me, except I've never gotten one to work at all, in any way, shape or form. Mainly pistol/carbine accuracy/speed since I'm a ranged MBH. Have not tried my maskscent stims.

Someone else mentioned the painting printer stuff... I've printed quite a few painting from them and haven't had any problems, and see quite a few completed paintings for sale quite cheaply on vendors. So I'm guessing by supply and demand that they're working pretty well on Bloodfin in general.

Would love to know for sure what's going on with the skill stims tho.

Having the same problem with 2H Speed ones on Naritus. They have not worked since gcw patch went live. Have not been in game today, but they were not working last night.

Hmmm... The notes about buffs and states have me thinking. I don't use buffs, so I know that wasn't the cause, and I had food/drink in me the few times they did work. But I wonder if Maskscent counts as a state as far as the skill enhancers are concerned. Otherwise, I didn't have any state effects when trying to apply them before. I'll also have to test under the influence of spice.

The painting kit problems I was talking about are that you need to complete them during a single gaming session, otherwise you lose the parts you added to the kit. So technically they work, but unless you read the forums or check Web sites outside of the game, it's likely you'll screw things up and lose items at least a few times (plus the contents always read [0/5]).

are you guys buffed when you try them ?

i tried while buffed and they didnt work, unbuffed they worked fine
