Alright people.. this is simple mathematics, and i'm tired of people yelling and shouting they are going to quit because their weapons are way weaker.
You will notice that your weapons have about 1/3 - 1/4 the amount of max damage as they had before.
I'll put this the simplest way possible.. You attack in the new system about4 times faster. So even though your damage is reduced, your attack is faster.. therefore, what it comes down to is the DPS.. Which is no longer listed, as the attacking has to do with you, and how fast you click.
So a weapon that was 1000 max damage and 2.0 spd meant that you could deal 500 dps.. That's without adding your specific character speed stats in and the speed and damage multipliers of the attacks you use.. But we'll keep it simple.
In the new system, that same weapon would have a max damage of only 250! Wow.. that looks like the weapon now sucks!!...
WRONG!
even a slow clicker can click a mouse twice a second.. If anything, in this new system, your going to do more damage. Of course, much of the damage will be mitigated by armor. But when you use your specials, you'll have multipliers to the damage.
Also, EVERYONE'S weapon stats are changing, not just yours.... but until you understand how the system works.. keep your mouth's shut. Wait until you PLAY the frikin thing before flippin out and cancelling your accounts..
AND STOP WHINING!
