Thread: Should We Rifleman Start Preparing???
Secondly, they're going to do a balance pass on ALL weapons and armor during the CURB. Your uber T21 might be pretty good now, but there's no way of telling how it will be post CURB. There will be NO Pre-Nerf items.

Yeah - No prenerf weapons...
There has tobe a loot pass to bring things such as pre-nerf weapons into balance. Logically it has to happen or a balance pass would be useless. There currently exist weapons that are exponentially stronger then others in the same category which means so players hold more power then many others combined. This is bad for the game and is very very unbalancing.

So, in my opinion i think that we rifleman should start stocking up on uber t21s and Drx-6's becuase i have feeling they won't be there after the CURB. Also, pre-nerfed weapons go for a lot. A lot of people say our speed will be effected, so i guess start stocking up on fast rifle weapons.
well, thats good. Im tired of getting beat by these !k+ PH that all these swordsman have now. It seems like every single swordsman has one of them. Pretty annoying. Im glad that finally, the winner in a combat situation will depend on his/her tactics, or what is juicing his/her weapon.

lol i seriously doubt this. There will be pre-nerf weapons.....the devs cant just strip players of their weapons. Many of the players have spent a loooooong time hunting Elders only to get ONE good weapon, or got a good slice or got lucky with a krayt and made a uber gun.....etc. All i'm saying is that the "uber" players are "uber" because theyve earned it through work(although it may be sitting at the computer for 8+ hours a day, its still work.....to them atleast).
..... shakes her head and walks away ....

Everytime I hear this argument I want to gag.
Almsot all of us worked damned hard for our uber weapons, it took me over 40 hours of krayt killing to make the 50m I needed for my dxr, we spend 5 hrs a night hunting, praying the loot gods will bestow our goods upon us. The odds of exceptional loot is tiny, 1/100000, not to mention the odds of good execptional is even smaller. On our server there are 3 Exceptional T21's, and two are dead, one Exceptional PH, and 3 Dxr's (One of which I am a proud owner).Yeha there ar esome poons who Ebay their way to uberness, but the rest of us earn it. This is like telling someone who hologrinded for six months and 30 profs, and then another six months to finish their temp, that they are unbalancing and don't deserve it.

I don't think there will be such a thing as "pre nerf weapons", however I think all weapons with a certain code (ie.the code for theT21s etc.) will have a precentage or exponentiallybased reduction in damage. This would bring the exceptional and legendary weapons more in balance compared to the average craftable weapon, reducing the "uberness" of random lucky loot drops. A player with an ADKed legendary rifle or powerhammer will rule PvE against anything but a group of 5or morewith the average type crafted weapons, which hardly seems logical. It might seem unfair to the guy who spent countless of hours getting an uber weapon, but when you have a situation of "The greater population" vs "Individual" the former is to be taken into consideration first.
SOE does not have a history of fixing things like this however, sopeople willprobably still haveweapons that can outdamage everyone in the game, whichof course the owners wouldn't have any scrouples doing since killstealing is somewhat acceptable by the "l33t" community.
