Currently on chilastra, there is a 2000 dmg T-21... it can kill a guy wearing full comp with all those nice defenses like he wasnt even there, whats gonna happen when that 90% armor is gone... this guy is going to be owning entire armies of people, destroying the point of the CU


I am praying all these legendary weapons get destroyed when the CU comes out...


I know all you guys are hugging youre exceptional weapons thinking, "man, this guy is nutz, i'd rather lose a limb then this thing"


Just hear me out, and think about it.


With an 800 damage t-21, im doing 1800+ dmg with 1 shot, *sometimes when the enemy isnt even kd'ed*


But with an exceptional weapon, you are going to be dropping people in one shot.


We are powerful enough guys, your exceptional weapon isn't going to be needed, and if your so attatched to it that you can't go on living without it... drink some bleech, always solves that problem...

They are being "downsized". Check out the conversion forums in the game update area for more info.

Oh, I guess I missed your point. Sorry about that.


Since the devs have stated that only a small portion of the playerbase read the forums, I'm going to be curious to see what the effect of this "downsizing" is going to be when the CU is released live. I'm guessing that there are going to be quite a number of surprised players on that day.

so you are telling me that if you loot a 2000 max t21 you would hope it gets ruin by the cu?

isnt the t21 a master lvl weapon now? so i doubt itll be downsized much as you say. things are "downsized" based on their base combat lvl requirement. for example if you have a cdef pistol that does 400 damage now, which is better than your basic laser carbine now, in the cu that pistol wont convert into something that is better than the basic cu laser carbine. but thats cause they dont want lowly ppl having access to lowly lvl weapons that do great damage. master lvl weapons i havent seen reduced but thats not to say that arent.

Yes char, i know id feel sad about it, but i am able to see past my own good will and look at the big picture, if im that dominant, it'll be to easy to win, and become no fun, very quickly.

I have a 1800 max dam T21 (with pup). I don't expect it to be 2.5 times better than a normal T21 in CU, but at least it should be better than most crafted/krayt T21s after CU.

Have you seen the reports from TC Bria, seems existing weapons are in for a big nerf.... A 1.5k damage T21 got downgraded to the point where one crafted post CU with base tissues will out damage it.......

well that cant be right I remeber the exact words from the devs:
"If you had a very good weapon before the cu, you will still have a very good weapon after the cu"

if they do that, then pvp will be ruled by riflemen and swordsmen, seeing as they got the most legendaries and exceptionals, and with anti decay kits and what not out, and armor being crap now, legendaries and exceptionals would dominate.


the weapons need to be nerfed -_-

At one time I read the devs were aiming for the best looted weapons not being more than 15% better than a well crafted weapon of the same type. This seems already to work in the conversion, since legendaries are brought to roughly 110% of great crafted ones (pre-CU). What doesnt seem to work currently is that the legendary will be sub-par to a post-CU crafted one.
