Thread: my thoughts on why weapon 'breakage' way pulled from test

Thats the point, no one would be bringing weapons back because hardly anyone will get things sliced. If you want to be challanged go special forces with a backpack full of spices and sliced weapons and try to escape from all the guards and players in a town. Theres your challanging smuggler content.
You know thats not half bad an idea. The first thing I've heard you say I agree 100% with.

Albeit a sarcastic comment at the time... you may be on to something....
Um, that is how I play.
Well, la di da. Mr. Fancypants.
Slicing would've been a huge time-investment for the paltry income, so I was glad to see reasons for nonsmugglers to NOT OPT for slicing. Personally, I much prefer the idea of having a one-off, custom, kickass pistol that nobody else would use because it's so tempermental. Ala Han's DL-44. Overpowered to the moon, but he's gotta keep tweaking it otherwise it'll go to pieces on him in the middle of a firefight. I wanted *that.* Screw the nonsmugglers.
But then the reward isn't quite all that. Up to 8% in exchange for random explosions (presuming the weapon isn't any good and capped already)? Somehow.. no.
Go back to the drawing board, INCREASE the benefit, and leave in the breakage. Let the nonsmugglers whine, we don't mind risking our necks for and advantage!

Figured it would fit him pretty well
What with the blue text and all.
