10mil? Lots of cash... but why not?


Let me ask you a couple of questions and maybe we can figure out if it was "worth it" and I mean obbtainable by a lower price or decent time investment.



- Do you know what loot was used in it?


- Could you loot it yourself?


- How many Experimentation points did the weaponsmith who did it have?


- Did he use the absolute best materials?


- How much damage do you do with regular knucks sliced for damage ( Around 190 max) and how much you do know? Assume Auto-attack...


- Has it made a differenc in PvP? I guess your Headhits become very very nasty now...

With that minimum dmg so low I dunno if it is worth the 10 million but that max dmg is impressive. Just wondering what were the stats on those motors you used?

So much of this depends on your server, and the rarity of the item. I have never personally seen offered on my server a VK over 256 or so, if that VK was put up for auction on Wanderhome it may very well have gone for 10 mil, I would not have paid that, but only because it would have cut too deep into my finances, but would have been tempted.


Ran this things numbers through a damage calculator, with UAH 3 its DPS would be 3381, and with head hit it would be 2113. That is damage per second folks, that is one devestating pvp weapon to be sure. with UAH 3 against a player with 80% kinetic your DPS would be 169, thats not bad at all.


If you have the creds and want it, then its not dumb to buy at all, its a supurb weapon and its not like RL where if you dump your cash on something like this you cant make the rent or feed your family, its a game. So, you want an uber weapon that costs 10mil, go for it, so what, even if it was not a great buy it does not matter one bit, its all just pixels and you can get more.

Embrace your reply is in the PvP thread.


Someone must have rattled your cage. This is a serious thread.


I thought 10 mil was fine because I had that cash for it ingame, this is a serious thread.


I was hoping for some answers like "I bought one about the same for the same price" or something like that.


You call me immature yet you've made one of the most immature replies i've read on these forums.

If your posts are not trolling, then you're making a damn good job of imitating a troll, because people would only ever ask such retarded questions as flame bait.

hmm?


Explain why this is a retarded question, i cant understand.


the VK was looted from Axkva Min (Hardest mob in the game?) She dropped exceptional Vibro motors (rarer than rare..) and was crafted into a VK not an Energy Lance.



My question seems pretty fair to me, anyone got any serious answers or we have to keep reading this guys flaming rant.

Firstly; This wasn't a question I found retarded at first, I just found that 10 million was wayyy too overpriced. I already knew it was a Nightsister drop by the way, because I do read the trade forums.


Secondly; The questions I found retarded were the ones in the PvP Issues thread. As you've already proven in the thread about the+1 skill attatchment, you already know quite a lot about the game mechanics involved in combat, so you wouldn't be so oblivious as to why it's hard to headshot someone with an 80% helmet, or dizzy someone with 100 resist. Either it was a question below your obvious knowledge, or you suffer from multiple personality disorder.


Thirdly; Guy?


Have a very nice day.

Well if you've got the cash then I guess its okay. It all depends on how much money you have and how much the thing costs proportionaly. If I had100 mil credits then okay 10 mil isnt so bad. If I had 1 mil then its way out there. As for the VK itself, thats a very impressive one. Oh ya..... and EveofDestruction why dont you just chill out and find someone else to flame out. Jelousy is one thing but blaming it on something elseis another.

If I was a TKA and I had the cash, YA id get it, I've gotten into a scrap with a TK who had knucklers with close to the same stats, once he go in on me, and KDed me even with my armor 65% base he nailed me for like 250 a hit!!!!

Cost me 10 mil credits it is allready sliced, would you guys have bought it aswell?


I'm only using it for PvP btw.







I seriously think you were ripped off. I haven't seen *any* weapons in game worth 10 million credits.


Well, the multi-slice exploit would change that but of course those weapons are illegal and will get you banned, so they don't count .
