Thread: Anti decay kits is anyone else worried?
But yeah.. will hurt us as well
- There will always be people who cant afford to buy the decay kits
- There is only 1 per person so if they change profession they will again need new weaponry
- There are more people playing all the time so there will always be people who dont have one
Your assuming everyone is anti-decaying their weapons. They arent. Not everyone has played long enough for a free one, Some ppl will want a TIE model (Thats what i took). People change professions, sell theirs etc
it will end up the people who are rich and like to be "uber" will have them. I sell my loot made weaponry to a lot of ppl who dont care for that sort of thing. It wont have a huge impact unless you havea very small customer base

Noobies don't buy alot of weapons, and they certainly don't buy expensive weapons, the majority of sales are to people that grind 3 hours every night and buy new weapons weekly, precisely the people that will be using these kits.
There are sencondary effects to consider as well, weapon purchases are a significant expense for many players, remove this expense then there is no need to go out and collect avian meat or krayt tissues to sell to get money for another weapon.
Switching professions is not going to help either, the weapon will still exist and go to someone else, just because you stop being a swordsman doesn't mean the scythe disappears, it gets sold to someone else instead of them buying from you.
I don't think anyone here has yet realized how bad this really is.

I grind thorugh rilfes all the time
NowI never have to buy a rifle ever again onceI get a good one.
Of courseI won't have as much use for the rifle because with the thousands of 30k resource dupe tickets floating around my business (ranger) has been shot to hell
This is what the effect of the patch is:
all resources can be duped
1 gun is pretty much anyone really needs to buy for the rest of thier time in the game
Coming soon: 24 month rewards! You can now toggle "God-Mode" on and off
I wouldnt say you only need one gun, i hunt alot of krayt and i use a T21 for all except for juvi's where i use a DXR6b, there is no such thing as a best weapon

I just read that these kits are reuseable, but when you reuse it, it destroys the original weapon.
Not sure what to make of that.... it sounds a little better to me but still not good, I would be happer if these weren't tradable like the sorosub veteran reward.
Actually that is really bad. I was not worried about thosekits until that announcement. If they were not reusable people would have to make a choice "is this weapon good enough to spend my anti-decay kit on". Now they don't have to do that and can use it on their normal grinding rifle until they got a decent weapon to use it on.
Yup they need to change that point........ I have tested this on the live server and the deed did come back. If this remains that way tis the end of the WS....

Problem or beauty of this game is that when you tamper with one thing it gonna affect a lot of people. Not just the ones it seemingly benefits in the first place. Lets take the anti decay kit and have a closer look. Player A has a legendary PH with 3k maxdam. he has used it a bit in pvp and thus the condition has reached 120 so he has it stored away for very special occasions.
But lo and behold here comes the anti dacay kit to save the day. He can now use the PH for killing gubburs cause nothing will ever change the condition. He uses it more constructively thou to go camp acklay. And even thou he is almos outdamaged by the3 grouped guys with antidecaying highend acklay hammers and the 2 riflemen with antidacaying exceptional T21s he gets the kill.
From the acklaay he loots 6 77-120 bones... fairly decent that could potential make a sliced ph with max dam above 700, but since the antidacy kit has been around for a couple of month, most people allready have highend antidecaying phs and of course he can sell the bones, but not at all with as high demand as previously. Now imagine the same scenario in a year....
All this to say, its not only going to affect the WS community, in the long run its going to have impact on the whole player economy and this is not even taken the pvp-side og all this mess into consideration....
add to this all the people harvesting resources. Well most of them can forget about earning credits that way cause if the sales of WS are cut down by lets just say 50% heck even 35% most WS will be able to harvest most of what they need themself.
I seriously hope the do something about the decay kit or take it out completely!
And dont even start on the CU. Ill start taking that into consideration when Im downloading the patch which holds it. Untilll then I play from what is live.
