New Mod slot costs

So I was listening to the live stream and I think it was Chris, not sure, but he said that the feeling of "punishment" by the high level players is being addressed. The costs of mod slots won't get higher as you level up any more. The rarity of the gun will determine how much mod slots cost. So what does everyone think is a fair price for mod slots by rarity?

I think it should be

White: All 4 slots for a total of 20,000

Green: All 4 slots for a total of 40,000

Blue: All 4 slots for a total of 60,000

Purple: All 4 slots for a total of 80,000

Orange: All 4 slots for a total of 100,000

Right now a level 5,000 EGO player pays I think 500,000 total for opening 4 mod slots, so this would be a nice price range.

I think that would be a fair cost

I hope the crafting system involves recipes....like have the synergy mods be a recipe drop that drops off of enemies the same as loot. Example: I kill a 99er and walk over the corpse to collect my ark salvage and loot. One of the loot drops is a somewhat rare "recipe" for the Assassin synergy mods for pistols. Now I would have the ability to craft the Assassin mods for pistols. Even if I don't have a pistol with Assassin, I could lend my services out while I'm looking. I would now have to look at the recipe and see what I have to harvest to make it.

It could be something like you have to collect a certain amount of whatever items(gulanite, metal, coal) and then craft the mod. I could go to Iron Demon, turn on my mic and advertise to people that I have crafted several assassin synergy mods for sale. This would create a really cool economy within the game. People would be adding each other as friends simply to keep in touch with the guy that crafts stalker mods for smg's, or the quartermaster shotgun crafter that you met at Kenn Farm. haha Okay, I'm getting way too into the world of defiance. I do like this idea though

Can you imagine the trading and business you could do with your clanmates? There would be certain clanmates that would be the only guy(s) in the clan that can craft a certain mod because he's the only one that got that recipe drop. Others would have different recipe drops they could do business with. My brother brought this up today and I thought it was a brilliant idea. I hope the crafting system they introduce is somewhat similar to this.

I thought at 5000 all mod slots are already unlocked on all guns.

I think he's referring to weapons acquired before approx E-4200.

I'm at E-4300 and most weapons I'm now getting are 4 slot, but I have plenty acquired before that point that I've not found better yet.

Reason being that they are either bad or missing syn, nano either missing or ones I dont care for, or lower color weapons that don't offer as good a bonus once leveled. I'm hoping to acquire better weapons, but it's getting harder to find blues that are worth keeping much less waiting for a purple (right, a purple.... heh). There are a lot of weapons available, but not many worth 'keeping'.

White:
1st slot: 1000
2nd slot: 2000
3rd slot: 4000
4th slot: 8000

Green:
1st slot: 2000
2nd slot: 4000
3rd slot: 8000
4th slot: 16000

Blue:
1st slot: 4000
2nd slot: 8000
3rd slot: 16000
4th slot: 32000

Purple:
1st slot: 8000
2nd slot: 16000
3rd slot: 32000
4th slot: 64000

Orange:
1st slot: 16000
2nd slot: 32000
3rd slot: 64000
4th slot: 128000

* After ego 1000 you gain 0,0125% discount in salvage matrix, up to 50% at ego 5000.

This idea should be reposted over in the suggestions page with it's own thread. I love this idea and will support it until it's in the game.

Whether you are doing the 1st slot or the 4th slot, it should be the same cost, for a given rarity.

The cost break down for adding slots should be same as it is for resetting the mastery points.

Was anything said about being able to remove individual mods?

Quit saying to post in the suggestion pages. It may be where the Developers look for such, however, suggestions get a lot better exposure in this forum and need positive responses from us users to have a chance of being added.

I wonder if they'll address the wepons XP reset costs as well. Those are freaking nuts on some things.
