did i missed something? was it planned? who had the stupid idea to make a change like that? and more interesting, how can one be that stupid to do it?
really, really love this game...but sometimes it's more the head is moving rather than the controller :/
Say hello to the back asswards progression. At certain ego levels, vendors lose their nano effects. Just like they lose their mod slots and have to unlock again.
It's your fault for leveling up.Quote:

love this game, i really do...but sometimes it looks like it's a giant led by dwarfs...also when i see hellbugs having parties over the hell of bugs...
"Say hello to the back asswards progression. At certain ego levels, vendors lose their nano effects. Just like they lose their mod slots and have to unlock again."
i fortunately reached an ego, where the slots raised up from one to three again, ego 3500 atm...and you tell me now they decrease now again? omg...what in the hell of a bug is wrong with these trion guys :/
Makes me wonder why some people are asking about raising the level cap in this DLC or the next...

Yeah, I want my ark salvage costs raised even higher and for my mod slots to disappear on drops again....
They completely unlock again from 4000-4500, you'll still get 3 slot items at 4000 sometimes.Quote:

don't get me wrong...love this game...will play it even with this crap...but absolutely no clue why they do things like that, as it's only good if you want to destabilize a players fun...
It changes. At one point every white I was getting had a nano. And at one point weapons had all mod slots open, then later on none of them were open. Then I sort of stopped getting offered decent weapons for the specials-there would be whites and mostly greens with no bonus rolls and often no nano. And contrary to popular belief I was getting no nano weapons and even whites from lockboxes.Quote:

And this has nothing to do with the change in getting all perk SLOTS open earlier (they didn't allow all perks to be opened earlier, just the slots to use what people still have to earn). It's always been this way. At some point after EGO 4000, all weapons you get will have all mod slots open and the potential for really good multiple bonus rolls increases and weapons will all have nanos (except for faction ones IIRC).
Actually, it just means you have to visit all the vendors to see what specials they have. Not all of them will have no nano weapons.Quote:

But I'd rather put them on no nano weapons with good bonuses since putting them onto weapons with nanos is a complete waste. If I use them I lose a mag slot and the nano on the weapon, so I won't use them on nano weapons. That's where those weapons come in handy.
I wonder if it's just possible that there are more no nano weapons popping up at the exact same time that the toxic converters become more prevalent. I know at one point I was getting the converters really often as drops and rewards. I have a few stored in my store claim items right now.
Sure, it's for a specific purpose but I'd much rather get a purple no nano weapon with great bonuses than a white or green nano weapon.
"...all weapons you get will have all mod slots open and the potential for really good multiple bonus rolls increases and weapons will all have nanos..."
okay, that sounds not really bad, beside the fact, that it will get a little harder to trade weapons on that ego...but okay ,) bout the vendor specials...i'm one of the crazy guys in paradise who spends much time to look what they have and for today i was shocked to see that nearly NO weapon with a color blue or purple had any nano...and about converters...believe it or not, but till now, ego 3500, found only 3 or 4 converters in my whole playingtime...as said, accept a good and healthy competition, to level up to get better stuff is okay, but, to reach ego 3500 to find weapons without nano and again with less slots is something, for me hard to understand...but okay, as i said before, will play further even under this circumstances, but nothing i appreciate...just my opinion...
could also start a discussion about drop-rates of good guns or oranges in lockboxes, but i guess the forum is already full with threads over that...
so or so, thx for response and time, and the will to give some positive thoughts over this case...as it did a little by what u said about the ego 4000+ thing ,)
What level are you? The guns are vendors(such as EMC LMG at VBI vendor) got another bonus after you level so high, so they take away the mods and nano's when that happens. It's stupid I know, especially the EMC LMG. It has a loadout synergy of NANO-MASTERY, but they take away the nano once you unlock the x.85 reload bonus. What good is that gun if it has no nano to go along with the nano-mastery!? lolQuote:
