Guns, Guns, Guns

I have been playing Defiance from the beginning, and it's had its ups and downs. There seems to be a lot more talk about weapons again. I was a victim of the first assault from Trion and the heinous down sizing of our weapons. I don't play the games enough to really understand the lingo that is being used by everyone describing what they have done now. I have about 150 guns in my inventory, all blue, pink and orange. Truthfully I have only every used 2 guns, a SAW and a grenade launching shot gun, that's it. The others don't really have much to offer to get me on the score board. So I have to ask, is this due to Trion interfering. Also I would be willing to sell some of my inventory for the right price, but it feels like I'm invisible when I'm in the game people just appearing and disappearing and can't talk to anyone.{separate problem I'm aware of}

I'm not offended. they really do look pink to me. But that would explain a few things. I think my screen colour is screwed.

It's probably the contrast setting on your TV, or monitor.

The Uncommon gear also has a difference from player to player. Some say its Green, I say its more Yellow. Its just the way things are for some people.

And the comment wasnt to offend, just poking a bit of fun i'd say. tiz all.

I really don't care about my old monitor guys, what is it that they have done to the weapons.

Wrong word used, but I do hate the colour pink.

Things how I understand them so far.

Good:
1) Patch happening today to address a host of issues.
2) Guns will no longer receive those purple stat bonuses like "ammo regen on revive", or "200% melee damage on revive".
3) Uncommon(green) and higher guns will get a +damage increase based on the rarity.
4) Purple guns will have an increase to the number of random stat rolls.
5) Orange guns will have an increase to the number of random stat rolls.
6) Random stat rolls will be appropriate for the weapon they are being rolled for.

Bad:
1) Our current gear will not benefit from the nice things listed above EXCEPT for number 3. We will see the + damage boost retroactive on your current gear.

you mean with the patch?...
~Basically they made it so every gun gets the same amount of Bonus Stats, if i understand properly.
~Also they have started removing certain synergies and bonus stats from certain weapons.
~And lastly the better Rarity your weapon is, the more Base Damage it will do. Your Orange VBI AR now does more Base Damage then your White VBI AR

LOL, sorry, I really wasn't sure!

Anyway, nothing wrong with your current loadout - a SAW and a Courier shotgun were my go-to guns for a long time.

They are both good all-purpose choices, but other guns do have their uses.
Your play style is part of that too...I used to be running around constantly, and getting right in the mobs faces, but now I am trying to get better at sniping; That's a whole different play style for me.

BMGs are another route that people may take and can net you good points in at arkfalls and Sieges (from what I hear.)

As for changes, I heard legends of a shotgun nerf that's before my time, and a previous patch did adjust the SAW damage output down a bit to put it more in line with other assault weapons; So the Thunder is supposed to be a viable alt, but I still prefer the fire rate of a SAW!

Adjustments were made in the latest patch to mods that get rolled when you receive a new weapon. I don't believe this changes to weapons you already own.*

*Except what Zugo said in point #3 above, (Thanks Zugo!)

It has to be screwed up, because they've never looked pink on my screen. They display about as purple as you could find in a box of crayons.

I would to like to thank everyone that got back to me about the weapon changes. The info was great. I am sorry that my screen has been lying to me all this time. I am grateful to find out that pink is not one of the colours, I really do hate pink, unfortunately I'm going to have to put up with that, just like the chat system.
