I agree allowing us to create legendarys was a bad idea, but on the other hand it offset the garbage drops. So now what? All garbage, all of the time. I don't think the game itself is garbage because I still have loads of fun playing with friends, but it's a disaster as a loot hunt. Complete disaster, just IMO.
Im talking about certain guns with THE perfect stats. Not just a good gun but a gun that simply cannot be better with other rolls.Quote:

What you CAN do is make sure there is something beyond orange. That includes, and keep in mind that they're now open about Defiance being a business:
*Roll rerolls with AF or specific ones with bits
*Synergy rerolls with AF or specific ones with bits
*Nano rerolls with AF or specific ones with bits
*Custom skins sold for bits only
*Custom sounds (think KLOC EVO) sold for bits only
*Higher-than-orange rarity upgrades sold for a large amount of caeruleum cores, make c.cores purchaseable with bits
*Dual nano modules sold for a large amount of caeruleum cores, make c.cores purchaseable with bits
*Gunslinger-esque special ability modules sold for a large amount of caeruleum cores, make c.cores purchaseable with bits
*Any synergy T5 mods for bits
*etc
You probably already have this "perfect" stat gear. If so I could see how this would be a good change in your eyes.Quote:

But who feels sorry for us vets that have wasted real money and bought discs and now it was all for nothing with free to play.Quote:

This does not affect me at all lol.
I consider myself an mmo vet and have learned that the *chase* in any game is pointless.
I just use blues and epics, and don't use anything other than common mods.
I upgraded rarity like twice. I use the upgrade EGO rating feature far more. As long as I can keep doing that.
I enjoy the game more because of this.
What stops me from dropping money in the bit store is the server instability. There's no point to support a game that boots me literally every time I start to have fun.
So for me this change causes no problems, but also fixes none.
I can totally see how this would anger some people though.
Get ready to stop enjoying the game, as now that you've said that, that'll be next for the chop...Quote:

Funny thing is, I never gave a **** about the loot chase. I hate grinding for rare drops, hence I never do. Sure I upgraded a few weapons to orange, but that was just to experiment with arkforge.
So this has little impact on my game play. I think Trion would be smarter just to remove arkforging [or just the ability to change the weapon's rarity], instead of adding "encrypted".
