    so sledge just stated on the live stream about resetting gun mastery.
    that when you do this you have a chance for a random new mastery bonus, however iv done this about 5-6 times and same bonus everytime.

    sooo

    Has anyone ever got a new mastery bonus on this even just 1 time?

    Mine's never changed, I've reset a few different guns a couple of times now. I think it's bugged, lol.

    Once again they say something that SHOULD be in the game but is broken :(

    TBH I haven't even touched the weapon remastery. too expensive for what you get. Quicker and easier for me to just use the drops I get and use them to level up.

    My buddy has an Orange SAW and he's shown it to me in the trade screen. He's "rerolled" it a few times and it has changed. Unless he just happens to have a plethora of Orange SAW's and is fooling me lol.

    He's higher up and would have other duties.

    That and he most likely does have the time however his upper management does dictate the messages he can and can not say.
    At this point it's better for them to remain a bit silence because good news or not this community goes ape shtako.

    might not be the reset mastery, I have few weapons that still give random rerolls on the bonus everytime I log in

    And we can get orange drops from random mobs too!

    I think they changed the weapon mastery reset cost to scale with item quality a week or so back.

    Orange weapons cost 25k to reset last time I checked.

    That's a fairly decent price.

    Would be nice to be able to get a new mastery bonus tho, because most of my guns have crap bonuses.. like 10% damage on the last bullet in the clip etc.

    I can confirm, rarity level is the determining factor in reset costs. As for bonus, once attained mine have never changed, no matter the times I've reset them.

    Lets keep this on topic and try to get a Dev response, because if this is true then I can fix half the broken sh*t I have. If it's bugged, then we as a community need to get the devs to fix this, because it seemed like this was 99% of our problems with the weapon reroll, was that it didn't give a new mastery. So now it was supposed to be doing that??

    Tooltip: Does not reset bonus.
    Devs: Does reset bonus.

    Effect of resetting and releveling a weapon: Bonus does not change.
    Effect of ignoring the bonus and just playing: Bonus changes.

    Sounds like Defiance to me.

    Ark salvage wasted.

    Sledge is pretty much always wrong when he opens his yap about game mechanics. He's the least knowledgeable community manager I've ever experienced.

    I've reset an LMG (FRC SAW) maybe six or seven times and the mastery has changed once. Did he say what the chance was, like 15% or whatever?

    o.O

    Well if it's a decent weapon and you are trying to max out your weapon skill... it's not a waste at all.

    I've reset my legendary cluster shot and vbi smg about 5 times each now and neither of their mastery bonuses have changed.

    If you can afford to keep doing it, id say try till it changes, so we can verify lol. Nothing else to spend salvage on anyways. I'll be reseting my LMGS when I get home, I'll sh*t a brick if I get another crit or fire rate modifier. The x1.10 dmg is ok, but I dont notice it really.

    Dang!! i haven't even checked! i hope not as i have been resetting my good guns with decent bonuses!

    Still, if so that's cool. Although it would have been nice to know that prior to resetting Good bonus guns a bunch of times.

    I'll believe it when I see it. So I'm going to have Core Legion do some testing, since we have so many players we may be able to confirm it.

    go figure trying to still sell a broken game......trion is starting to becoming like atari did for test drive unlimited 2......the gamers crashed the forums since the dev would not listen about the game bugs that made it impossible to play. i hope that doesnt happen here but with the theifing going on with bits i wont hold my breath.

    Well i checked and so far nothing has changed. And one of the weapons i reset 2-3 times a day atleast (probably alot more) so .. could just be pretty rare

    Sledge has also said on this forum all mobs have a small chance to drop an orange, I have never seen or talked to anyone who has even seen a mob drop a purple. I am almost EGO 3000 and have asked about this on the forum too.

    I don't think Sledge is in the know on what is supposed to happen vs what actually happens in game.

    with how many bugs this game has, it's infinitely more likely that you should be able to get orange drops and something is screwed up. same with the weapon mastery on reset.

    i find it hilarious that so many people get so upset with how many bugs there are but as soon as something is easily explained with bugs you completely forget about them.

    Yeah, I'm pretty sure community managers for other games know more about Defiance than Sledge does. Note how he never provides any evidence to support his statements. At this point anything Sledge says should get the auto-reply: screenshot or it didn't happen.

    i believe them to be broken. all my purple weapons from the faction vendors. and my purifier shotgun dont keep their mastery bonuses, everytime i change phases or instances or really anything they change and its getting rather annoying. i know every game especially mmo types go through growing pains and problems but how many face the release their platform's successor? Especially if its the pinnacle of gaming technology(yet to be seen) my biggest question is how much effort and thought is going into PS4 porting? as long as they plan on the game living long, why not?

    Apologies if someone has mentioned this but I have reset weapon mastery a few times of the same two weapons, as they are easy to level for their type, and when my XP resets the mastery bonus remains.
    Not much chance of getting a different bonus if the original bonus stays.

    only my faction and dlc weapons change mastery and without touching the mastery reset.

    Yes Mine changed but get this, it would not stop changing. Every time i looked at it had a new bonus, most of today and all yesterday. Went from bonus damage to bonus crit to bonus for shooting in the back to revive recharge to grenade recharge to clip reload to reload speed to bonus mag just kept switching and i had no say in the matter. It finally stopped and went back to original bonus and yes i did notice all the changes in game it was cool when i got what i wanted but kept switching.
  • 06-13-2013, 10:51 PM

    ive had mine for 3 weeks lol only switches between 5-6 different bonuses though. buy a frontier saw from top notch and max it out, youll see.

    When are you all going to realize Sledge is the biggest troll on the forums?

    This isn't the first time this has happened... or the second...

    Unless you have an option of selecting it NOT be changed, I prefer it not to change at all.

    Orange weapons drop from mobs all the time, same with mods. Mod caches dropped all synergy mods before the patch you just had to try really hard. Reseting a weapons xp has a chance to reset the mastery bonus it's just a low percentage, besides it only cost 25k ark salvage to do it, who needs ark salvage when you can get all the boxes you want with bits! So once you spend a few million salvage resetting the mastery bonus on your new favorite weapon, head on down to trion worlds to celebrate by taking a magical ride on sledge's rainbow farting unicorn :D

    Id love that feature. or maybe a list of bonuses you can choose from that are specific to that weapon type and depending on the bonus have to refill the mastery bar accordingly; reload bonus would take take 1million weapon expo and something like critical multiplyer would be 1.5 million while +% on health/ego could be around 2 million because its more valuable? just a thought....
    though if defiance isnt going to the next generation i fear ill be leaving it in the digital dust, especially if the PS4 has the exact opposite launch that ps3 had(decent library, cheap console, ACTUAL DUALSHOCK CONTROLLER lol and enough to go around)
