all guns do the same damage???

[GhostTLT]

every sniper rifle (bolt action) that i have seen from white to green to blue all do the same damage....1271....is there no weapon progression?

There is some increase in damage on some weapons but at times I find it to be extremly small. I am guessing as you progress further into some areas you will evently find better weapons but right now everything I am finding is basicly same stats or just a small swing in +/- direction that it makes it hard to chose what to work with. As you get more weapons with mod slots you can increase the dmg and other factors that way but even then at times it feels lacking. I still think they got some aspects of the drop table disabled or something.

Yup... The one thing I wish this game had was more focus on gear progression. It's super simplistic. I don't see the reason why weapons don't get randomized damage values.

When you are in a 50+ player Arkfall, the bosses take 30 minutes to kill. Hmmm, I wonder why.... Cause everyone does the same damage.

@Trion : Can you guys please add more loot power. Don't make it so higher EGO gets more damage. Just randomize it from the get go. Make it rare... You know, maybe a sniper rifle has a range of damage like 1200-2500...... And when it drops, its a random number between there. That could go for all guns. Just that one change would bring a ton of randomness to the loot system (a good thing)

There is but its very very flat.. you get most of your buffs for damage from perks. I in just at 300 ego and ive run into a 1300+ bold action.

Also, MOD your weapons too.

Sledge said that the weapons in beta didn't reflect the weapons in real game that the stats were different. Either the curve comes later post 200 EGO or he was lying or misinformed. Ark loot isn't on either, this feels exactly like the beta, or I should say alpha since the alpha had the map open.

I'm leaning towards lying just to squelch the complaints or this isn't the real game because the stats are identical to what we saw in the beta.

the ego affects the weapon types available... one unlock was at 200 and another aroudn 500.
And already open mod slots, nano effects and etc rng bonuses

PSA: Defiance is a competitive MMO that requires balance for its multiplayer aspects. Go play Bordelands if you want crazy OP weapons for every level up (there's even 11 more now to make all previous loot entirely worthless).

Would be nice if Sledge would come in like he has in other posts and just say x and x is still not in game but it will be or something to at least provide info so people are not in the dark.

Would be nice. I mean there are clear discrepancies going on here that need to be addressed.
