New Jackpots

[Konzeptionz]

What happened to Chaos being a VOT Blaster? I was really looking forward to that. I have lost nearly all interest in this jackpot =/

[jremarks]

Tha Guardian Angel has been around for quite some time now and after reading the 3.006 patch notes I saw that the new jackpots aren't arriving yet.Is there a date to when these will arrive?

Its goes a little like this.

Come up with bad idea for 2 paired weapons, a bad idea anyone who has ever played this game would notice.

Get Paid.

Put weapons on PTS and wait for a while for complaints which were bound to come in.

Get Paid a bit more.

(Insert recycled cash shop items here).

Tweak items a little bit more, but still not good enough for them to work/be desirable

Get Paid.

Tweak them a little more until they look nice.

Get Paid.

Update game with new jackpots with low RNG and put lockbox on sale + we get free bugs and glitches in the process

Get Paid.

Find something else to do/break/stall over whilst getting paid.

Most of the forumites that posted on the theads about the jackpot guns complained about it. So it got changed. Besides as Trion keeps pointing out, it is not finalized until it goes live. So do not get your heart set on anything that is still on PTS. I have to agree with that, because there have been way to many times that they said something great, only to change it less than an hour before it goes live.

The new jackpots are listed in the PTS patch notes and will be formally announced soon.

Well, i cannot complain so far, spent all my PTS bits (around 50k) in lockboxes and still couldn't get them so yeah, i cannot complain about what still doesn't exist in my inventory....

They listened to reason and decided two of the same type of weapon drawing from a small ammo pool probably wasn't the best idea.

I have one, and from I can tell they don't even matter.

First most of the enemies don't even use radiation so the nano resistance on it isn't very useful. And second, I can count to 20+ without seeing even the slightest change on my self-revive indicator even with the shield (20%), Self-Medicated (45%), and a rig with 4 Epic Revival Rejuvenator chips at 2.5% each (10%) equipped. So I don't if it's bugged or there is some other way we are supposed to apply the percentages but I read it to be 70% revive refresh and I just don't see it.

Guardian Angel (and all of the other survivor shields) only refresh your self revive when the shield breaks. If you want to see the kind of work it does, kill yourself with a detonator or something, self revive, then break your shield a few times with a detonator. Your self revive should refill after 5 breaks, 20% each shield break (taking into account the cool down timer on it)

Your self medicated and your chips add a total of 55% self revive refresh rate, which in the short term doesn't amount to much. When you did your 20 second count it refreshed as much as it would have without the perks in about 31 seconds so it's no surprise that you didn't notice a difference. However, over time it will refill your self revive much faster, at around 3 minutes and 14 seconds or so, as opposed to 5 minutes with no perks, chips, or whatever else.

So basically the GA is only effective if I die, revive, and then lose my shield and become vulnerable to death again? That is about as useful as an ejection seat on a helicopter. Looks like I need to sell this piece of crap before it's too late.

I did some experimentation on self revive. So self medicated + 7.5% self revive from the rig, so 52.5 % which is leaves us with 150 seconds left, on top of that, if i revive another player, turning the tide and reanimation protocol give 25% each, so 50% off those 150 sec, which is 75 sec. Than on a shield break just before i go down i get 20% of that 75 sec. Pair that with just few killing blows with the fates kiss and after reviving a group member i will be "ready" to die in less than one minute. Not so bad after all.

If i have to revive myself than after i switch loadouts i get my self revive back in around 2 min sometimes less if my shield brakes and i use stim and keep killin with fates kiss.

Ive been obssesed with self revive lately!
