We Want Stronger Weapons!!

I know what you're getting at, Godspark, but I really cannot agree with you. As it stands, someone with 10 days playtime virtually the same as someone with 10 hours playtime, whos virtually the same as someone whos got 10 minutes playtime. There is NO advantage. (There is, but its so bloody tiny its not even worth going into). As it stands, there is no reason to go to san Francisco. May as well just farm mutants. Think about it, think about your first mutant, and then compare your first mutant to end boss.....would you REALLY expect to be able to take them both down with the same weapon?

Yes. Bullets are bullets, and one bullet going through someones skull has the same result as another bullet going through someone elses skull.

And OP, you want stronger weapons not we.

Well, if farming is your goal, yes you can live in Mount Tam forever. Though I think the writers of the game have something like a story running in the background and I might be wrong but I think they want us to actually play through the story arc rather than Rambo everything on sight.

I like the fact weapons don't get crazy strong. I invest much more time than all my friends in every MMO we play, because I get addicted, and then if I want to play with them, I just end up one shotting everything near them.

Doesn't happen with this. Also, it makes finding a weapon that has a slight edge over another a much more big deal.

So then why doesn't EVERY serviceman in EVERY army, government sanctioned or not, in EVERY country just use a 9mm and NOTHING else? Sorry, doesn't work.

Why? The content isn't hard. You want to be able to 1 shot everything? Where is the fun in that? IMO they need to make the game harder, not easier.

Ah Tiny Tina. Second best character! Only Mr Torque beats her. I HAVE ONE QUESTION FOR YOU! EXPLOSSSSSSSSIONS?

But I agree. Harder would be the way to go, although sometimes I do get a run for my money from a bunch of elite dark matter guys. But even then it's like, oh well, I died. Time to go right back there and try again, because death has almost no repercussions.

I actually like how the weapon system works, but I can also see how it might be boring to some. The thing is, I don't want to play anything where I have to try and farm for high level equipment to remain competitive.

I think that if anything they could possibly introduce new, but balanced, weapons at higher levels. Something that doesn't have the same fire rate or damage profile as the others, but that's still roughly equal. They would be unique and available only to those who want to put the time in to get them while not giving a huge advantage.

Sorry, who's this 'we' you speak of?

You can't be serious?! Do you really think that a weapons and munitions company would sell to just anyone? Of course each country has its own manufaturer of weapons. Do you think North Korea or China orders weapons from the US? Do you think that the UK wants to pay the US for weapons it can manufacture itself? Each country has its own standards because of this. Besides, modern weapons are over 60 years old (since WWII) and many of these munition standards still exist today.
