Trion's Second Chance (Long)

[Cavadus]

Excellent post, Brick! I'm definitely in love with the game, and I think most of the 47th is, but there are some particularly pressing issues which are already costing legionaries' their passion to play.

Don't let this stuff linger, TW.

I agree with many of your points.

Very well written, great points.

Nice job Brick.

Brick is in our Legion and is a patient and generous player. What he states has not been written without discussion and dialogue. It is a well informed and constructive opinion.

I suport this post.

[Riktar]

Agreed, very well put OP.

I haven't played in a week due to my roller skills being reset from 20 to 0. A nice epic LMG i spent alot of resources modding out simply vanished from my inventory forever. My primary weapon slot was just blank where the item used to be. I've sent 4-5 reports and haven't gotten any answers yet. It's just too frustrating for me to play right now.

Fix what is broken, then work on balancing.

I spent an entire day grinding pvp(Waterfront) and major arkfalls for kills. only to find out at the end of the day that they reset the pursuit at the beginning of every match/arkfall. How am I supposed to acquire 25 kills in Waterfront? I can't solo it unless everyone else on my team quits the match and nobody else is brought into the match.

My EGO is 1708 now and I really think you need to fix the pursuits so that they can be accomplished. Fix the Freight Yard so I can work on that, or remove the requirements from the pursuits like you did with the episode pursuit.

I reiterate: Fix what is broken, leave balancing for later.

Edit: This is by far the most entertaining shooter I have played on PC, so fix the bugs and make it that entertaining for everyone.

I've been slow to utter anything that I would throw in about fixing, but the OPs post about the mods is spot on. I'm a slow, patient gamer, and I look at the numbers of things closely. I want to try out the synergies because it's part of the content that I haven't tried. First I was buying them out of the Lock Boxes in ignorance. I figured the mods themselves gave the bonuses. After doing a bit of research I find that the synergy only works with a weapon with that king of synergy. /sigh

So, now I'm left with this insurmountable problem. I have to find weapons that have the synergy I like and suits my style, then I have to find mods with that same synergy. But, the mods are random, I may end up with 10 magazine mods when I need a barrel mod to finish my weapon. More, as the OP mentioned, I can't put a place holder in that slot and then replace it when I finally get the mod I want, if I made the mistake and modded out my weapon with a mix of the synergized mods and crap, then when I go to remove them, I lose them all. So, I'm left with the mods taking up inventory space and being unusable until I have the full set or partially modding out my synergy weapon and waiting and waiting, playing the lottery every day....

The sad truth is, by the time I even got a couple of the mods, I found weapons I liked the stats on a hell of a lot better and it may not have any synergy. But, then, I don't know the benefits of a synergy weapon as I've never had the weapon and the mods together in the same place at the same time.

I get the concept, I like the concept, but the randomness of this seems extreme. I can't take advantage of parts of the game because i can't get all the pieces to come together at the same time.

And on this note, the "figure it out on your own" model for this game is annoying as hell. No where have I found the break down of how to use synergy mods, hell, even finding out how to invite someone to a group is buried deep and takes some digging to find.

Meh, it's late and I've been sitting here for awhile poking around the 'net, checking the forum, and generally wasting time. Probably not the best time of the night for me to be trying to post and be coherent.
