The weapon scaling is good

[ironhands]

We won't see any vertical progression anyways, that would make them scale mobs, create gaps in between zones, trash the contracts system, pretty much all that makes Defiance different IMO.

bingo. scaling equipment, and thus the mobs, only serves to trivialize everything below the zone you're in.

because i dont have a bolter. this is the closest thing i had ;D. But as you can see there are a bunch of extra attributes bound to the rifle, which is the point im trying to make. THIS is their method of weapon scaling, and not only is it effective, it balances the game fairly.

Well, all that awesome atributes seems useless to me. Only +8 mag looks interesting untill u see that stupid weapon, low dmg, slow firerate and comes only with size 5 mag? There are alot of atributes/synergy garbage, that are plain terrible.

I dont think that was his point. What he is saying that you are missing, is that a white compared to a orange!. You both have a "legendary" weapons but his is exactly the same as a white!!. So much for scaling right!?

Omg preach!!.. I have to second this!!.. thought I was the only one who felt this way!!.. these weapons are far from legendary!!..

you mearly used a **** example.

Inori come on man she what your posting and what it all means! Really +2% damage on enemies with full health and shields!?. Well I did the math and that 1020 damage that your going to do!! Thats only one shot mind you, after that you go back down to 1000 damage... seem worth the 2 mod synergies now!??.. and the melee damage why whould u need that if ur using a sniper rifle??.. your not even near the batle so I assume, for that stat to be effective. Idk bout you but that sniper doesn't seem to be orange worthy!

And you think modding options are gonna stay the same through 5 DLC?

:-) hoping not. heck , an eventual DLC that expands modding to building an entire gun from scratch would be great with a player being able to choose every detail BALANCED by +% somewhere decreasing % somewhere else = making choices

is it just me? alot of people seem to really hate this. I infact enjoy it, since it doesnt further "diversify" the rarity of weapons. if you pick up an orange weapon at a low level, itll still be just as useful as it would if you got to EGO 1000. This makes weapons more reusable, so you dont have to keep throwing a beautiful Legendary away every 100 levels. Weapon scaling should be limited to finding favourable characteristics in weapons, like it is now. It also re-enforces the importance of modding, so no mods would be wasted on guns that you'll soon over level...in my opinion anyway.

sorry, i like the game, but this.


I can't help but feel like this game won't hold my interest for much longer when there's no reward (or a reward so negligible it can't be noticed) for progressing.

Games are for recreation, for fun. No one accomplishes anything by spending hundreds of hours playing a game to get a legendary shiny. It's a false feeling of accomplishment.

I'm having fun in this game. And, if I can take away one small accomplishment from the time I waste on gaming, it's that my aim is improving. That is a genuine progression, and the only one that really matters in this game.
