Weapon Skills not Leveling

[Teizar]

have to use different weapons to level the overall skill once the bar on the weapon is full toss it ...... even if its a purple its just going to take up inventory space an even then you might not go back to it once you figure out the synergy system ...... and how dumb that is

Castiel, buff your post count somewhere else. You're trolling us and this thread. You're not here to talk about any issues; you're only here to have a flame war to increase your post count and make others think better of you. The latter isn't working... Calling someone "bro" in nearly ANY context is a cocky, aggressive, and childish thing to do that you really wouldn't do if you were an adult and/or not trolling. Regardless, you seem to be in the minority of people that did not understand my issue. Seeing as how you have come to an impasse in trying to bolster your point I suggest you move on to some other post.

Arch, I went to a movie earlier and haven't been on the computer all day. I'll get to taking screenshots tomorrow night after work. Thanks for the /played tip. Wasn't sure that would work in this.

Teizar, I've spent tons of rep on guns/mods already for the Synergy system. It's stupid, broken, a waste of time, and utterly pointless in the long run. I made a post about it and it was /closed by a moderator because it was pointing out obvious design flaws in their end game system. In all reality they are trying to turn players to using their micro-transaction system to pay for the game. However, they either don't know, or don't care, that since their leveling system requires we toss guns out to improve our skill it only means I'm LESS inclined to buy lockboxes with cash knowing I'll be scrapping the weapons in a day or two. The rep. boxes aren't worth the time and effort it takes and half of the synergy mods aren't even obtainable right now.
On a related note, they would make more money if they allowed you to buy extensions or resets to weapon EXP for a small fee. Effectively allowing players to continue to use their favorite guns for longer by paying for the EXP rate to be reset on the item. They could also add the Synergy lockboxes to the cash shop and allow players to spend $2 per box getting 1 or 2 mods in each. As a game designer I make these calls for a living and sales appeal happens to be something I learned in my younger days dropping obscene amounts of cash into many "F2P" MMOs (mostly K-MMOs) trying to get a leg up on the competition. I find it hard to believe that Trion isn't making better calls on these designs considering what a success Rift was/is.

I digress, two of the biggest reasons for playing the game are currently either broken (Skillups) or badly designed (Synergy) so I have chosen to limit my playing to a tester level to expose flaws and glitches they've overlooked. I refuse to play a game for fun that isn't actually fun for me. I truly hope they get their act together in the next month because I have seen a HUGE number of trade-ins and returns at my store accompanied by MANY disgruntled customers; a few of which I've had the displeasure of shamefully apologizing for recommending this. Regardless of whether or not they should do their own research on the matter, my dayjob consists of advising their purchases. I mislead them into paying $60 to be beta testers of a game that is trying to float a TV show crossover. The show is decent to say the least, but it isn't Walking Dead or Doctor Who. It won't garner a massive following without a hook.

I must've had too much to drink because I'm rambling...

tl;dr:

Castiel: bugger off.
Arch: I'll get the screenshots and test tomorrow night after work.
Teizar: Synergy are broken in acquisition design, agreed.

While I agree with Castiel that your original post was hard to understand I'd also strive to tell you that your message is lost with the "extra" items in your post.

From what I can tell your having issues where no matter how many of a particular type of weapon your using, the weapon isn't leveling correct? Alright. From what I see of your screenshots you have reported it. Have you tried talking to live chat about it? The bugs I've been hit by (quite a few of them) and know how frustrating they can be. The game was unplayable for me at one point because I was in an empty world. Live chat has been a good tool for me to utilize to return my game play experience to where it should be.

I'd be interested the see what the resolution of your ticket is when they resolve it as well as what live chat says.

[Blackwolfe]

Hard to understand (well, perhaps if you ain't too bright)? It does not take much to understand what the OP means if you simply read what I quoted back in the first page.

[Centuri0n]

I re-read it to check he wasn't having the known issue and yeah it was pretty plain to read that he switches weapons, and his issue is that he gains no weapon skill experience while he changes out guns he's levelled to max.

Hope you get a better response than ":/" in the near future, maybe it was new guy on and his head was full of ****. *Insert Jackie Chan meme hurr*

I've not heard of that issue before, definitely a bug and not a very far reaching one, bl man

Arch: I'll get the screenshots and test tomorrow night after work.

Sounds good. Look forward to seeing them.

LOL, do you not know how to read? I have already accepted the fact that you are suffering from a bug and stated that in a previous post

Now that we have that english lesson cleared up and you finally delved into specifics we can see that you do seem to be suffering from a bug.

I understand having bugs like this can be frustrating but the ticket is still open which means that Trion has not forsaken you and closed the ticket with out trying to resolve the issue so how about being patient and give the support center time to work on it.

As per one of your previous posts, if anyone is suffering from having "blinders on" its you. The only one trying to have a flame war is you.

I already accepted the fact that though poorly written I misinterpreted you initial post and explained what drove me to my initial interpretation of said post. Never once have I disputed that you are suffering from a bug since you've gone into the specifics of your issue.

As for the word "bro" it is neither cocky nor aggressive it is term of endearment used between friends it stands for brother if you didn't already know that. You don't refer to someone as a bro if you are attempting to be aggressive. The only one being aggressive is you.

Castiel, buff your post count somewhere else. You're trolling us and this thread. Castiel: bugger off.

The above is quite aggressive, far more aggressive than the usage of "bro" in any context seeing as it is a non-aggressive friendly way to refer to a male who you are speaking to and far more aggressive than I have been in any of my posts. Mind you there has been absolutely no aggression what so ever from me.

Also probably best to not post on the forums when drinking in large amounts? just a suggestion, take it or leave it, have a good day

I must've had too much to drink because I'm rambling...

[theyeti]

well he wasn't specific on whether or not he is switching weapon types or just weapons withing the same type if he maxed out a rifle and then tried maxing out a pistol and so on the issue would still be not changing out the lvled up gun

Castle krois, learn to read or stop posting.... Everyone else who didn't read op, go back, read the post, then make an educated statement.

Seriously are you incapable of proper reading comprehension? I have already stated multiple times that while the initial post by the OP was a bit vague after the OP provided additional details I have since withdrew my initial stance and agreed that he is in fact suffering from a bug. Hell I even quoted said statement in my post above yours...

The only ones who seem to need to learn how to read properly are your self, the OP and anyone else who feels the need to constantly try and bring up the fact that due to some vagueness I was not entirely sure if the OP was suffering from a bug or not. So either read posts in their entirety or don't post at all because you have clearly failed to do so as of late and that is the nicest way I can put this.

And by the way its not "castle krois" its Castiel Krios but I know english is hard for you so I fully understand.

[RatBastage]

I apologize if I mis-read your issue but check the experience of the weapon you are using. If it is maxed out then continued use of that weapon will no longer give you skill up exp. You are forced to change to a new weapon if you want to continue getting skill points.

This is by design and not a bug. Not the best design in my opinion but that's just me. Others here don't have a problem with it.

I have to say I have seen a LOT of people who do have a problem with, and none at all that have stated that they think it is a good idea...
