Any difference between Normal and epic items?

no real difference except maybe Reload Speed, Rate of Fire, and Accuracy. but those difference are so small its hard to notice a difference. I blame PvP Balancing for no real differences

Something like this.

I don't think it is broken, i think it is different than the typical MMO power creep.

I in my observation, mods increase with rarity, i.e a white scope is -.1, green, -.2, and a blue is -.3.

I have not confirmed myself if this is the case with weapons (I suspect it is), i just know that the number of bonuses increase with rarity.

I currently have a max level AR that has -.5 accuracy bonus, and i have added a -.3 scope to it, and have a blue crit-multi barrel. -- I can go full auto on the smallest of weak spots.

The point being increasing damage is not all about seen the "base" damage number change in this game, it is about how much consistent damage you can put on target.

So maybe they added all these bonuses to "add" more damage? If you catch my meaning. Better accuracy makes it easier to hit the target which means it does more damage. Maybe thats the meaning of it?

Not sure if its the PvP's fault but i dont think they should balance the system like that. Maybe it works, maybe it IS balanced but it also takes alot of the fun of grinding for better gear as theres no real purpose for it. well, other than a few bonuses. It doesnt give you that awesome feeling of finding an awesome weapon like in other games.

One thing i noticed is that Green will sometimes give you 1 random bonus or none. While blue gives 2 or just 1, Purple gives 3 or 2 and legendary give 3 or 2 i believe. Legendaries i noticed tend to give better bonus that are higher level mods. Plus go after the bonus you want. If you prefer Fire rate, then find your type of weapon in legendary form and get those bonus on it.

I used to think this was the case until I got 2 Orange Vot Blaster pistols with no bonuses...just a synergy. TWICE! Just recently I found a VOT Blaster pistol that was blue and it had one bonus. I don't know if they are bugged or what but it sucks.

If it has good mods slots, I don't care what color it is.

Not sure what what you mean? You can add mod slots in the matrix?

at higher ego rating, more weapon drop will have all the slots available. Not all, but most.

Does no one notice they made this game to be EQUAL no matter the EGO...

The weapons are designed to give Ego 100 player the same ability/chance as Ego 5000. Legendaries are there to give the EGO 5k a boost, but not overpower them to the point the EGO 100 has no chance... No one says you HAVE to use a Legendary, no one is saying you HAVE to buy a Legendary...

Put it this way, Ego 100 will not have AR skill 20. but me @ 2300, i do. So i get all 20 lvl bonuses. max out the gun +1 Bonus. Thats 21 bonuses. Synergy!, that can add 4 more bonuses, 25. You can also find them with say 3 random Bonuses (Acc, Stowed Clip Reload, Mag size, etc)... 28 BONUS stats... Not to mention the Gun's Nano + Melee Nano...

Why do ppl pay 100k for Legendaries?... ^^^ Say you are lvl 500, and you do somehow have 20 AR... its still 8 Bonus + 2 Nano vs 0.

A great BOOST, but not too overpowering that low-EGO cant hang with high-EGO.

Epeen. The more Orange weapons the larger the Epeen.
