so sledge just stated on the live stream about resetting gun mastery.

[Shogo_Yahagi]

Tooltip: Does not reset bonus.
Devs: Does reset bonus.

Effect of resetting and releveling a weapon: Bonus does not change.
Effect of ignoring the bonus and just playing: Bonus changes.

Sounds like Defiance to me.

He never said it was going to be easy.

I've reset my legendary cluster shot and vbi smg about 5 times each now and neither of their mastery bonuses have changed.

[IAMVILELENT]

If you can afford to keep doing it, id say try till it changes, so we can verify lol. Nothing else to spend salvage on anyways. I'll be reseting my LMGS when I get home, I'll sh*t a brick if I get another crit or fire rate modifier. The x1.10 dmg is ok, but I dont notice it really.

[Raddyman]

Dang!! i haven't even checked! i hope not as i have been resetting my good guns with decent bonuses!

Still, if so that's cool. Although it would have been nice to know that prior to resetting Good bonus guns a bunch of times.

[Arsenic_Touch]

I'll believe it when I see it. So I'm going to have Core Legion do some testing, since we have so many players we may be able to confirm it.

.....

he's at E3

go figure trying to still sell a broken game......trion is starting to becoming like atari did for test drive unlimited 2......the gamers crashed the forums since the dev would not listen about the game bugs that made it impossible to play. i hope that doesnt happen here but with the theifing going on with bits i wont hold my breath.

[Raddyman]

Well i checked and so far nothing has changed. And one of the weapons i reset 2-3 times a day atleast (probably alot more) so .. could just be pretty rare

[maxila]

that when you do this you have a chance for a random new mastery bonus, however iv done this about 5-6 times and same bonus everytime.

Sledge has also said on this forum all mobs have a small chance to drop an orange, I have never seen or talked to anyone who has even seen a mob drop a purple. I am almost EGO 3000 and have asked about this on the forum too.

I don't think Sledge is in the know on what is supposed to happen vs what actually happens in game.

[greatdividers]

blah blah

with how many bugs this game has, it's infinitely more likely that you should be able to get orange drops and something is screwed up. same with the weapon mastery on reset.

i find it hilarious that so many people get so upset with how many bugs there are but as soon as something is easily explained with bugs you completely forget about them.

Sledge is pretty much always wrong when he opens his yap about game mechanics. He's the least knowledgeable community manager I've ever experienced.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure community managers for other games know more about Defiance than Sledge does. Note how he never provides any evidence to support his statements. At this point anything Sledge says should get the auto-reply: screenshot or it didn't happen.
