But... script itself isn't worth anything in the game....

I would like to submit this suggestion to remedy that. http://forums.defiance.com/showthrea...urrency-system

OP, I generally do agree. Most people just hear "orange" or "legendary" and they have to have it. I have some pretty great SAWs, none of them of the tangerine variety. And I'd be unwilling to pay a million for anything in a game. I just don't have to have it. And for me even if I never do get the greatest prize of all, I don't care. The fun for me, even though random mostly means never, is in what I find for myself. Others see it differently and that's fine, but a million scrip-nope.

Not even if that SAW shot birds out its barrel that ate red crystals in two bites. Scrip doesn't mean that much but all that I have to do to get the scrip does. I could buy and breakdown so many weapons with that that it's just possible I might come up with a couple really good oranges or even non-oranges.

A perfect weapon with all mods matching up is very very rare.

Even more so if we limit it to the more powerful models like FRC saw, Vot Fragger and immunizers.

Earning 1m script may appear hard, but unlocking a perfect weapon from a lockbox will be harder. Hence its worth.

I bought both my Saws for about 350,000 script each. Now they are apparently worth close to a million in an auction. Just plain ridiculousness. I feel pretty bad for new comers.

Well they can blame a certain someone for basically reducing key farming speed by upwards of 70% since launch.

By the way, apparently Xbox players have a lot more scrip than other consoles (because they have higher player base and play more? Maybe?) so prices are a bit different from platform to platform it seems.

I've found that Xbox players generally have a greater lack of a social life =) Ergo, more scrip.

What makes a Saw sale for over a million scrip?

I figured I'd be the one to try to educate everyone on how much a Saw is worth.


Rule #1: Just because its Orange, doesn't make you a millionaire.
Rule #2: Just because its Syphon, doesn't make you a millionaire.

Certain Saws with useable Synergies and Nanos are worth more.
Certain Saws with great Rolls are worth more.
Certain Saws with Synergy Mods attached are worth more.

For Example:

A Legendary Saw with a lower Ego, is more sellable, because most players can use it. High Ego, not so much.

Nanos like Bio, Fire, Electric, are more effective in combat for their respective reasons.

Synergies like, Grenadier, Cannoneer, Rolling Thunder, or Assassin are more valuable. Because they offer useable combat bonuses, like fire rate, steady aim, critical damage or more bullets to fire.

Mods. With mods attached you've fully unlocked the weapons ability to be effective. Power Bore lll, High Cap Mags lll, & External Recoil Stock lll's are popular because they're more effective.

XP Rolls and other Rolls. Double or triple Critical or Magazine Rolls are what make a saw hum. Ego, self revive etc etc are almost useless.

With all these factors added together. This is why you see Saws going for a million plus script.

Not because its Orange or Syphon.

This is not a troll thread. But an attempt to stop the madness. And educate the community.

You aint never lied my man, I try and educate guys all the time as well while watching them drool over my elite weapons with monster rools while offering me a million scrip which I turn down and then say "nah sorry scrip is replaceable, a well built weapon is not " BWAHAHAAAAAA!!!!

I understand all that. I know the weapon is rare, the mods are rare, and so on and I'm not saying others have to feel the same way, because as I said that's just me and I wouldn't pay that. There's nothing I need such a weapon for and if such a weapon was needed in the game, then that rarity would basically ruin things for all the people who could never get one.

A lot of people complain that the weapons aren't more radically different with some being incredibly powerful or moreso at higher EGO levels. And others complain that there's nothing that they need a more powerful weapon for. Well, the rarity of such a thing as an incredibly well-outfitted SAW or Immunizer or Grind Fragger or whatever would limit the amount of people that could overcome something that such a weapon is needed for. It would mean succeeding over certain foes would be all tied to what rare weapon a person could buy (and even with an auction house what one they could find), so certain parts of the game would be locked out except for those few who had one.

I think it's far better that tactics rather than just raw power, mod synergy, and bonus rolls can be used to beat all foes, like Nim and Jackleg Jack. And the rarity of such weapons also means that in PvP I am far more likely to encounter or use a sub-rare SAW or sub-rare whatever, so the only reason I'd need a rare one myself is to overcome that rare occasion. But that means a rare weapon isn't necessarily the best or only weapon that can be used to succeed, which means the value of it is imaginary. In my opinion.


And because most people who do get one are not going to sell it, it stills throws it back to the person to try and use dumb luck to possibly get one. That means it's just as rare to find someone willing to sell as it is buying one in a lockbox.
