The petrification wep glitch

Speaking of killing monsters and having them being cleared out quickly, what about if we put weaponspeed down to the same amount as server 2 is at? Namely 100 is the max on server 2. Just the 5 point difference in speed can make enough of a difference to keep the critters alive for a longer period of time.....

...and yes, Virginia, you would gain 5 points if this was done....

Sounds reasonable.

I have no problem with that Wraith.

I wouldn't fix what isn't broken. Of course there is going to be more high scores. The recent monster updates added many more titans then usual. Titans are big points. All of the doom monsters are also worth the same amount of points no matter the wave. If there is a sudden increase in high scores after something has changed, then you should probably look at what has changed. The weapon speed has remained constant for a long time now, and the null/petri has always been there. Five weapon speed points isn't going to stop people from scoring high. The fundamentals don't need to be changed, perhaps a different layout of monsters and an adjustment to the points they give will even things out.

Also it is not like people have been unable to get high scores like this in the past. When the high level skilled players kill aggressively they can, and always have been able to score high. Your ability to score is also dependent on the avg monster level and how many high level/skilled players are in the game. Lately I have seen many more defeats then I remember having in the past. It might just be me, it might not, but I wouldn't be so quick to change the basic stats.

Honestly, I can't tell the difference between 100 ws & 105 ws so I'm okay whatever he does :P

weapon speed has been 100 for a while now o.o (server 1)

weapon speed of 100 is fine. No one notices until some one asks what the
max is. As a player I doubt if 1 in 1000 could even tell the difference.

Does that mean we can make it 110? ;)

Now you see we might be able to tell the difference between 100 & 110 :P

I do believe Bigs is on to the right chain of thought because it is not showing which does not allow others to see the monster as petrified unless you get a shot in with your petrification weapon. I believe that may be the issue. because I was shooting and thought I was hitting the monster and not getting hitsounds, could it be that the petrification waves off all other hits and allows the shooter only to score off the monster?

naa man thats not it, i've used petri on crazy trans jumpers in the little boxes
using link mp5 mini and shock petri's and people have been able to kill off the titans i petrify now, i do think that if you double magic mod it it MIGHT do that, but idk thats a waste of adren to me
