well, the donate limit sucks. i was planning on donating for some levels b/c time to play gets limited but now it looks like i can't. is that change just b/c one person complained about it?
Warning: Incoming Warhead!!
Wanted on 1000 planets for mass destruction of alien life forms!
If They want less money from Us, then what are We to stop them :ssmile:
What troubles me is, that when You donate and ask for levels as reward, then Your Weapon Masteries are basicly cripled. You skip several levels without practicing in any of the masteries. It would be nice, if people who donated for levels, would be able to donate for Weapon Masteries boost, which would offset the disadvantage agains people who gained their levels in normal way.
Or... Ant could do that for free..
In example: He would check how many experience points are required to level up from level 80 to 100 (which was my case) and then he would divide that ammount to half (because people usualy get half of their xp from objectives, vehicles and map wins) and finaly divide the ammount by five and added the resulting experience number to each of five weapon masteries' exprience stats, then it would accordingly affect the Weapon masteries' procentual damage bonus.
What do You think about it ?
By the way, Am I the only one who is not going to make Necromancer character as soon as it comes out? :sshake:
Warhead: Ya think that Somethingtosay trolled them into it?
I made an AM character just to be able to use electromagnet in safe spots with 500 adrenaline and rejuvation weapon +5
sokoro, getting your weapon masteries up goes far faster then getting your rank up so there is no need to spare you that little work.
And yeah, I was wondering about the mocking weapons too, I had set it on the wiki to 3 because Ant said months ago that he had reduced the mocking guns and it also felt like it.
and it makes no sense anyway since i was just playing torlan and made 3 mocking weaps and all got +3 as usual, and skeeter tried the new + thing and they dont overmax anyway, so i dont know what he's talking about with 4 and 6, the mocking weapons are exactly the same
To be more technical about the Mocking Weapons:
The modifier range was set from 1 - 6. It wasn't adjusted before because it was never an issue since the Mocking Weapon Maker forces the modifier based on the Paladin's ability level.
Now that Berserkers have a remote max modifier (Weapon Forge altActivateItem), it's now possible to max the Mocking Weapons. Therefore, the max modifier for Mocking Weapons were reduced from 6 to 4.

Right but I have max aggravator and skeeter used the max modifier to max my healing weapon to +3(so he had the right artifact) but then he tried to use it on my mocking +3 weapon, it didn't go to +4, is that not how we get to +4?
