Supremacy (L) What does it mean?

[mandu]

Today Supremacy (L) was discovered.

What does this mean? will UL armors prices crash if (L) drops at a reasonable level?

Will you buy Uber (L) armors?

Will the prices of UL armors go up even more because of the (L) movement?

What are your thoughts?

It means nothing.

L Jag was introduced months ago.. has even 1 full set been gathered? The looted L armors that have been introduced are in such low numbers that I see them as pretty much a non issue. Spend weeks/months/longer trying to gather a set of L armor that will just break if you use it regularly anyway? No thanks.

My guess would be that MA intends to raise the overall cost of using armor, but will somehow increase return rates in another way to balance this. The result could possibly be making the unlimited high end armors become eco gear and viewed the same way that the imp MK II is. This would make sense if they were doing the same thing with the (L) guns. Who knows though... I'll be happy if I can at least easily get (L) shadow thighs, gloves, and feet.

It means that we should be worried where MA is headed...

If we have to keep buying and re-buying equipment all the time because it is unrepairable...

I think the drop will be very low, and mainly done so that avatars like Metatron can complete a set. Allbeit with limited and UL parts mixed.

I'm getting disappointed with everything being (L) now as well

That's probably MA's intention. They will have the same use as Rutuba, Spartacus, etc, but will just look different for the sole intention of filling in sets with missing pieces, so they don't have to actually drop the unlimited versions of the needed parts. If I were to get the (L) shadow parts I need I would probably only wear them for show or when I absolutely need the exact same protection on every part.

Still bothers me a bit though that MA makes certain armor parts of a set extremely rare. Is it that old avatars have a few of these parts kicking around in storage and keeping others from dropping? If this is the case then if that person's account was eventually purged someone would probably loot all of those parts on one hunting run... Someone wearing full ghost, that will sell the parts to a reseller than cash the money right out of the EU economy. MA doesn't do a very good job of getting "needed" items into the hands of those that actually need them.
