Effects of new VU on economy

Eco will very likely be pretty bad on those, especially with the markups, but in pk people rarely mind a lot about that.

When looking at the stats of the first new looted guns, I am very very curious to see the stats on the guns which will be crafted with the lvl15 bp's... Interesting to keep an eye on price evolution of ML35 and the likes imo...


Another effect might be an increase in skill value. Most of the new stuff requires high level to get SIB and to max it (lvl 15 bp needs lvl40 engineer to max ...) so skills will become very important soon imo.

Seriously that is posted after EACH VU...

The price on unlimited stuff will continue to rise as there is a demand for them.

The high end gear that drops now is not for all to use. As you say so yourself it takes alot of skills to use.

And believe me - getting a ml-35 is so damn much cheaper than chipping up to lvl 39 which is required for the LR-65...

MA just releases some gear that also will satisfy those that really got alot of skills. Ofc it also gives us lesser skilled something to aim for - but I really dont think it will make the prices on stuff like ml-35, 45 and so on drop.

As long as people continue to hunt, long range weapons are needed - and ml-35 is basicly the best you can get for that. No limited weapons can do what that rifle does -so yes the price will continue up.

As Kimmi posted yes I think some of the unlimited pK weapons will fall abit in price since the new limited weapos do have damn nice stats. But I also think that MA will hold the droprate back abit so its not like the LR59 that all can get today...

This VU isnt any different from any of the others. Some prices go up and some go down. It will be like this forever.

Should the question be , what is wrong with the EU economy that MA need to drastically increase the cost of huning mid level mobs?

Nothing is wrong. Just look at the ATH's and other very nice big hofs.

It is just to make it more challanging to kill the mobs. Some of them also hits less or at least misses more than before - so you get to shoot abit more instead of just making the easy kills.

It is just dymanic

Hi all.

Sometimes when my Pedcard is low I uselly hunt with EP-40 + 103 amp and I can if I want take out atrox alpha relative easy, ok, its take a while, but now its allmost impossible. And ofcourse all misses was there before like now.

So why couldent MA reduce missrate on all mob with new Hp and quicker regenerate, in line with avatar skills, this I dont understand...

So MA please let us be able to use our skills better, and dont have to miss so much. Yesterday I have a Longo belly all over my screen and still miss it, its rediculies.

My guess : The Maffoid LA east of Segna is now valued more
as well as an atrox eye (or DNA)

The future of amps is uncertain right now for me (well, I seldom trade them anyway) as:
1. There is a thread mentioning that an A104 dropped from an ambu (?) - so let's wait and see
2. Well, new big amps (L or UL) may come up when attachment bp lvl11-15 come


But there will be impacts on the prices of (to add to what has been already said here):
- Core hunting skills (hangun, riffle, ...)
- Empty skill implants
- Crafting skills

My guess is that more ppl will chip in, hence raising the prices (slightly for hunting and ESI ; and bringing back engineering from its 8000% hole to 10,000+% at least until an easy and cheap lvl 15 component bp is discovered - but let's see, that bp won't exist, i'd guess)

Mining and ores, I don't know - I am wondering how many ppl will resume their mining activities because of the VU (this VU, so, seems well accepted all in all, I saw few avatars chipping out or offloading key gear in the auction so far - the market stays fine as well, which is a big difference from the "footguard VU", which brought three weeks of price crash)

I just hope that the VU will deliver what it is meant to deliver: more 100,000+ peds HOFs. If yes, new players will join, so all good. If not (...)

I expect Engineering price will not plummet quite as rapidly now. Other than that, i can't really think of anything likely to change significantly. However, often drop rates change in a VU and that could affect anything...

Urrgh, This new VU is making my head spin... But it could be the booze...

I'm sure that the new VU won't have much impact on our economy apart from drop rates and resource finds or lack thereof...

One thing I noticed was a lot more of the rarer extractors pre-9.3 dropped during atrox hunt. (50+ per kill compared to 1-10 previously)

Your major problem here is using a UL weapon. Ignore anyone who tells you the miss rate is the same or even close. You miss at least 200% more with a UL weapon until you hit about 7.0 HA, it is easily mathematically provable. These UL touters are deluding themselves.
