Bah! But did they not say all along that they would never alter the stats of a weapon? Damn.

Alright, heres what I think about all the points made in this VU.

The mining thing with bombs automatically detonating, may not be so good if you accidentally place a bomb. Or if you place one but decide a moment later to place it somewhere else.

I LIKE the idea of using residue to boost successful products condition, it sure as hell beats TT'ing it, and I'm glad that it only gets used up when there is a success and not on failures too.

The BP's in book not counting towards item count is good too, as I recently had to dump my entire bp collection into storage because my item count was constantly over 60

Not quite sure what to make of the message centre thing. Ability to store received messages while offline? Expanded FL? Interested to see this.

Items with limited uses eh.... or to the layman, perma-decay. At least this has not been applied to all items, and has been applied to special items which, fingers crossed will have stats worthy of the fact they will eventually break for good.

Learning bonus - I'm a bit unsure what this means. Does this mean that the weapons introduced in vu 7.6 will have these stats? Or does it mean that any weapon, looted or crafted in vu 7.6 will have these stats? If its the latter then I'm disappointed that I won't be able to assess my ability to use any of the weapons, because they are already so common ingame.

Skill influence damage - No need for testing anymore, nice of MA to show some transparency for once.

Unsafe zones changes - Disappointed slightly here, since TI is now PVP-Free there will be no more Capture the Mansion tournament, and I had been looking forward to that

Statistics on items - Reload rates? Accurate decay figures? That should help clear up all those dodgy charts

New advanced items in manufacturing - Oooooh yeah, gonna go get my Jester d-1 from apartment and have it reworked and customised, gonna upgrade it to a 230 damage, 180 range, 0.6 reload rifle.... WOOTASH!

Display panels added - YES, can finally hang my sword on the wall instead of having it on the floor.... WOOHOO!

Wedding items - Before you ask, I'm single, and happy being that way.

Condition limit change - Pretty sweet, longer hunts before repair. nice

Creature sweat levels - No more greedy whinging noobies! YAY!

Fixed bugged items - About time MA re-balanced this weapon. it sucks that the most economic rifle is 35k, yet the axe had much more economy and was TT+1. I don't think people can complain, they had it good while it lasted now its back to reality.

General items added - Variety is the spice of life

Man I gotta say, I'm impressed. A lot of things here I'm really looking forward to more than any VU perhaps, of course there will always be some niggles... but I am not anticipating being frustrated by this stuff, as I was when I read the skill system change.... lets hope this rocks as much as I think it will.

I have never heard them say that. Also, since day 1 there has been speculation that the elec damage was a bug. MA may have even commented on it, but I am not sure.

My real point here is that the 1x0 is a small peice of this VU. We should not ruin a great VU with whining about an unbalanced item that has been fixed. Rather, we should look towards good things and adapt.

This should be remedied with the event system.

Would you liked to wait a few decades for a bug-free win95?

[Morg]

Very nice indeed, cant wait to see how it plays


Though there is one part that confuses me :

"Claim deeds cannot be put (in/on) the auction, due to the time constraints. "

Does this mean that it will be added at another time because the time constraints of getting the new VU up and running didnt have time for it to be added at this time?

edit - good I skilled with them for hours after hours until I couldn't keep my eyes open any more the last couple of days

So it takes more swings to kill a mob, more time, and more decay on armor, and probably kill someone who isn't too strong if they take more dmg form each mob.
