I noticed no change to their aggro, nor their attacks.

It makes them quite an interesting mob as they have pretty high HP so can presumably drop some really big loots, but are relatively easy to survive (with Zombie+5B I barely had to fap so you could manage with less than that quite comfortably). Makes it an interesting option for people who can't cope with the big HP, big damage mobs, although the regeneration means you really need a big dmg/sec gun. I'd say with P5a+106 they're regenerating at least 10 shots worth before you kill it.

Did some scanning btw;
Allo mature HP before VU: 350 ... .after VU: 620
Esto old HP before VU: 570 .....after VU: 890

Nice slight adjustment

Why is it that every VU makes more money for MA and ruins the experience of hunting/mining/crafting for players.. For once ide like to see a VU that does something positive for the gaming experience rather than adding new skins and textures for that table sitting in the apartment..

Why? ... so everyone can be pawned to death buy 3 tantillions?

Last i checked, tantillions have a normal attack rate. This should only affect aurlis, hogglos, and such.

Combined with the increased mob density at CP, though, that could be some serious mangling on me next time i go there.

Its quite interesting to hunt them. Makes dmg/sec pretty important.

Adj FAPs, probably. :P

It's a way to stretch out the range of mobs to raise the bar. It will allow old school guns to gradually become less useful and permit newer, high-end SIB weapons to be introduced that aren't massive overkill.

It's just taken longer for them to move in that direction than i expected (e.g. they described the process in the last skill nerf VU a year ago).

I went to Troy,
traded with socmate,
jumped into tp for Nea's,
hit the "go" button,
ctd ,
now ctd everytime I log in.

guess this vu will save me money. finally, something good for the players.

edit:
Reboot fixed problem, sadly.

Unless loot depends on damage done, not base hp of the mob.

Cant wait till I get off work

13.3 PED loot on a small ambu trip (100PED ammo) .. but it's always crappy loot right after a new VU so i guess we have to wait a while..

Anyways it makes armor more important also, everytime u use the FAP the mob will regen much. U will save much money on these mobs by using an armor that takes away most of the dmg.

Yes, valid point and very much relevant now. I'm not sure how easy it will be to test this as individual loots are very varied compared with when Witte first tested it ages ago and found loot depended on damage done rather than HP. On the plus side for the testing, its easy to do loads of extra damage now - just stand in front of an ambu shooting with a 15dmg/sec wep and you'll never kill it

I did a 320 PED total hunt, were a few server crashes/resets during it and I don't know how that affects loot but got 285 PED loot back which isn't bad with no big loots.

Also true, yes.
