ST's fatal mistake..., Don't aid in the spread this mistake Options

[HC82]

As many of you are already aware of, the new West Tower quest introduced a way to add percents to your weapons, any weapon that is(expect Sranks).

20 PD= +5%
1 Photon Sphere= +30%

The amount you can add to a weapon is not capped(100% is natural max). If you have 9 Photon spheres you can add +90% to three different attributes. With the in-game dupe bug that cannot be fixed(it's a natural bug in the game and can be done offline) this allows any gamer to alter ANY weapon they own with 100% to 3 different attributes. Using the in game dupe bug one can exploit this quest and create overpowered weapons, which aren't part of PSOs natural drop list(unless your the type of person who can beat the odds and win the lotto twice in a row).

Anyway, these weapons hurt the teamwork aspect of PSO and class balance. If anyone has played PSO ver1&2 you know the effect these weapons have on the community.

So on behalf of Apocalypse Tribe DO NOT USE these weapons online in ANY Apocalypse Tribe game room. I don't think there is any long standing AT member here who would disagree with keeping these weapon out of an AT game. It drains the fun out of PSO.
Offline is your own business, so do as you please, but online your only hurting whatever dignity PSO has left as an online game.

On the same note, however, I can't believe that ST is totally blind to the fact that duping is rampant on GC, and that this would only add fuel to the fire of unbalanced gameplay. They must really be in a "don't give a damn" mindset about the quality of gameplay on PSO nowadays, because there has been zero (apparent) effort to fix it

Theres not much they can do, with the dupe bug being offline and all. At the very least we are still getting new quests, which are fun. Weapons really should've had a hidden "has it been upgraded before?" variable though, so you could only use 1 photon sphere per wep
