SilverWeave Claymore ? Only /3.5 ?
« on: September 13, 2006, 12:41:28 pm »
Got one of these a few days ago and it only has a /3.5 slash. Is that right ? Did I get a dodgy one ?

Been told it might be 13.5 but the system does not do over /10 yet. That the case ? or just wishfull thinking ?

silverweave battle axe also sucks, while sw small battle axe on the other hand..

you will find that just because a ** XX dagger of YY is somehow special, a ** XX ShortSword of YY could still be of less worth or use than a regular standard shortsword...

Best plan is to examine & equip-test each special weapon if not 100% sure... Many a special weapon has been sold to npcs simlpy because "the blanketyblank short sword & broadsword were nothing special, so no need to check the dagger of same sort... doot dee doot dee doo..."

Hope this was helpful

So were you the one who was spreading false lies?

A guy by the name of Frak was going around falsely swidling money from people by saying these such weapons will become /13's and higher after the next update.

Are you frak or not?

Edit:

I'm very sorry :(  Testlab, i thought you were Frak, later on i found out RayvenD was frak.

Thank you for bringing up this point, i was going to make a thread about it anyway. :)

Weapon stats appear to be stored on the server database, in each individual weapon itself.

So anything that you still have after an update, tends to keep it's original stats, unchanged.

I have had two weapons of exactly the same name, have wildly different stats, because they were found before and after an update.

The super-high silverweaves are a bug, and the axes and claymores and whatnot that have the more average slash numbers are supposed to be the default.

No weapon will ever be over /10, and /10 itself is supposed to be stupendously more rare.

What about quality? Is 50/50 always going to be the rule? Will we have 1000/1000?

super high silverweaves? A dagger silverweave is /7.5 and yes it's the highest but a iron dagger for example is /6. Same with iron shorts and silverweave shorts. There isn't that big a difference exept that the silverweave ofcourse simply is the best and people will pay a lot for the best and a lot less for almost the best. ;)

And are stats like that bugged? Wouldn't it kinda beat the point of having so many different weapon "additions" and then make the difference between a normal and the best so small it hardly matters?

Is the intended max /3 for dagger then for example, with the irons and silverweaves being bugs? In my opinion the weapons should be more balanced and more spread with advantages and such, but think that as a max it seems just right compared to what the normal stats are.

I agree, that is why i find it inconsistent that a claymore silverweave or a battle axe would be so low...

Yea frak, i know you find it inconsistant.

But lieing about these weapons is another thing, and that's what you did.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The logs

(01:36:01) Frak tells you: best I have is sw ba 3
(01:36:17) You tell frak: only /3?
(01:36:48) Frak tells you: until the update, then it will be a 13, there is a bug for weapons over /10
(01:38:28) You tell frak: what? i don't understand you
(01:41:19) Frak tells you: ther eis a bug at the moment where any weapon with a slash higher than /10 loses 10 points so a /13 is a 3 and a /12.5 is a /2.5 it is being fixed in the update which is coming soon
(01:42:04) You tell frak: how do i know your weapon was a /13 ?
(01:42:15) You tell frak: i've never heard of it, and i'd think i was being cheated
(01:42:39) Frak tells you: you don't but if a silverweave shortsword is a /10 do you really think a silverweave battle axe would be a 3?
(01:43:16) You tell frak: Yes
(01:43:28) You tell frak: i know of a Silverweave BS that's a slash 3
(01:43:59) You tell frak: i've never heard of this bug and i play this game quite regularly, and i still feel i'm being cheated
(01:44:06) Frak tells you: then you're a fool, a battle axe is a stronger weapon. The broadsword has the same bug, I contacted the devs and they (karyuu and vengeance) both assured me it is a bug and will be fixed
(01:44:27) Frak tells you: that's fine, i'll happily keep my axe
(01:44:36) You tell frak: I'm not stupid, i've seen each of those weapons you've described, They will never be higher than /3
(01:44:55) You tell frak: And i hope you don't pull this stunt with poor new players who get abused this way
(01:45:11) You tell frak: i could report you for just saying all this rubbish
(01:45:30) Frak tells you: report me, that is what i have been told so i have no fear
(01:46:44) Frak tells you: in fact it was xordan not vengeance, just so the facts are straight when you report me
(01:46:49) You tell frak: I'd suggest keeping that whole bug thing to yourself, if i ever hear you sold one to a poor newbie player, i'll report you and personally kill you, i don't like having new players being abused
(01:47:06) You tell frak: I hate new player abuse, and this sounds like it
(01:48:02) Frak tells you: kill me? fool i don't have to let you even attack me. and report me now, i have no fear to be honest as i have the private messages on the forum from the devs i mentione dto back up my story
(01:48:18) Frak tells you: so in short, do it ,i am not scared of your threats
(01:48:49) You tell frak: You know what, this arguments over, i can't prove you're wrong, but i'll investigate for myself, and when i have enough evidence, then i'll see you again
(01:49:43) Frak tells you: i can't wait :)
(01:50:03) You tell frak: If by some mistchance i was wrong, you'll recieve a full apology, but i highly doubt that will happen
(01:50:41) Frak tells you: do you want me to forward yuo the messages from the forum, or perhaps take a screenshot of my browser with the messages? all can be arranged
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

By the way, i reported him and sent a Gm petition.

As you can see, this was a CON, this was clearly contrived, and he used this stunt to Swindle new players out of their money.

He is currently being dealt with by the GM team.

I hope no one else has fallen for this scam.

Unfortunately I tried explaining this in personal messages but Datruth won't try and understand. I informed the team of inconsistencies and was told the bug would be fixed, I misinterpreted what they meant by that. I'll admit my mistake. And as for being dealt with, i have heard nothing from the gm's and have not had any reprocussions, so I assume it is a very small if insignificant problem, if i feel the reprocussions fine, I have no problem with that. such a shame some people get so heated about small issues on computer games...... :thumbup:

A lot of weapons are bugged I'm afraid. Hopefully we'll get them sorted out soon. No weapon should be 10 (or higher) right now I think. Maybe later on (different damages adding up over 10) but not a base slash.

I'm just curious Frak, where is your evidence that you claimed to have?

I mean i'm a fool right lol ;D, now's your chance to gain a little dignity.

such a shame some people get so heated about small issues on computer games...... :thumbup:

Don't try and understate this, Lieing and Cheating, are still Lieing and Cheating, Whether you are in the real world or not.

Tricking new players into believing your lies is just wrong, whether you are playing a game or in real life.

A con is still a Con, and it's not a small issue, i'm sure those who have believed your lies will agree with me and will want justice.

hhmm then I feel the silverweaves should be brought down a little as if 10 is the limit it's obvious that the only weapon who should have it would be the best Claymore.

Would love to see the silverweave stay on top though as I find it a lot more original a name then Iron,Dark,Fire,Icy and such. Rather overdone those ädditions"in other games were Silverweave sounds a tad more mysterious and original, but that's just my opinion ;)
