    "NOT HAPPY JAN!!!" Give me a break. This is nothing. Why a 1 pec decay on limited armor. How ridiculous. They have totally lost their minds. The only reason lag is less is because half the people are not playing until this stuff is resolved. Grrrrrrrrrr :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

    No reason to be happy here, they changed not much, its especial curious how they give reasons for this extra fee. I think if someone will abuse they armor change to stall servers down he will not bother if its free or cost one or two pecs/part. Now they tell the dumb playerbase that has to do with the economical balance of EU. That remembers me of the BS what we hear from politicans nowadays :mad: (at least here in GER)
    This has all in all nothing to do with the listening to the playerbase, i bet its more about the pressure of moneyflow.

    I think there is no equipment decay on Limited Armor. Rather they reduced the 2 PEC to 1 PEC for Unlimited and removed the decay completely for Limited ones. I think that is what I understood from reading MA's Announcement. :confused:

    I believe you are right Phoenix. I stand corrected. Thanks.


    Armor Deterioration Changes
    15 Oct 2007 Following an evaluation of the changes in VU 9.0, recent armor deteriorations have been revised for VU 9.0.2 due on October 16.

    The 2 PEC deterioration of 'Limited' armor parts when equipping them has been removed. This will encourage the use of this armor type even more.

    The deterioration of 'Unlimited' armor parts has been reduced to 1 PEC per equip. MindArk wish to differentiate between Limited and Unlimited armor series. Hunters now have the added dimension of weighting the advantages and disadvantages of using an all-round protective armor which doesn't need to be changed as often, or using special armors that protect against specific damage types. This compliments the economic balance MindArk strive to achieve in regards to armors.

    The new abilities to 'Hot Key' armor parts will result in extra lag if abused i.e. participants repeatedly changing armors in crowded areas. This potential exploit is to be curbed. As the fee has now been reduced, an increased delay of 0.5 seconds is included when equipping armors.

    Heck!! I can identify with what everyone is saying here, but can't believe the tax on putting on and taking off your items!!
    I've had other problems with this new VU as mentioned in another post after having just virtually reinstalled my pc from scratch due to bad virus attack which left me with no Net connection and no Control Pannel. Incredibally my AV looked nothing like the one suggested in the recreation process (and why was this required for existing players??). It's all out of proportion - looks like something out of a horror movies, and so how could I join a soc, etc, etc - and it's all grayed-out (no colour), even though the terrain, etc, is ok. I only have pixel shader 2.0 but I should still be seeing some colour on my AV right? All other AVs are also grey...

    Nexus I have the same problem as well, with the shading. Might be your graphics card. I feel your pain. . . . .

    As Burgerman stated in another post, try to use a machine with a truely compatible graphics card when redoing your ava again. This will surely be your last chance. Good luck to you both.

    Well I'd planned on getting a pixel shader 3.0 compatible card soon which would solve the lack of colour (but not the ill proportions), but problem is I've already recreated my AV, so don't know if MA will let me recreate it again.

    You need to file a support case ASAP. They are going to let you do it again but you need to send support case quickly.

    WHAAT? Look - if you don't mind bla-bla-bot, I was for some reason just :rolleyes:nicely thinking of someone with no c.....s on (in the game that is) whilst waiting for MA to reply...

    At the moment all I can see is grey clothes, grey armour, grey hair, grey AV everything. When I reappeared in FT Argus the other day for the first time in days, it looked like a ghost zone, and when I looked at myself after pressing 'z' I nearly fell off me swivel chair.
    :surprise:But patiance is a virtue....

    That's your graphics card. I had the same problem. I replaced my old one with a Shader 3.0 compatible and it works great.

    Thanks Kets! I was thinking of getting a pixel shader 3.0 card, but you've just convinced me that I WILL get it:).

    I think you should send support cases. This is the only leverage we have in the game. Not nasty ones, just telling it like it is. I have always recieved replys whether I liked them or not LOL.

    I think you should hold off quiting for the time being. Find alternative things to do. The game probably will not change but there is always hope.

    Reduced depositing will probably be the only thing that MA relates to.
