The Coming of VU 9.1

I managed to buy some cheap... both Shogun and Gremlin... the markup plummeted :) would have been nice to loot some though.

 

I dont think i can get the needed footguards before VU 9.1 comes in.
I need Ghost foot guards , think that they are crafted and MA has only given out a low ammount of BP´s to the same supported crafters. These crafters seems to not produce a bigger ammount of them and are on the way to make themself a golden nose :(
I dont bother very much about this atm because since the armor change fee i manly hunt without armor

 

I spent many hours and peds hunting the mobs which drop nemesis boots, as that is my mainly worn armour. It seems many players, as well as myself, failed to loot any nemesis that they could wear. Meanwhile MA insist that the boots have a high droprate and are "not rare", while gleefully benefitting from all the ammo, decay, deposits made by hunters trying to loot these boots.

Sorry MA but I won't be hunting much for a long time. :yeah:

 

I got my feet for the two sets I'm using, Pixie and Shogun, waiting in storage. I have also looted two pair of Vigilante feet (M and F), one pair of Gremlin (F) and one pair of Kobold (F). Think we got some Gnome feet last EuTropian Beacon Mission as well. So for me it has been a pretty good drop rate. I have gotten these from relatively easy mobs though, haven't tried much on harder ones. Except some Allophyls, no feet there...

 

I also bought my Shogun Foot-Guards and have them ready to use. I would prefer however if the foot-guards were worn above shoes :p

I believe that the addition of foot-guards in EU only improves the appearance of the armor as a whole but really it is a "painful" addition as far as PED are concerned :(

 

I've got some for my older sets (just for completeness), but I'm yet to get Shogun or Ghost. Shogun is cheap in auction, but keeps going downward, so I'm just waiting until I actually need them.

Ghost on the other hand is still high. As Stratos said, they're crafted, so it could be to do with the BP droprate. However, I'm more cynical, and I think the crafters are keeping the price high to generate more income.

I've also looted Vigilante twice, but that was ages ago and the markup was high, so I sold them :-D

 

What do you mean by that? I've never actually put foot-guards on :-)

 

You have to remove your shoes to put foot-guards on

I tried it as soon as I got them :(

 

FOOTGUARDS?? Does this now mean that you will get more damage if you don't wear footguards?:Beaten:

 

Yeap. This is how MA forces you to spend PED. PED that could be used elsewhere.

Before VU 9.1 the armor provides full protection without foot-guards. After VU 9.1 you are going to need foot-guards to complete any armor set for full protection. :(

 

I need crafted Ghost but until the price falls to somewhere near the rest of the armour i will use Shogun or something similar:(.
I have failed to loot Vigi yet but the price is not to bad at the moment but i can see it rising if more sets do not loot soon.
I have looted only Pixie so far but it has come in handy for the NOTM Prize :D.

So i would say with the lack of Footguards MA has really 'stitched us'

 

After hunting recently with the stupid 'This item is busy' messages - what the hell is it doing? I don't pay for my items to be doing something other than hacking mobs or finding deposits!
..and FAP charges that magically disappear, funnilly enough just when an argo hunter decided he doesn't like the look of you
..and miss rates that bear no resemblance to the stats
..and ever decreasing hit points on the same weapons with more skills
..and
..and

I think now the requirement for foot guards that - by the way - make my shoes decay every time I want to wear them - is just about becoming the last straw.

I'm going to go back to orange and bare feet and become entropia's first monk.

 

What an utterly stupid idea. They could have at least made it consistent with the way the rest of the armor set works...

:roll:

Erach.

 

:rotfl:

 

:surprise:

Spot someone who's never worn a helmet :D

Erach.

 

Beware for the evil toe snatchers.
VU 9.666 Hot Coles, Lava and Frostbite(in blue parts of map) will be introduced

I don't have any shoes on at the moment and like the aboriginals. Im not going to ware anything on my feet anytime soon. Its just a way of life ;)

 

I plan on wrapping my feet in the thigh armor that I keep finding.

Or, I'll make Dung Shoes (L). That way I'll never run low.

 

Well, if I ever get back into EU; because getting a pixel shader 3.0 compatible card for an AGP slot (I don't have PCI express slots) that actually says pixel shader 3.0 compatible on the spec is not as easy as it might seem, I'll be wearing footguards over my bare feet:cold:
