The Explosives blueprints I,II,III,IV were released and changes in the economy have been evident. Residue has dropped to nearly tt prices (< 101%) Ores have dropped 10% or so across the board. Mining amps have dropped nearly as much in markup. etc..... Some people have embraced these changes while others bitterly resent them. Each side has argument that seem valid to them, but there is no argument that it has changed the game. Here is my thoughts/idea to stir the pot and make you think. (Warning: any player idea is bound to have unplanned side effects) Stage 1: Introduce Explosives blueprints - Done Stage 2: Once people are used to the idea add BLP, Laser, and Probe blueprints - Stage 3: Once people are used to the idea remove all ammo and probes except for rookie versions from the TT - Stage 4: Introduce a broad range of nanocube bluerpints that use different areas of loot. (nanocubes from enmatter, nanocubes from ores, nancubes from treasure, nanocubes from hunting oils, nanocubes from shrapnel, etc....) Stage 5: Remove nanocubes from the trade terminal. Pros: The economy will once again come full Circle. Markup will start to go back up. Everything will have a use. Less reason for TTing 'crap' Cons: Consumables will probably be 101% instead of tt. (but this will be the same for everyone, so in the end everyone is equal) What are your thoughts, fears, praises, dreams, hopes for this new Explosive era?
Craftable ammo...I didnt like that in other MMOs. Might create a new market..or totally fuck the game. Right now Explosive BPs feel like one-armed-bandits. Easy crafting, for any size of wallet. ;O Your post feels like a prediction, that might come true sooner or later. MA wants a slow and steady growth.
I feel it may be.... but hard to know if its right or wrong so it is safer to call it an idea than a prediction :)
Explosives kill multiple mob at once. That difference between it and other ammo makes me see your crystal ball is fairly cloudy...
