Remove the rare to non-rare stat gap.

[awkward silence]

Clearly since damage never "caps" every bit of stat in every bit of weapon counts.

Rares are lower TL and additionally to that they take a heavy beating on stats (about 15 lower).

So please remove the rare to non-rare gap please! :)

I agree.
With the new system it's pretty stupid otherwise.

Guns that come in 120% quality already give a bonus to damage over non rares.
This combined with the crap quality of non rares pretty much renders them useless with the new open end system.

[Richard Slade]

Yeah, because rares are so bloody hard to get..
Seriously, there's a reason for the rares in the first place,
and it's not for the swirly (Well, it's not ALL about the swirly atleast!) :angel:

[SorkZmok]

Just because theres rares doesnt mean when it comes to pvp all non-rares should be neglected.

I'm all for more variety of setups. And that includes viable non-rares.

What about PEs that can't reach the high end guns? They should be abled to use the highest non-rare counterparts if they like that kind of weapon.

Otherwise all PEs are forced to use low end rares or epic guns. Just because the non-rares are crap. o_O

actually atm there's no viable non rare weapon (except mebbe tt epic cannon, tho i never dealed damage that even comes close to the amount ppl said they received by it, ppu receives a whopping 9 damage with a legshot).
additionaly there's close to no variety in pvp setups, especially due to the new woc weapons.

[Dromidas]

I don't see a reason to remove the caps on em myself.. there aren't any non rare (non woc) weapons worth using highend even at 120% except ionic.. I wonder if ionic get the 7.5% rare bonus..?
if they intended non rares to be viable they wouldn't give rares a 7.5% bonus and woc 8%... non rares get no bonus.

[yuuki]

actually they intended it but failed to achieve that goal :p
(same is true for balance)

[Ruoja]

im 100% behind this one!

[Dribble Joy]

Is this the cst difference or the rare dmg bonus?

For the latter, it does mean HC and melee PEs are a little stuck and those who want to use something like a tl92, blacksun or spitfire.

(Same is true for 2.2)
