Let me explain. I...............................................really really really




HATE




leveling. Their are many reasons. Far too weak, don't do enough damage to gain xp super fast not until you're high level at least, etc....



So anyways, a friend of mine(you know who you are :p) has been bugging me to join Uranus. But the thought of leveling again....................*cry*


But this will make it go much faster. So i made a deal with him if he can get an apu kami chip I'll do it. Kami chips are GREAT for leveling. Doing so much more damage, RUNNING FASTER, and all in one imp. I love it long time.

They may not be the "rage" for high level chars, but these are a god send for mid level chars.


:p

yet unless you know people who know the pattern, and or are clanned with said people....you will never get them as a mid lvl player....how many mid lvl players have artifact rares and psi cores to trade for one chip......bleh......

Yup you're totally right, that's the only problem.




Now if let's say "super weapons" were released for each class, that it was impossible to get good damage on unless you had kami, I don't see why these chips should be so rare. I mean no mid-levle player will get one unless he's in a clan with people who can get one for him.

I dont even think theyre super uber....most people who have capped chars or "near cap" chars can cap theyre weapons naturally....so basically theyre only wearing them to gimp themselves......but like me I would love one for my mid lvl spy, hes got literally no con resist yet anyways(only con lvl 24) so that chip would benefit me greatly as I dont cap my weapons yet and i wouldnt be worried about the resist loss....but even more I do have the means to get them, have a capped all but con PE with rifles that have insane range, but in the last few days, I have been looking, and no not just for 5 minutes and giving up, were talking about hours here, and in order to actually understand this "pattern" I would have to see one or have someone tell me where theyre spawning....but still even with that info I havent come across one, and Ill be damned if I give up anything of real cvalue for one, a friend of mine traded an artifact HL and a psi core for one.....I mean thats just rediculous.....

anyways the hunt continues...........

All in good time. Give it a few weeks and there will be enough of these chips out there to allow mid level players to get them for a decent price.

and its true, they are so great for leveling.

Not on Saturn. Not enough of them drop, and the areas they spawn at are camped (so I've heard).

Let me note out that my old fashioned 24zone check up proved u wrong
Saw ONE person during a 3hours period
And that my friend is NOT camping of zones ;)
Go fetch!

Yes, they are great, and i think their role *IS* to enhance mid-level players and not really for capped players.

Of course you can make some interesting setups with kami-chips with a capped char, but i think their better use is for mid-level players.

I think its good.... If any of you guys never played diablo 2 then you dont konw what I am talking about... Doing 1000 mephi runs just to get some nice drops that was awsome! And thats why it still goes on after 4-5 years

But I konw its harder to do a mephi pit in NC becasue áll are on the same "server" but then you need more unique mobs and even more MC5 places to herass becasue if KK want NC to be big +800 runners on a planet then they really need to look over the spawn places make more good ones if not its gonna be the dull slow slide camp CRP wannabie cave.... "or near by!"

the problem is there ment for mid level players, yet the prices ive seen the going for are not really what a mid level player would pay for a implant, nor can they really be got from the mob by the mid level player, so as it is they seem more a capped players mess around toy more than anything

Well, like I said, I had only "heard" that. Didn't necessarily mean it was true, hence I posted here to see if it was or not. ;)

If you have friends on another server with a constructor resser etc, do this. Get them to get every imp that adds to your main stat, most of the weapons from beginning to end, and all the drugs that affect your main stat. Then go to the highest level, busiest level area on the server thats safe for your faction and attack the non multiselecting mobs that other people are fighting. Avoid the multiattack mobs, and team when people will let you as you get within peoples level ranges. With the right conditions you can level up to 80 in your main stat in a single day.
Then you can pay your friend back after.

(although dont expect to do it quite that fast on Uranus where the server pop tops off at 200 :rolleyes: )

Give them time. Is a FH2 really worth 1mil+? Was a Berserk 3 ever really worth 1mil+? It's all supply and demand, within a few weeks there will be plenty of the chips, and the high level players who have them won't need them. They'll be just like BQ imps, or VK chests.

true enough Sci, though its still going to be in the hands of capped players what price they go for

Then I'll just have to go get a load for myself and sell them cheap in Plaza, won't I? :)

now...dont take this the wrong way or anything...i mean, i'm not saying this is true. or the way things work, but uh...

GM's lie...that is my own conclusion though. so dont take it as, spy said it, it must be true! but uh, i also, dont belive in a moment, that callash has any such 'tool' to assign the spawn rate in the zone to complexitaly orginize it so the game can move around the mobs in a semi readable pattern from zone to one when each mob dies...

because, as a long time neocron user, i know the neocron engine is a very powerful thing when it comes to being an RPG platform...but no one who actually works for KK has the fiantest idea how to use it...or, choses not to most of the time.


also, i dont belive, that only a, meaning one, GM can spawn these mobs. i also dont belive that all the GM command exploit bugs arnt fixed. and i dont belive for a second that mayhem mike happened to be hunting rats on the pluto server outzone sectors and kami mobs just spawned out of no where for him to kill...or the fact he could even kill them anyways should he happen to find them.

The tooth fairy, is something i also dont belive in, and i also belive the APC, will NEVER be fixed to good working status untill the game closes down.

I do belive, that KK is working on a secrete base in the middle of the desert, and is designing the Cactus Mech for GM use.

I also belive Snowcrash, plays a spy researcher, and even he, steals your good rare parts and gives you claw of bear parts.

again...these are my heavily biased oppinions and not to be taken for as facts.
