damn man... my noob spy on uranus, he's got no implants and it sux...he's high enough to use them but i swear uranus has the most either greedy population or the poorest, or the lowest .....

every single day i get on, i run around plaza 1 theres never anyone there, some reason on uranus tradeskillers hand around plaza 2 now...

trying to find a poker/constructor/ress'r is easier on pluto than on uranus i've found ;/....

ive been spammin for 3 days to try to get a Distance Cpu 1 / bp of it, no replies...

most of the replies i DO get are random people just sayin are you really shujin? couple people even accused me of NOT being shujin O_o said i didnt act like shujin...

anyways... man its hard... using the tech rifles, only up the the 1st level of pulse laser rifles ( which are weak as hell ) and i only get about 130% of the damage even with almost all of my dex in rifle and int in wep lore... and im about 10 levels above the dex needed to use the damn rifle and i dont nearly cap it... wtf

Yes, weekends... Its a very GMT based server. With a large % from Germany/UK...

I dont accept payment from people new to the server. Why take 10 k and add it to my masses of millions when that person has nothing?

Its not charity, just make a mental note, and if i ever make a char on your server, return the favour ;)

Tradeskilling on almost all the servers right now is starting to really take its toll on the game. Lack of a decent population is truly the #1 reason why this game's economy is in a state of extreme over inflation. Some say that its because of the c_10 barter thing, but if there were 5 times the population there would still be that problem, however, it would be spread out more across the board. And again, the barter/constructor combo is seriously killing this game. Sorry for being off topic.

I don't ussualy use imps on my chars unless I'm in range or some sort of lvl 3 imp that is essential to the setup or a rare imp :p
cba getting poked every bloody minute someone ganks me, I crash, or I'm just plain out of luck.

how do u cap ur weapon with no imps? like i said i got almost all of my dex in rifle and int in wep lore and im like 10 dex levels over the req for the damn weapon and i only do 130%... its a bit suckeh ;]

I normally hold off on imps till I can use mostly lvl 3 imps...below that they're to much of a pain to find or not worth the money for the short amount of time they'll really be useful

*shrug*. I just use drugs until I can use lvl 3 implants. Never had a problem with it. I guess im used to it though since back when I first started retail over a year ago, lvl 2 and lvl 3 implant drops were busted all to hell.

I remember paying 300k for a moto 3.

I don't use implants until about mid level or later. Lower rank means more xp :)

pulse rifles suck so bad

Yes, and rc/wep adds to combat rank, which determines your xp.

I use every imp and every drug possible while leveling, its not necissary but i'm talking power leveling here, some characters(like my pistol pe) i specifically stayed away from drugs cause i thought the mendicant pistol and other non T-C pistols were just so damn fun to use.

I use drugs whenever I see the chance to gain xp faster. btw Bounty, where in Illinois do you live? :p

Just wondering, I live in chicago.

Once? did you relog, or reset rank before trying? It takes a bit and sometimes ranks bug on display. Subskills definitly add to combat rank. For instance just meeting a libby reqs can give you one star but capping it and same DEX will get you two stars.

I never use implants when I level! Ask kramer!! I only use implants when I get to the point I dont want to level and want to go mob hunting.. Which is like 80 in DEX.. for a Spy and 70 for a PE.. :)

actually they do . . . just ask for a ppu togive you a combat 3 boost and it should raise it

most people on uranus are anti-cityadmin so trade is now at plaza 2

With my rifleer i didnt bugger about with pulse lasers - the automatic rifles all the way til 1st raygun are the way to go.

heheh on my pe by the time i had 55 base dex, i already had +25 from imps and armour (rifle pa1, balanceadvancer3, motoric 2 & 3, vehicleinterface 3). tho i notice a serious lack of being able to add to rc cause i'm just constantly trying to keep my tc up to a level where i can use hightech rifles that correspond with my dex level.
