BB vs v3

[NetNomad]

I used these words talking about Psycho Wand, a v3 item >_>

Someone just got served.

You used those words in reference to all your characters, though. Implying that the others use some or all of BB's crazy-power weapons.

It's funny that when people had only v3, they were vehemently complaining about the fact that 80% of the weapons in PSO are useless and/or joke weapons, with crappy bonuses or crappy special attacks, then when ST finally decides to listen and make actually useful weapons, the same whiners are complaining again.

People were complaining about that, most likely, because they were too busy hunting a Zanba with hit% and failing. 'Twas more about the fact that they couldn't obtain v3's ubers than the nonexistance of said ubers. ;[

I'll give you the fact that, since most of the BB weapons have good specials, it allows a player to be really powerful and somewhat stylish at the same time by giving them more choices. But IMO the game would've been more balanced without sacrificial specials, particularly on nonrares which would make many people prefer nonrares with hit to something with actual style (and no, I'm not against sacrificial specials themselves; I have berserkers, but I use them with a LOT of restraint).

Excalibur and Daylight Scar are not "ridiculously overpowered", they are more powerful and efficient, without a doubt, but they don't make the game noticeably easier; easy areas remain easy, hard areas remain hard

To someone like me, taking away difficulty from a game is ruining its fun, I can assure you EpIV items only add to the fun of the game.

Same here... except I tend to like to use mid-range-power weapons and play in the easy and medium-hard areas. Why? Because it gives me more weapon variety. There's still a difficulty factor there... it just doesn't involve taking uber weapons into PW4 (which is why I don't touch PW4). What annoys me is when people who ARE equipped for quests like PW4 feel the need to use that same equipment to whorish levels in easy areas, sometimes at the expense of fun/exp for people who want to use things that aren't as freakishly powerful (because they don't have the same qualm with anti-difficulty as you or I do).
