The point of PPT is you get 4 days a week off if you want them, so you can spend 4 max enjoying not playing this game, then spend 3 farming/massing whatever.Field Marshall wrote:Forum wrote:regads cost of PPT - i quite like the 'tough choices' of resource or MT ... either way it costs -- but opportunity cost... so its not a 'big account; little account' issue... just needs and wants and such...
Me too, we've had it good for so long. I also agree with the increased PPT cost. Makes the game a war game and not a game of chase.
Sorry guys but I do
You don't have to use PPT, you can spend all 7 playing if you want. If someone else does PPT 4 days a week, well tough **Filtered** sucks for you they have other things to do.
To be honest PPT should be free and cost 1 or 2 MTs. It's just something that has to be there for people who aren't hardcore and don't sit at their computer playing this for hours every day. By making PPT cost more MTs or Naq you help no one, and hurt everyone. How is that good for the game?
Just buy some super defence weps and you won't need to!
....and no Empy it's no tough **Filtered** for me, ATM it's tough **Filtered** for you. Just saying, I like that idea, not everyone has to agree with you. What's more, you can PPT twice, look at the options again before you get on that high horse

i am not against treating them differently in attack or sab damage calcs....
maybe even a new type of attack that steals the glory weapons. so if you pack em, protect em or you will be beat on hte head with em...
regards ppt if you want to play 3 days a week, use MT to get your ppt (all MT) or farm a bit of naq for it, or do both - a free MT one and a NAQ one and have 2 MT left...
lotsa options. I really doont think anyone cannot afford 2ppt ...

Call the weapons what you want Jason, they are still stupid! All it means is that you can keep your weapons and your spies relatively safe and away from risk.
I'll run some tests in regards to the time it will take to mass them to 0 whilst on NOX.
This will be abused massively Jason. Prehaps you will consider super attack weps doing a % similar to that of the current weapons in terms of damage points?

I am starting simple - and can then quite easily layer new options over time...
right now there is only:
1) 1000GnR <> 250,000 AP in ascended account
2) huge (298,000) def weapon. 1000GnR <> 1000 weapons
3) huge (300,000) att weapon. 1000 GnR <> 1000 weapons
note that these weaons are special - god granted if you will...so nobody knows how to fix them. Although if you go to get more, the gods automatically repair existing weapons of that type for you...
they are damaged in fights, sabbable, spyable, etc...just like normal weapons in that way.
Its worth noting that the GnR market is a part of the regular market, and purchases use up market turns (of the 6 you will have weekly....)
This should address those with 'too much' glory

GeneralChaos wrote:Instead of the new weapons doing fixed damage or a % damage, which will probably need tweaked like 1000 times before its set just right, why not make it a set number of times the weapons can be used.
Say after 250 (or 2500 AT's used ) attacks the weapons auto destroy themselves.
