Instead Of Releasing Exclusive Mods, Release Renamed Versions Of Them.

[Gryphticon]

So that the value of the exclusive mods don't go down if they're released and farmable. Just a rename but no stats change would be enough to make the exclusive mods price stay the same. (Primed Chamber's buyers don't even use it, it's only for collection)

That sounds like a total waste.

IF they made a non-exclusive version, the two would obviously not stack (can only equip one or the other); and then the price for the exclusive would drop anyway, because you don't need them if there's an easier to obtain version out there.

 

So it would be pointless either way. Only the Codex completion percentage would change.

I don't see any utility in primed chamber and yet people buy those. Maybe for Vectis but who uses snipers anyways?

If people can get a non-exclusive version of Primed Chamber, which, again, doesn't stack with the original, then people WON'T be buying any primed chambers. It's not something you can show off, so it doesn't have any vanity value to have people try to go after it.

 

As for the mod itself, if you can't see how or where to use it, then you should probably not use it as an example, anywhere.

Just because YOU don't use them does not mean nobody does. I've seen quite a few snipers out there.

Primed Chamber is considered a different mod from Charged Chamber, so the two can stack and therefore deal massive amounts of damage per hit.

 

Also, I use snipers occasionally.

I use Sniper Rifles when I want to go show off for newbies by oneshotting bosses... and that's it.

There is no point to such change.

2 possibilities

1. Two names for the same mod, non-stack.

- then they are essentially the same in term of function. Event mod's price will drop since there is no point getting them anymore.

2. Two different names with the the same power, stackable.

- it remains exclusive, butthurt over exclusive continues.

Honestly, release them through nightmare, alert, or replace void credit reward with these mods is sound strategy. Wait for a few months to let free players take advantage of the price and let platinum flow from the impatient.

Platinum must flow!
