Why Are You Making Redundant Mods?

[Innocent_Flower]

Them damn event mods. 

 

 

Why? One is objectively better. (though the original mod costs slightly less if you leave it at a 10%. Because 10% is totaly useful with the current ballancing,right?) 

It's totaly Illogical. The standard thing to do would be to buff the original; Not make another. 

The same thing applies to status chance mods. The dual stat mods are objectively better at the thing the single stat mod should be focusing on. But these puncture and slashing mods...

Hush, you.

 

Yes, they should have made the event mods into buffs for the old versions, but they didn't. What's done is done.

Your guess is as good as anyone's. Add 25% reload speed, and all of the sudden these mods are amazing.

Because it fills the place of an event reward without having to do anything actually new and it fuels the platinum-based trading market.

Actually no, they can change it whenever they want to.

I was at least hoping for some Status chance on these mods, but DE did do so. I honestly don't know why DE makes these mods and keeps other mods unbuffed. I guess if people want to absolutely max their Puncture and/or slash damage to 150%, then it's a nice addition?

I use Fanged Fusillade and Sawtooth Clip on my Dread. All that slash damage plus the crits make it pretty tough to beat, especially when it procs.

[Magnar21]

Hush, you.

That's not very nice, he had a perfectly valid point. There is no reason for one set of mods to be absolutely more viable in every scenario.

 

EDIT:

What in the world? Your post most definitely doesn't  have the second line. And there was only one line when I clicked to quote you. Oh, you edited your post as I was quoting you. Forums didn't refresh.

Eww.

[DSpite]

Because they stack. And DE said a long time ago mods behave like cards in MTG, and cards are just that, cards.

 

Also, another pointless topic. If you don't want to use a mod. Don't.

*sigh* If I had a dollar for every response calling feedback pointless, I could retire right now. The only pointless thing here is DE releasing an obviously better mod instead of making the first mod not suck eggs.

Stacking potential. Find a crap version by chance, earn a better one. It's the same with ele mods on melee, more of the same ele in your combo, the stronger it is. Paris Prime with those two mods can be extremely powerful.

[Astrotrap]

Them damn Prime weapons.

 

Why? Primes are objectively better. (though the original might have one slightly better stat, which is useless)

It's totally illogical. The standard thing to do would be to buff the original, not make another.

 

 

Oh, wait. Prime weapons and event mods are much harder to obtain than normal weapons and Piercing Hit. Therefore, they're better, even if they do make the old one you probably USED to use completely redundant.

 

EDIT: It occurs to me that event and non-event mods can stack. So, they actually make more sense than Primed weapons.

i agree in principle because the Event Physical Mods are situationally useful - while the already existing Physical Mods were all 502% useless and using them is quite literally gimping yourself. (Jagged Edge is borderline because almost all Melee's are heavily Slash weighted, but Elementals are better than even that one).

 

 

If you don't want to use a mod. Don't.

what about Mods that are literally useless and are very literally the worst choice of putting a Mod into a slot you could ever make?

they were completely useless Mods, Mods that are always less Damage increase than any other Mod you could have put in there. even Reload Speed Mods increase your Damage Output more than those Mods.

so why do those Mods exist at all, if they're that useless? Mods should either be useful, or not exist. they don't need to be amazing, but they need to make a large enough difference to not be outclassed by every other possible choice.

One is hard to get all year round and takes an investment in crafting. The other is easily obtainable on certain days. There's a huge difference

That'd be fine if the harder to obtain mod was the lesser one.

 

 

Seriously though; The weak ones are so weak that you'd be better using a different mod rather than stack them with the strong mod.

Make them non-stackable and this isn't a problem.

 

And Primes are objectively better, but not all of the original weapons suck. I'm fine with objectively better items, but these aren't "reward" worthy items; they're the ones that should've been in the game since damage 2.0.

I do that too! I swear, I thought I was the only one who did it.

 

But, in all honesty, dread is one of those weapons that are already tough to beat on its own.

[DCypherThis13]

Eww.

That is awesome! You can take things out of context and make something less out of something useful.

[ProperMotions]

Let's not forget that they both even give the exact same conclave rating.

[Sakatchi]

Okay so this is going to blow your mind, but theres this thing called progression, where stuff gets BETTER.

 

Thats totaly mindblowing right, that a mod thats meh could get a upgraded version.

[Makya]

Couldn't you ask the same for why they invented 'damaged' mods?

[Innocent_Flower]

That puncture mod is four times better. It's not an upgraded version: it's a superior alternative.

If you could upgrade damaged mods into regular mods: we'd be ok. 

 

But yeah: you certainly could.

x4 better and not  available ingame.

 

 

Progression my foot.

[Archistopheles]

x4 better

When you take Useless, and multiply it by 4, you only get "Situational" at best.

No. 

 

When you get "useless because the numbers are too low for it's cost" and then remove the low numbers problem, you have a decently functioning mod. What they've done is kept one mod completely useless and released a valid version of it.
