Make boated high damage weapons consumeables instead of nerfing them making it necessary to rebuy them if destroyed. If your PPC gets destroyed you have to buy a new one with c-bills only.

unfair? games are inherently unfair, there are winners and losers, make it so that 1 ppc is affordeable but two would be quite an investment, like consumeables.

In a game where income is tied to winning gating the better weapons by cost would just ensure that the winners stay winners; That'll eventually stop being fun for the losers.

This does not happen with consumeables, like I said make one weapon easely affordeable but if you loose 3 or 4 it won' t be as affordeable.

Not just PPC's make high tier weapons like consumeables or do you mean a return of repair costs?
It is difficult to make out what you mean because of grammar.

This sounds almost like the old "repair and rearm". That was removed after a like of $!t(h!ng and moaning from the community. Somehow I doubt that making certain direct fie weapons "repair and rearm"will go over very well. The other issue is that when R&R was in game a lot of players played an EXTREMELY cautious game so that they didn't take damage that they'd have to repair. It really had profound effects on the game.

this would only hurt new players. for u who did not go through R&R there was times when we got 2.5 mill per match just to cover costs. the old players with tons of money would just go meh here take 400k for a new ppc.

Why do we have to rebuy PPCs, instead of the whole mechs when they are destroyed? I'm just following your logic...

Isn't my grammar more clear now? :ph34r:
