What do people say to you? What do you say to them?
Im just curious cause im planning on getting a biohaz soon and I dont want a insta-kick from a party the moment I join just cause i brought it alone with me >.<
I guess I can always hide it in 2-4 wep slot but Iv seen people kick others just cause they have a shadow wep(mainly GF and Umbra) and when I change my wep some of the more anal people might see it and kick me T.T

Whats a good excuse/reason to say to those people?
I have tons of experience with these kind of people and they annoy the crap out of me even though I never use it and just want to heat it up >.>

Why not...

Just take it to RJP/JK? where everything in front of you will melt from it?

(Course, I've never been to FSC so i dont know how much boosted payout there is when comparing FSC to RJP/JK)

and theres more opportunities for heat donation

I'm not sure about 2x.

I'm not sure about 2x. Doesn't seem like a huge increase in cr per ce. It is, however, an incredible amount of time spent if you don't happen to find a good group that won't kick you to make space for better vanaduke fighters.

Why would you bring it to fsc, is the question.

.....

cause FSC gives ALOT more heat than any other map (except Strat 6 arenas)

Just say you are heating it. So long you have at least one more weapon that does work there it's fine.
If you dont want auto-kicks when you join, dont wear it on first slot and disable full isnpect.

Heating

Just say you are bringing it for the heat, and still have a few competent weapons. Then you will even have cases where party members will allow you to take their heat, via dying and you reviving them.

Put it in slot 4, make sure

Put it in slot 4, make sure the rest of your gear doesn't suck. Few people will question you heating up oddball pieces of gear that way.

Just don't try to stick charges to slags that other people are beating on, and whine when they kill them before you can detonate.

I brought my acheron to FSC

I brought my acheron to FSC multiple times. I was also the party leader but that is a different story. Either way, no one said anything to me about my shadow sword, but I get a lot of comments about my Combuster (go figure).

Anyways, like others said, just say you are heating it. You can even ask for heat donations.

If you really want a lot of heat, you either need to find people willing to donate in FSC, or do a noob run in T2 with a bunch of areans or RJP. Step back and watch the slaughter, then rev them all and kill all the monsters.

hmm

I guess cause its because I also wear my proto set as costume, so when ppl see a proto guy with a shadow wep in FSC, they auto-kick :(

Don't wear it? Proto set

Don't wear it? Proto set isn't exactly great, aesthetically. Who likes seeing a skinny guy with a big head wielding huge weapons?

But saying that, I do wear wolver as a costume, just to troll the duskers who think they're so good in RJP.

well........

@demonicsothe

the only other set of costume i have is my heavy demo set, and that doesnt exactly look great either.....
I dont want my vog set showing cause i dont like seeing clones every time i visit AH......
I guess its not so much as the proto set, its more the shadow wep.....

@Darkbrady

that gets me insta kicked >.> trust me i tried that line before

Well, its either look like a

Well, its either look like a clone of noobs, or a clone of 5*. You could go for a mix of both and wear dusker :P

Go solo then. If people kick

Go solo then. If people kick folk becasue they bring less useful weapons then they're [sillyheads].
What if you went with only 2/3 weapon slots? Would they kick you then?

If they're stupid/self-centred enough to do that, you're probably better of goin' solo or with guildies, especially if you're just bringin' the gun to level it up.

Ever walked into FSC with full 3* armour and a coupel 3* weapons before?

I have; totally easy :D

...just don't get hit e.e

hmm

@Darkbrady

i lag alot and i dont want to risk dying and having to spend ce for revs so im always with a party
and my lag is the reason why sometimes i mess up the order of my weps and bring out a shadow wep(like my faust) out and using it instead of my DA
I realize and correct myself pretty quickly but sometimes its not good enough for the pros T.T

@Joanthansiu
If I get the time to type that out before getting kicked, then theres a good chance I can stay with my party
but when I do get kicked, its almost instantaneous and I dont really get a chance to say much :(

Metagenic

this is the problem

You wear proto gear as a costume, and have a dead-weight shadow weapon equipped, so people naturally assume you're a credit card warrior who doesn't know about damage types and monster resistances.

^^true dat

@metagenic that's really true it is really obvious when someone joins my party in royal jelly palace, with 5* gear and they're like "holy [crap]!! Look at the size of that thing!!" when they see the royal jelly and they spam clicking it with their barbarous thorn blade >.>
