Sure all the weapons and UVs are sucky for now. But i personally, don't like the precedent that this is setting. I think its a bad omen and portends of dire things to come. How do you guys feel about it?

yah or nah on UV'd weapons in AH?

Its very easy for me to assume that everyone thinks this is the worst possible thing they could do (once they start putting better and better gear and UVs up) since thats my opinion. But i'd rather ask you all to post your well-reasoned opinion in non-flammatory ways.

so what says you community? This is a terrible idea, right? Or do you love it?

please note:

i acknowledge my own bias showing through in the way i phrased the questioning, but really, i'm merely trying to start an intelligent thread so i can gauge the communities feelings, strong or otherwise, for or against, this development. And if OOO can also see how the community at large feels by reading over this, well, the better for them to meet our overall needs, wants, and goals.

(or at least they'll be cognizant of our feelings, wether they act accordingly or not.)

Is this the thread you're looking for?

Basically, it seems like Spiral HQ is offering the rewards for the first few missions to satisfy completionists. I really don't think it's setting a precedent beyond "good community relations and response", at least in as far as simple, non-game breaking fixes go.

No need to worry, see?

It's only the rewards unable to be received from the first few missions we couldn't play. Everyone was complaining, and Nick wanted to be nice.

Yeah, but I just hope OOO really doesn't start putting UVed weapons in Featured Auctions.

I don't think this sets any

I don't think this sets any precedent other than "OOO listened to players who felt left out by not getting the early mission rewards".

As far as I can see, this is only because some of the players (me included) complained about not getting the 1-1 and 1-2 mission rewards. I'm pretty sure they're not going to put up viable gear in Featured any time soon--preferably never.

I don't think this quite

I don't think this quite counts. It would be different if it wasn't mission rewards that literally anybody could get. It's less of a "here, buy these UV'ed items," and more of a "here are the mission rewards, available for anyone who couldn't get them for whatever reason." These aren't UV's that are handed out via random chance, it's something that literally any 0* noob can get with little effort. It'd be the same as if they put the 2* Cobalt Armor recipes in the featured auctions.

That said, I do think that they need to not put regular UV'ed items up on the Auction House, for all the usual reasons. If it's an unchanging mission reward (like if there was a mission that handed out Beast VH Flourishes), then it's fine by me to have them up in the Auction House, but if it's something that you can only get through crafting, Punch, or buying from another player, then I'd be against that being put up.

more like "here, we'll sell

more like "here, we'll sell you these crappy worthless items that new players get virtually free".

Would only affect merchant

Would only affect merchant and those who had good uv for a slight advantage in LD. No matter what updates or ooo does, there will be people against it.

Embrace it with grace or quit in a hase.

IMO it just makes getting

IMO it just makes getting good UV's too easy for the rich pros/ credit card wielders.
