New Ammunition & Method for Obtainment

oH, AND AS FAR AS "WHA DONT MAKE IT PLASM, I NEED A BILLION PLASM" stop being impatient children. You remind me of my son who lost interest in the game because he couldn't go from 1-99 on his first job in 2 days. Delve weapons , gear, and soon to be ammo are not meant to be for the feint of heart that dont want to expend effort. It is elite gear, meant for people ho are willing to dedicate a lot of time and effort to it. the guy that doesn't feel like delving for the stuff shouldn't HAVE the stuff.

Here is the problem, if the hardest thing in the game is Delve, and you spend more Delve Ammo than you get doing Delve, why get the ammo? It seems to me if you are getting it and you have to use up this expensive ammo then you are probably going to use it on the hardest thing around, which is itself, and if your not making as much back, then it becomes a pointless investment, you should just spend it on gear which effects all of your ammo rather than one which is expensive and exclusive. Just to say, when I mention it being expensive I mean to say that you will probably be spending more on that ammo than you should, so much so that you are getting less damage in the end by neglecting to upgrade gear and weapons with it. Also, non-consumable ammo would allow for them to add in augments to the ammo, they can not if it is consumed, because even if they did, I am not sure who is retarded enough to spend 60 Mil to finish a single arrow or stack of arrows which are slightly stronger. Basically them being non-consumable, sounds like a good idea!

Greetings,

In regards to the new ammo to be added via Delve content, I would like to point out a couple of things.

First, while this ammo can only be obtained from Delve, it is not limited to use with Delve weapons. You will be able to use it with any weapons that can utilize the ammo. However, just like the rest of the Delve equipment it will not be possible to sell or trade them.

Next, I am sure a lot of you are curious about the damage values on this new line of ammo. Though this is still being worked on and there may be some changes, the below values are what we are planning:

• Arrows: Damage 74 (content level 14)
• Bullets: Damage 196 (content level 14)
• Bolt: Damage 93 (content level 20)

Also, once again I would like to repeat something that was mentioned prior by Producer Matsui, but after a certain amount of time has passed with this content and when harder content is implemented, we will be making adjustments so that it is easier to play. Additionally we will be implementing a variety of content with the same content level.

Any word on throwing ammo? Shuriken used to be the most powerful damage. It would be nice to see some new ones added with delve level dps. Just make sure it isn't as expensive or rare as its predecessors were.

/sarcasm no more than 1000 plasm per shuriken.

Maybe it will have like Acc+50 or something wacky. The X-bow does come from Delve boss, so it is possible.

It's simple, really. Non-consumable ammo would really hurt the game's economy, and completely screw over crafters. That said, putting those bullets/bolts/arrows in delve will kind of screw over crafters anyway, until crafters get access to a craftable, competitive alternative.

I'm sorry but anyone who still harps on "virtual economy" after the complete slap in the face of adoulin gear/weapons needs to be drug into the street, beaten and shot.

The ENTIRE economy is SOLELY based around food, and airlixirs. (and to a lesser extent, pops for delve field nms).
