MR locked Supra Vandal

[Tarcolt]

Kinda sucks that it's MR restricted, given that it's only available for a few days. Would be nice if I could buy it, and not use it till rank 14.

I keep getting the feeling this game doesn't like new players much.

[Heatnixx]

It really doesn't. It's very focused towards old players and whales.
I'm so sorry

[Tarcolt]

I suppose I can only really be dissapointed. It just sucks saving up, seeing something shiny, but being told "not for you".

Worst thing is, if I knew I needed rank 14, I probably could have gotten it (or gotten very close.)

just imagine a mr1 using a supra vandal and having op stuff just becuz u don't like mastery but after you get mastery 16 everythings unlocked so enjoy

I don't know why they increased the MR requirements. Years ago the highest a weapon needed was MR8 I believe, then they bumped it up across the board even for existing weapons.

I've never seen a supra vandal until now. Why would it be so bad an MR1 having that as a weapon though? Would it make that much of a difference, given that they probably don't have the mods to make it close to decent?

Honestly, I like the MR system. Gives me something to work towards. But when that something is unatainable within the window it's available... That kinda sucks.

I actually don't care what people use or do, it's PvE and I don't feel any sense of superiority over having time-gated content.

Matter of fact all that does is annoy me because I can barely get any friends into the game, because the early game is so very dull and lifeless and all the cool stuff is locked behind an immeasurable amount of grinding.

I am an example of that myself, as I only started playing this game (back in 2015) after a friend bought me Chroma and some stuff I wanted to convince me to play. There was absolutely no way I'd force myself through content I didn't find attractive just so I could eventually get to where I wanted.

I've spent a couple thousand dollars in this game by now, and without some dude literally buying my way into it, DE would have never seen that money.

If they change weapons MR to be lower, everyone will go REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE because now new people will get better weapons in less time, and if they increase even 1 alone, people will go REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE again because now it takes more time!

Well, MR had no reasons to exist until DE decided to give it a 2nd look and make sure that good guns are locked behind it, adding reasons to level up your MR and giving some form of power progression.

IMO, its better that way.

DE increased MR requirements of a few weapons because new weapons were added at the same time as a compensation. It's also a way that DE balance the game, I suppose.

And, as someone stated above, being able to roam around with Supra Vandal as MR 1 or 2 can only reduce the game's lifespan. Even in real life you have to "grind" a bit before you marry with your significant other. I mean c'mon, this is Warfarm, my friend.

[CyberpunCthulhu]

Let me put it in this way. In the past we had fewer weapons. Like maybe 100 in total. If you could gain access to 10 weapons for each MR you got, you would have new weapons until MR 10. And this could be the point where people started dropping the game, because they thought they had mastered it.

Now with over 300 weapons, let's suppose that we get access to 15 new weapons for each MR we get. We won't stop getting access to new weapons until MR 20. We have access to more weapons for each MR and people will not likely drop the game until MR 20.

Longer game time means greater chance of players buying something in game with real money, and I don't see anything wrong here.

The primary problem isn’t that it’s MR locked.

It’s that being below a certain MR prevents getting an event weapon that won’t show up for a long ass time.

Save up some platinums and then buy from other players. Problem solved.

This game loves new players cuz they the ones that waste their money

Except that it seems you cannot sell it currently.
