The Energon Pub

I am in the process of making a limit to how many weapons you can own. The number will be 24.

If you have more than 24 weapons in your inventory I suggest you sell them AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

Once I roll this out, if you own more than 24 weapons they will be removed starting with the cheapest ones you own.

For example:
If you own 24 battle blades and 12 X-rays the 12 X-rays will disappear.

You will not receive an energon reimbursement for the loss so act accordingly.

This will be in place by Saturday.

Talk about getting some bad news. I just spent most of my energon on weapons, trying to figure out which to use and stuff. :sad:

Dosnt bother me i nthe slightest, never seen the point of hoarding anyway.

To be straight, do you mean 24 weapons total (including the ones equipped) or just 24 weapons in your inventory (so we could have 12 weapons equipped plus 24 extra)?

Im 99% sure he ment total.

There is NO reason at all that you would need 3 weapons per charecter. Only reason you'd need two is if you bought a different weapon in anticipation of a new stat or if you were experimenting.

24 total.

Wow, things are truly going fast now.

I'm currently experimenting with weapons. Even then, I'm still under the lower weapon amount. Just wanted to know for my own reference how bloated I could allow my inventory to get or whether I would need to start selling back weapons if I wanted to try out many more.

Oh, and thanks for the quick answer, OS. Now, about our prize alts...

I like the 24 total idea. Give you one backup for each bot and that is it. Makes you choose more wisely in your weapon decisions.

If you see at the BBs damage range, you can see that you should sell all of them. :lol:

Doesn't affect me, usually the weapons I own are in use.

why do u think i sold them :lol:

by **Shadow Dragon** » Wed Dec 05, 2007 3:45 pm

Yeah, only reason I have spares is the whole testing thing, prior to the changes I never kept more weapons than I could use.

Stripped my stock down to 18 weapons, no BBs.

But (and this probably should have been mentioned sooner) caveat emptor to those that are changing over their stock like I just have, just in case Mkall and AS decide to go further with balancing the weapons.

Excellent.

Best thing about this weapons cap?

It'll be hard to run out of good weapons. Unless OS reduce the numbers in stock of course!

News Credits: 5 · by **Omega Sentinel** » Thu Dec 06, 2007 2:09 pm

Cap is now in place on the weapons store. If you attempt to buy any more than 24 weapons you will now recieve this error:

You have 24 or more weapons. Sell weapons to make room in your inventory.

Cool. Cheers OS.

News Credits: 226 · by **Burn** » Fri Dec 07, 2007 8:03 am

Scroll ... click ... scroll ... click.

It's a vicious cycle. Starting to think I should have just let OS rip my weapons stash out. Not like I need the energon.

But nooo i'm sitting here clicking one at a time.

You know what would be nifty? Tick boxes on the buy/sell page.

You know what else would be nifty? A drop down box to select individual characters and once selected only the weapons that character can equip will be displayed for purchase.

Because some of us forget which bots have which stats.

by **Violater** » Fri Dec 07, 2007 8:14 am

Yes, and why not immediatly let a computerised butler roll out that will pick out the best weapons for us while we wait.

by **Killjoy** » Fri Dec 07, 2007 12:06 pm

Hey OS,

Maybe a small little addition to this should be that you can't have any more of the weapon than the total number of bots on the team?

IE, if you have a team of 10 bots, you can't have more than 10 of that weapon.

That would just plain be annoying! That and you could possibly loose your previous weapon when realizing the new one you bought totally sucks and can't buy it back cuz some one else bought it!

If you have 10 bots and buy 10 Black Magics to replace your 10 Battle Blades then how would you lose any? And why would you need 12 Black Magics if you only had 10 bots? Besides, the cap at 24 should drastically cut the hoarding and have more weapons available most of the time.
