hmm, now that is an interesting thing to try out. when first gaining levels on this server, i thought the turbo laser was cool as heck..because it shot so fast and has such a pretty golden beam ^,,^ so any time i happened to pick up a shock wop, i would crave for that pu, which wasn't hard to get.
it did fairly well too!

would you believe that noone taught me about the golden wrench until i was around level 160? seriously, i thought it was a skill limited to people level 200 or over, until someone said in game one day they couldn't wait to get 150 points in the 3 stats to get it. that very instant i started saving all stat points to get it! it took awhile back then too..you couldn't refund anything since joey didn;t code it in yet and getting good experience without weapons you could wop and hoping for right pus was not easy. the moment i got gold wrench is when i started leading in kills and all!

ok, back to turbo laser talk. it would be as good as laser rifle in high damage pu and rage and with triple or double damage going..but...it seems the turbo laser is the most affected by enemies that have shields and shiny reflection on them. you may have noticed how the gold and silvered enemies and shield titans and queens with shields up reflect the beam so easily? that would pose quite the problem, and would require better enemy selection to make the best use of it. of course, enemies that you can't vamp from will die well from turbo laser, though some with the new +3 reflection on them like lucis and devils and such will take a bit longer to kill. as for army guys..yes, they should go down rather well from turbo laser of higher power and especially with damage artifact use. maybe nearly as quick as with a wand.

mine layers are still weak at full damage, and using them can be a little tricky, and yes, a small map is needed. warzone is a great map for minelayers. its also great for bio rifle with spread and lots of damage and superforce on it. i outscored/outkilled superweps on that map last month with a biorifle test since i got one of rejuv and wanted to do something different. i had on it +10 damage, 5 rages, 3 heals, superforce, knockback, around +10 energy, infs, pro5, ss, vamp...the works essentially. i grabbed the dds in the corners as i could and also scored a triple damage. it was a magnificent test! anyways, minelayers can be shot like a gun if you put superforce on them, but it makes using their homing abilities hard because if you hit a wall with them, they self-destruct.

mp5 took a reduction in base damage since last update, which you may have noticed or not. i haven't used one in later waves since i vie for something at least with splash damage for dealing with waves 17 and 19. my guess is that it will do very well with triple damage on the last wave. i do remember a map you and i played on before the update. it was churchclassic. i used mp5 the whole map, except waves 17 and 19, where i switched to the super shock regular, since mp5 killing soldiers is only doable with a superforced/force5 mp5 alt fire in ground splash damage fashion. i snagged a double damage artifact to use last wave. you had an enhanced ssr probably around wave 10 or 11..and in the end i still came out a little ahead. that was the mp5 i knew and loved, rawr! ^o^

anyways, since i have been enjoying the days after work outside since the weather is awesome, i haven't been on. i spend my early nights doing things for my family, or chatting to friends of mine online. maybe one of these rainy days, i'll play for 8 hours a day like i used to, and try some things. as for the 1-3 maps i do play lately per day, i am just going for maximum killing as i am able :}

Ty for the info, the first time I played this server was the first time I Played any of this rpg stuff, I had no idea about what I could buy or not buy too. I also assumed that the kits where high level benefits, I don't remember exactly when I figured out I could buy the gold kit, likely somewhere around your level too. I remember, being desparate and without gold, asking for any wop one time and only ariel_swe responded, ever since then I usually give all my good stuff to ariel. Speaking of high level benefits..What would be nice however would be if the magic weapon maker was a high level benefit seeing as there pratically aren't any, practically being the key word( that wand...? ya right...) That little thing is a blessing sometimes.

Ya you beat me alot pre-update with that mp5, I don't remember that church map specifically though, but I do remember that early mario map you posted here, I was soo young then.... hmm I never took full advantage of the mp5 before so it's hard for me to tell the difference but I did notice the sound was off and assumed it it had a slower rate of fire or something.
And about my bad scores which happen very frequently.... sometimes I play beyond my limits and begin to slow down and such, that shouldn't be the case anymore though!! so expect some good challenges, actually when you or money are around I don't expect to win, that doesn't really matter to me, what matters is that I make you guys work your asses off to get the top score. That's why I usually playfully taunt money, to get him all riled up, fun stuff, oh well duty calls! (jury duty today....)

oooh, jury duty :o good luck on that, caddy!

actually..that magic weapon maker buyable artifact i think would make a great buyable artifact. its not always beneficial, disappears after 1-3 uses, and can at least help as being like a wrench to make something wop with a chance. i can't tell you how many times i summon a wand, ak, enhanced ssr and it is just a regular one or +1. not that very high slots are needed, but i often times want a couple more slots and can't do anything about it. i also don't trust suiciding often to use purple wrench, sometimes weapons are lost for unknown reasons from that, so i only suicide if i want gold wrench back...and each time i do that i sit on edge until i return and hope my stuff stayed!
