INV abilities?

[Zaiaku]

Is there any reason why Remote Max was remove from adrenaline capabilities? This is alot more useful then so say Double Enhancement. Actually I can see how double enhancement is really even worth it. Triple damage would do more damage anyway.

I'd also like to have the remote max ability.

Double magic is useful for at least two reasons:

• magic types like vorpal and piercing which can't be used with triple (e.g. the legendary vorpal + 22 and I also use DM with a piercing mp5 + 11 = piercing +22)
• keeping adren up in circumstances when a triple depletes adren too fast (e.g. high monster level) yet using neither would waste any excess unused adren. I normally use this combination with a globe and an energy weapon though I've also used it with vorpal +22 and piercing +22.

It allowed AMs to max peoples weapons remotely. You didn't have to give your weapon to them, you just had to be holding it and be near them. I believe they could only raise it by one point at a time though, but it was handy if you only needed one point and/or they had perhaps already +1ed their own weapon of that type.

It's also handy because you don't risk random people coming across your weapon transfer, and you don't have to worry about wasting your draining weapon when an am may simply remote max that thing :D

Oh I See, Sounds Like A Useful Ability, I Didn't Even Know There Was One :ssmile:

This would save me a lot of headache in theory but i have a feeling if this skill was implemented that everyone would be crying for an AM to max their guns. As it is now most ppl don't mind using a petr +4 instead of +6 because its a bit of trouble to have it maxed. If remote max worked then everyone would assume that an AM would max their guns.AMs wouldn't be able to use their adren for themselves. I already have people saying I'm a jerk on wave 15 when i don't demax and let them copy my energy weps (even though I asked if anyone needed copies 2 waves ago). I just don't want to have to tell every WM in the game to get bent on wave 12-15 because I'm trying to globe and i cant spare the adren.

That is the unspoken rule man. The new players have not figured that out yet. I won't take most requests after wave 8 or 9 depending on the map.

I totally agree. If I'm on overloaded adren map, I may max+1 my weapons as early as wave 4. With loads of adren it's easy to -1 and +1 it again, even later in the game.

However if someone whines about needing another copy of something (which I've already provided several times) then I ignore them. If you're an AM, you should have recall 3 by that time and if you're a careless WM, stop dying on wave 6 and wanting another energy flak next wave! When I play my AM, I do my best to accommodate the regulars when possible.

BubbleJon, rest assured that you're not a jerk if you can't do everything for everyone. I don't care what someone's level is, no one should be asking an AM to max something or make inf links for them during the later waves.

Regardless of the request, I honor them when I can and if I can't, it's simple: "I don't have enough adren" or "Sorry, I've already max+1'd that gun." Usually they understand and if not, I continue to shoot monsters and get XP while they complain to the chat console.

Finally, whenever someone tosses and recovers a weapon, they lose a lot of the ammo which came with it. That's a reason in itself why I don't like having to copy energy link guns in wave 15 or especially 16. With max ammo bonus, I think it takes at least all of wave 15 to regenerate it to max, if not at least 2 waves.

Yeah there would be an increase in people asking for max but they already do that as it is now. Also there no difference in that then Medics being ask to heal all the time. Remote max would just be alot faster to be able to do.
