Upgrade for more Damage
Billy Da' Kid Mar 17, 2012

Yea let's do it so it costs two million dollars to uprade each weapon. That won't prove a problem when you have a couple thousand guns. No. If you don't like it go play COD

Na, it will only be 1 upgrade per gun that will increase the damage by like 3 or 4

And with no upkeep, I could have an attack equivalent to that of Tommy Guns for the upkeep of a Lapua.

U can upgrade 1000 guns for about 1M$.

I like the idea of weapon upgrades. I think it should cost a decent amount of money per weapon...maybe 30-40% of the original cost of the weapon to upgrade. Also increase the upkeep of upgraded weapon to may be the same %.

This might give a bit more to fights other than who has the bigger mob. I feel if this was implemented people will have couple of options: 1) Mob up more and equip with first level weapons, 2) dont mob up as much but equip second level weapons or 3) Mob up more and equip second level weapons.

There are pros and cons for each option and will give dynamics to fight match ups. For example a person that is currently using option 1 vs a person that is using option 2. There maybe instances where people have a mix of two or more of the options, which will bring even more dynamic to the fights. The balance is that for more power/defense, you have to pay a much higher upkeep and not to mention that upfront upgrade costs and the cost of actually buying the weapons armor

👆 everyone would buy the upgrade so no diff would be made. Nice idea, serves no purpose.
Your idea about it being another option other than punching is stupid.

It would however force players to buy more turf to support the same size mob, so it is an excellent idea for the Devs.

I think it bring bore of a variation for smaller players that aren't too big and/or those that don't much money. These type of people may not be able to afford the upkeep with the number of turf they have so they may have to mix and match with options I stated earlier.
I don't think it's a stupid idea other than punching. I completely understand that punching is the all important way of getting stronger. But there are many players that do not have as much time to punch as others. These options is anything but stupid...it may need more though though.

No, it would defeat the purpose of mob.

I disagree...as I said, ultimately it will still come down to whose got the bigger mob. If I have say 20k mob and I am fighting a person with say , 10k mobs, it won't make much of a difference to how you equip your mob. This will add another degree of randomness primarily for those fights where the mob size are similar. Say I have 7k mobs and I have all lvl 1 weapons and armor and I go against a person with 6-6.5k mob who has mostly lvl 1 upgrades but also has say 10-20% level 2 weapons and armor. In this situation the way your mob is equipped will be an element of surprise.
This simply adds another element to the mix to make things more interesting. It will still keep mobbing up quite important. You weapons will still be useless if you do not have enough mob members to equip them to.

It would be nice but then the players with the most money would instantly have an advantage compared to those who are equal to them with weapons but with less money

As I said at the extreme, it won't make much of a difference. It brings in a bit of randomness to fights between small/new/not-as-rich players. The people that are at the extremees are already so powerful, that it won't change anything. The will still be too strong.
Maybe we can make the cost of upgrade reflective of the number of turfs you own and/ur mobsize. This is what happens with the price of planting a turf to a degree. Your level and influence are among the factors that decide how much it will cost to plant a turf. Maybe similar protocols could be put into place for weapon upgrade costs.
