fix for BBI Faithful's LONNNNGGGGGG overdue!!!!!

[Healios]

The problem with BBI Faithfuls has been know for months yet nothing has been done.

Now they are not even available in shops.

Even with their problem with melee init they are still one of the best weapons available to an adventurer and were about the only one available in shops.

With the BBI Faithful is currently not available in shops and the Weapon using Melee init, instead of Ranged Init, (and also parriable) what are Adventurers to do?????

Right now, I don't have any options for upgrading my Pistols, and BBI's I have are doing decent damage.

I mean why did funcom give us Ballad of Smoke and Strength of Hummingbird and not put any decent pistols in the game. This is ridiculous!!!!

If anyone has any decent adventurer pistols available in the 110-120 QL range please /tell Gaspard.

dont expect too much help from FC, after all support beams are the most used weapons for enfs but they cant be found in shops either.

amen

What I don't get is...how hard can it possibly be to change the weapon over from melee init to ranged?


So many adv would be happy with such a simple fix.

[Healios]

Cosmik stated on the Adv board that this would be fixed in 14.4.

That's why I asked. I think beams SHOULD be sold in shops, but at least they are not boss loot, which is what all of our pistols were except the BBI, err, until they took it out.

Should not be to hard, since they have practice. MA had melee init for the MA attacks, instead of physical init. They changed that back as I understand.

BUMP
come on please, I really don't care how long mission keys take to vanish, fix the dammed BBI's
jezuz talk about prioritys?

[___________Lunchmeat]

My character is a level 85 on rubi-ka 1. I've been keeping my ranged init maxed every level, it's around 430... something. Spent all my irp points before i found out that the guns were screwed up. My question is how much faster would the bbi's i have be? I just think it's damn retarded to leave such a major bug, that lets mobs PARRY a BULLET, in the game. Especially since they've known about it for months. I don't know anything about what goes into the coding for a game like AO, but if it's like games that i've tested for...IT'S A FEW KEYSTROKES THEN UPLOAD TO THE SERVER!! If they end up simply removing the bbi faithfuls, I'm just going to cancel and wait for SWG, Neocron, or AC 2.

I answered this in the Community Corner a while back (in this thread). They're still scheduled for 14.6, along with a lot of other weapons.

[XtroXtreme]

I might have missed this but, I don´t think it was answered if the BBI will be avilable in shops.

[Cz]

I'll check on the shop availability of the BBI Faithfuls.

[______________Scorus]

Check on lead pipes while you are at it. Searched many, many shops on several occassions recently and didn't find a single lead pipe of any ql.

[Healios]

hey thanks!! I appreciate your follow up and the overall positive response I usually see from Funcom.

[jakesnake5]

They are purchasable by Traders, in the Specialty Commerce stores. If you need one, find a lvl25+ Trader and ask him/her to help you get.

[XtroXtreme]

Just bloody stupid placing those guns that adv need in a shop they can´t access. How are adv to know that or even window shopping (checking skill req etc) in a shop they don´t have access to.
And then on top of that you need to run down a trader to buy your gun in an unknown location (to get right QL).

Question: Do anyone at FC actualy try out this game?

[jakesnake5]

I'm not sure of the logic either. There's also an Agent only gun in that store too.

Go figure.

p.s. If you want that 22, find out if I'm on, I will help.

[Geriatric]

I don't think they’re even in those shops anymore. I have been able to turn a mission or 2 up that has them as the end loot or as the stolen item that needs to be found within the mission. The problem is that I can’t get one at the QL that I can use. My adv is lvl 81 and can hold one at about a QL110. I can't even do a mission at that high, or . I get killed every time.

So the only way to get it is to get a team together, which is something that makes no sense, since the adv is supposed to be able to survive on his/her own.

“Hi, I’m a solo adv looking for a team so I can get me a new gun”

I’m so happy these guns are in the game now, and that they are being fixed. But please make them somewhat available.

[jakesnake5]

As I said, if your hunting for those guns, contact HeavyPacker on live. I will hit the shops for you and find what you want.

BBI's are not available in the Specialist Commerce shops. They've been removed from the game. That's my estimate since I haven't found them in the Trader shops or in missions as drops or rewards.

FCDude#1:"So, BBI's are using the wrong initiative. Has this harmed Adventurers?"
FCDude#2:"Not really. The guns do great damage and are still only available as mission rewards or in the specialist commerce for Traders."
FCDude#1:"Can we fix them?"
FCDude#2:"Yes. A fix is easy and could implemented next patch."
FCDude#1:"Hmm. That's too good."
FCDude#2:"OK."
FCDude#1:"Tell you what - Take the guns out, delay the fix until after my 6 month vacation, fire some more developers and other needed employees so that we can legitimize the delays, then call my wife and tell her to bring home milk and bread."
FCDude#2:"Yes sir!"
FCDude#1:"Oh, and then fire yourself."
FCDude#2:"Right away sir!"
