Remove Opifex breed?

[______________NoHope]

Hey FC

When are U going to remove Opifex breed?

I ask since U never give us any cool items or armor.

We dont have any:

Prof. Jones Vest
Shades of Luc.
Enhanced Agg. Modifier
Brawl Circuit
Cyborg implants

When do Opifex get any cool items / armor?

Best Opifex item I have, is a headwear that adds 48 to map-nav and perception.

And yeah, I am a MA too, so nowadays, I have to say that AO kinda get more and more boring.

[phelsior]

Although I dont find AO boring, I do feel that Opifex are in many ways forgotten and neglected.

I all comparisons, its always Atrox and Nanomage vs Solitus. Atrox now has more HP, Nanobreed have more nanopool. What does Opifex get? We get the highest stat (Agility) in game. But does it help us? Not really. You all know the trinkle down is so little, those few points dont matter much.

And the items for Opifex only are so few its funny. And all of them give mods to Map navigation etc. for some reason.

We are supposed to be so terribly agile, why not give us some real bonuses to agility and/or the skills it affects. More bonus to evade skills, runspeed and initiatives are good examples.

I feel Opifex is a nice breed with not very good advantages, compared to the low Body Dev and HP we get. And our Nanopool isnt any great either.

Opifexes also get the cheapest total ability cost of all breeds. Meaning you have more IP for other skills. I'd say this is a large advantage.

Well Opifex do have:

BBI Ranged Restraint Carbine (Joith gun)
Flaxen Notum Pants
Golden Pilot Helmet
Modified A-4000 Sensory Panel
Poetic Sleeves
Supporting Carbonan Holster
Talented Hood

looks like you have a few cool things to me. More than a Solitus at least.

[delsabre]

The reason Opifex doesn't get much new stuff is because you're good as it is, no tweaks needed
Base skill wise Opifex has the highest total, and in theory breed caps most combat related skills much higher than other breeds, not least in the evades department.

[______________NoHope]

BBI Ranged Restraint Carbine (Joith gun)
Heard this was fixed in patch, have to check my ql 15 or something.

Flaxen Notum Pants
These are cool, have you seen any yet?

Golden Pilot Helmet
Wow, adding to Map.Nav, just what I need

Modified A-4000 Sensory Panel
Adding to mapnav and perception.

Poetic Sleeves
Adding 8 to adventuring and 10 to vehicle water. Make this solitus only by all mean.

Supporting Carbonan Holster
This is a joke.

Talented Hood
Yup, you all guessed right, adding to map-nav and perception.

(Have to find out why Opifex need map-nav and perception so much)


Like I said:
Give Opifex breed some cool armor or other items.
And please fix those visual errors, like my neck is half cut off wearing coats or my dodga pads that is totally misplaced.

[frakk2k]

Yeah, make some opi armor with bonus to size on em (smaller) would make us hard to spot when running around.

Actually, I don't give a crap about more tweak items, some items for looks would do the trick. Some special bracers? New armor, perhaps not the best ingame, but something with a diffrent look. Or perhaps some social armor, with opi reqs?

And make some opi only shades. Keelars looks cool, just not on opis..

[____________Fakonamo]

My point was that Opi do have items, and more than some other breeds so quit whinning.

Bah! We don't need that crap! Leave the breed specific armor for the gimps who need it.

[________________Cado]

Opifex as a race is actually well balanced as I see it.

-They are a great choice for both Agents and MA's, they even make fair Adventurers.
-They have a few Race specific items, just like all the other races, which you can always discuss on their usbility.
-Did you say Agility based Implants ?

[______________Jerrak]

I dunno if anyone said this, but opifex do get something nice. The only dark blue ability is stamina, albiet its a key ability, but having light blue str intel and psychic, dark blue stamina, and green sense/agility make for a pretty good casting class.

[delsabre]

This might seem like an irrelevant post and it probably is (Just to clearify that Opi's doesn't need more ability enhancing items

Opifex may have darkblue stamina, but they breedcaps stamina at 480, just like solitus, only weak spot being Psychic. A rather nice trade for having 64 points more agility than solitus if you ask me.

Solitus breed caps:
Str: 472
Agi: 480
Sta: 480
Int: 480
Sen: 480
Psy: 480

Opifex breed caps:
Str: 464 (-8)
Agi: 544 (+64)
Sta: 480 (0)
Int: 464 (-16)
Sen: 512 (+32)
Psy: 448 (-32)

Opifex are SO damn cool looking. DO NOT REMOVE PLZOKTHX.

[locomdenom]

Opis don't get anything because we're fine the way we are, thank you.

[____________mgbkurtz]

i want opifex stuff!!

i've been thinking this for a long time.
the only viable MA suit for opi is Red one (ever see an agent wearing anything but red)
carb armor? forget it
most special stuff has stamina on it...sucks

whatever, i'm so tired..

[locomdenom]

Yeh, but most common implants have agi requirements, which means we can usually get better implants on a little earlier.

In the high end, stamina cap for us is no worse than soli, so complaining about sta reqs is prolly not gonna get us any pity.

[Gene13]

I agree with the man with the nails, we're fine as is. And handsome SoBs I'd like to add.
Don't go ****ing us up.

They removed the Opi-req from the Joith.

Carbonum sure isn't un-doable for an Opi. Since my skills capped at 162ish(or whenever it was), all I need to equip my ql200 Carbonum/Albrecht is Behemoth, General buffs, 2X Concrete Cushions, and IC from a doc.

Personally, I think we're right in the middle. We could use more HP, we could use more nano pool.........which tells me we're pretty balanced imho. We're not hurting for HP as much as Nano, we're not as gimped with nano pool as Atrox, and Soli........well, I think our Evades are a bit higher, and we're better with Multi.

Of the Opi-only stuff previously listed, the only useful thing is the Holster, imho. I have one, gonna twink it on when I IPR to 2hE for the Queen Blade, I think

[_____________Nalissa]

The truth is Opifex are absolutely fine as a breed.

But that is relevant only if you look at breed-related items as being 'balancing items'.

Atrox's do not need balancing anymore. They were always a #1 PvP choice anyway as HP is god (although not so much anymore). And the extra HP from patch didn't hurt in the least. Nanomages needed a little something and they got it in the form of more Nano pool (although that may not be enough). Solitus is right down the middle so nothing to complain about. And Opi has always been fine.

But we are not speaking of breed comparisons. We are speaking of breed-specific items.

If someone is prepared to please post a list of all items available to each of the four breeds. I believe that Opi will come in last, with Solitus second last. Personally i have a major character in each breed catagory so it doesn't matter much to me, but i do believe opi-only items are pretty soft.

[_______________Nikki]

well, I play mostly opi, actually, I'd say all of my "main" chars are opi. I've discussed this with several friends of mine, and we've all sort of reached the conclusion that opi are too good.

In fact, I can't really think of a reason why opi psychic is light blue. it's not -really- needed by most of the most suited professions for the breed. my guess is that the idea was if psy and sta were both dark blue, the breed would have both "pools" limited.

I'm 100000000000% happy with the way that things are in relation to breed-specific items available. more would be nice, but I wouldn't say it's needed.
