Zion Hardware Requisition

Siepher

Question, what is the purpose of this item?

It adds Toughness, 10% for 1800 seconds, which is 10 pts. of resistance to Viral, Ballistic, Melee and Thrown, it has no visual effect, and I could probably find a lowlevel piece of clothing that gave more resistance than that.

I'd like for it to have a visual effect at least, maybe change the buffs a bit? As far as I remember, the item has been around since CR1, and there hasn't been done anything to it.

Opinions?

Can it not be used on top of your clothing resistance? If so, this gives an extra 10pts over someone with the same set of clothing but without the Hardware Req.

A subtle visual effect would be nice though, at least people will be able to see when it's being used.

Siepher

Yes, it can. I guess that's something at least..

I recieved it yesterday as a reward for giving the final shot to a Level 70 machine captain, and I were kinda disappointed about it, but oh well..

It's basically a bonus to resistance to all, as you said 10 points, which apply ontop of anything else you have on.

The item has been around since the beginning, but like many other things if you don't have one, your not likely to get one, since it can not be farmed etc. So you can have all your clothing and add more resistance from an item which uses no buffer space, I think most who don't have it, want it.

Maybe they could give it a visual effect, but unlikely, as its bonus on resistance is its big selling point.

I was thinking of a short activation visual effect, similar to iron body or something.

*rolls eyes* Just kidding just kidding!! SMILEY

Yeah, it would be nice to see an effect to it.

I have a ZHR and a glimmer of the source unfortunetly they cancel eachother out

Hm.. for some reason I thought Toughness was defense percent rather than resist points, is this not the case?

It's resistance points!

**-Mercidos-**

Also all of these abilities (ZHR, GOTS, MB) will allow you to go 10 points above max resist, FYI.

My question is why does EVERYTHING have to have an effect added to it??

It seems that those who don't have it care more about having these sort of things show up with effects, so THEY know you have it and can scream "OMG j00 cheated, j00 have ZHR, GOTS, MB"

The fact that we as veterens have VERY FEW items we can appreciate and be proud to have is bad enough without ruining it by adding effects to them.

For competitions and other player events, I admit an effect could be usefull. Though 10pts isn't much anyway.

QFT...In a game that doesn't respect it's veterans some things must stay as they are!And ZHR is one of them.
