If you are referring to the natures destroyer and the rons those are T4. the only T5 events gun is the Freddys and from my testing so far they seem to be more than good enough. no guns should be able to absolutely blow every other out of the water. higher tier should be preferred because they are slightly better than lower tier guns of the same class but they should not be op. This promotes more skill based play instead of relying on the weapon.

Well if your going to keep Freddys how they are, you better take it out of T5 and lower the price of it, cause so many people are gonna be disappointed when they wasted there time at events and got a 80 HS novelty toy, or you can clean it up some more and make it good like the price says, cause 80 HS is a lot to most players.

It will slowly become like era eventually  

I just don't get why gun prices suddenly jump with 20k gralats from tier 2 to tier 3 while they have close to no difference  

Is the holiday guns gonna be like 150k?

Aherm, era... costs like 100k to buy a minigun. Please, stop.

Gives ol' west more of a business.

Lol and in ol'west it costs 100k for a gun that previously was less than 15k. We didn't sell the minigun for 30k and then increase its price by 8x, so I don't see what your argument is.

And in terms of a business, as others stated nobody will want to spend 100k for a gun once they found out it used to be 15k. Especially when to be honest, wests gun graphics/animations are very lacking, so there is no "cool" factor a lot of people take into consideration when buying something. So your business infact will go down.

As someone else suggested the best course of action would have been to balance the guns already out, and then release the new, more expensive tier guns as newer guns, so that way nobody is disadvantaged.

It is too bad that this change was not made earlier in development.

Raising prices and having expensive guns does not kill the chances of getting new players at all tho.
If you remember era raised prices back when it started as well.

And yea era did change its prices, but they were nowhere near as significant as it was in west, and it was done very early on in development. The highest change was the m4/ famas price changed from 5k to 55k, and it was only on 1-2 guns, not every gun.

Also event coins and the items given out for winning event before there were coins is nowhere near as significant as wests changes once again, only a very, very small portion of people got the event items for winning singular events before the ec store, whereas since the prices in west for guns were fairly cheap, most older players probably have close to all of them  

Please just change the prices of the guns back to the way it was before and start making new guns more expensive...

Ok everybody gun prices have been updated to reflect their tiers. Low tier guns are still very cheap to allow new players to be able to compete till they are able to purchase the higher tier weapons. Guns that are high tier do cost more than they used to. We as the staff team believe this is the best way to move forward with gun pricing to help balance the economy and creates goals for players. Goals create sense of accomplishment and a reason to stay on the server for.
Below is a link to the spreadsheet with all of the new stats and prices.

If the higher tier guns cost more, then the higher level drops in jobs should be buffed especially woodcutting because its harder to level up than mining (its also one of the reasons why you don't see many woodcutters and why people quit woodcutting). I'm not trying to be selfish because im a woodcutter myself but at least make more trees or buff the prices or exp gain. Yes, its true that we can think of this as a goal, but not many people achieve this goal and majority of the time people quit before they accomplish a goal. Raising the gun's prices to a high amount is a great idea, but some prices in my opinion was a bit overkill like the carcano rifle, it should be in my opinion cost in the range of 75k-90k  

I agree on making more trees. I am lvl 81 and truth is the money I made by it isn't the greatest and taken much much longer to hit this lvl since lower trees give less exp. even Fossil wood only gives 90 while emerald gives 100 each. It was way way easier to hit lvl 88 in mining than It is for me going to 88 in wood cutting.

I would want more wood cutters to join the journey of hitting high levels. Look at the board and you can tell which job is easier.  

Ol west should have balanced the jobs first before raising the prices of the guns or atleast at the same time  

I always felt that the guns were too cheap on ol' west, it's still cheap considering it's really easy to make money on this server compared to era.  

Everyone did complain about gun stats being buffed and 100 hp for months. Now what u been begging for finally comes, but makes guns more expensive so you complain about that. This topic is just annoying. Most of you already have the guns before the price changed too.
