Launchers

I was reading the details of these and its says to improve your chances at launching viral attacks, yet I see no concentration bonuses. I think there should be maybe some concentration bonus added to these, since giving them viral accuracy isn't really helping you 'launch' a hack, its helping it hit. Yes? No?

Edit: It also might actually make players use them more too at lvl50.

why do you have a female launcher?

Yeah, I agree. Also, I would love to see a launcher as a hacker's holy grail item.

actually it does have 1% viral accuracy bonus, which would provide a better chance of "successfully launching a virus", however there are quite a few other items out there in the form of glasses, not launchers, that provide quite a bit more accuracy, as well as damage, along with resistances.

I agree with ShiZinFeng though, I'd love to see a new launcher come out, somethign that is semi-difficult to get, that would provide quite a boost to viral hackers in terms of accuracy and/or damage bonuses.

Yeah, but when I think "Accuracy" that means to actually hit with a hack, adding concentration bonus would make the "successfully launching a virus" part in its details more true seeing how it would help your hacks from being interupted from outside fire. And that launcher's detail I took a screenshot of it only like lvl15. There's some differences from the male and female versions:

Level 15 Launchers

Level 25 Launchers

Level 30 Launchers

Level 40 Launchers

Level 45 Launchers

I honestly don't understand why these buffs are likes these, especially the lvl45 ones where the female version still gives the viral accuracy with more resistance the the male version is stuck using the lvl40 pair if they're hacker. I'd like to see a revamp or maybe a lvl50 version launcher with better buffs sometime, if not soon.

I'm gonna agree with Gerik, specialised equipment in the form of a launcher for Hackers is a nice idea for a lvl 50 item that takes something to actually get. Perhaps even something in addition to decent hacker attributes like a green glow or a green 'red eye effect' from the reticule. Something which differentiates it from other lower level launchers and perhaps making it more desirable to Hackers.

I'm gonna suggest that a mod put this in the development roundtable for greater exposure.

another toy box set specialised for hackers would be good
