Artifact Denial

Simple - Only Loeaded Weapon or Loaded Medic have access to it.

Not necessary for the Medic class, they really don't have anything worth dropping except the medic weapon maker charm and it is non'droppable anyway.

Will ya all be too bumbed if I vote this one down?

I think that Adrenaline Masters probably shouldn't spew their artifacts when they die, and I might do something about that before this code is released.

The reason that AM players can keep their weapons is that they have to spend so much time making them. If they respawn late in the game without them... ouch!

If a LW person shows up late in the game without a triple dam they can still play.

No - it's your perogative and personally I wasn't sure how I felt about this concept, which is why the normally verbal me wasn't so verbal on this thread.

As rarely as I see a Triple these days, I still think the pinata effect needs adjustment. However, I'd also ask that you might consider tweaking ever so slightly the chances of a monster popping something (and possibly upping the chance of a Triple coming out). Level it out a little - a monster doesn't need to pop multiple objects, but you could have more monsters popping out something ...

Though the above comment is more in regards to "how things stand now" - I'd have to see how things are once 190 is released and the changes to Flak, RL, and the addition of the damage bonus skill work out, to see if WM players still need the triple that much.

Well, that depends on late - I tend to have issues when I pop in after wave 12. But that's probably just cause I'm not warmed up, and partially because I have trouble with those waves sometimes anyway. But yes - I see your point and though my response has been "AM's keep all and I can't? Phooey!" that's more of a "Not fair cause I don't get it" rather than a "Not fair cause it's imbalanced", I guess I agree (though it probably doesn't matter that I do

).

I agree that LW players were probably just saying it because they didn't have some special "I keep my stuff" skill.

I just thought I'd toss this idea up and see what happened.
