[Respect Points] Use them or not?

[Vile Lynn]

We keep getting Respect Points (RP's), but we have no use for them?

[abnugget]

Only spend RPs for Uzis anymore. This was a smart move by Gree in my opinion. But not worth it for anything else that can be purchased with them

[Evan1000]

Far from true, there are plenty of decent stat items in the store you can buy in mass quantities and, with your modifiers, can equate to some great stat boosts! I've gotten a few mil out of this.

And before someone can say a few mil is nothing, so is a few mil respect points sitting in your inventory ;)

Save about a mil though for Uzi's, don't wanna blow it all

There are plenty of good weapons to be bought unfortunately they cost a lot of respect points. But many are as good as the 99.99 syndicate bundle packs people are buying up the (syndicate portion). A lot cheaper then 99 bucks to. If you are over level 201 FIGHT and ROB earn those respect points. Plus it seems Gree has axed the bundle packs was only a matter on time before they caught on.

[abnugget]

Evan- what items would you suggest buying?

I guess I personally value RB prizes recently for the lame Kingpin Power prizes. And making sure I can get the individual prize mod.

In a continued effort to not level up RPs don't come as often for some. Only through syndicate prizes do I get majority of mine. Yes a few million attack is great but 485k rp gun for 46k attack? Or 150k rp melee for 17.5k attack? 420k rp for 44k attack? Every bit helps so yeah getting a quick million is great if you are sitting on a few million RP but otherwise not worth it In my opinion.

Well, back in the good old days, these were a great buy

But now I just own a couple of each one, it would depend on your modifiers which item would help your stats best and what would be the best buy

For instance, my explosive attack is the highest at +344%.

A 40k stat item did over a 300k attack increase in my stats. So not worthless or a waste of time :p

That increase counts for nothing. Accomplices are the only thing that genuinely matters now.

Not necessarily, people play the game how they like, and I play to build my stats. I couldn't care less about accomplices.

Of course, I need them in order for my stats to grow now, but I would never spend gold for them

[Sleazy_P_Martini]

let us not forget the original bad boy. The doomsday frag. A hacker's true calling card. A sure fire way to spot hackers back in the day. But then the Raid boss event started and rpinflation took over. Forgot how much they originally cost. 1k rp?

Doomsday cost 30k.

[Vile Lynn]

wow, you spent 4M+ RP on those?

[Thugporn]

Stop using rp after 3 of my 250k rp napalm drops dissapeared.

You should have sent in a ticket.

[Sleazy_P_Martini]

I don't want to talk about it.

[Vile Lynn]

lol, understood. At least you still have 5+M RP saved.

[Weasel]

I'd save RP for uzis. One RB event awards enough respect points to afford the uzis you'll need for the next RB event, so that means you can easily meet the minimum uzi donation asked by many syndicates without having to "earn" all that XP getting uzis from map jobs.

Sure, you could buy equipment/items, but then you have to do things like spend time playing the game and earning XP to get uzis. And the return on 200K-300K RP is a lot more from Raid Boss than it is from store equipment.

If you're doing 2000+ fights in battles and are earning a lot more RP than what is awarded from Raid Boss, then maybe you could consider store items. Chances are though, if you are in that league of spending, the store items, RP or otherwise, won't really do very much for you.

[Evan1000]

And yet, whenever I used to propose the "individual war prizes suck please change them" idea, everyone cared about their "raw attack". The stats on the store items are better than that of the individual war prizes, and now, better than the T250 and under syndicate prizes

[Vile Lynn]

Oh yeah... I haven't looked at the store in months... just bought some 40ishK stat bombs for 420K RP's which are new to me in the store.

Evan,
You are on the right track.
One of each item would essentially help you two-fold. As you mentioned earlier, based on your mods, they will boost your overall stats. On the other hand, your raw attack gets boosted also.

[My2cents]

I get enough Uzis from game play. I don't want to use my respect on weapons because stat inflation means something better will come along. 10M respect and going up.

[Oh_TheHorror]

I have 7.2 million respect points. I really only spend them on Uzis during RB, too. I'm hoping GREE releases something unique that can only be bought with RP. Otherwise, I will continue to let them build.

[Joe_V]

That increase counts for nothing. Accomplices are the only thing that genuinely matters now.

Get with the program, accomplices are being retired now.
