Yup, much better. Like it.

Haven't a clue. We had two who couldn't but the rest could. We put about 9 through tonight. (Dragon Snacks-Empire-TJJT). It was great fun, but somewhat frustrating at times.

It is so not. Join a guild, make new friends and learn about those other pixels on your server. You'll be happier for it.

It seems the nature of the upgrade system. The mods are going to be the highest demands. I fear armstech is going to be a misnomer, and really should have been called "barrel-maker."

The op is so angry he forgot letters in his post. Now that is mad, man.

And I want to thank the op for bringing this up. It looks like you need to trust the comparative tooltip at the bottom more than the stats at the top.

OP, your head may be exploding, but take a second to notice something in the pictures you posted. Do you notice that the comparison is not showing that you will gain or losing armor rating (like it does the other stats in the first pic) by equipping the item? I believe the problem is that the tooltip isn't updating the true armor rating of the unequipped piece, even though the comparison tooltip (and the game) is recognizing them as equal armor rating.
