Upgrade System Initial Thoughts Feedback Thread

[JaytB]

I don't like this upgrade System, because it's the next Gamble thing ingame...

I'm no 'lucky' Player and i'm sure i need a lot of Gems and time/Plat for getting a Superior Bond......

I'm sure, at the beginning the Players love it and maybe spend some Plat for it and then they complain about their luck....

Sry but i'm really tired of all these luck systems ingame.....

I have to agree on the luck based part.

Maybe chances for a superior bond won't be super low though, at least I hope so.

I think if gems must be purchasable via plat you should be able to procure a GeM that will grant a definite top bond. I think crates give us enough of the "Pay plat for a chance for something great" effect. If not, they should be 100% farmable.

[Bluevaporz]

Yes, you will be able to socket 3 gems into a Leprechaun Pendant when the system goes live.

Hi Sam,

But would the stats of the socketed gems be at the lowest scale since the Leprechaun Pendant is only a lvl 1 item? Likewise with the mythic amulets, rings, and arcane maul? Would the gem stats on those items not match up to a lvl 36 item.

[Primeblades]

Epic idea but i think it would add more strategy to it if the gems didnt just increase stats but also maybe certain gems added bonuses to certain abilities like a green gem may increase how much the heal ability heals by 10 percent or something like that. This way you could stack gems and create an awesome strategy to make your character more unique and special! Also having gems have different abilities will create a higher and lower demand for different gems!

When you get gems, are they in levels? If I get essences combined in my l15 will the gem be 15? If so, will that work in upgrading l36 mythic weapons?

If i read correct, the Gems have absolute no Stats or levels. That means, it doesn't matter If u create your Gems with your Main Char or with any Twink.....
More Twinks = more Gems

I hope essenses can be acquired via quests, just to not meddle with the inventory

Like how we upgrade the mythic weapons, because if essenses are items that will consume inventory slots I can just imagine how we can loot multiple varieties of essenses and full our inventory...

Scenario:
Oh I just looted a fire essense 9 more to go wooot woot.... then I happen to loot an ice essense (yey? uhm 9 more to go also... fast forward

Uhm ok I got 6 fire essense, 7 ice essense, and 8 water essense... uhm do I delete these? (question to self) but I worked so hard for these and these are really hard to loot and I'm not using any plat yet huhuhu if only it can be traded or if only its a quest?

Note: This is just how I picture the future, let's also consider new players?

[Tenetra]

I want to ask if the upgrading system has any risk involved? because if an item is easily upgradable, it would make the upgrade system very mechanic.

e.g. If it cost 10k gold to upgrade a slot and the cost gradually increases depending on level and number of slots then it would just be a money game..

I'm just asking about the future

[Frekken]

stashable maybe...lets see it in the screen first to know for sure.but maybe some dev could give us a light here

[mapenjay]

its just like clash of clans, players who dont use gems must wait and for those who use must take the advantage for what they have pay

thats the reality guys, better stop complaining on plats users and not

[Adrian Dechavez]

As i notice lots of people asking for more visual effects on thier stuffs depending on how many upgrade they did with their stuffs and the game would be balance if The gems have lvl for each. Slot lets say on the
first slot (lv1 str gem) second slot(lv2 str gem) third( lv3 str gem)..

then this is how to upgrade gem level:

to make a lvl 2 str gem you need to combine two lvl1 str gem
(Strlv1) + (strlv1) = (strlv2)


Then to make a lv3 str gem
You need to combine two lv2str gem
(Strlv2) + (strlv2) = (strlv3)

The stats of the gems should remain still the same..
My concern is to make the game balance because if every one can easily upgrade their stuff the game would be really unfair to those players who cant afford to upgrade

The more huge glow effect may incourage players to upgrade thier stuffs

[inkredible]

sorry that i didnt bother going thru the whole thread
but - i heard somethin about the upgraded items being tradeable? is there an information section regarding trading upgraded items if it is tradeable

[Samdegreat]

Platinum is always involved..... *sigh*

[Carapace]

Platinum is always involved..... *sigh*

but never required.

[Carapace]

If i read correct, the Gems have absolute no Stats or levels. That means, it doesn't matter If u create your Gems with your Main Char or with any Twink.....
More Twinks = more Gems

Essences will be bound as non-tradeable and non-stashable on a per character basis.

[Ninthplague]

I have a question about gemmed items, example I gemmed my lepre at lvl20, will the added bonus also increase as my character lvl goes up or will it be stuck at lvl20 bonus

:::lol i just read that gem bonus depends on the lvl of the item, and a lvl10 item adds 1-2 bonus, may I know what gem bonus is for lvl1 item like lepre?

[Samhayne]

I'm curious, which weekend exactly is this going to be released? (I need to plan my plat buying days for this month ahead of time)

We are at the mercy of the Apple app approval process and cannot give you a specific date, sorry.

[Milan Lame Man]

Socketing a Gem is not a trivial task and takes time. While an item is having a Gem socketed, it is not available for use.

Just a thought: Encouraging people to *stop* playing is never a good thing.

[Theillist1]

This will work for Helms, Armor, Rings, Amulets, and Weapons

Will this work on lvls 1-9?

Like the way what cero talked about its so trueee. To people who denied him, is only a rich and mythic or arcane user only. Dont care about expensive or cheap item. The value is depend on the item with gems. Maybe the 35 lvl of entombed warfare with 3 gems can beat mythic or arcane weapon.. maybe.
