[Discussion] New Itemization System Coming in the Next Expansion

[Remiem]

We hope you’re as excited about the coming Dragon Enclave expansion coming in February to Arcane Legends as we are! If you haven’t read that announcement yet, you can find that here. There will be a lot of new and exciting things included in the expansion. One of the changes we are planning is a refinement to how item progression is done.

In Past Expansions
In the past, when an expansion released, we released all of the new items, weapons, armor, vanities, etc. all together at the release of the expansion. This causes a sort of “rush” for all the best new gear and a lot of players skipped over many items to get to the new level cap and get their hands on the best of the best.

While it’s great to get everything from the beginning, the fun is over too fast! What’s the fun of exploring this huge new section of the world if you run out of things to do?

In the New Expansion
With the release of the upcoming expansion, we will be staggering new item release over time. There will be less “filler” items. Then, a little further down the road, we will release additional content that hold the potential for different or improved items.

With the staggered release of new gear, you’ll have new things to get excited about more often. Rather than just getting everything there is at the very beginning and a longer wait for something new, we will be offering more frequent content with gear improvements.

The Result
Our goal is to keep Arcane Legends exciting for you. We want a world where there is always something new to look forward to. Of course, there is a fine balance to this goal. We want to have items interesting and different, but not change them out so quickly that you never have the opportunity to enjoy your hard won items for too long. We are very mindful of not replacing everything too quickly.
We look forward to your thoughts on this change to itemization. Please write below your feeback and as always, thanks for playing Arcane Legends!
