Jewels vs. Gems

[Bluebatthing]

How would it solve the issue? I assumed you're talking about para gems. If the new jewels are not comparable to para gems, the old gear with para gems, especially twink level items, will remain in circulation for a long time, that defeats the intention of STS trying to phase out the old gems. Sure, normal gems will be gone relatively quickly, but OP gems such as paras and Enchanted eyes won't be going anywhere any time soon.

Limiting gems to old gears only will solve the entire issue.

U want everybody by next event to run with maximum damage ?
Or better change the game name to sniper legends?
Dude in simple sense limiting to old gears will completely stop gemming those remaining para into new gears.
Regarding ur existing para gears, jewels will somehow cover it up followed by better gears will eliminate para.
Hope that clears u now.

Let me take a wild guess, you own para gems? Anyway, have you taken a look at the process of crafting new jewels from the test server? If you did, then you know how much work, time and gold is required to craft one of the top tier jewels. I'm almost certain that not everyone will be running the next event with max damage, even if STS decides to bring up the stat of the damage jewels, only a select few would be able to afford these. Your argument regarding the jewels will "somehow" cover it up followed by better gear will eliminate paras, when will that be? The expansion is nearly here, people have been begging for something to bring balance back to the game, at end game as well as twinking levels, and you're suggesting the masses to wait for para to phase out while the few who are hoarding para gems to continue to dominate? And no that did not cleared me!

Tell me one thing dude. Does hoarding makes any sense if gems been limited to old gears only? I guess not.
Then why the heck is that bothering you?
Take an example I hoard 100 para gems . Ok now what I'm gonna do that at future? The answer is clear there is no future since those won't be able to upgrade new gears. If u still didn't get that then God bless you and ur imagination.

How did you come up with the idea that I'm bothered by any of this? I am simply voicing my opinion on how the new jewels should replace the old gems. As Zeus stated on this thread, if the jewels are not equal to or slightly better than the likes of paras, enchanted eyes, or reinforced gems, how will it replace them? Remember this subsection is for reporting bugs, discussions, and suggestions for the new contents in the test server, you have your opinion, I have mine. It seems you can't keep a constructive discussion going without resorting to personal attacks, I will no longer be replying to your comments as it will derail the purpose of this thread. Good day buddy.

I've kept myself constructive with my opinion on limiting gems usage. U don't understand is not my problem. Like u said I have my opinion and it's not my interest on attacking personally. If u perceive it that way then it's u. Anyway good luck ahead.

You missed that part that gem functions will be no way changed, so we can still socked saved gems into lvl46 gear.

It was an option for sts to have a look if jewels really going to replace gems with somehow similar or better stat but keeping them out from future upgrading.

Jewels upgrading takes a while and been cleared up by devs. It's not the final stat for now. But what we can sense is that at endgame jewels might cover up gems. And people will have to work on it to own it.
