    I know STS do the right thing, just a matter of time. Later they will find a way out of these jewels issues.
    I wish I were me.

    Either you make jewels better than para or eye or you also make these gems buyabe with the new tokens.
    Para and eyes will be back, if jewl is better who will farm those events?

    Perhaps I am imagining, but I think developers said paracelsus would NOT be back? I may be misled but honestly, I think I came across this on forums unless my memory is playing tricks on me.

    However in this post they said "Making more Paracellus-level gems to "even the playing field" for players that do not have them would simply worsen game balance."

    Moreover, para is not crafted ...

    Yes and he wrote after:

    "In the end, we felt the best course of action was to let existing gems eventually work themselves out of the game. Since they are not removeable from gear and there is only a set amount of them, they would, over time, cease to exist."

    I think he meant para gem also as existing gem.

    Who will farm events, thats a good question maybe they plan some other rewards like toor pet for lb and mythic ingredients for reaching platinum tier or so.

    The damage jewel (and crit jewel) stats on the test server are clearly *not* correct. Don't you think it's a little soon to me making sweeping conclusions like that?

    Hali posted a SS where Carapace stated the stats for the jewels are final in my thread.

    Why are you so sure that they are clearly not correct? Carapace said that stats are final but may change, if we don't start to protest now, this will go live.

    I agree with you Parth, if we are talking about end game here. But they have to be very careful with twink levels. So the system should be that these jewels be scaled to level. At end game I have no problem with a damage jewel being more powerful than a para (although I don't see how you could make it more powerful than an initial para which gives +7.5 damage). As for eye gems, they currently are not so OP at end game anyway, and since no other jewel really compares to them, I don't think they need to be addressed much. Perhaps the solution is to make a couple more gem tiers like at level 35 & 40, and maybe even 45.

    Enchanted eye gems are equally OP when paired with para gems, Ener. They give everything that the paracelsus gem lacks which is why you see combinations like 10-11 paras & 2-3 eyes.

    Paracelsus 'Stone' and Enchanted 'Eye'. They are not called 'gems' literally and are not craftable, so chances are they might not be included with the gems that are going away. And they might be back again this year's event.

    Your logic is wrong and you forgot elondrian life shard and necropolis cursed skull. We have gem system currently and these are the gems. What's the point making chaos, lightning, nature and water jewels if gems are coming back with better stats?

    Can you remove it from your gear?

    Yes) jewel
    No) gem

    Paracelsus stone is a gem.

    They won't be back, the devs said that time will make them disappear out of the game. They just want them to die out by themselves but thats not the solution, people who have some paras stashed away will surely have the upper hand this whole new expansion.

    Once jewels are introduced, you won't be able to upgrade gear with gems. So any remaining para gems will be useless.

    If these jewel stats are final, I'll be quite disappointed. Damage and crit gems will be worthless.

    EDIT:

    I'm incorrect. Gems will still be able to be socketed. Just not crafted. Pretty silly if you ask me.

    You're right. I misunderstood. Paras will sell for 1B.

    I wouldn't be surprise if it sells for that much XD. This is why you see some people who have the resources buying up all the paras in the form of gemming, and I'm sure once the expansion is released and people see how uncompetitive the jewels are, those items will sell for huge profit. You'll see the same people pushing to have the jewel stats to stay as it is in the test server. People have the right to voice their opinions, but to essentially going against progress for personal gains is simply selfish.
