Please allow us to use our stuff while RE-Gemming.

So far, I use a combination of "tactics" -- I try to upgrade before I go to bed. Much of the time, I will be out for 12 hours anyways.

Also, I have all of my gear from before getting my current gear, so I can use that. In addition, I have, on other occasions, purchased cheap temporary gear, so I know that should I desire, that option is also available.

But of course, for the really particular player, just have two sets of your equips: one set to upgrade, one to play

They should not have rushed this update and listened to our feedback/ideas before releasing it.

Wow, you have items in your inventory that don't exist?

Lol I thought the same thing

We would advise you to plan out your playtime and start a gem upgrade accordingly. Start a 12 hour slotting or re-slotting in the evening and you'll have the item back in mid morning.

Also, it's not so bad to have a piece of backup gear. There are a lot of items in the world

We understand your feelings and appreciate your feedback. We'd like to wait and see how things settle out over time. We are watching how users are using these new systems and will adjust accordingly over time.

Personally I like the current system. I think you left out human factor into the equation Aze. A person would waste way more plat on upgrades than farming to obtain that superior gem. No one just give up after 1 shot. That's like someone with 2000 plats opening 1 crates n giving up after a cheap pink.

I have a guildmate who blew 2000 plats already.

Sts working on our gambling desires once again. Luckily I have a job n can't be on 24/7. Haven't drop 1 plat on the crafting system.

**Rare** · 11-19-2013, 07:29 PM

On the bright side, now there is something else to work for. A second set

**wvhills** · 11-19-2013, 07:38 PM

For most players the current system isn't a problem. It mainly effects those of us who run arena and elites. It completely takes us out of the game. The system has to cost plat each time a gem is resocketed for sts to have a continuous revenue stream. I have no problem with this. What I think is over board is the 2 days or 96 plat for the last socket. I vote for changing it to 6/12/24 for the three sockets. I buy plats but I'm not ever going to use it for bypassing a timer. I save my plats for revs/vanities and pets. The only reason I see to upgrade items is for PVP. I can run elites and arena just fine without upgrades so I don't think the crafting system is something I'm going to use the way it currently functions.

I like it just the way it is! i mean crafting is normal same procedure in almost all online games when you upgrade.

where can see a game while you upgrade you can used the item. LOL..

So please STS dont change it.. this is how it should be.. more challenging more fun...

**Paulsebi** · 11-20-2013, 06:56 AM

It's very good the way it is.... atleast for me it's fine!

100% agreed

**inkredible** · 11-20-2013, 07:09 PM

it means go outside, do somethin in real dont sit there 24/7 on ur comp/ phone socialize with ur family / friends !
HAHAH
it be nice to be able to equip it tho while its upgrading

**Azepeiete** · 11-20-2013, 08:14 PM

Nvm irrelevant

I agree 100% man and superior gems are faaaaar toooo rarrrreere!! At this rate not using plat by the time i get all superior on just my 26&36 the lvl cap will be 46+ lol

**Morholt** · 11-20-2013, 09:33 PM

It's not gonna happen. It's already reduced to twelve hours for every resocket.
This is where sts is going to be making their money. Everything about the newly developed system is fully FREE to use!
Having fully superior bonded gear should be rare & for the elitest of players.
If you want to get there faster & able to use your items between usage use platinum.
Impatience is how they make the majority of their money.

It's not like you can't survive without superior bonded gear. In fact, you can survive without any gems in your gear. The maps haven't gotten any harder or more challenging.
The majority of PvP is people all wearing the same EXACT gear...at least with superior bonds being hard to come across, there will be a small variance between players & their stats.

Lol fun for you cuz u just pay with plats. Not fun for others who actually have to wait the 12hours n can't pve or pvp n get no super gem on top of it.
