What happened to the Enchanted Eye of Syrillax?

[Ravager]

At its current state its just a bad overall gem. Who prefers tactics or force gear for the extra crit vs assault, brutality or potency? Those are the small handful that will consider using the gem.

At least make it 4/4/4.

[Kakashis]

This will be the first event where the highest I'll go for any of my toons is gold XD the plat reward isn't worth the effort XD

[Kingofninjas]

So because one or two people out of tens of thousands may have 15 slots and fill them all with eyes, the entire community gets screwed out of a decent plat tier prize, and instead gets no incentive to run.

While I see that filling 15 slots with a critacular item would be a problem, surely there is some way to prevent this issue without making plat tier rewardless. Right now I am tempted to remove my eye and replace it with a gem that is actually beneficial, which is extremely depressing after how much effort it took me to get the damn thing.


if you can't make a gem that is both rewarding and un-exploitable, then you need to make something else as the prize. How about....I don't know....a new ring to replace the one we have worn for 10 levels? There's a concept.

Ikr. Needs of the many before the needs of the few. Another solution would be to allow Zeus to have only a maximum of 5 of these gems at an given point. If we do that, I think the odds of somebody running around with 15 of these gems are significantly reduced.

Please confirm whether there will be any further changes to this gem. Is this the final version or is it going to change again?

Thanks

[Chirurgienne]

This is not late for making some change

actually many players don't run and prefer to buy recipe and eye in auction ( 1m for both) lol

[Memnoch The Devil]

please release an official statement regarding the lb prizes... is just the vanity or other stuff too?

[Franocazzzo]

Your main priority in events should be end gamers and the lb prize, not who got the most twinks too plat tier..

Just the absolute worst suggestion ever, since the devs said them selves events will be able to be farmed by players of all levels. Also the fact that your super rich making it easy for you to say this to try to limit the amount of items influencing in the market to get richer. And because most of the people who play al wouldnt be able to farm the events at all giving them the chance to make gold.

99% of the events any levels can farm the event. None of the devs ever mentioned that twinks cannot farm this event. They even made the LB opened up to all levels.

I agree and will wait to run to plat. I don't really want a gem that I'd prob pay 6k for? I wouldn't use it but I hope I could sell for 8k. How do the devs imagine geared end gamers would ever use this? Would you replace a grand tarlok or regular grand with this gem? I want to get inside a devs head. Where do you see the value, ie what would you replace with this gem for an improvement? I can't come up with a good answer...honestly. I hear the reasons for the nerf but how is this gem valuable? I was kidding about the resale earlier in the post. I buy things that I want to use. I can't find one good reason to buy or run for this gem. Love yowie btw.

Oh god, please stick to the current gem stat this time. Rectify it with a more worthy farmable gem in the future. Too much gem changes confuses a lot of people and a lot of false info circulating which have the potential to reach days to players who are not forum-active.

and besides, damage boost is ok but higher crit chance is "God-game-activated".
PVP wise where you will stay most of your AL time

[uunknownn]

Lol have you tried to run in twinks in lvl 18-23??i guess not!!running event in endgame is a lot essier!lol

[Kriticality]

And energy is selling for 30% less than Halloween. I couldn't sell energy fast enough. Now it's almost on par with selling ankhs. Maybe that many more people bought plat to sell energy or maybe people aren't running as much. Either way, the supply is def more than the demand, whatever that may mean.

That's fine if your opinion is that they should leave it as it is for the twinks,. However, that does NOT change the fact that it desperately needs to be fixed for end game.

[Uicheusa]

You thought one Delphina was easy to replace.

[Limsi]

As a platinum player I am deeply dissatisfied with this outcome. I have been paying this game for over 2 years now and with any announcement like this it is really hard not to get annoyed. Absolutely nothing you say is reliable and it seems I cannot make prudent decisions based on your announcements. Sholud you had written - 'This are preliminary stats, subject to revision' - I would not be making this post, but you did not.

I have heavily invested in getting to the plat tier in order to obtain both the recipe and the eye as rewards. Should i have known this info beforehand i would have not bothered to buy plats nor participate after reaching the gold tier. I used over 3k of mana potions and my god damn time during which i could play any other reliable game. I have also bought 3 more eyes of the market for approx. 3m and now this.

This is unacceptable!

I'm quoting this for you guys to see.

We know humans make mistakes and that's part of the game, but when it comes to information dissemination, the same problem recurs. I'll be frank with you guys, whatever you announce in the community seems to always be subject to change. Do you like a place where even your most loyal players could not even trust you as a company when it comes to "final words"?

A bad price for the plat tier? Sure I would agree with you 100%. But a bad gem overall? Not so sure. Look at it this way. I am a rogue and I incorporate some int and str into my stat distribution. I am sure mages include some str in theirs and maybe dex but not sure and have no clue about tank builds.

Let me use my own distribution as an example. Currently, I am putting 20 points in str, 10 in int and 210 in dex. I have 3.9k health and 1.7k mana. Lets say I put 3 of these gems in my own gear. I get +9 int, str, dex. Lets say these replaced the grand fire gems (which is what most people have). If I wish to retain my original stats, I can remove 9 int and 9 str (18 points) from my original distribution and end up with the same health and mana. Since I am losing 3 dex per gem (9 total), I will add this 9 dex to my stat distribution. I now have 9 free points to add wherever I wish, enhancing my stats in every way. This does not include the crit bonus (of 3%, which is an added bonus). While I cannot speak for tanks and mages, this gem is certainly a viable option for rogues. I would love to get a mages and tanks input on this reasoning and if it applies to them.

That being said, this measly stat increase is certainly not befitting of a plat tier reward, especially one that is so absurdly hard to reach.

Carapace,

Yes, one can gain the critical rate you mentioned. However, in the world of gems like paeacelsus...it would be unwise to go full eye gem.

Paracelsus gems are still extremely useful and one can go to a maximum of 5-6 until they become not worth it. Typically, a player has at least 1 while the common number of paracelsus gems seems to be 1-3.

So, going at your previous rate, that's -6.39%. Also, let us not forget that some will need some primary stat or Tarlok wind gems to keep up bonus damage so the paracelsus gems remain useful. So, more gem slots are used from that. In reality, one really only has 4-5 slots to use for the new gem.

Also, let us not forget that your new imbued armors/helms currently only have 2 slots per item. So, a maxed rogue would have 13 slots. At least 3 will be taken by Paracelsus. 4-5 will be used by primary. The remaining would be safe to go: either primary, eye, or more para.

The way you had it before allowed for diversity in builds. Yes, the crit could be ~31% but one would be sacrificing a lot for that to happen.

2.13% IMO, was reasonable. Remember, this gem also detracts directly from skill damage, damage, bonus damage, and other important attributes when compared to a primary gem. It's a supplemental gem but IMO, it can never be a primary gem like the original: blood, glacial, and fire gem replacements.

I don't think anyone in their right mind would use this gem in all 15 slots. Even when the gem had 2.13% crit, it was questionable if one should use it or not.

Furthermore, if this is slated to change then refunds should be handed out. I was grinding and bought gems under the expectations that the gems would have the stats developers announced. Furthermore, even though I can afford to, I knew that going more than 4-5 eye gems would be a downfall.

Please keep in mind that this gem was OKAY when considering all the other various gem types currently in existence.

This was the last one i could take. Good bye.

I know you hate low level pvp but,from what I've been hearing and seeing on youtube about rog 1-hit KO everyone, PVP will be more ruined at 41 if you put the orignal crit stats on the syrillax gem, you wont have any problem whether they buff or nerfed syrillax again cause you're a rog.

[KillerXyler]

if all want 2.13% crit than warrior and mage health and armour should given a buff

Agree with this!
