Feedback: Empowered Stones of Augmentation (Elite Awakening Gems)

[asommers]

We're considering a change to the Empowered Stones of Augmentation: let the list of possible enhancements always be available (even outside of the Item Awakening Event). This change will allow you to use your elite awakenings gems at any time without requiring the Item Awakening Event in order to receive the highest-rarity enhancements.

Thoughts? Concerns?

This change will be good for game as a result of the great arrival of gears every event.
Some may say that it gonna end with the investment purposes(hoarding elite gems for sell during event) but it was already ruined with the current 25% plat sale happening/ 40% one during events, which was very evident during april awakening.
Keep awakening as a mini event in order to keep the sale of blue/normal gems and if devs has a plan to bring something fun to it such as make elite gems drop from bosses during event or etc, we're welcome.

noo that would be horrible

the awakening event is always exciting to awaken ur gears

[lethal]

imagine u had ur favourite meal every day, it would get boring

It would be great to have chance to roll 15% crit damage on Rusk blade on day 1 and not several months later, when new gear is behind corner. On the other side would not that affect sales of gems and income of STS as of now players are preparing for that special week? I think if you'll make all possible awakes available 24/7, then there still should be some sort of special event related to awakening in game. How about during Awakening event you disable all those great awakes such as mana ignore, dodge, etc.. Players would pick 5 in pool, that are removed from possible rolls during event. This way during awakening event players can roll some combos easier. Question is would not this bring crazy combos per item? You can just add it to daily events (4x a month aka 1 per week in a month) and that would work for me.

Mixed.

The amount of new gears and items being pushed right now is aggressive. The only pacing we have currently is the limitation on immediately being able to OP awake new items.

If we can OP awake them at any time, then the items we already spent to awake will become outdated at an even more rapid pace.

With that said, if you push this will I take advantage? Yes.

But please note. This game is already alarmingly expensive if you are trying to stay competitive and top for gear.

I’d really consider this both ways.

New gears dropped in locked crates = instantly broken awakes rolled straight away.

Too much gear in circulation to make all kinds of awakenings possible on a daily basis.
I understand it's all about money but let's be realistic here really.

It's a great idea, clearly the people who are against it saying -1 They are players who do not use awakening or merchant elites. Maybe this is the end of their business. Although so that no one suffers, it would be interesting to have an elite awakening event once a month. Much fairer and more interesting. Really with so much new gear and sets, it's overwhelming to wait 4 or 3 months for this event. Positive things are that things with good awakening are going to go down in price, so things like the % gl They will be more frequent and cheaper. I really love the idea and thank you for opening these spaces. Ignore people who say -1 without a valid argument.

-1 its good how its now

[uraaa5738]

this will definitely kill the game… players will get bored and spoon feed, check the other games as example that died.

[uraaa5738]

imagine eating ur favorite meal everyday youll get exhausted, but in terms of income wise sts is gonna be happy [emoji85][emoji85][emoji85] jokes only.

[Apocalyptis]

As a player who needs to keep up with newest meta, this is big -1. It would make gear circulation even faster than it is now. (And it is already crazy.)

People don’t realize that their old gear would lose the value from day to day by even more than it is now.

[Makingmofongoo]

Hello sorry to slide in, since devs are considering this matter. Can you also consider returning the inventory, stash, auction slots to vendors?

or try this suggestion: instead of making it a “mini event” while not include it in the schedule events. for example lets just remove the dragkin, jewel elixirs, cryostar and make the slot event monday, wed, fri, sunday etc.

like kill a random boss then get chance a to drop inventory, auction, crafting enventory, stash slots and so on.

[Monarsi]

+1 to this. It's very frustrating to wait months to awakening items. I think the game will be more fun and competitive this way. It will also have a positive effect on the market balance.

[uraaa5738]

This will crash the market especially the outdated ones like krak, zaa etc. Plus if yall expecting a good price on a op awake gears think in advance that its gonna be common and at anytime a player can get those awakes.

And once this happens everyone will get fairly almost have same awake. That will crash the market and will it make the game boring. 🥱

[caabarader]

I don't think the price of items will really "crash" but just decrease the gap in prices of normal and op awakens. Keep in mind that in order to have op awakens, firstly u need to have an bad/clean awaken item, And the game is lacking even sb gears.

[Kale-Linty]

-1 for this there will be always an op awake in auc and every gears released. Overpowered awakes should just be limited, awakening event is good as it is right now. Implementing this system might kill the market, or the GAME as this makes the game boring.

If u wanna kill the player base then go for it. The past months of gear thrown out were random and unnecessary. Better if the team introduced harder, and permanent content instead, so we have a reason to use these power-creeping gears.

The majority of the demographic are still free to play players, I'd say only 5% are actually spending. While we all understand that plat whales fund the game, but please don't wait until the game ends up with that 5% twidling their thumbs in camp, while the rest stray away unable to keep up with the intense gear progression.

Kinda disappointed, I would've thought that the perma 25% plat sale and 20x aura a month to increase plat revenue was enough. But seems like every aspect of the game lately just becomes monetized extremely.

[Encryptions]

This will result in you devs losing money, us players having access to all the most op gears in the game at all times and a removal of an event in which gives you guys time to do things while keeping players active so -1.
Look at the overall cons not the positives, these positives aren't good for the game.

1 concern is if this takes place what happens to blue gems?

i like this idea. but -1 for the implementation. i am the one who always reawake item outside the event. and when awake event start i dont have much gem left. So, i think the best way is to keep the event for a week plus 50% to 60% plat offer or discount for awake gem offer.

This may seem good in the short term. In long term, it is very bad

cool so blue gems become useless,
everyone wants 150% or more gl awake on items (like snow) , or 10% + awakes on anything used for power in weapons. or 50%+ ms awakes on speeed sets than current 30%+ usual

I really liked that example of your favorite meal will get boring each day.

Items with blue gem awakes would probably become trash and you guys will probably buff bosses even more because everyone would become so op.

Not fun, awakening event once in 2-3 months is cool.

I spend a load ton on elites and blues too but i dont want the game broken.

These people dont understand those awakes are good because they are rare, if everytime available they lose their value.
and using elite gems and gambling will become non-profitable too instead of the current system where rare is valuable

[thuzirr]

Big -1, awakaning event is always great and short

having it always would be horrible for the game

[Stein]

I think its very helpful to a lot of players, because imagine we can get OP awake everyday

Players that comment -1, they r afraid bcause they already keep a lot of elite awake gems to be manip in awake event :)

[Neutrone]

I always stand by preserving ways for F2P to make gold and this is one of them, so no.

An alternative would be to have a special awakening gem that costs 10+ plat and allows you to get special awakes outside of awakening event. This gem would only be available for sale during awake event.

This wouldn't affect the value of the other gems as people would still use them during awake event. Those who want special awakes outside of awake event can use the special awake gems. Its a win win for everyone involved.

[Zoee]

gonna be a nice change

[Observing]

1+ and please consider allowing us to use them at any level, I got some of those bound ones that are sitting on my low level atm...

[Watichi]

If you're considering adding these, maybe make it once a month maybe?

[uraaa5738]

-1 This will affect the game’s economy. Think about the normals gem lol

[Tekila]

Actually that is an amazing idea.

The gap between 2% op awak is too big so having only 3 sessions of 2weeks to roll them blocks the player’s progression in gearing.

However this will make the blue gems useless 100% on the time. (Why would you reawak with chances to get bad awaks when you can always use the red ones to get better awaks?).

If you plan to do so maybe can you make something about the blue ones. Maybe during event can they roll the same awaks as the red ones but the red ones get empowered so they have more chances to get good awaks.

Or maybe can you make blue gem and red gem have the same lootable of awaks but just give the red gems greater chances to get those great awaks.

People who hoard and resell Elite Gems already have enough gold to progress their gear ect so worrying about that seems pointless.

How do you even know the status of about 16000 players?

This will save it from breaking

[portgrace]

I am fully aware of the implications of this.

I for one can afford pretty much anything in AL. I do find myself constantly carrying people in Pub runs

First, if you were aware of status of 16k players out of which only 3-5% are actually well equipped, you had know why rest 95% aren't well equipped. Hence your implications only help u blow money gambling anytime.

Second, Implications will make good gear easily available at a cheap rate. Very true, hence strengthening players more, but an increase in player's stats will mean an incoming buff for bosses because it imbalances bosses so much if 4 guys doing boss in 3 seconds. Example being buff to hedo or rahab or elite bosses. To say, new meta will be 8% stats minimum or more or you are weak. No fun! Mentality of game will remain same, metas will change.

Majority of AL players still live on zaarus or cheap gears, if you dont know probably go run those carry public maps. They have neither means nor gold to awaken 8% or glamble like u. even the players who do have 6/6 sb still majorly do not have 4%+ awakes on gears. They strive to get it in awake event and that makes it GOOD! If it was available daily, it would make the 8% minimum stats nature true in game. Instead of spending elite gems (100 gems cost 30m), someone can buy such OP awakes for cheaper cost than spending 30m (which is rare luck to get good awakes in 100 gems). Hence the people who do gamble face losses because their investment is more than return.

Hence players who are still striving in game (which is dying because players leave), they too leave seeing the indifference between top brass and themselves. Unless ofc you carry 10k - 15k guys 24x7

But since you mentioned you are a person who carries noobies, i am sure you will be donating 50-60m to anyone u carry.

[portgrace]

Focus of game has to be retaining new players and getting more through advertisement and focusing on more important things like inventory slots, character development for a beginner, easier access to auction (a bidding system) or more such features. Having more players will bring more money automatically and balance economy.

Letting this update of daily awake event will one day balance itself. But player base will decrease even more, hence killing game faster.

Unless blue gems be rolling the same op awakes as red too.

+1 Main reason is that i really hate to awake new gears twice (once when i get them and again ofc when awake event is there).

And for those who are saying that Blue gem will become useless, idk but i usually use them only to unlock slot so...
