    I'm sorry, but I completely disagree with that point of view, especially if we talk about competition. It brings the unfairness of the PVP to a another level. If there is an issue with Swords, and newer swords have no potential to be better, it is an issue as well, and should be addressed.

    Its like in the hypothetical Formula 111, older racers were allowed to used some crazy nitro/rocket fuel engines because they were allowed/existed before, but the newer racers should compete those old folks with the 2L diesel as it is the only thing that allowed/available. Or older sprinters were able to use drugs even now, though they are prohibited, because they were allowed beforw. What you say makes absolutely no sense to me, and Haruki kind of accepted that when she mentioned the 'magnitude' of the issue.

    I cant even believe some of you guys don't get it.

    jajajajja that explains why i've missed some planes before, =S
    49.14M would be the new math

    anyway @sebastian_fl you say you can farm 1M per day, tell me if i am wrong but you need almost 10-16hrs to do so, am i right?

    point 1.- you think is unfair, and i believe it is right to give everypeople the chance to buy them, just like in life all things can be bought (material), old players spent time and effort, i am ok with that, but new players should have the same opportunity to have those ítems, so if dso decide to introduce the old ítems on events, the old players would complain for not having new items to collect, so if those pets,mounts, uniques, are on sale it wont affect to the old players, note: those ítems should be expensive.

    point 2.- it could be faster IF the ranger uses the armor breaking skill, i have done parties with some rangers and they dont want to use it, -.- and it makes things slower.

    One can farm 1 mil of gop in 6 hours. This is if the are a pro and have enough energy drinks and level 50.

    Sounds about right, maybe 7 hours in a relaxed mode. There is no PRO requirement if you run duo, though.

    That's the point.

    I know that are easier ways to farm GoP but it still take a LOT of your time for a poor reward...

    What kind of price you think is reasonable for the 50-55 upgared. Current is 17M+. Just curious. Do you guys talk about 5M? 10? If that's 5M, I would probably have all my gear of lvl55 already. Yogo would probably have two items of each kind of that level. So give the number and reasoning behind it. Okay, it shouldn't be super hard, I agree, but neither it should be easy.

    On the reward. It couldn't be crazy. Plus 4dmg per level sounds reasonable for a 4x dmg item. Imagine it was plus 12 per level. So some heavy-crazy grinders like myself would become OP comparing to the 'normal' players. With the reward being small it kind of keeps the balance in the competition and player A is not smashing player B in seconds just because his items are 1 level higher. He has some benefit, yes, but it is not ridiculous.

    Upd: I finally realized my posts on glyphs were off topic for this thread, as it is ask CM one. I apologize. Mods, please clean-up the section by deleting or moving glyph-related conversation into a separate thread. Thank you)

    OP, good luck on getting relevant answer from Haruki)

    CMs are responding so rarely here that players have turned this into a general game info thread.
    And when they(CMs) respond I stop my scrolling and say to myself "Hey, I spotted them" and scroll forward :p
    No questions in last two pages :D

    They are very busy. Really- trust me. They DO respond as often as they can- there's also another Twitch session today. Things are good... just that Critical Hit Value...time will show.

    It's nice to see a believer...

    Now maybe the CM's just don't get answers (I would like to believe that), but here is how it goes most of the time.

    Tons of questions and complaints get posted here. CM comes on and chooses a handful of questions/complaints to address.

    The so called answers are more often than not "We know you are unhappy or question XXXXX and we are looking into it. Don't know what changes will happen, if any or when those possible changes might happen but trust we are looking into it."

    Look through the 42 pages and see how many specific answers are provided versus the number that simply suggest that at some point something might get fixed.

    Maybe some are simply happy that someone tells them that they are going to look into it.

    Look at all the DK questions and what have the answers been to this point??? Oh yeah, we are looking into it and maybe at some point down the road do something about it. Can't tell you what that might be or even when, but trust us, we are looking into it.

    The only real answers you get are in the announcement page once the decision has been made and being applied.

    What was explained to me with the awsome new compare loot 2.0 that a new item will show all of the positive and negative effects like my new armor has 10 more heath but 8 less armor and 10 less damage.

    So the new item will have the damage as plus 0 or will all items be a plus and minus like so.

    Heath +10
    Armor -8
    Damage -10

    or

    Heath 320 (+10)
    Armor 242 (-8)
    Damage 0 (-10)

    I seriously hope it is more than that Mega. If it is then it is still a trivial capability to show the obvious +/-. It doesn't take a genius to see that one item has crit and another doesn't or one has 10 more armor than another.

    What it needs to show is a full side by side character sheet. If I put on item A, what would be my base damage, crit%, hp, armor reduction etc etc. To make it even more useful include whatever gems I have in the item I am comparing it too in the comparison. That would be a useful comparison tool. Want to know what a new weapon would do to overall stats if you swapped out all the gems?

    What I want to know when I compare something is the end result to my overall stats. Not the difference between the armor lines on a specific piece. I can do that in my head in 1/4 second.

    Good point! I guess they know how impossible that is and the intention was to get rid of highly upgraded endgamers. I feel a bit discriminated, but I understand the notion, sadly.

    I saw the twitch and thought Greg was somewhat patronizing. Regarding the question about unique drops, the complaint was that the drop rate is so low that some people have farmed for 3 years and not recieved anything. It could be a case of bad luck, or it could be that bigpoint needs to improve the drop rate. What is the probability anyway? If we knew that the chance was one in a million monsters it might prepare us for the disappointment.

    One think I wanted to suggest to the CM's will take me a while to compile the math. What I am certain of for our system of upgrades seems to me that they are geared for a cap of 40. After you pass level 40 gear seems to dwindle or spiral down. I mean for in item to upgrade it takes more and more melts to upgrade it one time. Now that we have level 50 gear I think people are getting slightly upset.

    Suggestion number 1.

    All gear will drop on the map but your toon can not pick it up unless you close to it's level (+/- 9) and the system will treat these items like you are full. Items that are 41 to 50 will have higher Glyphs and it could be scaled to the level that picks it up. Once I compile data I will have a suggestion on the values to items level 41 to 50.

    Haruki when you post criticism in threads about the bugs in game is it up too the Moderators to delete it and say off topic when it is on topic ?
    IMO your forums are as much a waste of time as your game and contacting your so called support network
    good bye to a rubbish game

    Since Haruki isn't going to show up here till Monday, of whatever week, here are the answers :)
    1. On critical hit - we have already improved the lvl 50 values with the r156. And, as you saw on twitch, further improvements are planned. Stay tuned.
    2. On upgrade costs - yes, we know some of the items have the cost higher you would expect, but there is a reasoning behind it. Nevertheless, as you saw on twitch, there is a rework planned on that matter. It will also include the increase of the lvl 50 legendaries melt value from 8400 to... 8650.
    3. On tanks - as you saw on twitch, there is, I would say, a dedicated release planned on rebalancing of DK. Stay tuned.
    N. On other topics - stay tuned.
