Feedback Saphire ->Rune rafine

Make available all rune slots at 1H, 2H and weapon adornment for all speed attacks runes, regardless of the size of the rune. Give a 3 month deadline, or more, for the fair conversion of the safire into the runes (with refiners) and you will equalize the difference between new and old players, at least approximately. Make the price of the refiners to convert the sapphire into a rune to be convenient, accessible or much better, free. I think this would be a fair way for both new players and old ones.

 

Hey there heroes,

New information is coming very soon regarding this situation. Stay tuned to our official announcements.

Cheers,

 

it should be revert option for all saphires just in case players want to switch from 2h to 1h and Vice Versa

 

Cant wait for the slution i hope is a nice one.

​

 

Very soon?i think that wait another 3 months for that solution.Rimember that i dont play when start r.186 for that situation

 

Hey there @mestamer67 ,

When I say "very soon" is "very soon", once I had already the information that things are coming

HERE you have the final information.

 

yeah too bad for us that converted our gems and cant get the other two aggressive gems... A bit unfair don't you think?

 

We were told to wait, though.

Btw, was there any consideration of a gem cracker feature so that could reduce gems down a notch. I'm mostly interested in using it for cyanites but it would have applications for those of us with flawless and up gems but not enough quiazah refiners.

 

Thank you to all involved, both mods and devs, for coming to a resolution on this issue. I was holding out with the faintest hope that some useful like this would happen. But also I am happy just to have this issue laid to rest.

Luck be with ye,
Mikey,
Tegan

 

We were told to wait, after some of us used the thingies they released though not fast enough.

 

The new conversions still don't look appealing to me. I'd rather continue farming for the chance of Rubies and Onyxes or purchase them rather than converting my Sapphires to them.
Sapphires will never drop at this point, and will never be available in the cash shop. This makes them all the more coveted.
I'll continue to farm the runes of celerity during full moon events as well, although who knows how soon they'll stop dispensing them.

 

I feel satisfied with the new refinement offers, Good job!

 

I'm not. Those of us (my DK) with Saphires are still getting shafted by having to pay more than twice the normal conversion rate.

If you don't know what I mean, then do the math on what it costs per 0.1% gain going from gem to rune. It shouldn't be "19" refiners, it should be "9" refiners.

And I've already lost out on 19 refiners total in overcharges between two toons.

It is not what we wanted.
We want same runes for 1h and 2h weapons. For example: Runes can have 2 values. 1 for 1h weapon and adornment, second for 2h weapon with higher value.

 

why?is simly do all same runes,that i can use on 1h weapon and on 2h weapon.i can choisse if i want to play with 1h or 2h.Why u forced me to play only on 1 item?we have 2 weapon in this game or not?i dnt understand why?u convert befor cant use on 1h weapon now?is correct?delete this game and fast..

 

I'm glad to see something is being done, but i don't think it can please everyone.

I'd be carefull if i were you or you'll end up with different "kinds" of runes for hammers, axes and maces

 

Is simple now you can rafine a gem that can be put in all types of weapons in 2 types of gems that can be put only in one type of weapon and that is going to make the value drop at 1/2.

Every time they make a change you should think what profit they get from that. They always nerf things to make you buy more stuff from them. (they have no ideas for new challenges to make money, now they will give us infinite grind with inferno 2,3,4,5,6..)
After they have find that expensive solution for the gems (Quaizah something)they will ruin the items as you can see the shield from wolf and they will continue with skills.
Now if you think at what they did you will notice that is much expensive for you to get maximum speed for 2 types or weapons with 2 different types of runes than using only one type 5v10 is double the number of runes.
Is much expensive to get both 5x16% for DH and 5x8% for SH when you have gems that can be rafine only in one type of runes 5x16% or 5x8%+5x6%.
So what they do is just determined you to buy one more set of runes and that is marketing for them.

Problem is that they have nerf your sapphires value you cant ware them anymore in the adornment because they have nerf the crit value so you need onyxes there, and if you rafine them you reduce the utility of them at 1/2 because you can use them just in one type of item/s DH or SH.
And after they put a bad option to rafine them now they have found a new solution slightly better but neither with this you cant recover your full value of your sapphires but is much better as your have 2 choices instead of one.

Now they put also a way to exchange your sapphires in gems, i wonder how many of us will prefer this type of exchange in regular gems instead of such hard to obtain runes.In this moment i cant buy runes with andermant but i can buy gems so why should i make such a bad trade.

It can be something nice with converters but they should make 2 universal converters one to convert between Sapphires Onyxes and Rubies and second type for the other gems Cyanites Diamonds and Amethysts this will be a nice solution with better implementation that the one they have now.

Now this is a smart way to make money. Nice done

PS.Dont get me wrong i.m happy for this new solution.

 

Too bad if you already converted flawless+ gems, I'd hoped they would have provided a way to convert those grand runes down to regular runes. Basically If you decide to convert a high level gem to regular runes, you're going to suffer a huge value loss e.g. Royal = Radiant + Polished. Converting to Ruby/Onyx appears also to be silly since these are still obtainable in game.

So the outcome will be many players deciding to keep their discontinued gems given their considerable value now, the opposite of the dev's obvious intentions. Especially so for dwarves since they simply don't require onyxs for optimal performance (as if they needed to further the gap between them and all the other classes).

From Day 1 they should have automatically converted all sapphire 'gems' into their simplest regular 'rune' version, such that a player would still have the quantity of small runes to obtain the tier of higher runes (gems then) they had previously. Then conversion should have been from regular to grand if a player so chooses. But instead of consulting people who actually play the game they decided to run with a half-baked idea, that would never satisfy the majority and would inevitably be impossible to achieve their actual goal of removing sapphire gems completely.

 

Arx_X,
You've completely miss-quoted me again. Do you read my whole post? I didn't say anything about hammers or axes, or maces, or staves, or rods, or bows, or any other weapon. Since you've completely missed my point, and I have time at the moment, I'll spell it out.

Start with​	End with​	Gain in bonus​	Cost of gain​
Flawed Sapphire 0.5% bonus​	Lesser Rune of Celerity 2.0% bonus​	+1.5%​	15 Refiners (x15 andermant) = 1 per 0.1% gain​
Splintered Sapphire 1.0% bonus​	Lesser Rune of Celerity 2.0% bonus​	+1.0%​	10 Refiners (x15 andermant) = 1 per 0.1% gain​
Simple Sapphire 1.8% bonus​	Lesser Rune of Celerity 2.0% bonus ​	+0.2% ​	2 Refiners (x15 andermant) = 1 per 0.1% gain ​
Sapphire 3.1% bonus​	Rune of Celerity 4.0% bonus​	+0.9% ​	19 Refiners (x15 andermant) = 2.111 per 0.1% gain ​
Polished Sapphire 5% bonus ​	Mighty Rune of Celerity 6.0% bonus​	+1.0%​	10 Refiners (x15 andermant) = 1 per 0.1% gain ​
Radiant Sapphire 6.6% bonus​	Supreme Rune of Celerity 8.0% bonus ​	+1.4% ​	14 Refiners (x15 andermant) = 1 per 0.1% gain ​

 

In my opinion they should have block the transfer for saphires lower than 1.8 .

And the new rafine method is also crap cuz you have to choose the 1H or 2H build , if you chose 1h you wil loose speed on 2h because you are locked at 8% , if you take the 2h your runes cant be used on 1H and you lose more.
What to do ??what to do?? Maybe i will keep my sapphires )
