My first thought when I read this was I would be happy to have to dump my thief's knife for a better one. Maybe, somehow you could make it where we can't equip or hold a new and old thief's knife. If we want the new one we have to dump the old one. Just my thinking.Quote:

Think i'm just going to take a 2x4, write "Accessory thats has TH+1 Latent Effect only active when Thief's Knife is not equipped" on it then start beating people over the head with it whenever they suggest an upgrade or weapon based solution.

Ah I hate to ask this especially if some1 already did but...why did they ever muck things up and put it on a weapon in the 1st place? I understand maybe putting it on an entire outfit but a weapon? When they knew they'd eventually be raising the level cap? Kind of a DUH move.

People said that you could put it up to 99 even back then but when they asked SE if they were going to raise it to 99 they always denied it.Quote:

I believe in Beta, Sage Sundi appeared as a level 80 DRK or so - I think? the data for 99 has been in the game since the beginning if i recall... as Blah pointed out, you could /sea level ranges like 70-80, 80-90, so forth and I usually found typing /sea all 1-99 easier and it would bring up everything.
It could simply be the system recognizing the data for ease of use, but I think they programmed it in the beginning to accept up to level 99 (or 100?), just never used it. There's a solid chance that the game was never going to go past 75, but SE decided to raise the cap late enough into the games life to give people a new experience... Who knows. -

Originally we planned or thought about level caps up to 200 but we finally decided on 75 because it was a good number and the release of the merit point system is what finalized 75 as the highest level possible. We won't be raising it at any point in the future.

Like I said, they denied it when asked, but if it really is true then why have the 99 essentially programmed in?
