Artifact Armor 4 idea

[Atomic_Skull]

I'm just working off the assumption Static upgrades will be garbage. They're working off the assumption "Not static" will be so random they expect it to be like Fields of Valor (which it wont).

Wish we had a little more info on what kind of bonuses we might see with each choice...

Random augments aren't going to make Relic gear outshine Emp gear. Emp gear is just too perfectly suited to each job with amazing stats on every piece. At best you'll just be using the same situational pieces as before only with a few extra random stats added.

Personally I'd rather just have fixed stats with those situational pieces made into better situational pieces e.g. Assassin's Armlets with Treasure Hunter +2.

Synergy is garbage and has always been garbage. SE isn't going to make it any less unpopular than it is now by trying to ram it down our throats. Abjuration gear augments didn't change this and Artifact gear augments won't either. If it's based on Synergy people simply won't bother.

Just wondering: When has the community EVER loved random augments?

[Shibayama]

Wait... so do you need to already have it +1'd via dreamworld dynamis to +2 it with ToM?

[Showmo]

Static please. I enjoy being able to store equipment without having to log out 10+ times to retrieve my gear.

You say this, but let's make an example:

Mavi Mintan +2: Acc+12, Macc+12, Haste+3%, Refresh+2
Mirage Jubbah: MP+20, Acc+10, Enmity-2, Refresh+1
So all you need to make Mirage better than Mavi is: 3 accuracy, 13 magic accuracy, 4 haste, and 2 refresh.

Considering the jump from 75 gear to 90 gear, I don't see it as being impossible. I imagine the difference between 90 and 99 gear will be just as huge as the difference between 75 and 90 gear.

I don't understand why the developers have always been so clueless as to what the user population wants. The fact that they even offered the option for "random" is a testament to this. An overwhelming majority of people have made it clear that we want the security of knowing that our work is paying off.

I'm glad that these forums are here so that the devs can change their attitudes towards the game based on what they see.

Real life application:
Work for 2 weeks, have a chance at getting paid, could get payed 0$, could get payed 1,000$.

or

Work for 2 weeks, get payed 500$.

I like to sleep in a bed, and I like knowing that I will get to sleep in a bed because of my work.

Stop asking for static and good stats already they already said no.

From reading this thread "the playerbase" wants :

- static because you think they will be easier to get (they claimed otherwise : this looks like killing Arch DL one hundred times)
- not synergy because they did not level it.
- storable because they don't care on the item anyway.
- they want static and also good stats even though the dev said the opposite.

derp derp weaker must automatically mean 50% why did I get booted from BG again?

Obviously 50% is a maximum. The dev post is full of "BALANCE" terminology. Good means hard, average means easy, is what I understood basically. I'd rather be pimp in salvage gear than wear the same AF3 gear as everyone else. If the the static stats suck, which they will, nobody will do the event, there will be no variety in the game AGAIN, etc.

So in the same paragraph you say that you would rather wear worse gear (Salvage), and that if the gear isn't better than current (AF3) no one will do it.

You're so silly!
