New Evoliths! Tell SE what you want Added! My Suggestions + Yours >>

[Karbuncle]

I don't Think they're going to put the amount of effort into Evolith to fix it. I think it would literally take removing every current Evolith, Removing the "Shape" system, Adding the "1-per Restrictions" system, Revamping all Current Hunt Registries to either keep the useless Evolith, Or Replace them with some of the ones above, etc etc.

But, I can always Hope. I'm no game designer, but I'd imagine the above steps would be a lot of work o-o

Well, the good thing is that it would be compared to moving around furniture in an already built house vs building a new house from the ground up ^^/ Where the latter would be the more work extensive option of course.

Granted, I think they could keep all the current Evoliths (yes the all the overly situational ones) based on if they did in fact allow us to ability to swap them out without using Synergy, and maybe allow all the same current Evolith dropping NMs drop the newly added Evoliths based on different conditions (like the Hunt Registries, or even the use of the Trial of the Magians.

I'm really hoping the Dev Team can see the great potential suggested throughout all the post here in this thread, though because I'd be glad to wait for such a overhaul so long as it's coming ^^/

Love your ideas Karb, on what stats should be added on stones as well as the idea of removing the shape. Codewise I'm assuming you'd just have to take the identifier that currently tells you what slot a stone fits in and change it to tell what group it's in (str stone, dex stone, trait stone, etc...) and have it check which groups are already there when equiping a second stone. That way as you said only one of a certain type can be equiped on a weapon at once i.e. no str+5 and str+4 on the same item.

It's not that it would be difficult, more that it would be time consuming b/c they would have to modify the data for all the existing evoliths as well as alot of tweeks to the system in place. Kind of like completely remodeling your kitchen, the foundation is there but there's still alot of work to be done. If they do make the changes that put together both your and King's ideas, I would love those little stones.

Thats quite possibly the best way anyone explained anything to anybody ever.

Thanks :3

And I'm all for being patient for the new kitchen to be remodeled, even if it took a couple of months to get finished ^^

See that Karb, a little creative juices and boom, you've created new life to an old system that Folks would go nuts over:

Just imagine the sudden flood of Aptant gear hitting the AH again lol
