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
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.
