AF4

[Daemon]

This is true, I myself have been looking on where to cut down on my sets depending on situations. But, its not always so easy & clear cut, for instance I have these as my sets.



I have a hard time picking & choosing what exactly I will need at certain times though, all together these sets have about 140 pieces of gear, give or take 5 pieces. For melee with swords for instance, even by only having my WS gear, normal TP gear, FCure gear, CBuff gear, Enhancing, FC, a special FL Enfeebling set to cut down on that gear, PDT, MDT, and my RefreshDT set, I still go over 80 pieces. I don't have much in there I could easily take out without hurting myself in some way on the front lines. On the back lines its even worse, as basically everything in my magic & other categories is something I need still.

I know you know how bad inventory gets, but in the end its an issue which needs to be spoken, even if Ultimas gets a little extreme in some of his posts, showing gear which is not really important like the staff & back, he has a point, the fact that gear is a large issue.

I like the idea of new AF, I want it, I would like my RDM to get some great melee gear from it since our last set was pure magic based, and it would help give RDM more of a sense of balance so far as being a Jack-of-all-trades goes in my opinion. But in the end, I honestly still have to ask myself if I have the room for that kind of thing anymore, and sadly, my answer is no, I don't. If we get a new set of AF, we will need an inventory expansion, and since they seem to be working on it, we may get it, but it seems this invisible hoard of players who hate extra load times is keeping us from it right now, so I can not say I don't want AF4, I would love AF4, but in order for me to get the most use from it I need them to give me my extra inventory too, even if it means extra load times, which I have never had a problem with in the first place.

Yeah DJ you said it better than me. I just start typing out gear off the back of my head as Im not in game when Im posting. But the issue really is gear being constantly released not to replace gear but to add on to what you have in most cases. New Weapons however are starting to show improvement like Tamaxchi allowing people to throw away their Arka IV staff. I mean who needs 24% cure potency when you can get 22% off the new club right? As long as you cap 50%? I just wish more gear would allow us this freedom. Especially AF.

Had SE just boosted our stats like Enhancing Magic, Enfeebling etc or give higher stats on gear than make us collect so many pieces just to get small stats to add up to reach cap, then this too would have solved a lot of inventory space. Reason I said in other posts why doesnt SE give us higher -PDT on 1 piece or higher Refresh Tick beyond the 1-2 on a single item? If the quest was hard enough to earn it whats the problem? Not asking it to be godly long like Mythic but thats one example...

Really SoA changed everything. We never had to cap every single skill / ability before SoA.
