Are rings really heavy!!! accessory slot limitations need to go. dev read me now

Im gonna keep this short...

Im a rank 50 still wearing 4 silver rings cause i can wear 4 of them. If i upgrade to a class specific ring i will only be able to wear 3 and when you add up the total attributes you get less at a higher rank.
these are the reasons i could think of that SE has done this to us.
1 rings and earrings are really heavy and would weigh you character down if equipped
2 we are being punished for being to high of a rank
3 they don't want anyone to rank goldsmith

all of these reasons seem absurd and therefore i demand that i be able to wear any combination of jewelry i want.

Also with the abolition of physical lvl these items could help us define our characters.

If you insist on limiting us have it wear high ranks unlocks all slots.

I can fit 100 items in my pockets but cant wear some earrings and bracelets, preposterous.

P.S. please don't respond with your winning combinations and telling me how im not using the system correctly cause i don't care. oh , and for the record its 3 silver rings+1 and a bracelet right now(i think darksilver)

I agree that having a limit on the amount of accessories you can equip NEEDS TO GO.

Currently the development team is reviewing the accessory point system, including the possibility of abolishing the system. However by doing away with the accessory point system and removing the limit, different issues will arise. For example, by allowing players to have more accessories equipped, the value and effect of each accessory will decrease. Also by having more accessories in possession, players can run into storage problems. To prevent these issues from happening, the development team is thinking things through carefully, so it will be a little more time before we have a concrete solution.

We are looking forward to any additional feedback you may have so please don't hesitate to give us your thoughts!

accessory limit as it is currently implemented is dumb, yes.

we have limitations all over, it would feel weird to have no restrictions somewhere in the game, wouldn't it? :D

there are limitations 2hands, 2 ears, 1 neck, 10fnigers, or 8 depending on how you look at.

they only allow for 4 rings and irl i could put 10 bracelets on if i want - there's your limitation

yea, that was posted a long time ago and maybe they forgot about it. Sounds like they were making up excuses(inventory problems, let me handle my inventory, seriously). the fact is they are making a simple fix an over complicated problem. Just remove the limitations, fixed. I think i can manage to keep an extra 3-4 pieces of equipment in my inv.

thanks for the link since i didn't get a chance to read it the first time around, but no new post have been made on since April so lets continue to drive the point home.

also some items may need to be nerfed

This, definitely. I remember when I first found out about the slot cost, I thought it grew as I leveled. I would have been ok with that. But seriously why have all the slots if you can't use them, you know?

haha, i thought the same thing about increasing with lvl. ahhhhh, the let down.

Accessory slots restriction is important for strategy purposes. Its much more interesting you having to pick what to wear carefully instead of just putting stuff at all slots.

The slot cost increase would also be a good idea if done correctly. It would keep balance incase a low rank player equip a high rank accessory...if the dude want to equip an extremely high accessory he will have a penalty due this.

However, the correct way of fixing it would be increasing slot cost as you rank up, in order to players to be able to equip the very same amount of accessories of his rank at any time...If you can equip 6 r10ish accessories at rank 10, you should still be able to equip 6 r50ish accessories at rank 50...and if someone wanna use all slots he just equip lower rank accessories with lower slot cost.

Least make equipping 4 slot accessories better than 3 slot. Example raise the accuracy bonus of electrum rings to 7.
3x7=21>>4x4=16 instead of 3x5=15<<<<4x4=16

i dont mind it personally saves on my inventory space which is limited enough already. But if your thinking why can't I wear these logically due to a weight standpoint, youcan actually carry loads of accessories you just cannot equip them, perhaps equiping more than the set amount would drain your magical power since they are magically imbued with power.

yea, i suggested more slots as you rank up in my initial post. No matter how many slots or anything of the sort you have you'll always have to select carefully.

Yes i know you can carry loads of accessory's as i stated in my initial post about fitting 100 items in my pockets, but thanks for the creative thought.

and for being logical, i was trying to be extra sarcastic as i know sarcasm doesn't translate well through text.

This I find a very nice way to do it. Lower level jewelry would cost less slot points since you have less available and higher ones would cost more since you gain some when leveling up. So you'd be able to choose if you prefer to equip more of lesser level or less of higher level jewelry but they would need to balance them carefully.
