Combine HQ + 1/2/3 Please

[Jinko]

To the contrary, those of us with +3 non-dated gear see it as a status symbol. It shows that we're veteran players if nothing else. It's awesome to have a piece of non-dated gear that's impossible to get any more.

Just sounds like Snowflake syndrome, I also have +3 items like that but I couldn't care less if I logged in one day to find it renamed (HQ)

It's a bad idea, it would destroy the economical standpoint of a DoL since they would only be able to obtain NQ mats and possibly HQ shards, but then the system would also have to change where the DOL can get shards/crystals/clusters rather then what they are meant to get which are materials and HQ materials. To just have HQ crystals would simplify the process to a point where they just might as well granta 50% HQ rate whenever you synth lol.

Hardly, HQ crystals would drop just like HQ mats would, and its not just DoL that would gather them they would drop from monsters also.

It doesn't really change anything, yes the HQ crystals would have to be rare enough to make them sought after, I duno where the idea of granting a 50% HQ rate to all synths comes from, strange logic indeed.

They could add interesting mechanics such as HQ crystal only dropping from bosses and very rare gathering locations (think outside the box)

This topic wasn't about getting rid of HQ all together nor was it about changing it to crystals, it's about combing +2/3 into +1, so I don't even know where this whole talk of eliminating it completely came from. Do you really think storing item data is that tough, if that was the case then the game would of had problem storing data for NQ 1-3 for all the items they had released at the start, which isn't the case anymore. If anything we have less items then before because of recent changes, the only issue atm is since +!-3 do the same thing, the OP just wants to turn them all into +1.

Oh im sorry I didn't realise we had to run ever idea past you for quality control.

It's not really just about database inventory either, its also making the game more streamlined and accessible to new players in general.

and most other people probably see it this way too, but I'm really hoping to have one of the few pieces of +3 gear left when 2.0 is rolled out. Yeah it's just town gear, but it's town gear that way down the line that I'll be wearing only to have some n00b come up and say "hey that eye patch is cool, where'd you get a +3?"

Oh I get that, I'm curious if they plan to even keep dated items in 2.0 though.

Guess we'll see.

Besides I though this was mostly above materials and not items.

Would be cool if a community dev could let us know what the situation is with dated gear in 2.0 and whether we will get to keep it in the transfer.

That's the thing, the skull eye patch +3 is a drop, not a crafted item.

I know its still considered dated though right ?
