Combine HQ + 1/2/3 Please

[Airget]

You don't think the addition of HQ crystals (36 in total including shards and clusters) would be better from a server database point of view than doubling all/most of the raw materials in the game ?

It's easy to come into a thread and go "phsst this thread is silly" it takes a bit of thought to give constructive feedback though, guess thats why there is so little of it on these forums.

There is a saying "If you have nothing good to say, say nothing at all"

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.

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.

Honestly the easiest method to do this would be to just put an NPC into the game that will exchange your +2/3 items into +1, you give it to the NPC he'll see if it's +2/3 then trade you back the same amount as +1. That would be the simplest solution, the other 'solutions" just degrade the gameplay value for crafters and DoL and take away from the game rather then help it.

no point in doing this, people just need to use them and they'll be gone.

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)

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)

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?"

[TheVedis]

There is no good reason to combine these at this point

you cant get them anymore, all thats left is old ones, so why petition for those who want their +3s still to lose them? which is essentialy what this is

dont like the +3 you got? vendor it and be done with it and never worry about it again

[Zyph]

Wait, didn't they already do this?

he doesnt want what they did
he wants them all removed period so he doesnt see +2 or 3 anymore

Well then I disagree with what OP wants, epeens must be protected. Since they can't be made/gathered anymore, players with +2/+3 gear should be allowed to keep them if they want. Aren't they considered "Dated" anyway? Isn't all "Dated" gear being removed before 2.0?

dated gear isnt being removed

its just unable to be made anymore with the changes

Ah, that's right, they're removing the recipes.

Well, then I say people with +2/+3 dated gear should be able to keep their items.
