more cryptic dev messages D:/

I want news!!!!!

[Tibian]

In A Realm Reborn the materia system will be seeing a revamp and we're planning to announce some interesting details before the beginning of Beta Phase 3, so expect to learn more around then!

Easily the best news to come out of SE in a very long time. Materia system was kind of pathetic and poorly managed to begin with. Looking forward to the new changes they have coming -- whatever they may be.

[Colino]

I'd definitely love to see something like combining materia and rare materia drops.

And I hate to bring up Diablo III because I actually find it quite terrible as a game, but I do like that gem system they have. It's sort of a very long-term goal you can always work on.

I hope its like the Diablo/WoW gem system which is similar to the FF7 meteria system, seemed like a much better way to slot gear and lets you put gems in stuff you get in raids too.

I just want to be able to socket rare/ex stuff.

The OP idea sounds great, u should be in charge of materia system! :3
I'm so tired of waiting for official news, and every time a dev shows up they say ''wait a little longer blabla'' =/

OMG OMG OMG PLEASE PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD AND ALL THAT IS HOLY NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MOREEEEEEEEEE STAT STACKING MATERIA TO GEAR. THAT IS ALL

Yea that was one of my biggest beefs about the old system, you couldn't slot raid gear or AF.

Nah, then crafter's wont be needed don't they? Is fine the way it is suppose to meld in, you do not just simply slot the materia, but you actually have to hammer it in thus melding a materia, not slotting . Just need more innovation to added some flavour.

In most mmos crafters make stater gear or gear thats slightly worse then raid gear and they still could do that.
