Materia fail

[Punainen]

I love the idea of the materia system; but there is one thing that made me frown severely after reading the new article...

When you get to where you can attach more than one materia, if you fail the second-fifth, not only do you lose the materia, but you even lose the gear you were trying to attach it to.

To me this idea seems like an overkill of punishment for a failure. Losing the materia one was attempting to attach would be infuriating enough. But then to lose the gear and all other materia you'd already managed to attach to it? I predict many computers flung from windows in rage.

I'd like to request that the fail punishment be loss of the materia you were attempting to attach (maybe even lose all attached materia), but not loss of the gear itself.

If you agree, please reply to help get the message across.

i agree with it
i dont know why the craft have luck factor??
please retire luck factor is ridiculous, is not hard because dont depend your skill

I can still see a penalty being issued out like maybe you also lose the materia before the one you are trying to add.
ex: you are trying to put you're third materia on but you fail. you lose the third and the second.

or maybe you make it so that a failed materia synth drops the durability down to zero and forcing the player to repair the gear before trying again. in this case you only lose the first materia but need durability of 100% before you can try again

you re speaking of the forbidden mega risky attachment right ? if you re scared dont do it

i remember a similar frustrating system from aion, it was annoying as hell. And the "materia" system seems like a bad copy, nothing new or special about it. Damn how uncreative this game is becoming... sad.

i can imagine someone using a +2 gear in this process and then go F' berserk cause it was completely destroyed.

im not saying to slap a person on the wrist for failing and only making them lose that materia, but don't take a knife to their gut and laugh as you watch the gear and materia evaporate into nothing.

No, I'm talking about the higher rank crafter's ability to attach more than one materia to gear. Nothing is known about the super forbidden materia, so obviously thats not what I'm talking about.

Yes, losing all the materia you had attached/were attaching would be punishment enough. Its losing the gear that would drive me up a wall. Its one thing if it was some crappy NQ low level gear I could get by the trillions...but then why would you attach materia to such a thing in the first place?

Well...i don't think its THAT bad. High risk high return.

Also, IMO they might soon enough add an item that prevent item loss upon attaching multiples materias...its just a matter of time! I just hope its not cash shop related...becausev this kind of mechanics is SO cash shop-like content...

I might wait tho. I do have faith materia system might be a good addition! ^^ I just hope they remove the default attributes from gear with the addition of it...or some armors might become overpower.

Blindly hoping they come up with something isn't going to help anyone. Requesting it though, MAY make a difference. So excuse me if I don't follow your "Well I THINK they'll come up with something to counteract it" approach.
