Relic weapons with additional effects? *rant*

[Minfillia]

This is a very good idea.
I'd like to see like spells like in PvP, let me explain :

We have differrent level of relic from Relic ilvl80 to zeta ilvl 135. Adding new spells or buff why not, but I thought it would be better to add some additionnal traits to the skills we are using just like the level of a skill in PvP. That way, I am main bard so i take example with Bard :
Blood letter critical : would have increased damage, potency of Dots increased.

An other idea would be to add a CD on the weapon so the user gets a special buff/attack.

Ingame equipment definitely misses some additional bonuses, not only relics.

Unfortunately the stats in this game is extremly boring. I bet even players new to mmos agree when they get up to higher levels and realise that new weapons only make you deal bigger numbers and nothing else.

I stopped caring about stats a long time ago and only got the gear I liked to glamour.
An mmo should have interesting stats for end game items imo. And this is the biggest flaw with this game in my opinion (okay the slow paced combat is probably the worst)

As much as I would love to have varying abilities granted based on your race, sex, deity, weapon and armorset, I fear that that will never come to pass for the sake of keeping the game simple.

All these comments here...saying they're trying to keep it simple. You know i am really starting to feel this game is for 12 year olds that are half retarded(at least thats how they make me feel). They nerf EVERYTHING, there is no unique weapons or stats. Dungeons are a race to the finish line, no blood?, some guy gets cut in half and an arm gets cut off..no blood. WE AREN'T STUPID SE, you can take the training wheels off now!.

I still do believe the effects be done in a way that is simple, clean & straight to the point way. I do not agree with treating your player base as if they are kids as im sure the vast majority of us are not.

But anyways back ontop how about giving armor effects? Lets make Elemental Resistances useful? And not just a pointless number. Give gear small amounts of bonus to elementals while at the same TIME making bosses deal HIGHER amount of elemental dmg?

You can make it so each piece of gear gives a small amount to each type of elemental IF they feel it would be too complicated to make a full wind set and a full earth set. :P

To be honest I thought elemental esistances were going to play in with the primal fights... =\

I didn't understood the Fire/Fire II either...

I mean, If you want to put numbers at least do it properly.

Fire III should be Fire II, and Fire II should be Firaga.


And, just to illustrate what people are saying about interesting stats for items :

Exemple of stats from others games :

LOTRO :



WoW : [IMG][/IMG]



EQ2 :



DAoC :

And so on...

If almost every game (included WoW, since they seems to compare themselves to WoW a lot) can do it, why can't you ?

Quick question. Did 1.0 magic weapons have unique stuff? I read here on the forums that they had. So, I don't know. Maybe another ps3 limitation.

when i first started the game i was so confused when i got Miasma II.

I 100% agree with this thread. Please give items a more unique and special feeling.
Additional effects in other games was always something that made the items feel better for me.

I also don't like how all endgame gear minus the crafted is lacking materia slots / such a low cap on stats that you can add to the item...
