[dev1244] Accessory Reform, discussion

[Colino]

I think they should've at least kept the ears as two separate slots, but whatever.

I'll wait to see how the accessories actually are, but as of now I really can't see much of a difference between slot cost and reducing slots (they conveniently did not tell us this until now, while they have been saying they would remove slot cost just to get everyone excited).

This guy prolly said what i meant in an easier way.

I don't know if i'm reading the post right, so maybe someone can enlighten me?

* 1: With the exception of the moonlet, an equipped pair of earrings will appear on both ears.
* 2: With the exception of the patriot’s bracelet, an equipped pair of bracelets will appear on both wrists.
* 3: Rings will be worn on the index finger in patch 1.21. In the future, however, rings for the ring finger will also be added.

Does that mean, by equipping 1 earring/wristlet, I get a pair of earrings/wristlets, or will I need a pair of earrings/wristlets in my Inventory. If its just 1 earring/wristlet required, will I benefit from double the stats, since it will look like i'm wearing a pair of earrings, or will it just be the stats from 1 earring?

I only ask, because the example recipe change says "Bone Armilla" not a pair of Bone Armilla's

I think it means you have 1 item in your ivn, 1 slot to put that item in. On your avatar both ears and wrists will show the equipped item. keeping it symmetrical I suppose.

Except for the moonlet earring and the patriot wristlet, which will only be on one side.

I don't really care about this changes, also it was probably easier to balance 5 accs rather than 12 accs.

A system I would have prefered to have seen implemented:

1) Keep the current 9 slots / 12 slotcost system.

2) Slotcosts don't increase for types of items.
For example: a level 1 ring will have a slotcost of 3. A level 50 ring will still have a slotcost of 3.

3) A better increase of stats of higher level item. You will always want a combination of higher level items over a combination of lower level items!

4) HQ Items: slotcost -1.
Combined with the previous ring example: a normal ring would have slotcost 3. A HQ ring would have slotcost 2.

With your idea you couldn't possibly use 9 slots anyway so whats the big deal? even with a 2 slot cost on everything you could only use 6.

This is a good change 5 slots is realistic enough for me I hate characters who look blinged up to the eyeballs

The point was never to fill up all the slots. The point was to be able to pick the items and stats which you personally want. That whole freedom is will be gone.

Besides you missread their concept. There is a lowering in slots but the amount of bling bling is increased to max setting.
