Allowing Gear Change in Active Mode

[Molly_Millions]

1. This is where you have to judge which "macro pieces" are worth it to carry with you.

It's more a matter of when you need to make those choices, and it's more difficult to do if "all of it" is not one of the options available.

2. Why does this matter? I guess for an aesthetic feel that has nothing to do with battle mechanics.

It is purely aesthetic, but aesthetics are considered during game development.

3. What's wrong with people wanting to enhance their damage etc.? And if you don't want to do it, then don't do it. Nobody is forcing you. And if you complain about it and don't do it, then you are like a fat person complaining about being fat yet you eat horribly and don't exercise.

Nothing is wrong when only one person does it. However, you and me both know that as soon as one person does it and it works for them, almost the entire community does it, which leads to those who don't either being gimped in the best case, or shunned from groups in the worst case.

4. Again, I don't see how this has anything to do with the situation. Whats the difference between choosing a gearset on a specific move, instead of choosing a gearset on a specific battle. It adds more depth to your abilities and skillful play.

see my response to number 1. I argue that it adds depth elsewhere in the game to NOT use gear swaps.

5. If gear changes slow you down, then you are bad.

not true. whats faster, this:

/equip hands "Some Gloves of Might +1"
/wait 1
/ac "some action"

or this:

/ac "some action"


I rest my case.
