Would it be that much work to just slightly nerf the UW?

My original thought was to put a level requirement on them and make them 10 or 20% better than the epic of that tier.

More HP a slightly better proc.

I do not thinking completely taking them out of the game is a great solution as people have stated they spent months doing this.

I don't get where I put in there I was going to quit because it takes 3 days to get 5.0.

I did not want to diminish anyone's time they put into getting their UW I was just expressing my concerns for future content and how excited I was to have different things to be working on so as to not be grinding the same thing everyday.

I have just come back recently to EZ server so if something is incorrect in my statement I am sorry but I wanted to give you another perspective on this.

I do not have any UW and was looking forward to having something different to farm.

I was excited to have different things to be working on (T5, ToFS, UC, UW essences).  This makes it impossible for me to get the UW even lower ranks.

My questions for Hunter are did you not intend for people to have an UW at all or just not that high of ranks?
It seems to me the problem is people having too high of ranks (or the weapon getting too good too fast) for their Tier.
Why not put a level requirement on the weapon and/or nerf the weapons some (say 15%).

You also say that you only want 5-10% of the server to have an UW but of the 121 how many were on the same IP?

I would bet alot of the high end players have many UW throughout their characters.   It might only be 10-15% of the actual player base has them.

My last point, how will the next tiers of content be balanced?
Will you make it challenging for those with UWIX's if so what about those of us without an UW?

Current content can be handled without UW people have proved that but what happens in the future?   It seems to me that there would have to be a change in the current UW either a slight nerf to be 10% or so better than the epic associated with that tier.


Just some ideas and concerns I wanted to throw out there

This is purely for self-centered reasons and I understand if it doesn't get changed but figured I would ask anyways.

Is there anyway to have the cyan stones be able to be used as v2 upgrades in the magic box?

This would only be for those of us who stopped playing for a while and came back.  Not sure if theres many others that came back for the halloween event and are running into this as well.

Again, not a big issue but figured I would ask in case it was a very easy fix.

Thanks for your time either way.

Thanks I just wanted to make sure there wasn't somewhere I could turn them in or something.

I was wondering if there was any way to still use them to upgrade charms past 25

Sorry I wasn't clear.

tried combining in magic box and it wouldnt let me.

I came back recently after a long time off and I had a bunch of Red Magical stones that I combined up.

Now instead of using these for charm upgrades and t3/4 spawns you use v2s and Tokens.

you can still turn in Stones to teleporter in poAir to spawn t3/t4 bosses but I cannot use them for charm upgrades.

Is there something I need to do in order to use them as charm upgrades or basicaly I can only use them to spawn bosses?

I was not saying this is unbearable part of the game it just seemed to me a rather easy fix that woudl save everyone a lot of time.  Making it a recipe where you can just click 1 button and it auto inventories.  If it take Hunter a few minutes to add in recipe or make Magic box have that capability it is worth it saving everyone on server a lot of time.

I am not suggesting if this is hard that Hunter should drop everything and focus on this.

It seems to me its a simple fix and saves a lot of time.
Again, I am not a programmer so I am not sure if it is a simple fix.

I had asked Hunter in game and he said the charm upgrades will stay Cyan at this time.  If you believe it from me not him.

Thanks alot Hunter for considering it.  Just be nice to havto just keep clicking the combine button rather than splitting and moving and everything.

Appreciate it.

I was wondering if there was anyway to make the magic box similar to the jewelry kits and forges in crafting where you can search for a recipe, such as orange magical stone, and then click combine and it pulls them from inventory and places product in inventory.

Not sure if this is at all possible i just know alot of people hate all the stone combining and this seems like a relatively easy fix if the magic box can have a similar function as the other crafting containers.

Just adding another point of view but I agree with Xiggie that if you did this it would have to come at the cost of not being able to combine them any further.  Such as you combine 50 sorc and 50 oracle and thats it for the item. 

Where this would be nice is for your pally/sk alts to have sorc/oracle but dont need the same HP as your MT warrior or w/e you use in your group.

I understand it takes away from the others and it does make it easier on the new people coming through but that is how every game goes.  Everything is easier over time and previous content trivialized.

Doubt it will happen but just another point of view.

I am in no way saying that the original behavior is acceptable but I agree with Curry.  LDoN is set up to cause fights.  You have people trying to advance in a zone where others are t3 and such trying to get charms.  It seems like a recipe for disaster. 

With so many people fighting for UC I expect to see more of this because of lack of alternatives.  1 t2 warrior can keep a full LDoN cleared if they have it to themselves.

Just seems that with only 3 instances of each LDoN and lvl 3,4,5,6 being the most popular thats only 12 zones for people to farm credits/charms.

Basically this is worth it for Epic 3.0 b/c you get to run through qvic and you have 15 shots at loot for you.

Is it worth the Time you spend thats up to you.

It is also worth it for 3.5 because think of all the stones/augs you could get while trying to get all the pages.  I mean by the end you would have more than enough stones to summon 4.0 if you could find someone to do that for credits.

No offense to Xiggie in this just pointing out the positives.

Wouldn't an easy fix be to make the cleric epic 3.5 have a 600% healing buff and 4.0 have a 800% healing buff?
It may seem OP but if you think about the cast time that puts them on par with Pallys.  4k heal x 8 = 32k base every 3-4 seconds.

Pallys with 4.0s heal for that every second.

I would also like to see the cleric epics have a spell haste component such as 25% or higher if you can program it in.

This is a very simple fix and its attainable rather htan having to wait for a spell to drop you can progress to this.

As far as the t3 spells go if you are worried about spamming do not jack up the mana cost just put a cooldown on it.  Most games now do 1 big heal thats instant cast with a cooldown say 10-15 seconds then a bunch of smaller heals with no cool downs.
