Linken.6345 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Why do we really need more power creep? Just so you know Anet may be owned by a korean company but that dont make this a korean grind game like Aion bud. 4 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firedragon.8953 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Honestly, I'd rather battle systems stop providing more (needless) power and instead provide fresh battle mechanics. So, taking your idea as a base, something like imbuing weapon with powder, stones, etc. to change weapon skills. For example, as a warrior I can imbue my greatsword with Silver Dust and a Stone of Intinerant and this would then change my Hundred Blades skill from an rooted meme and into a mobile instant cast skill called Beserker's Bane or something. Each one handed weapon of exotic grade and above can be imbued with one of these "enhancements" and two-handed weapons with two (allowing for a max skill change of 2). Could even make stuff like Stone of the Mesmer, etc., which would give you one of the mesmer's weapon skills. I don't want any weapon break mechanics, this just screams Korean grindcore gameplay. Make stones craftable by ewelers and dust craftable by artisans, with dust/stone combinations changing effects (e.g., which mesmer skill you can select with Stone of the Mesmer for example). A nightmare (impossibility?) to balance I'm sure, but man...would this be fun as hell. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuzuru.3651 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 I only saw those systems in p2w bad game, and it's always bad. I didn't ever think there was actually someone who like those systems... Obviously, it's a big no on my part. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 I remember one of the selling points of GW2 being that the crafting system didn't work like this. They promised before launch that crafting an item would always succeed and would always make exactly the item you intended to make, with no RNG or risk of it breaking or any of that. I can't see Anet going back on that now, especially not for the sake of adding yet more power creep at a time when many players are already complaining about it. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega.6801 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 (edited) No. Many games out there have systems like this, maybe try out one of them. Many players here play GW2 beause of the lack of such a system in this game so pls don't bring them here. Also, no.

No, thanks. It's one of those korean grinder mechanics that (for me) makes the game so much worse. 4 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanAlcedo.3281 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 That would make me insta quit the game. I would not even go to the forum to complain. Just uninstall and never talk about gw2 again. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urud.4925 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Ah, the memories... spending hundreds of hours killing mobs until an enchantment stone dropped in Aion, then using it on your weapon... and puff, it broke. Then people sent ticket to have it restored, and worse thing, sometimes it worked, because Support didn't know it was a feature and not a bug. I think it was around the patch 5.2 (Beritra?) when they introduced breakable gear. One of the biggest player drop in years. Even in that heavily p2w Korean MMO players hated it (I think they removed the breakable gear in later patches, but I already stopped to play it). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see Anet going back on that now, especially not for the sake of adding yet more power creep at a time when many players are already complaining about it. Yep. It was at the time one of the main reasons I left LoTRO to try the beta here, since they had a lot of this nonsense, crit chance items you had to collect and have while crafting, scrolls you add for yet more stats, level upon level on legendaries, ugh! was pretty tedious. ESO also has a fairly busted system on gear and weapon enhancement where, on top of playing the RNG game for a drop, you still have to either farm mats for ages or cough up ungodly amounts of currency to buy the enhancement mat you want to improve the item you get, if it isn't top tier. It was part of why I was raiding 24/7, to avoid all that and instead (just pray to the RNG god...) go for a BiS drop vs having to enhance lower quality items from other content. Op, your idea might seem fun to you but trust me, no game that ever does this stuff ends up with people who are happy with the crafting system like this. As is, we work hard enough on collections to earn the items we achieve. If I had to add something to mine and risk breaking them after all that, I'd throw the game out to window! 😂 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiki.9450 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 One of the most attractive things about GW2 to me is that it has very little vertical progression. I'd prefer we keep it this way and avoid further power creep. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilcat.6817 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 But... WHY? No idea what it would improve. It is already annoying to gear up into ascended level and then filling infusin slots for +5 stat. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoughts? Thanks Vegas *.* I know that feature from Lineage II. Enchantment increases damage/power of the weapons. In GW2 it would boost the stats it comes with artificially. It defies the concept of non vertical progression and would ruin the theme of legendary gear as the best gear in the game. The system had its bright side, as you manage do reach the 'goal' multiple ways. If you enchanted a low-grade weapon high enough, you could reach the same or even better stats than a top-grade weapon. But in GW2 this is pointless. Exotic gear is way too close to ascended gear and there is no difference in stats between ascended and legendary gear. Exotic gear is cheap in GW2! The costs to enchant a green or blue weapon high enough to rival exotic gear would be hilarious. If you have trouble acquiring exotic and ascended gear, we can help you. No need to ruin the system. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
