Equipment is uninteresting

General Discussion
#1

I just wanted to share a general feeling, and ask how you were feeling about it.

I feel that interesting equips are very rare, and I don’t feel any need, or don’t have any motivation in finding new equip pieces (adapted to my lvl) for most of the equip parts.
The STATS offered by most of the equips are really low, sometime non-existing. Most of the equips only give stats in term of def/eva, and the rest really seems unimportant.

Why isn’t there more rare equipment, with really game-changing stats? There’s nothing I feel like farming, no equip makes me feel like it’s really going to make a difference… (except from a few 270 I can see on the database).

Any thoughts on this? I’m talking mostly about armor equips, as weapons, necklaces and bracelet are “OKish” (still not that good)

Complained since cbt

Good to know, actually I hoped for better in higher levels. Any idea if this is always going to be this way? I mean 330, and even post 330

#4

depending on your class, there should be more cool stuff starting 170.

#5

I personally really like stuff with critical resistance and/or evasion.

Even on a zero dex character I can achieve considerable dodge rate in pvm using Shade top / pants and a good boot. For a dex build Shade set works mostly for the critical resistance (again, in pvm).

Stuff with AoE attack ratio (Light Plate, Roxona Gauntlets, Vubbe’s fighters gloves) are also welcome.

Mobs at high level tend to crit a lot too, and a critical hit from something that hit you normally for 3k damage is not fun.

After those things, I look for gear with max hp or CON.

I think they should balance things out because by higher levels additional HP armor sets overshadow the others. They are following Diablo 3’s armor sets centric gameplay.

When I think about it, the itemization of this game is another really big flaw of it. There just isn’t much to enjoy about equipment hunting in this game or equipment finding in this game most of the time compared to other action RPGs such as Diablo, Grim Dawn, or Path of Exile. I’m not completely sure why. Maybe it’s because equipment doesn’t make much of a difference in most cases or because it needs to be hunted for in overly-specific RNG based spots (Cubes, world boss camping, Siauli Mission…) and when you do get it, instead of making your character become “WOW!”, it’s like “Yay, my attack now does 20 more damage per hit” or “Now my skill might hit one more enemy in its AoE effect.”

It is just that kind of game i think. EQ isn’t that important - i think attributes are more power-wise.

#9

Hmm, that’s true. …and in a game without class resets. If I didn’t already know from experience of playing this game, telling me about that would have made me roll my eyes and sarcastically say “Yea, that’s going to go over well.”

Even attributes in most cases are kind of boring. The few interesting ones that do interesting things get maxed really quickly and then it’s like, “Hey, let’s spend aaaaaall my money to increase the damage of one skill by 1%!”

You play it or hate it or both ;]

#11

So far, as a new Player, i enjoy the itemization of the game. The effectivness of a class or class combination is more defined by the skill and statbuild and less by Equipment.

#12

Does OP want equipment with really massive stat gaps like those Dragon Nest? :smiling_imp:

#13

The new 315 weapons may change that, most of them increase stats by a lot (60int, 80 con) and have high matk/atk.

#14

still no scaling to Str/Int…

Dex Con is new Meta for swordman/Archer!

#15

I’m sicken tired of grinding dg240 to complete the Vitrov set, I got almost everything of cloth and leather but only one plate, the one I need, It’s starting to look like a joke, and the bonus is not a big deal either. And maybe, when rank 8 arrives, vitrov set will be garbage, the same with max petamion, sissel, gladiator band, etc. I’m starting to doubt if it’s worth my time.

#16

no need to doubt, because that is fact.

It doesnt worth the effort coz content come faster than farming the item itself, making it redundant

i was suggesting rank8 can wait next year, around June2017, but people bashing me saying 'OMG TOS SO BORING, NOTHING TO DO!" when the game just released this year march, f2p april.

lelz

imho, IMC releasing content so fast that on year 2020, TOS might have to travel to outer space and start fighting in x-wings coz content is saturated.

time to make TOS futuristic !

Well, exactly my thoughts !
And BTW, I am lvl 230, so I don’t think it gets better from 170. I like other aspects of the game, skills, attributes and classes are fine by me. But I’m really disapointed that we have no stuff that really make a difference. Maybe the problem is, as you said, that you don’t feel like farming for a specific item as well though cubes and dungeons. I just miss the feeling… ><

#18

Well they could certainly put different style of rapiers. The only thing that is changing with that blasted toothpick is the cup hilt design and color.

krausus mace is “interesting” increases your dps by like 200%
