they trying to get the idea of, even godly weapons or the most high rank-ed weapons and armors are not always the best, even they have their disadvantages bwahahahaha
Interesting… It’s very special for a MMO. Best weapons aren’t the best… Logic xD
lol, i meant some god weapons are specialised in specific uses, i don’t see everyone using divine sword x6 in dota games XD
Keep in mind games with refine systems generally lean towards easier to obtain items because you will destroy enough of them your self. All the God items in RO used as examples were accessories or had abilities so powerful they either couldn’t or didn’t need to be refined. I’m opposed to this, i feel like items such as these are out of place in refine system games.
Star isn’t related to rarity(color) of item.
It’s only show tier/level of item. (ex. lv1 = 1 star, lv15 = 2 stars, lv40 = 3 stars, etc.)
Yeah I saw that the number of stars isn’t related to the rarity/grade.
But if stars are only a matter of weapon level like you said (lv1 = 1 star, lv15 = 2 stars, lv40 = 3 stars,…), then STARS ARE USELESS. 
but who doesn’t like stars XD
Haha, you have a point… 
But…
I’m more curious if there will be super rare items where you can literally keep count of how many there are in the server. For years, that was the case in RO where everyone knew exactly how many Megingjards were in existence and who owned each one of them. The only downside to that system is that over the years, naturally more and more people would acquire them to the point where it starts to destroy the balance of the game. It’s one thing where a handful of people can build their characters around those god items. It’s another when it becomes the norm to build around those god items.
see the problem is your refering to “god items” like it applies to any good item. “god item” from RO was a specific type of item that was nearly impossible to get except for the best of the best guilds’ leaders. maybe 3-5 of them existed on the server when I played. they were like 10x stronger than the best items in the game (excluding god items obviously)
my bad, i think i said that wrongly, i meant those less than 10 ever existed in one server weapons over 2-5years, those kind of items doesn’t mean it’d be OP in 100% all situations (unless they actually made one for ToS)
Godlike Equip is refering to the History behind Ragnarok tho and fit into the game perfectly - ToS won’t have “godlike” Equip for sure but probably something exclusive for the best of the best Players (sounds cocky ya but well be the best and get rewarded right?)
Maybe some super special buff called “Blessing of the Goddess” wich increase several stats accordingly to be “godlike - like” until the start of the next “castle siege” and different buffs exist according to wich castle(s) you conquer - this way everybody in the guild benefits from it - and other guilds will have an equal chance in the next castle siege because the buffs run out. Also the Server cannot be “flooded” by this benefit since it isnt permanent like the godlike equip was. And to be honest even if you couldn get your hands on one by playing…your credit card could…i have seen megingjard being sold for above 1000 Euro (years ago) - demand is high but not everybody is willing to sell them. Not to mention Megingjard a couple of MVP cards are worth above 2000 Euro already - at least on European server.
You know one of the reasons why mobas tend to last longer than mmorpgs? You know why WoW was considered a massive success? It’s because there is no “social gap”. Everybody has almost the same chance. Godly items, p2w item malls, duh. You don’t want TOS to be just another mmorpg, do you?

This even the orange items in WoW were very obtainable. I don’t mind good items requiring a lot of work but the requirements must at least be reasonable.
hmmmm godlike weapons inside the world of ToS, could only imagine a wood sword that wont forever break at this point haha~ unless there are godly weapons mentioned in the mythology used for this game, then maybe, just maybe
Maybe something like Diablo 2’s Wirt’s Leg can be an option, as Goddess of Madness’ item 
Accessing to a insane secret place can be fun ^^
Godlike items? you mean someone like me?

Yeah, I agree. It makes everything more toxic. Some person becomes more important and desirable just because of impossible luck with RNG? That’s madness. Lottery winners shouldn’t be given brain and muscle grafts to make them statistically better than other people.
Far better that it isn’t introduced at all.

godly items werent dropped via RNG from farmable monsters, you needed to hold a guild fort and actually achieve something. you needed to hold that fort and pump money into it to build up it’s “economy” which would increase the items you get from it. economy of castles would diminish as that castle switched hands 5 lost per change and with a cap of 100 and you could only invest like 1 point per day or something? i forget. but it took a long time and you could lose all your progress if you couldnt defend the castle. it wasnt just luck. it took the effort of an entire guild, usually even entire alliances of 3-4 guilds over several weeks, just to get 1/10 of the required materials. it wasnt pay to win and it wasnt just luck.
You missed the last part. After that you needed to complete a “10-12” man quest / dungeon under a timer to assemble the items (mind you this was in a later update). Also i say “10-12” because its more like 3-4 well geared players.
