General Discussion - 0.9.3 Updated Progress Report (final update Nov 13) - Forum

" Dreggon wrote: Regarding upgrades: as far as I can tell, the potential explicit mods that you can get on an item are dependent on the base level of an item (so we won't see +150 accuracy explicits on a level 2 item). That being said, some of the lower- to middle-level rings might have an optimal range of stats on them. The explicit mods are based on the generation level of the item (usually the level of the monster/chest that dropped it). So if a level 60 monster drops a OneHandSword1, then that low level/damage item could get large mods like +120% physical damage. This helps us have some junk items (a lot of them have to be terrible in order for players to feel good about the great ones they find). It also means that players can find good items with low attribute requirements. The items do inherit level requirements from the high level mods. This is pretty consistent with ARPGs. " Dreggon wrote: Will we see different, higher-level versions of these rings (e.g. both level 20 and level 70 versions of a ring will give between 20% to 30% fire resistance)? The higher level rings would allow for vastly stronger explicits, though I don't know how the low-level version would be valuable to a high-level player. Perhaps a currency item that boosts the low-level item to a high-level one, and increases the numerical values of explicits currently present on the item to appropriately match the new high-level status of the ring? This would mean a relatively new player could find a very nice item that would be useful to a veteran high-level player if the veteran boosted the item's level requirement with some currency items. As far as I can tell, this could match your design intent. Boosting low level items to high level ones is a pretty dangerous thing to allow, but we do have some plans to allow it in a very limited way. Lead Developer.

The other calculators may not be necessary. Having said that, it's great to see the community make awesome tools and we really appreciate the effort you guys put into this kind of thing :) Awesome. I would likely wait then until I see what you cook up, as the ability to see your own character current skills, etc, would be awesome. The only reason I asked now was because I want to plan out my 0.93 character :p	Posted by namespace#7109 on Nov 5, 2011, 1:02:35 PM Alpha Member Quote this Post

lol the skill tree is gonna be insane!!!!! but its nice :P Just wondering, in this patch will there be 2 handed dual weilding and new skills for the marauder? Also playing the marauder with 2 handed swords doesnt really benefit him considering there are a lot of spells he can't use . Hope u guys see this and can respond :) GGG = epicness !!! i <3 this game :P	Posted by parianen#6561 on Nov 5, 2011, 3:36:30 PM Quote this Post

Looking forward to that beta invite ramp up :D And the update in general. Hopefully the skill tree is better balanced this time around.	Posted by AwwMuffin_#3153 on Nov 5, 2011, 6:40:11 PM Quote this Post
