How Divination Card Submission Will Work
" I belive the answer is nearly no. In that, if an item can only drop with invasion Zana mod, then your card will likely only drop with invasion Zana modded zones... And if the item can't drop at all anymore, because they don't want it like that in the game, then you're likely out of luck there too. |

" But the cards for very rare things will still be very rare, so it's not like everyone will be wearing Shavs. Instead, it'll be easier to trade for pieces of one, and hopefully not get as price gouged as when buying the real completed thing. |
|
" Just Coke can cost $1000-$3000 a year; and not even the good kind. |
|
" Someone can create an item for the unique. Someone else for the Corrupted unique. And others for the cards that give the aforementioned cards, so there is some room for multiple items relating to any given unique or etc. But it would be smart of GGG to put the unique items into a "being considered state", and to talk to the unique creators to make sure they didn't want to call dibs on any such thing. Not that I have any actual uniques, but I'd understand the courtesy. |

What about alternate Art items? i would like to create a Card that gives you the possibility to get an alternate art item, to not reduce the value of actual alternate art items it could be a special sort of item like a "replica" those have no stats and can only be used with a skin transfer, that would also increase the sales on skin transfer MTX. ^^
There are way to many beauty full alternate art items that no one will ever see bc no one uses them. :/ Its a shame to let them collect dust. Also Legacy items in my opinion should not be that much of a deal, ppl act like they where broken even tough ppl played with em for years and it hardly made any difference. It would also be great if GGG would create a website where we can see what Items are no longer available since there are already cards for it... just sain... :/ |

The influence of divination cards on the role and importance of trading in the game is interesting.
On the one hand, if you need a medium-scarcity build-enabling item, you may be able to farm it and avoid trading. On the other hand, drop rates for items will need to decrease when divination cards can also produce them, so your chance of finding certain uniques if you DON'T farm the cards will actually be worse. Furthermore, when not farming a given area, you'll be finding divination cards but not completing sets. Therefore, the necessity for trading will in fact increase: both to get items that you're not card-farming, and to get value out of cards you find but don't expect to get get full sets of. Also, for top-tier items, I can't imagine that it will be realistic to farm entire sets*. Rather, you can farm for some cards, and either sell them (so you're basically farming for currency - which you get by trading), or buy more (so you're basically still trading to get the item, hopefully with less obnoxious sellers - and you could do this without actually farming yourself). *Imagine an individual card for a Shav's being as rare as an exalt. Now imagine trying to farm dozens of exalts in ONE area. No way. |

i would like to know what the rarity disparity is between the card and the item. im assuming the actual item is more rare than a card, but how much more...
also, are cards effected by rarity or quantity or both? -HeaT youtube.com/heatfury twitch.tv/heatzgaming Last edited by HeaT1#1508 on Apr 30, 2015, 12:32:15 PM

A divination card for item quantity or block chance reduction could be cool because it can't be dropped

" It will be awfull limited, but the Cards are going to be awesome :D - Random Unique Jewel with Corrupted Implict - One of each kind currency: scroll to eternal - Topaz, Ruby, Sapphire Flask with 20q and two random max rolled affixes (kind of lame though) ... I think every one that buys a package that expensive should get at least two card submits. I don't have the money, but what I would so is: Create a new Unique which is as said in the text only obtainable through a divination card. The card pieces drop only from specific bosses. For example Atziri drops the Atziri part of the card... that does not work since a card is a card and not a fragment. To bad. Else I would make them to kill all map bosses for cards. :D But what you can do is: Create a Card which require 1 of every other existing card in the game. With auto update when somebody pushes a new card to the game. |

Some of these parameters seem... pretty limiting.
Am I to understand that if I were a Highgate supporter, I can't specify a card with parameters like: Returns a rare piece of Gold Jewelry (gold ring OR amulet) with guaranteed item rarity affixes. Or a similar, specifically themed card? Or am I merely misunderstanding something? |
