Even with notification, I'm sure there's going to be plenty of people not knowing what to do and crying about it. Then they're going to want a tutorial for that as well.

Hmm...I suspect that they will have something in place similar to the passive skill notification...a small icon on UI which shows a gem ready to level up...click on it and it opens your inventory, or otherwise highlights which gem is ready to level up	Posted by Castinar#0974 on Nov 23, 2011, 10:56:43 PM Quote this Post
About the Keystones, is there a chance that we can get an example about how those are going to work? .. would stop the speculations in game and perhaps allow some planing ahead already .. as i don't think you guys want to mix the skill tree all over again but put some keystones in(in-between) Thanks There is always a way. If not ... let's make one ;D	Posted by PatBu80#6133 on Nov 24, 2011, 2:25:46 AM Quote this Post

The Option to sell at vendors is in my eyes major important for the future balancing in Orb-Drops and Orb-"Getback" at vendors selling. This option is my most missing ingame at the moment.

Aye, keeping track of up to 30 gems or so will be a hassle, and a UI notification wouldn't solve this. Once you decided to not level up a gem, it would just be there annoying you and being useless to notify you of others. Personally I think capping it at what your current stats allow is the best option, as people can't horde exp into a gem and you don't have to worry about your gems constantly. But this is beta, so we'll be sure to see how it works once it's implemented.	Posted by jcjunglebob#3232 on Nov 24, 2011, 6:07:01 AM Alpha Member Quote this Post
Should be like this: If I have a level 15 gem but want it to function as a level 6 gem I can set it to level 6. But it will earns exp as a level 15 gem and go to level 16 and so on, while being locked as a level 6 gem.	Posted by Vandro#3967 on Nov 24, 2011, 6:36:18 AM Alpha Member Quote this Post

I'd prefer a total wipe, but I suppose passives only is fine :P its NICE you would prefer that but my 45 HC Ranger says NO! i cant wait Chris :) hopefully tho, the patch wont unbalance the game in the opposite direction. i dont really find high lvl marauders too weak tbh.

He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster.	Posted by permaximum#7706 on Nov 24, 2011, 7:39:33 AM Alpha Member Quote this Post

Also, if you cant handle to level up your gems, even if its notified properly, you probably should go to WoW or something. Its like not noticing your HP goes low :D	Posted by DaaCo#4242 on Nov 24, 2011, 7:42:46 AM Quote this Post
