Those replica items are such a lazy idea, it's pathetic....

There is so much trash in the game that could be revived (yes, especially items!) that it could hype people just like those ultra uncreative replica items apparently do. But instead of reducing the overall trash...we get more trash...and even less creative trash....they didn't even have to make new unique item designs this time...saved money there.

bricked shroud seems terrible at a glance

if they make some extremely busted replica abyss helmets that make spirit charges good then that's a different story

I think the alternate uniques are actually amazing in the sense that there have always been niche builds who needed 1 or 2 things to be different to make the item work for the build, and now those items will offer up that variety to expand the build horizon. Instead of looking at the glass as half empty and being pessimistic, just think of the possibilities being created by having alternate ways to play with each unique. I for one think there will be alot of builds that find niche ways to use the reworked uniques and that it will be alot of fun, rather than there just being a 5 build meta that everyone decides to follow. the only downside i see to it is SSF players who will have more things thrown at them to make them wanna change their build or level a new toon, cough cough raizqt

The glass was half full for the first 6 years ;-)

You know, what you are saying is actually, to quite some extent, my point. But why do it with the idea of Replicas? There are enough trash items in the game that could be improved instead.

They announced a rework of many unique items just recently and that rework was not good at all. And now replicas....Why not do a better job in the first place? That would get people hyped as much as replicas do. Failed the rework and calling it replicas now...tsss.

Can you use a gemcutters prism to up the quality of an alternate quality gems just like you would a normal gem? Or will there be special currency item added to do this.
