Announcements - 3.20 Balance Manifesto: Jewels and Ailment Mitigation - Forum

" Esubane wrote: Also please remove or redesign Forbidden pairs because right now getting a matching pair in SSF is straight up impossible. The drop rate of those isn't very high to begin with (about 10 percent) and then there are about 100 variations if not more. 1:1000 chance from a boss that takes 28 maps to open isn't happening. If you want the jewel tax on this to remain high (2 jewels) there needs to be a cheap vendor recipe to create the other half. Put 1 half + any other jewel + orb of fusing to create a working pair. A less elegant but still working solution - divine orb rerolls the skill on it. This would be awesome since it would also make the good ones more available to players.

the younger generation of gamers whine about everything lol.. its like they don't care that they sound like entitled children sometimes lol the game was great this league, and the next league is going to be greater still from all i can tell ty for all the hard work GGG :3	Posted by bwinbc#0311 on Nov 15, 2022, 7:34:06 AM Quote this Post
What this post doesn't do is encourage me to play next league... That is the filter GGG should apply when creating posts such as these... From (depressing) experience, what I expect to happen is that the useful unique jewels are removed, and that nothing worthwhile is added wrt. ailments for jewels...

OH you wanted the conquerors efficiency.. get rekt. some of you guys can pog all they want but filtering out worthless jewels is less annoying then chasing shit i need (and not just want). You can't filter out worthless jewels cause they share base type, you need to look at every single one. Oo	Posted by PmLeal#5540 on Nov 15, 2022, 7:55:55 AM Quote this Post
Since your goal is to provide a chance for useful jewels from quest rewards in place of the already useful old unique jewels, consider one rare jewel in each rare jewel reward having a guaranteed fractured life or energy shield on it, or rolled as if fossiled with a few fossils so they're more likely to have synergistic rolls.

You made this far more complicated than you had to and for no real benefit. This could have been much simpler, more effective, and more well-received in just two steps: -re-add harvest jewel implicits -re-balance underperforming unique jewels. Agree with some. But the unique jewels that drop corrupted will probably be able to drop with a implicit corruption. So you dont have to vaal your self and risk to brick it. Otherwise wy would they make them drop corrupted?... Last edited by Rekill#3893 on Nov 15, 2022, 8:22:27 AM	Posted by Rekill#3893 on Nov 15, 2022, 8:21:48 AM Quote this Post
This is actually a good start. Looks promising ngl. Anoints on jewels would be an interesting idea btw. We get so many oils could be a good dump for them.	Posted by arome1#6905 on Nov 15, 2022, 8:23:46 AM Quote this Post
Now jewels are the problem... rly ? Aaaand again problem / solution topic not going to end well. Lets go for 18 jewels now, yep! (and non of them unique ofc) Last edited by kory1979#1755 on Nov 15, 2022, 8:36:31 AM	Posted by kory1979#1755 on Nov 15, 2022, 8:25:52 AM Quote this Post
