Am I just being silly???? - how do you put 1500 fusing in your inventory???

Like the current vendors, it can take it out of your stash.

As a side note, in the past this has lead to players thinking that they're buying the stuff for free.

Uhm, maybe you should design your own game. Then you can change everything to exactly as you want it.

150 fuses for a 5L.
That's 600 jews at vendor.
That's 1200 alts.

On a good average, identified blue items yield 4 shards.
That's almost 5000 items you have to loot,
identify, vendor, and upgrade those orbs from alts to jews to fusings.


Have fun in the new "self found" league.
That's a pretty brutal demand for a simple 5L, which doesn't turn anyone into proGodMode.
How about you lower that 5L cost to something a LITTLE BIT more reasonable, like 40 fuses?

How many 5links did you craft with less than 40 fusings? What would be the point in using the traditional fuse way then?

6L should be hard to get, the end game mod. Not 5L.

Making a 5L too hard to obtain is nothing more than admitting the game is broken and shallow.
5L doesn't make you immortal, it only makes you a little bit offensive or defensive.
It's not a "infinite ammo/life/immortality autowin item". It's a simple 5L item.
Even a 6L isn't doesn't do that.

So, if you design a game around the fact that obtaining a 5-6L is the hardest and rarest achievement, equal to winning, then you have no actual fucking GAME! You have a LOTTERY.
And that's not what a ARPG should be. RNG should be a part of it, but not the center of it!

"Well I guess he has the most dpd, maximum support gems linked in 6 sockets.
Nothing more to see or do here" --- *flies away* ---
Is that anyones idea of a good, deep game?? I hope not.

As I suggested in other posts, Linked gear should be far more common, and have a level req.
lvl 1-9 0L, 10-19 2L, 20-29 3L, 30-39 4L, 40-49 5L and lvl 50-100 6L.
Progressive learning curve and resource management, also giving you something to look forward and motivate players to hit that next tier lvl to unlock more linked sockets.

The game should focus on working out complex and rewarding freestyle combos, more different build with a greater variation and cross over designs. Redesign gems, skills, the passive tree... but instead of working on those things, the most interesting aspects this game has to offer, we are all forced to focus on *winning the lottery by crafting the big one*.

6L has almost reached a unquestionable status of a semi god that everyone blindly worships and desires without really even knowing what for. I don't care about anyones opinions, because the truth is, this is not a good design for a ARPG game, it's a good design for a Lottery. And if that's what you want, you shouldn't be here but at a gas station buying those tickets.

Seriously. It's at this point where I compare a few people here with the LoL community
