If I understand correctly the CoE change is different in the fact that it doesnt change the values of the items, it chanes the mod that the values point to?

That's what he wrote, review his post before again on page 7.

He edited it to explain the technical details.

Lots of tears

You lose 30% dps big whoop, you're still using the most OP bow in the game with what I'm assuming is an aura spec. I can't wait to see your tears when you see the changes to the passive tree and aura stacking. You need to understand that the balance of the game is bigger than you or me, and the other items wouldn't be legacy either if it was an option.

Try a build which isn't OP, then [generally] you won't need to worry about it getting nerfed.

Hardly, I think the nerf is very appropriate - however, the unevenness of the nerf is questionable.

I will cry myself to sleep because some people have "OP - 30%" Damage afte the Patch......NOT.

There is no such thing. A Mod is a set of stat : value pairs, where the stat is stored in a lookup based on mod type, and the value is stored individually in the item.

Then could you change the stat to reflect changes while keeping the values the same?

Going back to Aegis Auora, if the original mod says "stat:%of ES regenerated on block; <value>", could you change it so the stat was instead "stat:%of ES regenerated on block divided by 2; displayed numbers also divided by 2"? Or can you directly modify the numbers displayed on mods?


Alternatively, are you capable of disabling mods? Another solution could be to disable all legacy mods, make special divine orbs that can only be used on specially flagged items, then distribute them for free in remove-only tabs.

You mean altering the mod the item is pointing to to modify the static value it gets from the item? This would mean that you'd alter this mod for every other item in the game, being an unique or not or letting those other items not being the unique then point to a different internal mod, which would lead to a even bigger downtime.

Thanks for that post, Mark. It clarifies things 100% for me. I take it that no other item or skill is using the mechanic you have to change. Else making such a change might be more problematic.

So now that we put to rest the whole argument of not wanting people to lose their work that they gathered currency to buy their items and it would be unfair to nerf their items bla bla we're stuck with the only argument for legacy items this technical limitations. It takes several days so what do it one at a time. I find it extremely hard to believe you'd have to shut down the entire game to update some items. Every time someone logs out put a flag on their account if 10 min later they are still offline run your silly scripts on all their items while locking the account for however long it takes most likely not hours. Announce this to everyone so they know to expect it and bam problem solved forever. Also every time a trade / legacy item pickup happens run your script or if you really must have the account offline just run another script denying trades of items containing legacy mods. The only reason you're not doing this is because you don't want to. You're not fixing desynch because it would cost you too much money why the hell aren't you fixing legacies? I'm sure the souring of public opinion has cost you more money than you realize and being inconsistent regarding legacy policy will cost you even more image.
