Just a suggestion about gear

[cntrlaltsup]

First of all: thanks to our devs who made possible the return of this amazing game =)

In old WaR days, when a mob dropped you a item it wasn't the "full item", it was a "damaged one" what you could repair and get your "bloody pavise" or whatever it were.

So, how about if devs could implement that feature ?

This way, the game would be a little less grindy.

Yes, I understand every effort must focus on develop T2 and bug fixing but, please, don't forget PQs and Influence rewards. It was a nice way to gear forward rvr.

Just my two cents.

I think that it's a good goal to implement that.
It was a cool thing, not all itiem were broken but broken itiems could be traded and you recived the correct itiem for the classes that repair it and not the classes that dropped it. That was an extremly good idea dam.
I think it's a war unique feature.

New to this Emu, got my AM to level 12. Started farming gear, 2 hours later barely gotten anywhere. Went back to RvR Emp lake and random guy gave me all his stuff. Seems like the drop rates are pretty low, especially since its no guarantee you will get a class item for your character. I'm not saying make it easier, but War was never about grinding some random no name pixy in the forest for hours on end to progress.

Increasing the drop rate on NPC's, and implementing pvp drops would be amazing.

Hello,

@labotimy and following people

this is a topic about a suggestion and not about a new discussion about new droptables and lootlists.

Thank you.

Yeah that was a pretty cool feature.

Greetings

Could anyone explain in more detail about OP suggestion/what was on live with 'damaged to-be-repaired drops' ?


PS.yeah I would welcome bit higher drop rates

Sotora, there were lots of items that were just something. Some broken green or blue item with a strange name. Some classes could see something else when they clicked on it. It suddenly was a blue item or even epic.

In sewer dungeon, for instance, dropped blue items (that appeared to be green for most players) but could be repaired to blue lvl 14 shoulders, heads aaaand something I forgot. In land of the dead, there were repairable blue drops, that could be repaired into an epic chalice with two slots for souls for example.

If you wanted to repair the item, you went to a trader, clicked on repair single item, clicked on the item in your inventory and suddenly something cool was there. Though, most gear was ofc rather green.

It was gear that you can repair into something useful for your class. This way, no matter what the drop is, you always get something your class could use.



Ror currently does not support handling of repairable items. Can be added in the future.

It would be something nice to bring back, and would not only help mitigate the current gear grind but would also reduce need to keep spamming for a trade until you get a bite.

It would be. Repairable gear was also very popular on AH. Allowed people to quickly jump into T1 and be competitive without need for long grind.

@ Noirre & Londo

Well that seem like very interesting system then and I would gladly see something like this on the server. On the other hand it also seem like a lot of scripting, so I guess It does not seem likely that it will come soon

Anyway something to lessen the current soul-crushing grind would be nice.
