Running around with 500m didn't feel right. Everyone felt this way IMO. I always though that if everything(including money and damage/health) was cut some crazy %, the game would feel better.

Ambrosia posted a vid of a war soloing a dungeon and said they had T12 +12 items across the board is where my question originated from.

When you upgrade an item is there a chance of breaking it and losing it?

Sorry I can't quote I'm typing from a phone.

Right. If you unseal an item regularly, you're allowed to take it up to +9, which are the blue glows. If you manage to lux it, you can take it up to +12, which are the pink glows.

And correct, you can never break an item, you can only go down 1 at a time as well.

So maxing out an item is more an issue of money and luck? Sounds good, systems like this that break items frustrate me to no end.

I'm happy they at least moved on from Aion's system where the break reset you. No idea who approved the change from this system.

Yeah. As long as the RNG isn't bad, you're good to go.

Remember there are quick macro type hotkeys to switch out your weapon/crystals now, so it won't only be about carrying 1 weapon around anymore. People should be rocking weapons with say, normal mob damage +4.5% x3, attack speed +8% x 2, ETC, and switch over to something like damage from behind +5.1% x3, boss mob damage +4.5% x2, ETC for bosses with according crystals as well.

I think because of that, they're gonna tone down the RNG a lot too. Game isn't carrying around 1 set of gear anymore, and for sure they're start capitalizing on that more and more as the game progresses.

Thanks for the responses that answered my question.

actually t12 is strictly level 58, and t12 gold used for upgrades are strictly from dungeons too and are BoP, so you have to be regularly doing dungeons in order to fully enchant out your weapon

Discovering the set of easily swaped macros made me pretty happy indeed. It means I can have different setups for pvp and pve and change them at the right times. Granted, you cannot change sets when you are fighting, but even in surprisse pvp you can run away until you are out of combat, change and fight back.

The set changing works a bit clunky right now though. It requires you to have at least one space clear on your inventory and if you change many pieces, the speed at which it changes them is sometimes too fast to register and even with one slot it may fail half way. This means that to change a full set successfuly with one single free slot I need to press it a couple times.

It's not a big deal, just pointing out the minor problem though.

Is that a thing, now? Can we start using "The Zilart Mistake" as an object now? I like that; I think companies should always remember not to make "The Zilart Mistake".

Got for my friend, thanks for the link.

**Avarice** · 2012-02-22 19:18

Got one for a friend too. I love how these keys just get handed out like hotcakes; kinda wonder why they bother calling it a "closed" beta, lol.

Before all this started and before we had a release date even, the producer at EME (Brian Knox) used to call them "Preview Events". At some point down the line they decided to switch back to "Closed Beta" and "Open Beta", I assume after counseling from the marketing and tech teams.

They are indeed preview events, but hidding behind the name "beta" allows them to have more space for mistakes and failures during the way to release, which is easy to accomodate in the mind of the average drone MMOer if he's under the impression that he's testing an incomplete product, instead of previewing a product.

**Rulke** · 2012-02-22 21:05
