Mind, lost.

As long as they don't obsolete or trivialize the MF on existing gear. I just completed a complete re-gearing of my monk today to the tune of 30M gold and every piece that could have MF has it. If that affix becomes suddenly useless I'm gonna have a cow LOL. Not that my gear still won't be good but I could only imagine what better combat stats I could have had without paying the MF premium on each piece. Having said that, I'm excited to see what they have in mind for us.

The experience you don't get past 60 could absolutely be used to fuel bursts of high MF or something. That actually sounds kinda rewarding

I really want to know what these are all about. But with all the security problems that happened today i doubt we will hear about them soon. I was hoping they would start Friday but i doubt that.

Actually come to think about it they should do them right now. They have so many people modding their forums they could just do a clean sweep on everything

That actually makes complete sense imo....

Add in hero levels that do nothing but increase your MF value. Every hero level gives +5% Static MF....

1.) +Exp on kill and helm socketed with a ruby wouldn't be worthless....
2.) The longer and more you play... the better and better drops you earn.
3.) If you are unlucky on a grind run you can at least grind away some of a hero level and have accomplished SOMETHING.

Level past 60, eaach level adds to your MF? who knows...

See, that would be a gamebreaker if they actually implemented more end-game!

Yeah, and made a ladder out of it. So it'd be reset every six months or so.

No Thank you - Having to grind out MF levels every 6 months sounds annoying ... especially when you need to do that on all of your level 60 characters.

"Levels of excellence" sounds like "your student is a good citizen at this elementary school" hackery.

swap gear lose 2 NV
death lose 1 NV
get pwned in A1 A2 lose 5 NV

Oh, I wish for it to be something alongside that hero levels idea but I don't want to get my hopes up too much.

haha, when I saw levels I was thinking something to level past 60.. oh ohhhh

Level past 60, eaach level adds to your MF? who knows...

Yeah the name does sound like a permanent buff to MF or something. Sounds like a nice idea to me, both for helping with magic find and with game life.

also 25-30 stacks of NV reduces the Cool downs of your spells by 25%

Do you realize how overpowered would that be? As a melee mage I would be able to keep every boss/elite_pack perma-frozen in frost nova.

Quote from rawerpower

For MF on gear to not become obsolete NV should become a multiplier of your MF after level 5+. NV should give you 75% of your MF, instead of +75% and increase level by level.

Disagree, I have 0 MF but still like having NV.
If it were as you said I would have 0*1.75=0

Just don't mess with my gameplay related gear swapping please

"Levels of Excellence" makes me think there will be a strict penalty for swapping out any type of gear. I hope they aren't dumb enough to implement a NV type system with gear swapping. You found an upgrade? You just lost your Levels of Excellence sucker!

I'm more interested in hearing more info but a bit more scared now... ::crosses fingers::

Quote from Formoor1986

for each +100% mf you will get a specific boost, for instance:

100% mf = +10% movement speed,
200% mf = +10% reduced damage
300% mf = +10% damage

I'd be ok with that, as long as 400% mf gave me a guaranteed lvl 63 on every elite pack/boss kill.

I did the same on my DH with every single piece costing 30M or more

I doubt though it's anything similar to the IAS fix because IAS was completely ridiculous before the change, sucks for people who got weapons and saw the weapon DPS drop but wearing only blue items with nothign but IAS and MAYBE mainstat was ridiculously overpowered and as a DH I'm glad it got fixed.

Quote from FreddyBenson

an extra 25 levels, max level is 85

each level increases your NV buff total, so for example you hit 61 your NV stack max's out at 6
so 85 will give you an extra 25 stacks, bringing your max NV stacks to 30, 30 x 15% =450% MF through NV

also 25-30 stacks of NV reduces the Cool downs of your spells by 25%

that was... ahhhh... sorry dude... it'll never happen

If this is only a fix for the NV lost when changing acts all hope on D3 is lost.
