    Detruncate posted a message on Ramalandi's Gift: Counter-intuitive?
    While glossing over the vast replies I would like to point out my favorite suggestions.


    Quote from st0rmie

    Would it stem the flood of hot angry tears in this thread if Ramaldini's Gift was changed to: "Add a socket to a weapon; if the weapon already has a socket, instead add a random primary affix" ?


    Quote from Solmyr77

    Well, maybe this is a sign. When D3 launched, they had turned the sockets from an innate, random property of items into an affix and that's been the reason why they couldn't just give us a quest to add a socket as many players had asked for.

    Now with this new item type that adds an affix to an item (out of a pool of only 1 potential affix ;) ) they might as well go the distance and remove sockets from the affix pool and use the D2 model again. That'd mean, every item capable of having sockets would roll with a random amount of them independent of all other rolls. And then we could use the rama-gift or other PoE-like stuff to modify these sockets.

    These although slightly different would work in my opinion. As with stormie's succinct suggestion it forgives the fact that rolling an innate socket could be damning for the item's lifespan. A seemingly simple fix that would squeeze into the current design.

    However what I would like to see is the resurrection of the Diablo 2 socketing system as suggested by solmyr. Removal of sockets from the affix pool, yes? It would be a revamp of the current system complete with its share of invalidation no doubt.

    Certainly not impossible. Certainly improbable. ^_^

    It would either have to be really constrictive, as Spiralphoenix5 pointed out, or very well thought out. I don't have much faith in the latter coming from Blizzard. Time constraints, current focus etc. For the sake of conversation; IF it could be done? Yes! I would appreciate the addition. To become empowered by a set of tools to create my own content is a nice touch. It would have to be distinct enough to stand on its own and not immediately be compared to a rift. Otherwise there would be no point.

    I say share your idea(s).

    Clever topic.

    Thundergod's Vigor for my Barb. *wrings fist at Kadala 4k shards later* Even going that extra mile to logging on my Crusader to avoid mighty belts. -_-

    The sense of personal progression again!

    Getting that legendary so that i can switch up my Build again for the N:th time

    More achievements to hunt to keep me going for a long while longer.

    level more characters trying out different skills at different levels, just having fun

    Collecting all Transmogs, patterns, ect.
    Precisely my reasoning. I would like to add that in the PTR my WD stumbled across a Ren'ho Flayer. Its special affix, without spoiling anything, was clever and enticing. To me it is at least. As a preface to that discovery I had funnel vision that precluded me from venturing from my comfort zone. Same build, same result, same ennui. That one item made me rework my skill set. For ten or so levels I thoroughly enjoyed that knife. Until... I outgrew it. :P But! I still look for it, even on the PTR, that means nothing in the long run. That one item has me excited for other possible finds that challenge me to change how I play.

    Long time lurker, first time poster. All the times I've ended up here to read over threads and news and never registered. Shame on me. In any case hello everyone.

    As a FYI to staff: When I made this account the link to the ToS next to the check box was a dead one. So if there were any mentions of fees, legal representation or first borns, you guys lucked out supremely.
