I like the Mystic idea, I like it a lot. I would change it in the following ways, though:
- Useable on all class-specific items. The bonus does not take up one of the 6 potential properties. This would make class-specific items inherently more desireable than generic items. That is a good thing, though.
- Value is rerollable for a lesser cost than the initial cost. Say it costs 2.5 million gold (or whatever) to pick a new skill-specific stat and get a random value. To reroll just the value would cost 1 million gold (or whatever).
- All skill-specific properties are completely removed from the game and available exclusively through the mystic.
I say this because it would also greatly improve itemization to get rid of these item properties from random rolls, but to preserve them through a more-interesting mechanic that also acts as a money sink. It would also allow for a degree of gear customization.
Hey Shaggy,
Thanks for the constructive comment. I agree with you for the amor class item :). I tought about it too when I remembered that babarian skill modification rolls were on the belt. I'll make the modification.
And for the acheivement part .. I agree, I'm not an acheivement fan, but some people are so ..
Sorry my friend ... For me it is just a personal point of view but doing the game 4 time .. is long .. I would rather do it 3 time.
Well inferno was meant to be the difficulty where you are at max level, and can only improve by finding better gear.
In theory this sounds good, however. There is the auction house, and all it takes is a 200k gold investment to survive mp1 inferno. Probably the whole reason they even came with monster power, because the AH made it too easy. I have 5 geared characters with about 5 self-found items, including 2 crafted.
butyeah I'm ranting now. My opinion: the amount of difficulties isn't the problem, it's how they handled it.
I guess if the game had more random event it would feel less anoying to redo the same thing 4 time. If they would put in place the Boss change I suggested it would add some diversity too... The act 1 is pretty polish, but I do not feel that the other are ..
What I don't like is their vision of difficulty is just "number wise" not "gameplay" or "game mecanics" wise.
I don't play much but I keep following forum I think this game have alot of potential ...
How do I add image to my thread ? ... I made some PNG for it .. but when I upload them on an external site and try to link them with the image icone .. It doesnt work .. Strange
