Fusing Horror Stories
" No what i am saying is if they changed it to some form of guarranteed success after x curency invested, like some people suggets here, all the thrill of luck and frustration of bad luck is gone. Its just a boring streamlined experience then. Dont take away the rush to gamble a 6l item, no build is unviable with just 4 or 5 links. 6l is aluxuary not a neccassity, people just expect to reach luxuary items even if the point of them is beeing extremely hard and unlikely to obtain. |

" I agree that 6L are a luxury and having it be RNG only is understandable though I believe having a very tough to complete recipe would be better. A lot of people aren't gamblers, the rush you feel sickens us. We don't get a high off of it but, instead, pray that we don't lose currency. There are other ways to get a rush in an ARPG that doesn't involve gambling. Also, even if 6L was RNG gamble only, 5L are almost a necessity nowadays. I would say put a recipe in for 5L. Don't make it easy, but have it there. Nothing leaves me feeling grimmer than reading a tale of someone only wanting a 5L and spending tens of exalts trying for said link and failing.

I agree with a set price for getting a 6L from the vendor. Make it 1,000 fusings or something.
Either that or make fusings drop like scrolls. The values in this game are ridiculous. The most valuable orbs in the game are crap. Duping an item with a mirror that costs 135 exalts? You have to be smoking crack. How many months of your life are you willing to waste just so that you can generate some pixels on a screen? Where is the fun factor? Is GGG in cahoots with Paxil or Effexor? |

This is fusing HORROR stories, people. Jesus christ.
So much e-peen going on here it's not even cool. I'm pretty sure OP wants you to share stories of BAD TIMES TRYING TO LINK YOUR ITEMS, not you boasting your fucking ego about how lucky you were getting a 6 link in 3 fuse and a fucking taco.. Every thread like this turns into a damn e-peen showoff thread. Shame.. |

Fusing horror stories? I 6Led my Carcass Jack while hoping to 5L it, after about 80 fuses spent.
The horror of that? I wasn't happy or excited or jumping for joy when it happened. I was just plain dumbfounded. Worse? Now all I can feel when I look at my gear is guilt. Guilt that I got a cheapo 6L while everyone else has to spend ridiculous amounts of currency to get one. Survivor's guilt. |

I fused my shav in about 800 fuses which from what I can tell its on the lower end. While the result is good I can say during the fusing process it was the most painful and unpleasant experience I had since beta. Watching your hard work going down the drain with potentially nothing in return. When you finally get that 6l, there was no excitement, but a bitter reminder to never try that again.
I can understand and accept if GGG want to keep the RNG aspect, but if and only if they also ban all lottery. Lottery is a scam, plain and simple. Its like opening a casino in the ghetto with no tax, and letting people bet their house and family as payment. But its all fair and reasonable because no one forced them to gamble ... right? If RNG must be part of crafting .... then everyone need to suffer from it. You do not get to bypass the process by scamming other people. I can respect skilled traders that research the market, buy low and sell high, except there is no skill in lottery scam, you just spam, spam and spam some more. Get a twitch account and spam spam spam. Just look at trade chat ... if I get 1 chaos for every time I see "1 chaos for 20 alts" I would be the richest person in the game. The "end game" is literally who can use automated program to spam and scam the most newbies. If GGG want this game to be more than just "scam2win/RMT2win" I suggest they reward those who are actually playing the damn game and using the crafting system as oppose to those making a fortune on forum gold and flip flopping currency.

Bah, Random is random. Some people die in an airplane, some die in a car crash that wasn't their fault. But they all CHOSE to participate in being in a car or a plane.
If you don't like the chances of the ride, then don't take the ride. I love this game cause it's fun, spending my every mouse-click thinking about fusings would drive me crazy too; and probably ruin the game for me. Glad I realize I may die if I get into a car. That's the true horror story in my opinion. And on the note of lotteries. Are they truely a problem? Getting rid of things like this in the name of "fairness" seems out of the realm of this game. This game isn't fair.. I like that. Also, spamming exists.. in every... single... game online.. deal with it. If it's not one thing, it's another.. I swear.. I don't see a TON of spam over these Lotteries.. but whatever. I am not in chat/trade chat all the time either. Last edited by Szoj#4424 on Jan 6, 2014, 11:45:02 PM

" I don't care about the "fairness." Lotteries are fair -- people run them and other people choose to participate. They're a bit of an indicator of a shit economy, though, and they prey on risk seekers and uninformed players. It's like how, in a busy city, particularly in the lower-income areas, there are many operating scam and rip-off artists about. They aren't taking your money (unless you're foolish enough to deal with them), so it's not really your problem, but it makes the local area look like a shithole. IGN: SplitEpimorphism
