Announcements - Sacrifice of the Vaal: Teaser Screenshot #1 - Forum

" Korguan wrote: The screenshot: - In the inventory there is a bow and a sword - Obviously the bow cannot be equipped (missing stats/level --> red color) - Obviously the sword can be equipped, although character is not level 53 --> green color - The Sword is corrupted, also 1 gem is corrupted (is it the spark-gem, don't know) Interpretation: - Corrupted weapons/gems/... can be equipped despite missing stats/levels, so even at level 1 - Drawback is that they can never be unequipped from the character - Corrupted gems are white. - you can only equip corrupted gems in an white corrupted weapon - you get a "corrupted orb" for killing Queen Atziri Why: - Allows quick re-rolling and levelling of characters (your main dies after 3 days in a one-week and you have good weapons in your stash - you can equip a strong strength-based weapon, although you don't invest into strength (eg summoner) and combine it with a corrupted gem (also strength-based) eg Heavy Strike and new builds are possible Just my thoughts ...

I hope the white socket and corrupted mod are 2 entirely separate features. Hopefully the white socket thing involves a new type(s) of currency, I just want item customization to be something players get excited about. If items can have white sockets that is a game-changer for all items. Is that supposed to be a CoC ele cleave build?

He's been corrupted by Queen Atziri RIP. All hail new developer Atziri! I wonder if Hillock-Senpai will notice me when I go to town??	Posted by StrayYoshi on Feb 17, 2014, 1:51:14 PM Quote this Post

I like the idea of white sockets, but i don't think they should have any type of downside and this would be a sad day if they do always get some form of downside and you can roll white sockets with Chromatic Orbs. Because in the long run... no one will want to have any type of drawback just because of a socket and most importantly we will have to spend 100x (times) more Chromatic Orbs to get rid of the stupid white sockets. What do you mean that the league is not rewarding or fun? You put in 5 useless items in the device and you get 1 useless item... Oh wait! /Talisman League(2015/2016) Oh look, Synthesis League(2019) = Talisman League all over again.	Posted by x_KOR_x on Feb 17, 2014, 2:22:45 PM Quote this Post
maybe the sword has the 'Corruption' mod assigned to it. and any skill linked to it gains that bleed ability?	Posted by Zephyr66z0r on Feb 17, 2014, 2:25:43 PM Quote this Post
I'm expecting something like an item sink from it. It's the best thing to do, stop the item inflation of the servers or delay it. Of course it has nothing to do with blood magic since it would, maybe, give an advantage to BM characters and a disvantage to CI users. It's still possible the white socket has nothing to do with this mini expansion, maybe it is something we already have in the game.

" toyotatundra wrote: Corrupted items will either be awesome or a frustrating gimmick like the shrines. Any news about skill tree? How many of my builds are gonna disappear overnight? There's a bigger chance this will be awesome, since it is a mini expansion. Skill Tree changes give me pain in the ass too.	Posted by KieranGravebane on Feb 17, 2014, 2:29:09 PM Quote this Post
I still have hopes that corruption will mean durability can be a thing moving forwards, its about the only easy to implement thing which can correct the hideous economy in the non timed leagues	Posted by eversorgod on Feb 17, 2014, 2:34:54 PM Alpha Member Quote this Post
