Thanks for the detailed information. I'm really excited for leveling masters and creating my own base! I love the idea of showing off MTX in your hideout as well, please implement the mannequin/pet idea (even if it's not ready for 1.20). Only one thing seems a little off to me, and that's the unique item masters can sell. How will you limit this? Will map-only uniques stay map-only, with masters unable to stock them? Dream Fragments can drop in normal mode in Act 1, so that's not something I'm too worried about (even as a very rare and costly item). Just concerned with how certain uniques may become available, like say Doon Cuebiyari, Auxium, Soul Taker, etc. Hopefully we'll get a list of uniques masters can stock by the time the FM patch is released. Bring back race seasons.	Posted by AbdulAlhazred on Aug 1, 2014, 1:15:52 AM Quote this Post
" More items in their vendor shops that rotate every day While I personally love this I know a lot of people will view it as the dreaded return of "dailies", which is generally something a game should avoid at all costs. The draw to playing should be player interest in the game, not a forced daily task to get people to log in. Hopefully it doesn't feel like that, but I know I will love having something new to check everyday (gotta get that 6L plate vest RNG) It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishment the scroll- @Faith_And_Steel	Posted by DodgySmalls on Aug 1, 2014, 1:16:57 AM Quote this Post

You will likely have the option to kick masters out of a hideout to replace them with new ones. Or switch hideouts and stock new masters in it. Bring back race seasons.

Hi Chris, Thanks for the extra details... I'll read it in more depth when I have time, but I have one initial question that I don't need answered but might need to be considered: How do you think RMTers will try to exploit the following? " Masters as Vendors Like regular NPCs, Masters can sell you items. Unlike normal vendors, the items sold by Masters change once per day (at midnight UTC). Each Master sells some general items and some aligned with his underlying class. In our current build, the following items are added to the Master's vendor inventory at these reputation levels. This may change! Level 1: A few unidentified magic items Level 2: One unidentified rare item Level 3: Some gems Level 4: One magic item with a new powerful mod Level 5: One identified rare item Level 6: Stacks of currency at a slightly better exchange rate than the current vendors Level 7: A level 60+ base item. Level 8: A chance of a unique item (generally a common one, but very occasionally a good one). These are priced so that you don't want to buy everything in the shop each day from each vendor. You should check the vendor and buy the item if it's a good deal. For example, you wouldn't want to pay 5 Chaos Orbs for a Redbeak, but that'd be a great deal for a Dream Fragments. Will we see Chinese Prison gaming farmers create 100s/1000s of accounts, quickly grind out the rep 24/7, check each account daily for the best value deals and/or most valuable on the market... and sell these items/services to time poor players via RMT or in-game service fees (Public Party: WTS Vorici Level 8 Crafting Services). ^ That is my last concern... honest. :) Chris Wilson: "Today was the proudest day of my life."

So, will players be able to alter sockets on corrupted mirrored items? Or does the mirror aspect precede the corruption?	Posted by iwantcoupons on Aug 1, 2014, 1:20:52 AM Quote this Post

You can also find Masters as random encounters. [img]http://image.prntscr.com/image/2e57fcaba2ea48cc9832fecc55c6d0d6.png[/img]	Posted by Commoble on Aug 1, 2014, 1:22:06 AM Quote this Post
