Everyone would not be happy because for one many players hate legacy uniques being in the game at all. Its dumb. If a unique is OP and needs to be nerfed then all of them would need to be nerfed or there is no point in doing it in the first place.

your suggestion doesn't do much at all. Now you have a more common inferior version floating around that people will still disregard and want the legacy one. Nothing has changed.

I don't understand why people who care that much about legacy items are playing standard, these games are all about leagues, join the new one or deal with it o.O


Maybe because temporary leagues sound dumb to many players and those players don't also want broken legacy uniques floating around.

Common sense people.
Standard Forever
Am I the only one who just doesnt give a damn? Hell, if I had to choose one way I would rather have legacy items because itd be really cool to have one, especially say 5 years down the road.

Fuck all this QQ that some people will profit from it. Those people would profit ANYWAY, somehow. Thats what they do.

People would disregard a 700 Life Kaoms because a 1000 Life Kaoms exists?

Do you just disregard rares with good affixes just because they aren't all top rolls?

hopefully to see that day to come, hehe-


That's happened before. Lioneye's bow and Hyrri's Ire are two where the newer versions were much better than the old ones.

It's going to be fun facing a 1000 hp kaoms in pvp with my shiny 500 hp kaoms.

yep if you win it will be even more fun, then they cant blame "you got better Equipments" XD
If they do Nerf Kaom's This to me is the only fair and reasonable way to do it:

What is gonna happen (IMHO):

Kaom's will give 850 HPs (no legacy, all Kaom's will change)

Everyone is getting +2 HPs/level

This means that a lvl 75 characters with Kaom's will have exactly the same amount of HPs as now. Anyone above that level will even get more life than now.

What they are doing is smoothing the curve between who has a Kaom and who doesn't, without actually hitting those that already have it.

By doing this, they open more possibilities for life based end-game, which was almost totally dominated by Kaom's, by taking from Kaom's and giving to *anything else*.
I think this is a very smart way to rebalance things.

So, those of you who are using Kaom's, don't worry you won't trash your chestpiece (or character).

Kaom's will still be a very powerful end-game item, but not as mandatory/game changing as it is right now.

Bye

^not my idea, but I find it the most fair and reasonable thing to do, <<< along with making Legacy Kaom's Account bound.

Any other way would be a kick in the face to those who have spent hundreds of hours grinding for months to attain this item. especially solo players :P (biased view)

anyhow keep well everyone :D soon we will see ;)

How many threads....

The HP per level change isn't really relevant at all. A lvl 75 is only getting +450 HP from it with 200% passives. 450 HP is really nothing. If you're going a life build, getting Kaoms is nearly necessary. Nerfed or not, it's the highest Life roll you're getting on any piece of equipment.

What's sad is that you can get so much more than that from an ES chest.

Life builds grab all the life nodes and struggle.
CI builds grab a handful of nodes and profit.
If you're reading this, I'm probably on another year-long ban.
Thanks GGG.
Eh, I'm not really that worried about Legacy items. They will be Standard only, and Standard is going to keep getting worse and worse over time, no one will care about it.
