OP Legacy Uniques are the worst decision i've seen from the devs thus far

I'm not a big fan just for consistency sake. I also don't like unachievable plateaus, which is what the legacy items will be for me now.

They should probably keep them out of PvP at the bare minimum.

The only reason for anyone being happy about this is if they're one of the 1% that could afford the items in question in the first place.

Yeah, for others basically it's called jealousy.

Its not a pretty sight is it. Patch notes will be up soon (I hope) then maybe these people can find something worthwhile to complain about.

They already are, where have you been :P Thats why this thread exists lol

It kinda sucks for people who couldn't afford them before. Because now they'll be out of reach for practically 99.999% of the players, especially when considering the ones that just sit in a stash of someone who stopped playing the game.

However, if GGG thinks this was a needed change, I respect that. They're in a unique position to look at balance and adjust according to what they find to be the case.

The only thing I can think of being "unfair" is if they're usable in PvP competitions with a reward.

Yeah, the legacy unique thing is stupid. Lets nerf items (that do indeed need nerfed) yet keep all the hundreds that exist! Oh well, I guess thats what the new leagues are for. Its unfortunate that things like this continue standard as a dumpster league. I have characters there from anarchy that I still enjoy playing, yet they are now in some crazy confused pile of items that don't even have logical stats anymore.

I'm struggling to come up with feedback that's constructive about this. All that comes out is a stream of profanity. I tried to raise hell about legacy items the first time one was created a while back, and this is exactly the scenario I was worried about. If the items are game-breakingly powerful, nobody should have the pre-nerf version. If they're not, then nerfing them is stupid. Either way, leaving legacy owners with an admittedly overpowered item that nobody else can get except by trading for one is an absolutely terrible idea.

Yeah, I'm with you on this. Unfortunately, I wrote everything I had on last major thread about legacy so I'll keep it short&simple.

- It's bad for economy.
- It's bad for balance.
- It's unthinkable to have legacy items as long as you have some sort of PvP in the game.

Standard and hardcore are still the only way to have a permanent character here, if you play PvP you will want to have a permanent char, those take a LOT of time to set up properly.

Yup.

If anything standard is the one league where you can just make crazy shit and not worry about wasting your time or efforts. Now though you have to deal with your build never being the craziest shit, as some guy who already had a 6-linked shavs 2 months ago will forever beat your guy you spent 2 months on.


And yes, it fucking ruins PvP where all the most fun to watch and play PvP builds are actually going to be possible.

why fix a broken item if you don't remove the broken version from the game?

it makes no sense and i'm absolutely disappointed by that decision.

Not just uniques - legacy ES shields will probably be in high demand. Only difference is that you can mirror them.

The Resplendent mod can no longer spawn on shields.
All shield defences have been reduced by 17%.
