General Discussion - OP Legacy Uniques are the worst decision i've seen from the devs thus far - Forum

It's stupid. They should have changed none of them. Anarchy/Onslaught T shirt Domination/Nemesis T shirt Tempest/War Bands T shirt	Posted by reboticon#2775 on Oct 22, 2013, 9:49:39 AM Quote this Post
I like the Patch Notes except for this. Why would new players want to run a facebreaker or any other nerfed unique based build, when they get the inferior stuff from now on? Really hope the new stuff will make up for this. ign Elmi_EQ	Posted by HenkCCAA#7651 on Oct 22, 2013, 10:00:45 AM Quote this Post
I dont understand it, the game will be released with broken PVP already, lots of friends lost interest after i told them about legacy items, they were waiting for release to play the game, i was even making a guild with them, but a lot of them just gave up.

None of it's really worth getting in a fuss about unless your whole aim here is to turn an in game profit. I play ladders so I can feed my standard league characters decent gear. It would probably be more politically correct if I were to spend time selling items, so I could spend more time buying items... but I'm really more into killing things than going to the grocery. That's my wife's job.	Posted by Boneshaka#7860 on Oct 22, 2013, 10:08:15 AM Quote this Post
Shitty change for sure	Posted by adrinatoren#5242 on Oct 22, 2013, 10:09:59 AM Quote this Post
Disagree, its a good way to handle it i think, srewing players that farmed endlessly to get their item would be kinda lame also. And im sure in PvP plenty of counter gearing/spec strats to them will come up if necessary.	Posted by Anelit#6043 on Oct 22, 2013, 10:10:00 AM Quote this Post
Probably one of the most stupid decisions I've seen GGG make... or should that spot go to "we design battles around alt+f4ing!"? "Of course we balance knowing players will Alt-F4 out of there." - Qarl	Posted by Deankar#1400 on Oct 22, 2013, 10:14:21 AM Quote this Post

I'm not here to just cry and threaten to leave the game or anything but I definitely want to be heard on the subject regardless. The devs decided that there was a need to nerf some of the uniques. Some people agree and some people don't. If the devs feel that there was a need then great I am behind them. However if you only nerf future versions of the unique then the effect on the leagues that will have the old uniques is that the OP uniques are now more important and powerful than they were before. The problem you were attempting to fix is effectively worse. I realize that this isn't a problem for those who don't play standard and don't care about it, but what about the players that do? GGG knows how many people play standard exclusively or the majority of the time. It means that the main game for a huge portion of players is now more messed up than it was before. GGG why did you do this? There had to be a better way that this. I have always been against uniques deemed over powered but making them legacy is far worse to me. I would rather you never changed them at all. I know standard is a "dumping grounds" or "legacy" league as many of you call it. But please try to look at it from my perspective for a second. I thought I could enjoy playing standard the way that I wanted to do it and always be content with the game. I felt the devs still cared about standard just like the other leagues because really I have had no reason to think that they didn't. This change really makes me look at the game differently. I hope I am wrong but I feel I will look at the game differently now that there are uniques that you can't find that are much better than their droppable counterparts. It really might actually make me look at standard in a very negative light. I hope I get over it but I have never been so disappointed since I began to play in closed beta. Maybe it won't be as bad as my initial reaction here. I hope not. Please keep all comments constructive. I still love this game. Everyone that's complaining about legacy uniques just keeps saying how they're bad, but no one can say why. Why does it matter if their are legacy uniques? There is nothing to compete for in Standard/Hardcore so why does it matter if others have legacy items? I can only see this being a problem in ranked PVP/PVP tournaments, where I do hope they are disabled.

GGG If you want legacy unit and dumping standard league with OP unique and broken balance PVP then do it. I and my friends and many players who don't like them just quit quit playing this shit. That's all. I used to think this game is great and Devs are so smart until the stupid legacy idea come.

I remember leveling up during the first closed beta, and moaning i'd lose my levels / items when the great reset came... If you farmed like an ass during a BETA release, then that's up to you. Legacy concept is abysmal. Chris needs to rethink this. BUT just to sync old version and new version is unquestionably the right thing to do.
