Would you support a 6L Orb that cost X fusings?

It is pointless because they can just make the game harder so that even 6L won't do anything good.

Err that honestly did not make sense.

Outside of Standard League, it's still a competitive game. Everyone is competing with every other player in the league to be the best. Playing in Nemesis or Domination and expecting zero level of competitiveness is just silly. Like playing League of Legends for the storyline, and not to win matches.

I actually doubt that even 10% of players would consider themselves competitive. I think most of us are just playing because it's fun, not to wag our ePeens around.

I'm basing this off a fairly active guild chat, in which I can't recall someone ever posting their overall season ladder rank. Races, sure. But not the season ladder.

You're 100% correct. Most people don't play to be competitive. But competition is still what the leagues are about and are built around. They're not going to make the game easier for "casual" players when there are plenty of players still trying to push for ladder rankings.

Once the season is over and all those Domination and Nemesis characters are moved to Standard, your 6L gear will be VERY easy to come by in that league.

Ehh , I am convinced the trolls of this thread will keep it from being anything more than wasted effort

posts like this that include no input are a derailment to the thread and defeatist.

its the pessimistic, non-innovative, shit like this that drags the forums down.

I propose a fix.

Fusing Orbs need to be slightly changed.

Why don't we increase the chance /number of links proportionate to the number of sockets not simply BASED on the number of sockets (ie 6 sockets inherently makes 4 linking easier) not like that but rather...

1 socket = 100% Chance to have No Link (obviously)

2 sockets = 50% Chance to have one link, 50% chance no link

3 sockets = 34% Chance no links, 33% one link, 33% chance two links (ie all connected)

4 sockets = 25% " " no link, 25% " " one, 25% three (all connected)

5 sockets = 20% " " no link, 20% " " one, 20% two, 20% three, 20% four (all)

6 sockets = 16% " " no link, 16% " " one, 16% two, 16% three, 16% four, 16% five (all)

This makes fusings still worth a shit, because you can now use them more effectively, but makes the SELF FOUND value go up.

This makes it so you dont HAVE TO TRADE OR BUY a 6L for 1/2 (give or take) the cost of one out of trade simply because, lets be honest, fusing 6L isn't practical.


The entire reason people run lotteries is because fusing something is bad design.

I don't care if even they introduce a recipe to the vendor for links as an idea.

Here's the pitch for that even..

X Socketed Item + Stack Jewelers to vendor = X+1 Socketed Item (if ilvl allows)

then

X Linked Item + Stack Fusings + Exalted Orb to vendor = X+1 Linked Item.


Meaning easier 6L with the more than likely cost being capped at say 40 Fusings, 2 Exalt.

This is assuming you started with a 6 socketed 4 Linked item.


There are plenty of solutions possible, people need to offer them to GGG.

GGG does not have all the answers sometimes.

Nope, competition are definitely not what the leagues are about and are built around. The support for the competitive side is minimal. Heck, they don't even have a "fair starting position" due to how they do not care about alpha insider information XD.

Leagues existed before the temporary leagues were created. The temporary leagues are designed to be more balanced (that's why legacy equips don't exist in them) and have a limited lifespan. This gives every player of those leagues, a different and more balanced version of the game.

Races are on the hand only about competition.
