Rune System - Suggestion
" Hes in D2 nostalgia heaven, thats all. If he wants runes he should play D2, like i do. |

No one said it has to be "D2" "Runes" or any of that, its just a suggestion if GGG does decide to do some variant of it they can call it what they like or make it work how they want.
PoE is definitely getting better, but still lacking because every league people stop playing after a few weeks - a month. There isnt enough to keep people interested for the full league. I myself have played since this league started and am still playing surprisingly. P.S. the level grind starts to early and i can never maintain maps so i lose interest.

" People who stop playing are the ones that were burned out from playing too much, not because the game was lacking anything. |

" Every league i play for a couple weeks sometimes 3-4 then i stop i just lose interest and im sure there are plenty of people that do the same. I do agree that people are burnt out, i been playing ARPGs since D2 LoD was released. So yea playing the same genre of game will do that. My Future Is Not Where My Dream Is.

This isn't about being burnt out for playing too much. It's about the realisation that you can't manage interesting goals without spending insane amounts of time playing the game.

" This is that kind of game though, its not like D3 where you get everything instantly, thats a totally different approach and one GGG wont take. This game is grindy, and yes, trading is GGGs vision for the future of this game. I think the suggested rune system would require a major overhaul of the entire game to really work and i doubt GGG is willing to do that. But im sure they saw the thread by now so all i can say is, hope for it, but dont expect it. |

" maybe the rune would be large and have fused parts to it so that's a single rune would fill up an entire items sockets and would have to fit into the color pattern of the item like a puzzle piece. The weaker runes would fill up a 2 linked piece the medium ones would fill up a 3 link, and the best runes, (keystone runes) would have to be used in a 4 linked piece... was going to suggest 4,5 and six link items but I don't think anybody would waste the 6 link on a keystone that they can just get in the tree.

Heya all!
I've been away from the game for a while (other games to play and RL stuff) Thanks for providing some thought on this.. I've no qualms about this being "rune system" or the "plush toys system" where you grab your cutie and place in sockets, just using runes as its more common for eveyone to grasp as concept. Anyway, the major idea is to allow a greater diversity of builds using the passive skill three as the focus, driving to a different direction than always needing "dat unique item" to mimic X skill node. It gets kinda too much gear heavy/focused when even GGG doesn't knows how or won't allow players to customize without having to resort into those same unique gear all the time. Sequence of "runewords" or "stuffed toy order" could lead into combos for certain gearpieces where those are constructed upon, however only rares (maybe magic OR white to restrict the power even further) and lower should be suited for that, as uniques are already too powerful.

I like your idea. In my opinion those runes, would do better when giving bonuses to stats of an item at the cost of gem slot rather than simulating pssives. Connecting them to get better performance is also good idea.
But, there are build that dont really need many gem slots, it would be massive buff to some, most likely at the cost of "on damage taken" procs. I do however belive that it is possible and potentialy add to complexity of builds. As to lore, about which I dont really know much, rather than runes how about vaal/thaumaturgic conduits? |
