i know i alreday said but i really dislike upgrade,cuz of downgrade.
this will make ppl rage quit and get pissed everytime.
i talk with my old dbo friends who actually know how the game was and how upgrade is and we come up with this:
to +8 armor or weapon , 100% rate
+8++ will do changes only fail and succes : the succes though has low chance
8>9 35%
9>10 25%
10>11 18%
11 > 12 12%
12 > 13 8%
13 > 14 4%
14 > 15 2%
this is how it should or atleast close to this , we test it and we see if it is low enough or high to balance it more
i hope devs will take this in considerations.
imagine ppl all with +15 , crazy PVP tournement if u ask me , and ther u can see true skills of combo and reflex
not realy , it will take atleast 4-5 month to do full set +15 ... wich is crazy long time
everyone +15 is good though , ther wont be a p2w character wich u all aparently are used to see it
when the game is based on Gears , make sure to make all ppl attein same gear otherwise it get boring and ppl will leave
all my freinds in dbo quited cuz of gears from kanden to ben to my brothers to ....
i think thats better hahahaa no downgrade or broken but only succes.. But the succes rate is very low at +8 and its lowering when the + is bigge
I like your suggestion
Tera , AuraKingdom , DMO , are prime examples where ur chances get higher next time if u fail , no break , do TERA players whine about all being +12 ? no .
there is no sense in maintaining such a broken system if you're not accounting for the marketing. main reason F2P MMOs even introduce an enchantment system is simply since they want to extend the replay value and maximize profit from microtransactions.
in CHN B&S ; "oh, don't wanna break your item? we have 12-pack mercury special in cash shop to save your ass for only $19.99!"
IMBO like people have suggested here, retain the old enchantment system but remove the breaks, fails are okay. just further increase the gold cost, problem solved.
even in saint seiya online u can upgrade without breaking
this are the highlight parts of the convo
