dude cmon ,,

Play d2 again , there is a new Grief of Doom weapon

and It's getting Better with hacked Items ahaha!!

gotta LOVE d2

im sure someone already said this..... but

the obvious thing is: you must mq with the weapon to have the dura decreased?

how will that be monitored?

having said that, its still a terrible idea.

Have i personally Done 250 mqs No i have not has some of my gear i'm not sure it's probaby damn close lets see for example my 45 Sword i have been using it since about mid of last season it wasn't originally mine it was my Guild Leader's Now that sword was passed around 4 or 5 members quite regularly I did at least 40 mqs with that sword last ladder... But it was not a sword i mq'd with even though i could have. So if i were to be catacombing with a guildy i'd pass that sword along to Him or her so that they could move along a lot faster with our group Wow so there's 2 Durability gone for one mq .. and whose to say who used it previously... Just because I didn't use it for 250 mqs doesn't mean it wasn't used a lot by my self guildy's and the previous owners and their guildy's. That update would Kill Ls would drive away the majority of the established players I'm with Nick I would retire with my gear sitting on my account on characters for all to see and when people who reguarly buy and sell items quit playing there's goes the market for The noobs who get luck and their goes pauls Fg from his little cut that he takes.

This Idea was plain out horrble

and in responce to your question I have 4 characters with ranks around level 10 in sword It would be higher but i enjoy playing hybrid in catacombs with friends and or guildy's and you don't get shit for prof in catacombs. How many attempts Idk 40-50 i don't know exactly how many monk climbs i actually did last season so it's hard to give a good figure for amount of mq's to obtain those profs. But in the end it doesn't really matter so what my prof don't mean shit with out my hard earned weapons i have found muted and bought.

it makes sense...
you come from one of the guilds that has done Mirror-maze on more than 1 occasion, if you read it... you would understand that you do NOT have to MQ to get GPs within your guild, so this does NOT affect your guilds best items.



This would be the case in some areas... that is why I found it funny in trades where I saw a guild selling off their nice Club set at high prices and then buying another Club set at lower prices to make a profit... hence another reason that this should be incorporated.

Note... MQA Durability is shown everytime... people see the quality... as for sharing in the guild, we do the same thing... but by the time the newer players are getting better ranks, they are also gaining better items... and if they are a good guild member, they will endeavour to help by giving spare items to the Guild to replenish the used items...



This is pretty much the same response within the entire community... how about this... would you have played the game if it had a durabilty based on 250MQs when it was first introduced? I believe we have become dependent on items, when the game has turned to other avenues to ensure that with hardwork, you do not need the best gear to get to where you are going.

Ranks... this increases 1% per, and if anyone ever gets to Rank50, that is 50% ee... even if you are using a Wellable item... remember the days when you had nothing and you were happy to be using a weapon with 40% ee?... I do... and one day I would like to use a Bronze weapon and a Rank of 40... It does not need EE... just better off mods.



If this was implemented... the MQA would start at 0 (zero) with current items... this is the fairest option.
As stated on 1 or 2 pages... there could be a Reset, or stat (increase dura / indestructible) which is similar to the new Magical defense on Robes/Chains/Plates, or... Higher Ranks yeilds increase durability and Rank50 yeilds "indestructible"

Yes, catacombing is the slowest place to get profs... but does not mean to say the 250 MQ attempts does not yield a high Rank.

Love the comments... I have seen alot of feedback... keep at it...

Let me first begin by stating the obvious, everyone plays for different reasons. Some ppl are crazy for the GPs + love passing and make a multitude of chars to maximize 3 door passing. Obviously, others seek to reset ladder or reach a particular class like a Warlock. Still there is a good portion of ppl who want to maximize their profs on a single player and are die hard solo artists. Yet still, others desire to be nicknamed "The G.O.A.T." and become The Greatest Of All Time with all aspects of the game including gear. As stated, this game can be played and enjoyed in many ways.

With this background I just stated, realize that in essence "punishing ppl for MQing" shoots much of the community in the foot for their particular aspirations. The blanket generalization you made for UA on being capable of doing Mirror Maze for some reason should lock us into repeating it time and time again? What about those who want to climb the ladder? Placing the 250 durability benefits only 1 class of ppl that I see--those new and not vested in the game.

You asked if I remember playing with a 40ee item, the answer is no. I dropped over 30k my first climb However, I sure as hell wouldn't have done this if my fg and $ was going to poof in time. My gear & characters have security unlike d2. I never would have created a character if it didn't.

Get your profs to reward yourself on 'not having to spend huge amounts of fg to cap out your items'. An insanely high 50 prof will enable you to make great use of weapons that are much cheaper than that of perfs. No need to go on, I'm sure you understand my point.

This is the worst bloody idea ever.

The good thing about LS is that gear retains it's value, and you can build a nice set and keep it forever.

You simply cannot all of a sudden decide you want to delete all good items, and reduce their worth to nothing.

Please think before posting more ideas

Simple; no.

I don't think an explianation is needed either.

sorry, but he does have a good point right there

very interesting and creative idea though, I just don't think this needs to be implemented to the game.

and did I misunderstand that only melee weapons would affected? Why wouldn't caster items lose duribility aswell? That doesn't seem fair.

regardless, I'm voting no.

Note: just making the quote smaller.
Great points... let us see what happens to the price of these items you have bought for 30k fg in 3 years time.



Actually the best part of LS... is the fact that there are no bots ruining the economy, and the items are pretty unique.
It is not about deleting all good items and reducing its worth... it is about keeping an even flow with economy... and...
putting an stop to the inevitable... an abundance of items roaming around in the community where the gameplay becomes
too easy.

I think outside the square... I can see what may happen in 3 years time from now... so with that in mind... posting is all I have ( )



Initially this idea was thought of to help melee get a reward for their High Ranks... thus... if melee had a negative effect, like casting uses mana...
it could be a way to get high rank melee characters gain a reward...

Inclusion of charms could be instigated, as long as there is a way to either:
Increase Durability
Make item Indestructible

If implemented... it would change the entire structure on how things are bought/sold, and the QQ topics and people leaving because they can not find a way to deal with it...
________________

Very great input people... keep at it... I am still fishing for some more options either way.

Believe me, I think this game could use a million updates, but this isn't one of them.

First - The obvious reason of punishing people for playing. This is the opposite of what should happen.

Second - Doesn't effect what you are trying to do, which is balance melee/casting I think. At least thats what I got from the whole mana to no mana comparison. There are tons of ways to balance the two, deleting melee weapons arent one of them

Third - It might give Njaguar the idea of adding durability with a FG repair cost, which no one would want.

Fourth - Trading wasn't mentioned in the original topic, I didn't read the rest but I'm sure someone else brought this up. Trading is one of the few fun aspects to the game, durability would only complicate it
