Good equipment for your level should be a lot easier to come by

An LQB tied to player level?

It's not so much a "make all existing equipment obsolete" patch, it's more of a series of changes that should make drops less trolly overall and allow people to get meaningful upgrades. Good equipment for your level should be a lot easier to come by, but at the same time it will add a hard level restriction to at least somewhat alleviate the Auction House syndrome where the most common way to find an upgrade is to buy it.

Is it going to be a drop rate nerf for everyone bellow level 450? Like with dmg for mages with the resist changes?

By hard level restriction, you mean level 200 players can no longer receive or use leg-graded equipment from level 400 players and have to make do with mags?

To be honest, I prefer some way to increase the base stat of an equipment over better roll when dropped.

How about extent the max level of item by IW to level 11. At level 11,

1. The retired item type will change to new item type. Retired prefix will be removed. Retired suffix will become a random suffix. e.g: Gossamer armor will become cotton armor of random prefix.
2. The min/max will be applied to the base stat. e.g. removed END form weapon; give crit damage bonus to power armor.
3. One of the special bonus will be given:
   • Give a random prefix. If the gear already have prefix, there will have no effect (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif). This also allow crude item to have prefix (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
   • +1 to the base roll of a random stat. If the stat is not exist, make it to the minimum roll. However, it will only give stat that a gear could have. e.g. No END for weapon. And it cannot exceed the upper limit. If the chosen stat already reached the ceiling, there will have no effect (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) .
4. Item quality will be recalculated.
5. The item grade (Leg, Mag, etc) will be re-calculated upon the current item quality. And give corresponding bonus.
6. Reforge of level 11 gear require no shards. And the change at level 11 will stay forever. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

A level 200 player won't be able to use gear dropped by a level 400 player, no.

A level 200 player won't be able to use gear dropped by a level 400 player, no.

Here goes the item market (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Are you reintroducing Item Levels, similar to how it worked before Item World revamp, only as a restriction to the equip usability?

Will it affect existing gear, too? Or just the newly generated drops?

Suddenly half the playerbase will be naked. It would be glorious! (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

And the Free Shop. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/mellow.gif)

I'm already prepared (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I really hope he has the balls to do it!
It would entertain us for weeks! (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Level = base pxp that you can equip

Level = max pxp range


Once you go over like level 380 you start increasing the quality range and will get better quality and rolls more often.

Thats what I would imagine, but its Tenboro so there would probably be an exponential factor or something to make it more lame like you have to be over 450 to start getting quality boosts rather than 380 LOL.

Not entirely similar. Equipment will drop with a level corresponding to the player similar to before, but you won't be able to equip gear with a higher level than you, and it's not something you can increase in the item world.

Will it affect existing gear, too? Or just the newly generated drops?

Gear that doesn't have a level will be bound to a level the first time it's equipped.

So newbies can make money binding old gear to a low level for us?

Now Auction too cold, you can compare to the time when 0.81 patch
Price maybe remain only 30% or less,'useful stuff' 'upgrade worth stuff' already lot of cheap price now.

Problem is fcking no challenge thing to play HV.
Waiting peerless and play GF? Don't kidding.

Drop 99.9999999% useless is one problem.(I can't find any useful stuff during 3~4 month)

But main question is arena and griedfest too bored and too long(Especially End of Days.Eternal Darkness ,and DWD)
Please add some short stage and add challenge element in it.

I am thinking Tenb would probably implement the equipment to have base stats to be corresponding to the player's level (e.g. level 1 bounded equipment will have level 1 base stats, level 200 equipment will have level 200 base stats and so forth) else this might be too abusable for all our current equipment and encourage hoarding...

If this change goes through, it will be interesting to see how it would affect the Auctions, WTS and WTB users. And FreeSHop will definitely have more problems to worry about (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Will the equipments stats scale as they do now according to ones level? Even if the equipment was previously equipped by a player with a significantly lower level than yourself?

If future version become high limit single game,that too bad.

You could, but..

The equipment's level will fix its stats to that level.
