Introducing Tier 6 and 7 Item Affixes

This…this is how an arpg should be. You guys are going the right way to finally make players having fun again killing monsters and being rewarded for it with BiS items! Even though crafting is such an important part of an arpg, it should never be so easy to craft perfect gear while sitting in the hideout. Going out, exploring the world, killing monsters, looting treasure, thats how i like it. Great move.

This is interesting. I am very curious.
So we can’t craft the affixes themselves but we can still craft the items.
So say I get a T7 affix that would be Super strong for my build but the other 3 or some of them are useless to me. I can the use a rune of removal and what not to remove an affix/ affixes then craft one that will suit my particular build.

I am really happy if this is the case and I am understanding properly. I was wondering how that was going to be implemented.
because I could have one really good affix and two or 3 that I don’t need then would run the chance if that being useless and with them being are rare as you are claiming. is just wouldn’t feel good to get an epic drop and can’t even use it or make it work. (not saying I expect them be automatically be useful because they drop)

I am excited to see the extra dynamic they add to the game and how they shake up the current way things are done.

Hopefully this made sense. I am much better at talking out my thoughts then writing them out. Hence why I make videos content :wink:
Good job and excited for the patch!

I really like this and am excited to see how “Endgame Uniques and Legendaries” fit into this too I am assuming you want just to have majority of crafted gear to keep crafting a relevant part of the game.

So I am expecting 1-3 uniques / Legendary items would be ideal
but the question is as well.
do you plan on leaving set items as they are or bring them up to par with end game uniques.
Not all ofc but I am sure some would be.

There is still room for high tier sets to exist in our vision of our 1.0 item system.

Awesome. I assumed Sets and uniques went hand in hand

Yea, they do, sets are really just uniques that get an extra bonus for being together. Their individual power is generally slightly lower than a unique but together they are generally slightly more powerful but more niche and have the opportunity cost of forcing multiple specific slots being used at the same time.

I got an answer in Discord.

CallizerToday at 10:42 AM Is the chance of removing T6/T7 affixes the same as removing any other affixes? Or do they have special weightings?

Mike WeickerToday at 10:45 AM The only thing that is different about them when crafting in any way at all is that you can’t increase an affix tier above 5.

This is cool thank but please when more than 4 affix on items ? It would also make unique design easier to balance imo.
Limited affix on items are my main concern for the game.

This looks great! Keep up the good work.

Actually really good idea and PoE should be doing this, sick of the games RNG regarding crafting and drops being worthless

Loving the idea of this, it implements longevity to the builds due to always be hunting some upgrade. I also love that there are things we can’t craft so we need to play the game to get loot.

Im calling in sick at work

This looks really awesome. Really nice idea for itemization!

Hmm. I originally read that line to mean you can buy or gamble from NPC. But that we could possibly trade items with T6/7 affixes once there are multiplayer?

Should have had me edit it for you :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: Lol
Looking like fun though all those juicy bits.
I already have all notifications set and hitting refresh on the page .
I love editing personally lol. just take a while bc I get anal retentive haha
