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 
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
What program are you using btw?
I’m a little skeptical about this change honestly. I fully concede that I may be in the minority here, but I’m a bit of a perfectionist. This just seems to invalidate anything that doesn’t have a t6 or t7. Not to mention the ranges for the inherent item stats. Maybe having exalted items always roll with maxxed inherent values as well could work.

That’s a neat thought about the implicits always being maxed out with T6/7 items when they drop. We are very aware that we are introducing a much higher RNG ceiling to drops with this update. We will for sure keep an eye on it and respond to feedback. We aren’t afraid to tweek the numbers and modify the system until it’s awesome! Keep that critical feedback coming.

are gear implicits affixes going to be buffed? because right now I feel implicits on some of the item slots are extremely lack luster, like the relics for example.

Does this mean that encounters and game difficulty aren’t going to be heavily balanced around T6/7 items?
Are there also any plans to limit the trading of T6/7 items?
While Iam glad to see new staff, it reminds me a bit early days of Diablo 3, where rare items in theory supposed to be best in slot. (and legendaries / sets items were pretty garbage)
But people after months of playing and not getting updates started to complain, that forced
Blizzard to change their itemization strategy.
People, who with the most HYPE now ofcourse think, that they are the ones that will get perfect rolled T7 items, because why not, if they play 24/7.
And same people can get very disappointed, if they end up with same t5 items they have now, but with nerfed ranges. (in that context i was pretty against nerfing T5, and t6/t7 must have really high ranges to balance with rng to get them)
Also iam afraid that those items starting instability will be pretty high, that will make optimizing of item almost impossible
