Using class/quest items in events
Posted: Thu Dec 28, 2017 6:01 pm
I think this kinda goes along with my other post about item progression being meaningful. Class/quest oranges/crimson weaps are not allowed in some events, and personally I think this is the wrong approach
In their current state these items are -barely-, if at all, better than humming 400PP items, which anyone with the PP could buy. It makes progression feel dumb when you get a cool item and, oh, you're not allowed to use it because it maybe will do 2% more damage. I get that we want balance in events, but I think in this instance we've gone a bit too far with it and are basically punishing people for having marginally better gear.
I only really like playing my zerker in most events, and I can't even play it in some of them now because my weapon is disallowed. Same with people who won stalker items, and the guys who won necro items. I'd rather fight against them and feel good about beating someone with better gear than not see them in events at all. And if I lost, well let's be honest RNG was the determining factor in 99/100 of those fights.
