That is exactly why the Prestige giving out 6* gears is a problem. The suffix reroll implementation would've been fine if it weren't for those 6* gears.I don't get what you don't get Mr. Mikan, for me i'ts clear as the blue sky. You want a short version? Ok!You say VF prestige isn't as outrageous yet it was enough for you to make a thread regarding it? The only main reason why you're so against the idea of being able to perfect the suffix of equips is because of those 6* gears of high prestige players. If that didn't exist, you wouldn't start this thread or those arguments in the first place.Thanks for providing a health discussion.
But, you don't fix a thing breaking some other in process. It's not a good solution. Prestige is the same as VIP system from chinese mobile games, but VF prestige it's not that outrageous as you my think, at least comparing to chinese ones.
As I said, those 6* full sets from prestige are not that strong because of suffix, many prestige players are using 5* equipment sets because they have more control over that, that and 6* being unique (one copy only).
Right now we can farm the Heirloom Set, that I mus say was an incredible idea from the devs, as its worth for everyone.
I even see a lv 15 prestige using a 4 piece 4* Ranger Set enhanced to 6*
Now imagine yet another scenario: 10x Equip Summon:
Problem 1: People complain the rates for a 5* equip is too low.
Problem 2: People complain that when they get the piece of the set the suffix is wrong.
Problem 3: People complain there is not a safety net for a certain guarantee afer x summons
Now let's talk about some solutions to tis problem, first let's think as devs, we need to keep generating income, so we can't give everything easy...
Solution 1: Lets keep the summon rates without safety net, about wrong suffix, well let's create a new system to change that!
Result. People at first will summon the same, until gets all equips from set. They could summon more to get the right suffix, but there is a suffix reset system, he will stop there and reset all suffix that were not perfect for him. -> Devs will lose a little income from players that chase right suffix from Summon Portal, but, huge BUT! The suffix change system will be for any equip in the future, for any equips the game may reward you. Now player that have a full perfect suffix set may not feel the desire to summon again for a new set, unless... well devs create some more powerful set (by bonus set or raw status). ok, we just sped up powercreep. This is similar to the solution devs are chasing.
Solution 2: Lets keep the summon rates with a safety net, for every 10/20x summons you get a random piece from the set, don't create a new suffix re roll system
Result. People at first will summon the same, until gets all equips from set. They will be happier because now even though he may get double pieces he can see the horizon, and this horizon is the full set. He will probably get some duplicates, BUT those duplicates will probably have some different suffix too, so he can chose what's best for him. If he still can't get all right suffix he wants he can summon more to get the right suffix -> Devs may not lose any money, in fact they may even receive more income, because only a small portion of the player base do equipment summons, common opinion is that it's flawed. The safety net can cause some problems, with some people trying for a lot of full sets with right suffix.
Solution 2.1 Instead of the safety net give a random piece from set forever they can implement a different guarantee piece for every 10x summon, random suffix once you receive all pieces the safety net will desapear and you will have to summon again for different suffix or duplicates.
You see, we can discuss a lot of ways to face some of the game problems, we don't need to break the system for that, I like the 2.1 solution as everyone will be happy, F2P players can store 1k Gems to summon a full set (of 5 pieces). In end game the F2P player can get 400+ gems/week. P2P players will feel better with some guarantee and will keep summoning (play the cassino) for perfect suffix if they want.
My solution isn't intended to break something. Prestige is uncalled for in the first place, spending already has it's advantages, adding more advantages for players who already got something for what they spent is going overboard.
Also, it's super hard to understand your wall of text of solutions. Not sure if I lack comprehension or you're having problems trying to explain. No matter how many times I re-read it, it doesn't make sense to my head.
The prestige system by itself is really not totaly game breaking. 6* equips from prestige level were not the reason why I started this, players wanting control over systems and this whole re roll mania was.
6* equips are balanced by themselves by having random suffixes. Now those 6* equips + this new re roll system = players starts to be given control over balance system, THAT is not good and the reason for all of this! Devs are creating this system because some players asked for it and it's being delivered without further analysis of the consequences of that, and those consequences are clear: People will mass use till perfect equips. Devs will need to create more equips that brings the attention of the players more quickly, and this brings powercreep. Giving balance system in the palm of the hand of players generates powercreep and unbalance things.
I want to see people crying about new content developed around this whole Re Roll mania, things will be bad, blood and tears everywhere!
Powercreep is unavoidable, it is there to create a feel of progression. That is why the devs also needs to create more challenging content as the powercreep increases. Isn't this already a normal thing already for most successful games? If there's no powercreep and no new content to cope up with the powercreep then what? We're gonna be stuck with a stale boring content, same thing, same setup, same everything.
I honestly give up explaining. We can just agree to disagree.
P.S. Your explanation might be as clear as the blue sky for you but trust me, ask someone with good grammar or an english teacher or even post it on english-teaching forums to check your post. I'm really sure there's something wrong.
