Equipement.

Wed Aug 16, 2017 3:02 am

Let's get started with a big topic, I would really like the devs to think and reconsider about it, because Equipement is a big mess, and might be a reason why people could leave the game. (This is my average player's point of view. I played VF since the beta and took a 5 month break between January and May. I'm currently Lv 80 and only spend gems into heroes summoning.)

What I like the most in gatcha games is to collect everything, and get everything perfect in order to become the strongest. And I might not be the only one.

I kept in mind how hard it is to keep a balance in a game, in every possible ways (because I luv VF devs).
But I feel like getting the gear you want is a real struggle for 80% of players in VF (I'm not talking about whales and core members since start of the game (without pause)), but when you look at all those player, how much can tell they've got 1 complete (5/5 - 6/6) set 5* with all the affix they want? Probably few.
I'm not saying that all the gear I've got is useless because they're not complete. But I like order, and Equipement is really messy, there are too much combination that doesn't match and doesn't synergize well with each others.

At the start of VF it was really hard to get even 5* equipement, Moreover who would spend gems in gear summon when there is a few chance to get the gear you want. It was and is still a bad plan to average player to deal with the gear summon. You are way more rewarded with the heroes summon.
That's why I don't like to spend gems into gear summon, though.

But thankfully you added easier way to get equipement, even if it's a long time process, I'm very patient. In fact, raid gear seems like the ultimate and reachable gear for every player. The set effect is really strong and you feel rewarded when you get one "completed".
Still, it's a 4/4 ( :x ) , wich means you'll have to get either 2/2 main and off-hand gear or a 2 handed weapon. Now how much of those can you get right now..? (Should I mention the P2W (2/2) main and off-hands weapons for assassins and champions? (Kappa) ) And the fact that Thiefs only have off-hands weapons?! I mean do you really need a guardian's sword with might affix wich is part of a guardian set???

Enough with the salt, because there are also things I wish could come to the game, I don't only complain, I'll also do my best to improve it, as I feel like a part of this great game.

1.) Proper 5* (5/5 - 6/6) sets. Just add weapon and off-hands to raid's set and everyone will be very happy.

2.) It's a lot of work I'm aware of it, but all the gear you can get thourgh summon is weak now that you added raid and limited event weapons like Heilroom, Just look at your (5/5 - 6/6) and compare it with the raids set, there are no point of getting them now. So.. yeah you should just rework everything.. lot of work. I mean, get the gear summon interresting again.

3.) Give us the possibility to chose the affix we want with Valianite. It cost a lot, and there are tons of equipement, you'll make also everyone very happy with that change. Rng start to be very frustrating at some point.

4.) A good feature I though could be interesting : Some "pages" of equipement, you know the squad window where you have the possibility to make 7 different squad? Something like that with Equipement, that way you can just switch gear from one heroes to another more easily. Same way with the Runes. It would allow us to try different comp more easily. 
Sorry I poorly managed to explain my idea there.  :?

5.) Also, 5* equipement is a goal for people, and 6* a dream, I like this Idea, but you should add a 5/5 - 6/6 obtainable 6* set though Premium bazaar, moreover it is definitely something you should explore more, with 5* rune ticket selector. PVP market is also something you should rework. Like selector tickets. 2000 blood shard is a heavy cost for random gear now.

I feel like I'm very negativ in this post, but gear is a big part in this game. And still, there are changes I really likes that came while I was away from the game, like the merg system and new units. And I'll always try to make this games more enjoyable for everyone, not only me.
I know I'm asking for a tons of things, and I know you guys are giving your very best for us already, that's why I'm able to write so much, and I'm already very thankful for this.  But I hope I'll change the dev's mind, even a little bit. (I'll be avaible thourgh DMs if you want to talk more devs btw *wink wink*)

With my very best regards.
