Forum > Suggestions > Eliminate all AEQ with less than a +3 attribute or a +5% chance

No one buys or builds AEQ with less than that. Would address agents issues with shopping being too difficult. Would stop Noobs from buying those pieces and then being told they made a mistake. Shopping would still be random so a OL could still get +3 throwing or +5% break block that they can't use.

Thoughts???

a new twist to the reoccurring suggestion to improve shopping. instead of improving the chance of getting a good piece, just remove the chance to get a bad piece.

I'd rather they eliminate unusable pieces (not more +3 catching for OL et c.) than eliminate average pieces that probably shouldn't be used.

But I dont see GLB making either change tbh.

I'll verify it's still true before closing this, but the old standing orders were that Bort liked the way shopping was (risk / reward) and didn't want to change it

Just to be clear, this is not a proposed change to shopping. It is a proposed changed to AEQ. you would also not be able to purchase AEQ with less than +3 attribute or +5% chance.

No one uses them so just eliminate them.

but it would GREATLY affect shopping

considering it doesn't really do anything other than affect shopping... it's got to be treated like that

Ok, I see what you are saying.

This is correct. Shopping is a gamble. Part of that gamble includes getting non perfect pieces. If someone doesn't want the gamble, they have the option to build it themselves.


So the imperfect pieces are there for a reason. Someone without the BTs to build say a +5% and +3 piece may shop, and may end up settling for a +5% and +2 attribute etc, in order to save costs.


Though I will pass-on perhaps a warning to users building pieces that "+3 attribute, +5% pieces are universally considered the most viable choice, are you sure you want to purchase a piece now? You will NOT be allowed to upgrade the base settings at a later time."
