[2021] More minion unique items please!

It’s fine to have differing opinions but let’s keep things civil. I have deleted several off topic posts.

I am a senior developer and one of the designers that was heavily involved with the Legendary item system. So while I’m not the one person responsible for this, I did have a hand in it and am very proud of the system. While it’s not perfect and we are still ironing out a few little things, I feel like it’s going to be very popular going forward.

I feel like there may have been a bit of a miscommunication as to the intention of these new items. Legendary Items are very rare and not absolutely necessary to have in every slot. These are end game chase items that you’ll be working towards.

Finding super end game uniques with LP at all is going to be very rare. Possible but very rare. It’s difficult to look at an item system and not want to plan for BiS but I think that’s a big difference between ARPGs and MMORPGs, you can’t really get BiS in every slot in an ARPG while you are expected to strive for BiS in each slot in a MMORPG.

I understand the draw to want perfect gear and that’s fine but that’s not the game we are designing. You won’t have perfect gear. You’ve got to decide on priorities and pick the best of several imperfect options. This type of decision making is something we look to add to almost every system. The shape of your idol inventory so you don’t just end up with 1 type of idol, skill trees having more things than you can ever get at the same time and gear that you’ll need to evaluate and swap around as you find new pieces.

Part of the reason that we have introduced the crafting update at the same time is because they play off of each other quite heavily. Most of the new crafting items can be useful when preparing your exalted for creating a Legendary Item.

There is a lot of RNG involved with assembling a really great legendary item. Along the way you’ll probably get several good ones too.

Thanks for the feedback.
