BoA :artifact equipment

pufy2010 · December 2014

Hi guy's Alizea here.

Hear me out ,i have a simple yet game saving idea

BoA Artifact equipment.

Definitions :

BoA :Bound on account (all chars from within the account ,can use it)
Artifact equipment : Neck/Belt (in the future shirt/pants).

+ and -

- :In Short term no Gain for crypt.
+ removes the player anxiety/fear to make an alt char
+ more chars = More fashion/More RP to lv up Normal artifacts ,More mounts , more enchants , More time spent, more reasons to play this game ,more goals (happy player,happy zen ,happy Crypt).
+ more gain in long term (Smart MMorpg's Company aim for long term's , common ones for short terms).

Normal artifacts are at a decent rate to refine,painfull but can be done.
But for Artifact equipment ,it's Hell to imposibile and your stuck at 1-2 char's only.

I vote yes for BoA Artifact Equipment.

I don't think this will solve the powercreep. The costly part about artifacts is to refine them.

I do still like this idea very much for one thing: ALTS! Refine your artifacts, equipment belts and equipment necks once, then you may simply have your alts use them. This will enable more people to feel free about playing their alts and trying out the other classes.

Voted yes just because of this common sense answer.

nice it would be good but! they dont want to lose money off people that "P2W" makeing boa artifacts would be nice and all but they just wont they would lose money

As popular as this may be for us players i dont think is something they would do. This topic has been since the introduction of artifacts, keeps poping from time to time and till now there wasnt any change, has to do i guess with their plan to rotate the FOTM class and this thing will hinder their income...

isuuck2 · December 2014

they won't do it though. Why would they do something that you make their costumers like them?

tsokushin · December 2014

I would have to disagree on people that say that they would lose money from this decision.

Cryptic only has to keep players playing, while making things friendly for new players to keep revenue up. ( if you're familiar with this terminology, keep em playin, and the house always wins)

Having this BoA would certainly make this game enticing for current players to test out how a certain builds would work on other classes.

Keep in mind, they would have to certainly have enough RP to level 1 of each type of belt/cape that they desired.

Um, no. I like the idea of each character having to grind for each individual item. Same reason you can't farm glory on one toon and buy items for other classes on account - its a form of "cheating" the system. Isn't that way paying is for? Farming is the one thing going for free players. Just don't, please. ><

Disagree with you here. It's not a form of cheating, and you can certainly continue to grind them on a single character. But let's be honest here. If you had both a CW and a GF, would you really consider it feasible to grind RP on the GF over the CW?

As it is with BoA RP, this is currently the case as people take an AoE class to farm RP than a non-aoe class.

I farm on a devoted cleric, and its possible. :P

Pst. Glory items used to be BoE until they changed it because of bots ruining pvp. So not it is not a form of cheating the system. Enchants are completely unbound too. Honestly getting one too maxed out is tough enough, having more than one is just impossible. Surely even pay2winners have their limits there?

andikttn · December 2014

Nope! I think free players need to stop begging for more help and learn to do it the hard way. Oops! ><

Yeah, why not? Why not even make Proffesions BoA, so when you get to level 20 in Leadership on one character, you have level 20 Leadreship on all 50 characters.

charononus · December 2014

No. Making an alt is a time investment. You know you're going to have to put in a lot of work into it. Might as well ask for full BiS to be mailed to you when you hit level 60. Just no.

You can say the same thing about rank 10s and perfect enchantments. Those aren't bound *touches wood*. Gear also used to be completely unbound. It really is impractical to expect to ever get bis on more than one character if even one. I'm sure if enchantments were introduced at a later date they'd bind the hell out of them though.

I would have no problem with enchantments binding maybe once they hit rank 7. Maybe even rank 5. I also think that no piece of epic purple gear should ever drop BoE, it should all be BTCoA.

There is no way to farm enough RP in anymore. No dungeon is farmable anymore. Belts and even cloaks do not give a good rate of return.

kolatmaster · December 2014

I see pros and cons for it honestly, personal I am fine with how things currently are but if such a change came I'd obviously use it... lol

However, no way it's going to happen as I think it would cut into the profit margins a bit too much.

There is also this logic...

Which I'd have to say I agree with. Harsh, but true! :cool:

flyingleon · December 2014

No, the equipment which are bound to character seems natural to me. What I hope is that one can use the artifact equipment to refine others without losing a lot RP. Because each artifact equipment (legendary) require massive RP, I do not want to invest so much if I change it.

blacksladdi · December 2014

sounds great, but will never happen as there isn't enough benefits for cryptic in doing this.

epic is good enough for most people, also doesn't break the wallet if you invest a mod to upgrade them to that.

lazaroth666 · December 2014

I would love to move my 25+ legendary items across my characters, unfortunately, the product manager already said that this will never happen because is against their business.
