Recast=dumbest idea ever

Elemental_w - Heavens Tear

Lol everyone thinks it's a good thing, am I the Only one who realizes that there might be rank 8/9 5.0 base attack sins? Sounds awesome until you're getting killed in pvp/tw before you can blink, not to mention it's super expensive just to recast r8. Faction base req.. And items, rofl. This is either devs not thinking clearly or just another excuse to pour outragoius amounts of $ into the game b:surrender

Recast R8? b:question

I know I've not been playing much but I'm sure I would of heard of that by now. >>

Cant be any worse than how it is currently.

Plus, the chance for a 5aps base sin is so low theres probably going to be like 2 ever. Noone will really give a flying ****.

*cough*

You seem to be able to get the recasting materials from quests as well, so this might actually work out.

Oh come on.

According to the latest info, only the chest and boots can get -interval. According to Astrelle's calculations the chance for getting -0.15 on the chest is 1:314,480 and the chance of getting -0.1 on the boots is 1:148,370, and the chance to get -0.15 on the boots is 1:296,296,296.

You'd need all of these to get 5.0 base. I'm not really into probabilities, but since Scroll of Tome is 1:10,000, I'd say it's a pretty safe bet that no one is going to have 5.0 aps base.

Heck, I'd even say that 4.0 APS base is unlikely.

Also, considering teh probabilities, I'd say that there will be maybe a handful of people who will go for the mighty 5.0 aps R9 on Assassins. By "handful", I mean about maybe five people across all the servers.

Oh, and since each of the recasts costs 1m coins, you're looking at a 5.0 aps R9 costing an additional 148,370,000,000 coins. Last I checked, no one on the servers walked around with 150 billion coins.

You're forgetting the -.1 set bonus for getting 3/4 R8 pieces. The easiest way for a sin to get 5.0 base is to get 2x -.05 on the chest and 1x -.05 on the boots and have recast pants. That's a total of 1800 recasts which seems prohibitive. G15 nirv sac strike + -int daggers by comparison take 20 recasts.

Im sorry I didnt stare at the image long enough to get depressed by their extreme wealth? b:puzzled

Additionally, theyd only have to do it 14 more times. If you can make 10 bil, you can prolly make 150 with time.

Depends on if he farmed it or merchant'ed it. If it was mostly from farming, it'll take 10 times as long as he did up to now. If it was merchant, yet, probably won't take as long. This is assuming the pic is even real, since the 3rd 0 has the same missing pixel on the right lower part as the 2nd 0.

It only seems bad since it's made for CN servers. Not like over here where you can just buy r9 relatively cheap or get any other broken stuff from packs.

Anyhow I love the r8 recast expan, as that just dropped the amount of cash I need to invest in my psy for what I want by over half, if not more, what I had originally planned.

Well yes, I didn't think of the set bonus.

Even so, 1800 recasts still comes to 1.8 billion coins. And then there's the issue of acquiring the faction base mats, which most likely will make it not time efficient.

And since demons can already get 4.0 aps, I can't see many going for the very expensive 5.0. And since there are so few Sage sins, I'd say that angle is also dead.

I'd say it'll end up being like Warsoul, we'll probably see a handful of people with it, but that's where it'll end. Unless of course PWE puts the mats into the Boutique or makes them accessible by some non-farmable measure.

Thats the genius of it tho. Everyone will think "Il be the lucky one" and theyl charge and try again and again and again.....

Plenty of money for PWE, plenty of people wasting their APS earnt cash for more APS. Lul.

This, there is no point to get the new stuff since the current stuff overkills PvE, and PvP is pretty much..............stupid. However, players will be willing to dish out excessive cash if it means they can gain that tiny bit extra of any bonus they can have over the general playerbase.

PvE -> More fun and challenging in lower gear, such as TT99.

PvP -> More fun and diverse in lower gear, such as Nirvana.


Everything else above it creates boredom, and just isn't necessary. The level cap needs raised to offset the ridiculous power of current endgame gear imo. People cry for more content, and PWE is giving it to us, I applaud their efforts, alas it's the wrong kind of content.

rank 8 recast is comparable to vana and opens up a variety of new pvp styles, plus it seems to be cheaper.
