I want a in game item to hide my equipment and level from other players... it should be a level 100+ item preferably (so players cant just be nubs about it...).
why?
1. i feel that I'm always on the learning curve i study for hours to make stats and builds work on my chars and get really really good results...
2. adds mystery to a char...
3. i dont like that players can just mimic a char and come up with some of the best results...
-i do understand its partially about a players own ability... but still...
4. it increases competitiveness
5. it reduces sins ability to sneak up and prey on lower or weaker players...
6. do i really need a 6? vote and let the GMs know what you think... mk? ty lates
so players arnt like o.O why the heck does a level 81 char care about a item for level 100+ ? lol

I get what you're saying but ehh....
It's 50/50
I personally just look at the weapon if it looks cool xD and wanna know the name of it
Plus wouldn't Eye of Observation negate this item?

There is no point to hide your gears. Full r9rr +12 with josd/deities is the best possible build. There just isn't anything better. Add an r8r set if you want to be creative, but thats only an add-on, and everyone already knows what stats you can get from that anyway.
As for your stat points, people can't see it, so you're safe on that.Zsw -104 Sage Assassin

Hmm not sure to be honest.
I mostly use Player Info to try out a person's fashion (I know you all do it!!!), check the weapon name if I see something cool that I've never seen before and lastly if the person appears to be too squishy in a run so I check on their gear to see why they die so much.
I'm not against nor in favor of it..I guess neutral xD[SIGPIC]http://i.imgur.com/MtwcqjL.png[/SIGPIC]

I can understand the desire for this item, and really, there's no reason not to make one. Especially since they would make it time-limited and a boutique item >>.
In any case, when I'm just standing around, usually I equip a fake weapon.
I figure, if you want to hide your equip on a regular basis, just carry a fake set and put the real and fake set on some hot keys so you can switch whenever you want without going into your inventory. Sure it takes up space, and sins with the bag-checker skill could still see your stuff, but it's better than nothing if you're really paranoid about it right now.0 -

eye of observation will show end results... of buffs and etc... that i dont mind... because then they will be like how the f***.... so no it wont negate. also those who think rrr9 +12 will always win... thats why i wanna hide my gear... because players like you dont know how to make a char... you merely mimic and copy... instead of researching... if my math is correct.. (and im sure it is..) ill become incredibly strong... only a few will stand a chance of winning... and you will need a whole lot to do so... im glad there are responses... and about the suggestions... your right i didnt see it as a posting listing sorry (feel free to move it)
sins do get special abilites to see into inventories i havent seen exactly how its done... but the eye of observation only shows end stats not gears... also theres stats that it excludes... and these i hold most dear to meKittennice - Heavens Tear wrote: »I get what you're saying but ehh....

I'm always paranoid... but i dont want to have to always hide my stuff... what if i need it on the fly? and i keep it in the bank for now... but i dont get to use it that often... whats the point of making special equips if i cant use them more ... all that work... all that money... all that time... and im a show off as well >.< i like showing the end results... not he how i got there for everyone to go pft.... smoke and mirrors (and a slight hint of death... )0 -

Imo, this item is useless. Most popular ppl are well known, there is no need to scan their gear every time you encounter them. I use player info to look at players' genies, just to be aware of what they use. I don't like sins' ability to scan inventory, but this skill is not going to be taken away, i don't care if someone can see my gear and even stats, it's not a top secret[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

1st thing that annoys me on this thread is that Darkdeity doesnt know how to edit messages, instead of doing it, he double/triple posts.
You're lvl 81 and alreayd worried that someone "might steal your build", seriously? Its a game! If you dont want "your build" to be stolen, stay away from people so they cant use stalk your gear?
I see no problem on checking other people, like Desdi said, I use it test other peoples fashion. (and in caves etc to check their gear etc)
I need to say no to this stupid idea.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -
why?
1. i feel that I'm always on the learning curve i study for hours to make stats and builds work on my chars and get really really good results...
by end game there really isn't a huge variety to how ppl stat build and it's mostly effected buy your gear and shards anyho
2. adds mystery to a char...
erm ok
3. i dont like that players can just mimic a char and come up with some of the best results...
-i do understand its partially about a players own ability... but still...
again by time you hit EG there are only rly 2 sets of gear for pvp t3 or r9 so with best will in the world you will still get ppl with same set up
4. it increases competitiveness
im not sure how tbh most times i only rly look at ppls gear if its some1 ik or if were in fws/aba or sot weekly and they keep dieing either way hiding you're gear wont make you any more tanky or ganky
5. it reduces sins ability to sneak up and prey on lower or weaker players...
this will happen regardles jungle belts and eye's of observation and ppl can see your lvl, pdeff,mdeff,hp deff lvl and atk lvl w/o having to look at your gears at all0 -
Other than occasionally checking out someone's fashion, and occasionally a weapon, I could give two s**ts about some else's gear. Pixellated items in game don't make me want to make a sticky sock at night.WeBeKinky Leader - lvl 10x psychic

Personally its not mimicing these days, everyone is geared the same. no one does anything different cause if they do they wont get instances.
as for the sin part, no..it doesn't help with that at all...sins can kill almost anyone if your not expecting them..only way to fix that..get rid of stealth loool like that will happen.0 -
Everyone on Lost City please stop copying DarkDeity's full magic pataka BM build. Design your own OP builds.0

I use it to gauge the strength of my squadmates for fastest and safest results, ie I'll pull half of metal if I have a squad I think can handle the aoes of 18 mobs in a bubble or do single groups if I have people like >6k hp sins or 4k hp casters or pdef ornie BMs/Seekers.
Same thing for how fast does my cleric need to heal a tank? *pervs on gear*
Same thing for who's gonna get aggro. If I have a low hp sin, I may chose not to HF on my BM and to tank over the sin so he doesn't go squish and waste everyone's time while we wait for them to rez.
Player info doesn't show stats and there's only so many gear options. The people who aren't educating themselves on gear options probably aren't investing alot of time researching individual players gears either.
Have a feeling OP is either reinventing the wheel with an ellusive secretive build like a dex based sin, or they're doing something stoopid or ridiculous like axe archer (dat zerk crit!) or 5 aps sword BM, just have to roll the 1:7200000 triple -int boots and chest.Seven 100+ characters leveled the hard way.

No. Maining a healer, I use that function to evaluate my tanks/DDs gear to optimize squad play. Plus, it's a great thing for newbies to learn what they should wear.

Well, the free view player option only shows equipped items, which I honestly don't think is a big deal. People can see your weapon in game anyway and based on that can usually take a guess on which way you would go gear-wise. I personally only use the option to view player to try on fashion, or see what their flyer is if I don't recognize it... and occasionally if I have a person join BH with abhorrently low HP I check to see what the heck they are wearing to get HP that low. xD
As to the Eye of Observation that allows you to see stats, that is something you pay for so they will never make something to counter it. If it wasn't able to do its intended task, it would be worthless.
Same goes for the sin skill. This is a skill they created for assassins to have for the exact purpose of looking into inventories. It would be a pointless skill to have spent time/money on if they made something to negate it. (But keep in mind that the sin skill doesn't let them see equipped gear anyway so it really doesn't factor in, here)
I hope they never do take the view player option away personally, because I like to check out fashion. xD[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

No thats noobish.
Look, its one out of few sin's advantage to be able to sneak and study his target before he actually does something, leave our tactical espionage action alone b:angry
Sins have crappy defenses, crappy HP, no range, no AoE, **** damage against bms/seekers/barbs, heavily rely on crits for without them our damage is ridiculous (seriously, only thing weaker than daggers in game are fists/claws).

I myself went warsoul recast weapon, with r8r armors, t2 nirvy helm and cloak, jungle stone made jungle belt, cube neck, r9 ring, cloud stir ring on a psy. People ridicule me all the time... I get pissed off at times because if I had the money to actually complete my build to the end these others have finished their precious r9rr gears (+12 refines with +2 def / atk stones in gears, not to mention engravings), I would wipe my *** with the majority of them to say the least.
So there is no reason to be paranoid at all about people looking at your gears... because you could put neon signs around yourself saying "=>hey, different gear build here <="... and no one would give a damn, except to ridicule and mock you... But I most certainly voted no on this poll...[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -

1. beating people also involves skill so it would be just the gear
2. not having the coins to finish the build is also a build flaw unless you get linear efficiency
3. feel free to give me a ling of a post where you explain your build or a link to it. I'd love to see if there are improvements to be made.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -

tons of replies... nice.
1. if they have ****ty gear and wanna go to delta they probly cant afford the item im talking about (was hoping it would be like a autorecovery type of item (timebased) and expencive lets say 10 gold a month (not saying it does that healing or anything...)
2. look at my my postes it says user since jan 2009 im a fkn beta player really!? like i wanna use a suggested 100+ item on a 81 player... geez get over the common level.. you really are the main stream kinda players if that was your first clue as to what i wanna protect.
3. my char is already 100 and i have a tried and true method that i KNOW no one really trys for. and even without it being finnished its killing rrr9 +5s... and my weapon is only +5... and my armors are sooo far from completion... its rediculess...
4. as i said before anyone that thinks you cant beat rrr9 or that theres a very limity amount of combos to a char build and class etc is... mainstream... your who i wanna protect it from... lol
5. everyone says they normally use it to check a genie (exactly!) why did you do that? some times to learn and others to know what to expect... from me you should just expect to die...
6. yes i know you all think im arrogant... and i know i come off know it all or what not etc... but i wouldnt wanna try to protect something with money if i didnt know i would own at the end...
7. if i dont get parties with my build i will laugh soo freaking hard its unreal my mystic soloed metal, fire and earth paths the first time i tried them... and none of my gear is past +4 on my crappy armors (as i said thier no where near done and i have to keep the good ones in the bank)
8. someone talked about sins always being able to kill you when they get the jump on you... sorry to tell you my new build its not possible for a sin to kill me when im done. i dont put any actual money into the game i only buy and sell but i still make about 20-40 mil a week doing so... so its going to take a few months to actually finish but time looking for some super rare stuff...0
