I just have a question, will our current items (i.e. exile drops, collector items) have fast decay on them, and if so I take it we will have to farm for the special items again.

I think Rarebit has said that wont happen, and the decay was a legacy system in place and wasnt intended last time around. That the buff change should be dynamic

HCFrog

Yup, this time around the stats will just change on whatever you currently have.

I'm trying to keep everything similar to what it was under the old rules, so your Direwolf Skin doesn't turn into a code writing coat SMILEY

Thank God! lol

Some of my regular clothing had their stats changed so much I couldn't even use them anymore! Was this intended or will these be fixed as well?

**cloudwolf**

Yeah agree, lets the rest of our clothing fixed shile we're here... surely chaning everything about them wasnt intentional...

**Aquilae**

That's going to take a while...

Chuui

That's going to take a while...

It's better to take the time and get it right, then to rush it and come up with utter ****e.

>revolt_

Why should they change the generic buffed clothing back to what it was before? I mean, why should level 9 pants be more usefull to a level 50 character than actual level 50 clothes? That's just bogus. Just remember yourself that level 50 clothes are much better now than all the low level stuff. And it's not THAT hard to get new level 50 stuff...

is there a list of present clothes on the test server atm, ive been on today to try and farm some lvl 50 clothing

and came up with pants, shoes and jackets, i suspect there is shirts to but i only got lvl40, hats and gloves seems abit harder to find, if they even exist, so can someone be nice to point me in the right direction if this info already exist on these forums.

/cheers illian

>revolt_

I can say that, yes, there are level 50 armored and shielded shirts out there.

Where I found them? Hm, from other players and on the marketplace I think...

Are the updated clothes going live with update 6?

HCFrog

I literally just finished updating all of the collector/dungeon/archive loot less than a minute ago... it will either be in the next patch or the one after that. I'll be sure it gets into the patch notes SMILEY

Now to buff up some simulacras... SMILEY

HCFrog

Oh, and a couple of things to note with new enhanced items.

1. Items never buff stats any more. So, no +15 to focus going on.

The reason: Under the new system, stats count a lot more toward bonuses than any clothing or other additional buffs. If clothes buffed stats, it would throw the whole system out of whack, as well as taking away the emphasis on stats.

2. Buff numbers look different. You'll rarely see anything above +4 or maybe +5, unless it's one of the old buffs to a skill level.

Reason: The new bonuses don't apply to skill level or points of damage, they apply to influences. So, for example, to find out how much damage you'll do, the system combines your stats bonus with your loadout bonus, plus any clothing bonuses or other buffs, to calculate the total damage.

3. Clothing matters less under CR2.

For any influence, the biggest bonus any player will get is from stats. Your stats will give you the majority of your bonus - at least half of your bonus will come from stats. The next largest bonus you'll get will be from your ability loadout, from buffs and such. Then come the buffs from items.

In the previous system, this would have gone abilities > items > attributes. Attributes (now stats) have risen greatly in importance and will have a lot more to do with your fighting ability than they ever did in the past.
