Item Upgrade System Petition

I know you all are fed up with your items breaking... Lets see if we can do something...
Ok, I have been told of several flaws in the upgrading system. 1)Rune stones of protection: Not worth the ap to get them. 2) LC USA is still using the beta safty lvl +3... where other servers have did +7 or higher... (I'm from LC Malaysia originaly i know) 3)in stead of HS just failing they pull your ++ item back one if under +10... or back to 10 if its higher than 10...

From experience i know hat its like to lose items due to the 1% hs break point... seems to me that 1% is more like 10% I have asked about this ordeal with many ppl on the LC US game in Katar and also have tested it once or twice... the HS true percentile ratio is 50% success 49% fail and 1% break... GM's have been trying to make the upgrade system better and done nothing but fail, at leas they are trying.... cant say much for the former GM's in my old version... some people who are like me (Old School levelers) know how much that extra upgrade is worth... also pvp toons are knowledgeable of them...

What I am trying to put across here is this....

The upgrade system is more of a joke than of use.... you fail and you have a high chance of losing your item and those without the ability in this rough economy cannot buy the AP to buy a un-break hammer (which i like... just never used cause that very reason... I'm poor...) people selling the +15 items at a ridiculous price will eventually crash the LC economy... it happened in LC Malaysia and its part of the reason the servers shut down on October 31st of this year... as well as a few others in which i will not go into. To fix this this is my suggestions... take the rune of protections off the market ... its a failed attempt they normally don't work... set the safety to at least+7 (Why? Because it would encourage alot of new players to actually start upgrading themselves... learn the game and enjoy it) If Aeria wants the AP profit (Which buys new packs and add ons your"updates" if you please...) add chaos stones onto the shop... I hear Aeria holds upgrading events, hold them more often ...it will help us players... and if any one who signs the petition has a good idea, that will benefit both Aeria and us as players please, especially those whom have migrated from other servers... like me and know a few ways the GM's of their old version did to set a fair and working upgrade system.

Now... I know that allot of people will go against everyone having +15 items... well let me straighten this out... not everyone will ...i still want a challenge but i don't want it nearly impossible to do it... I just started on LC USA and this is the biggest gripe i have, nothing T's me off in this game than worrying about losing a rare set or weapon cause a flaw... and btw if you wish to know some tricks on upgrading your gear just pm me cause i would like to see more of them floating around ...and I'm not asking for a super price drop just a reasonable one but since the players make the economy of LC its up to us there... this is just a petition to make a working upgrade system... not cover it up with more flaws... (Sorry GM's you've been doing your best and i really think this needs done though...)

Pardon most my typos cause I have not slept in a day and a half cause me feeling under the weather,... no i don't want to hear sorry or anything so moving on...

Post in this thread only if you support that only one thing happens if the rest does good.. but the +7 safety needs to be done... I'm tired of running around with a very lucky +4 all the time... or breaking my items most the time... (but i would like to see that HS only fail and not down grade too)


And Start!

Good Hunting,

i think that after +10 fail and break chance increase and rate of success decreases

I would like the safety up to +7 too. So i would have to agree. I'd have a reason to use my right level set instead of a lower level set that has a high +; like im doing now lol...

A fun bit if info: To upgrade a weapon to +15 with only normal smelts, you would need about 531,441 copies of the weapon, as you would break that much before finally succeeding.

As a pure mathematical exercise you may have made a correct statement but in practice it only took me 5 poetic daggers to get a +15 using only smelts. the funniest part was the first made it all the way to + 13 before breaking and none broke at less than +6. That is the beauty of randomness, the luck of the draw smiles and farts rainbows on occasion.

Only 2 versions got the safe zone to +7, they both closed this year... +3 is the standart, not +7...

Anyway, according to the korean release note for their ACT3, it seems taht we will get a new HS sucess rate for EP2.
