Development Manifesto - Eternal Orbs - Forum

I like this change overall, but I havw to say removing mirror and buffing eternals would have been a better way to go IMO on further consideration. That would leave crafting as an expensive/viable option, rather than completely off the table, and it would remove the massive monopoly so many people are butthurt about.

Mhh. well, i guess, there is the only way to make it fair, from everyone's perspective. After using eternal orb, item cannot have more T1 mods than before eternal orb was used.	Posted by Andrius319#4787 on Jul 6, 2015, 10:42:27 AM Quote this Post
I have 4k hours in this game (some idle for sure) and have never had even 1 Eternal Orb drop... so, w/e. edit: with the introduction of higher tier affixes, this is a very clever way of maintaining the value of current mirrored gear- +1 to GGG in that regard!

Eternals were never the problem, the mirror was. Removing the mirror would make creating 6t1 itens not worth it, but still enabling people to use an eternal on their own itens to improve them a little. What bothers me the most is that most of the people that came here to celebrate this change doesn't even have a single character 85+ (yeah i checked), and probably never used an eternal before.

GGG doesn't balance around permaleagues, they balance around challenge leagues because that's the majority of the playerbase. Most of the community will have a fresh start with the awakening release, except for the hoarders sitting in standard with their legacy bullshit crying for validation, so does it REALLY matter if the rich get richer in standard? Not that there's anything wrong with standard players, just the ones that feel the need to spam their legacy shit in chat and show off their huge e-peen. This is wrong on all accounts. First of all, almost half of the playerbase is in Standard, like 40%. Second, balancing is done with Standard in mind. I just read a post in this thread that said they read a GGG post saying Standard does influence balancing. @wawamelons #1 Hillock farmer NA	Posted by WAWAMELONS#4225 on Jul 6, 2015, 11:07:41 AM Quote this Post

Now let's never say "Who cares about Standard? GGG doesn't balance with Standard in mind again". That post should be stickied. Tired of reading those comments. Half of the player base is in Standard, ffs. @wawamelons #1 Hillock farmer NA Last edited by WAWAMELONS#4225 on Jul 6, 2015, 11:11:09 AM	Posted by WAWAMELONS#4225 on Jul 6, 2015, 11:10:53 AM Quote this Post
1.) Should remove mirrors instead and severely buff the droprate of eternals, but, meh... 2.) Should not let thousands of botted eternals linger in Std, if you want to make changes wipe them all. In Std, all the new tier items will have GG mirror worthy crafts in a week, maybe?
