Shattered Kingdoms

Remove ALL of the sacred armor.

It's dumb.

You constantly talk about how dumb it is that it's zomg easy it is to get phat loot. You should probably start with sacred armor.

Removing all sacred armor is not the solution. Getting middling level armor and protection out of a 3+ piece set of equipment isn't as ridiculous as a single shield giving you GM shield, no matter how much you want to moan about sacred equipment being good or not.

I have no issue with people getting loot; my issue is that there's loot in the game that's outright broken.

Except for the part where sacred eq is always available to you.

Have you died 124235345364564576547567567 times? Do you RP like a [REDACTED] and/or not at all? Here, you can still have a SCRIPTED set of top AC energy! And you'll always have it!

If you want a /real/ piece of scripted eq, you generally have to kill the PC who has it, or convince them to give it to you.

How many pieces of scripted top AC energy/addy armor (the 7 armor pieces) are you aware of?

Hint : There's really not that many. And pieces from the IC/Dreamscape don't count. Cuz you know. They're from the [REDACTED] IC/Dreamscape. Not in the middle of Teron or 10 steps from Exile. Scripts are generally on jewelry, so that it can be used by anyone. Or lower quality armor, so you have to decide if the script is worth it.

How can you say it isn't [REDACTED] that sacred armor is better than armor from the Dreamscape/IC/any number of other difficult areas. How can you say anything else in the game is broken when every newbie and their cousin is running around in top tier armor with scripts.

It's okay I'll hoard them all and go inactive. Like Ashram, the Thuban sprite who is only ever on to retrieve the sacred.

Would you really want people like Anthal running around in adamantite then?

I am pretty sure he would be wearing storebought tanso, if there was no sacred eq.

Then again, there are plenty of diamond suits with great MP to outfit every heavy armor PC in existence, and useless suits of addy, like Terramir's, so maybe not.

Did the diamond in Exile get removed yet?

No.

I personally think it is dumb that if my character died right now, I would have a new suit of top tier armor in 5 minutes.

Then if I died again, I'd have another new suit in 5 minutes.

Around the fifth or sixth death, I /might/ need another PC or two to help me get a new suit. But I know I'd still be able to get one.

Sacred armor is mostly used by noobs. We can't compete with the veteran players, we have to constantly rely upon them. Yes, we try to learn and become better, but it takes times. In the meanwhile, why can't we just have some nice things?
