Ring transformation system - Buff stack system Questions regarding the utility of the many limited rings currently found in Classified Strongboxes have arisen. A system in which a number of rings (and other items) can be combined and transformed into something else, for example one superior ring, is currently in development. The system is intended not just to provide a use for lesser rings; it will be an exciting new feature in its own right. We are also looking into the current buff effect stacking logic. Our intent is to, in a balanced way, improve the benefits of combining buff effects of the same type from multiple sources (such as rings, consumables, tools and pets), as well as to allow for the stacking of some buffs that are not currently stackable. Stay tuned for more details as these two new exciting systems develop. MindArk Source
Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky, Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone, Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die, One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie. One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie. Well, once I got this one too. It must be a fake. Neither it makes me invisible nor does it give some additional power ... neither I feel like Gollum or Frodo nor like Sauron. It becomes more and more strange to me. Will Entopia become a fantasy game with magic rings and spells and such? If so, MA have to strain a bit ;-) There are others out there already ... more professional, more user friendly, with plausible stories and meaningful quest-lines, even better for less money.
I was at CPF ... no comments regarding this ring issue so far, no comments to strong boxes. Is no one interested in such new features?
Looks to me that MA is getting itself into a mess of combining stuff. There is no way this can go well if you ask me.
Really... oddness... maybe they are just busy playing the game. TBH I think that is the main reason why forums are not used so much now and also there is the better chat system
Other games I play have forums and are used and the games have an amazing chat system what I see in new chat system in EU is spam in rookie channel most of the time and rerolls everywhere out to get our peds and items Any way nice to hear the stackable news ty It appears Mindark are taking random shots at new things and could lead to mess in the future.
Not sure it is right to say it is a "mess" as such... If there is one thing I trust MA with it is balance as they are nitpicky to the extreme about the economy. They usually won't even tell anyone anything in case it upsets things in the market place. I will say though that I don't have a clue about all these new buffs and mods and if they are worth while or how to use them to efficiently hunt... if indeed they make a difference at all. This isn't to say that no one has a clue though, I like the idea that there is always something new to find out.
Did MA just find some cheap ring models or something? Rings don't seem to make a lot of sense... ok nor do pets with certain buffs I admit... or high end armours that cover less than a bikini... ok you know what, I'll be over here trying to remind myself to stop trying to make sense of everything.
