Requirements of item set combos

[Ruhoho]

If it is even possible to remove some and or all requirements of equip set combos, would you be in favor of these kinds of adjustments? If you vote yes or no, please give a little explanation behind why.

You'd have to specify which ones you have in mind, cause lol @ odins/valk shield one. etc. 

[Ruhoho]

I voted for yes. There are hardly any item set combos that include highest tier equipment. The majority of the combos are laughable to top-tier WoE and PvP players. The adjustments should be on specific set combos that have a moderate potential for use in mid tier meta-game. The players without the best gear would become stronger.

But generally the combo effects are only imbedded into one of the items in the set, so by stripping the combo requirement, while you may be increasing the usefulness of one item, you might very well be decreasing the value of the other(s) in the set. I think this is one of those things that would need to be looked at on a case by case basis.

Most of the cards that will depreciate in value are not used frequently already. The loss of their value is far less than the increase of the buffed item's values.

But the whole point of combos is that it's a lot rarer to get those two (or more) cards than just one, so you have to spend a lot of time or some money in order to get the combo you want.  It isn't just about making certain cards or items more valuable/useful, it's about making things work together.

The combos aren't usually used very much though, so even despite that I could still see reducing requirements.  It would also be cool if over time the cards which became depreciated could later be given new stats or buffs so that we could have some new cool cards on this server /slur But that's a lot of work for the GMs, so while it sounds cool I don't think I'd give support to it, since there are much more useful and important things for them to work on than that.

I want the Paladin combo so hard ;~;

[Varis]

I do agree that many of the combos just aren't worth the effort/cost of obtaining/using them. Rather than eliminating combos, though, would it not be better to buff them so that they become useful? I like the idea of combos. It's a fun game mechanic, and if it can be salvaged, I think it should be.

I was thinking of suggesting the something like this.

Some of the gear/card combos are pretty nice, and removing certain requirements such as a specific headgear/headgear card, would really make them useful on this server.

[SwiftStrike]

yeh....for some of em u'd have to sacrifice kahos or a GR. i dont mind accessories/garments/shoes since they arent exactly a "must" for some classes

personally though, i think the morriganes set is fine.

I was about to say something sorta like this.
