RoG in PvE - Phoenix Freeshard

dude.

DUDE.

DUUUUUUUDE!

The RoG itemization on the server are such a welcome feature. Not only do the bonuses from these items make soloing actually feasible (even though there are so many more incentives to group xp,) but they make my toon look cool, and encourages PvE and make it enjoyable. I liken it to opening up a pack of MtG cards (slaying a mob) and finding a sweet rare (sweet loot!) Thank you for this very important feature, and I would urge/request/appreciate the team continuing to explore this model to continue driving PvE encouragement (like rare glowy RoGs, more skins, etc!)

So far this server has proven to me that a few choice QOL adjustments can make this great game even greater. I really appreciate everyone's effort on this server! It's been fun to play!

If all rog items could have a random skin it would be even greater. There are thousand of skin to chose from. Old glowys or artefacts or new epic stuff.
Hole new world.

Additional ROG customization is something that can certainly be looked into. From a technical perspective, it's not very high on the list tho, as you can imagine. Other things that need fixing at the moment.

Totally understandable, and fantastic that it's at least on the team's long-term radar! Cheers!

Agreed with this. RoG items are already a fantastic addition to the game, but everyone looks identical while leveling. Greater visual variety or limited randomization would allow me to feel unique again.

I posted in a different thread about this, but personally I'd be more in favor of removing the skins and just keeping it vanilla. It just doesn't look right and these skins should be put on gear that is actually rare or unique in some way (i.e. OTD's or set dungeon drops). Procs might need some tinkering as well. It would be nice if there would be a % chance on a drop that it will have a proc. Make it a little more exciting to sift through all of the RnG gear and also so it doesn't all feel the same.

Ew. I would not be in favor of that. Maybe the items that roll a proc from my previous suggestion could roll a different skin, but other than that no thanks. It just wouldn't look right and would feel too custom.

Agreed.

Skins should be basic and vanilla. If we are getting fancy - have them select from a randomized pool of the more 'basic' skin options. Leave the fancier models and glowy stuff as something special.

There still needs to be something special. It's not high priority - but while I like the RoG's I also feel like it cheapens some of the dungeoneering and adventure. You know when you beat up a named mob that you find that you aren't going to find anything particularly unique from it, just another RoG. At least at lower levels. Obviously up high they've got the feather system/etc.

honestly it is really important for the final release of this server, cause no one wants to look the same then everybody else, especially when you look with lvl 10 like a 50 on broadsword server

(this skin is really ugly)

/Agree with a lot that's been said here. I know getting the vanilla skins worked into the ROG system isn't really a big deal atm (being that's we're early into beta) but I think it's imperative for the final product. IMO the crazier looking skins should be more rare/high level, etc. I'm sure the staff with get to it eventually.

PS thanks for the cloak remover!

completely disagree with some above. The flashy gear is awesome! at whatever level. I'd probably level faster if i didnt have to stop and rave over the random drops with all the stats, procs, colors, etc. everytime one dropped. . Vanilla aint workin out so well other places....

I think it's more that, at least right now, everyone looks exactly the same at every level (exception of dyes). Flashiness doesn't have the same appeal if everyone has the same "flash" :p

I think it is a very needed addition for those people who have only spare time and may need to earn xp as a solo in that spare time. I reckon most of the old players from way back than are at this state.
So great idea, thanks for the work so far.
