god items discussion

[GM-Ayu]

We will *NOT* add the God Item Quest as it is identical from original server. Besides the mentioned easy giveaway of 50 lv 4 weapons, most noticably ice picks, we also used most of the maps for custom quests (this being the primary reason why we can't just add the original God Item Quest "as is.")

I guess that if Belial posted as a player, I'll also post as well from my own player standpoint instead of a GM, I guess...

No matter what happens, I am against "scaling" the god items to lesser value in the name of "fitting the server's needs" better.

Either we have them, or we don't have them, or we have a customized methods to obtain them with the stats that they are right now. Just PLEASE reconsider, Pandora, if you will modify God Item stats and I strongly advise against it.

Once one official item gave in to be adjusted to the "server's needs" (when was the last time people agreed to server's needs?), it starts a first example and a chain of response to start modifying other "questionable items" that are powerful. Most noticably, it's almost always GTB MvP card that's the first to be under attack by this type of thing in many other servers.

Many other servers gave in and have a Mjolnir that only gives +10 dex for example, and then the next thing is the GTB card went from spell immunity to "MDef + 90." And then more problems start as server splits to support the new change and those that want the old card effect back because it's ripping them off after working so hard to camp a MvP to get the card.

Adjusting the stats of one official item, and every other official item becomes endangered to be changed. If Sight and Ruwach's 1 cell difference got a thread that lasted beyond 1 year and 1000 posts combined, how furious are people going to be in debating about how to "properly modify" God items to heRO's needs?


If they are considered balance, keep status quo.

If they are considered broken beyond tolerance, take them out entirely and trade god item ingredient for other equipments/cards/whatever.

If they are strong but only acceptable if low in number, make a hard quest for them.

Just don't modify the god items...
