Changes to WoE

[azurerogue]

I know I said I would probably not respond - but your argument about god items piqued my interest.??When, then, would you say heRO would be ready for god items???The server has been around for four years now.??And these changes wouldn't make it easier to make god items, they would simply make it more strategic and would allow guild (and their enemies) to make a concerted effort to make/stop someone from making god items - as opposed to leaving it entirely up to chance.??

But, honestly, god items do not "break the game" to the extent everyone seems to think they do.??Yes, double megs on any str-based character will be amazing - but that's one character (wielding TWO god items, btw).??If an entire guild can't stop one character with god items, then they wouldn't have stood a chance against an enemy guild anyways.??On top of that, even with the exponential benefits of strength, double megs are not "instant win."??An optimally geared SinX with access to no MVP cards and double megs would deal about 8k damage to my Professor (assuming I do NOT have assumptio)...??that's not game breaking.??

I do appreciate your suggestions in general, as they add more to the pool of possible changes that might help WoE out.??But the idea that god items will "break the game" is far too widespread.??They change the metagame - they do NOT end it.??

EDIT: Also, just for comparison, if you decide to wear double megs into WoE (or carry double megs at all), you're giving up the inventory weight of 320 condensed whites. Just food for thought.
