Maybe the (mi) tag could be extended upon a little bit with a (mi+) for ‘needs 1 rare affix’ & (mi++) for ‘needs 2 or more rare affixes’?
I also wonder if extra tags like (conduit) or, if you wanted to merge this category with those for e.g. superboss items & stuff, (rare leg) or just (rare) / (infr) [for ‘infrequent purple’], would be useful, too – or just bloat the entry size too much.
A short explanation for the curious on how difficult certain categories of gear is to find would probably still exist in the place of the old (g1-5) legend anyways, right?
Just from this we try to get away
Any item have 2 affixes
And some person will to prove that his MI need one rare affix, not two, so he has mi+ or not mi++
What’s why @Stupid_Dragon offer very simple idea
Have MI = MI-tag
Don’t have MI = NO-MI-Tag
And don’t care what affixes have MI item
I get the desire for a simpler system, but the fact still remains that in 95% of the cases, rare affixes are much harder to attain than just a single MI
Edit: Thus denoting that on the tag might still be useful.
Please correct me if I’m wrong, but I mean, showing people how easy a build is to complete is the whole point of gear tags, right? Changing it from (g4) to (mi) is, as far as I understand it, just a way to tell newer people that builds using MIs aren’t neccessarily harder to complete than others.
In case my plan is in effect there would be one Gear Availability memo and that’s it.
You basically want to somewhat rebrand and repair the g-tag system rather than hard remove it. E.g. I can just unite current g1 and g2 and downgrade all non-conduit non-doublerare green into new g2 instead. It will alleviate some of the issues, sure.
Do you think it’s worth it to have short description of gear under active and passive skills instead of tag?
You can explain it like full random drop legendary items or legendary+ 1 MI green without must affixes or legendary gear+conduit. Instead of checking gear and head bang which is your tag, you can write short explanation. I mean people will have idea what is the core of the build and it will not be even that bloated.
Well it’is explained in the thread, I am talking about short description. But Idk, no gear tag will do the same job, cause people will still go in the thread and will see the GT link.
It’s beautiful! Does it work, too?
And why Milton’s over Chosen Mask (maybe even with Celestial prefix)?
I know this is just a meme build, but I can’t… hold back… the urge… to min/max…
On topic:
I would be ok with this as well; but you’d probably have to somehow standardise those descriptions again, and that sounds like exactly the kind of mess Stupid_Dragon is trying to get us out of here
cause 0.5 seconds cooldown on box doesn’t really do anything once you’ve already stacked 3 tethers, electrocute isn’t really the best thing in the world and aetherial damage is always useful for lightning since valdaran is a bitch.
