As soon as someone does find a way an immediate change is made to counteract the method regardless of how much fun is sacrificed in the process. Ideally the shoulder armor should be craftable and the items needed to make them magical should be a random drop from killing a mob in the rift area. But this idea isn't cruel enough, obviously. I wonder if those responsible will figure out in time they are in the entertainment business and making things fun for their audience and rewarding for time spent should be the only goal. are you part of the jakerivers fan club... whine a little louder and maybe the devs will wipe your bottom..

We asked for rift mob scaling, and we got it. We asked for better loot chance and and participation for healing, and we got it (actually it existed anyways, it was just clarified). And they're still improving the rifts, so I really don't understand what you mean. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 26, 2016 Personally I think you should get moon metals and special items (rings, bracelents) and things to enchant the shoulder pads with. The shoulder pads themselves should just be high end craftable items... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The shoulder pads themselves should just be high end craftable items... You could even attach the ability to craft them to rifts, something like: * Attend 1 rift to craft wooden shoulder pads * Attend 2 rifts to craft chain shoulder pads * Hit every type of rift monster once to craft steel shoulder pads Just to have it connected to rifts in a basic way (offcourse with some high end skill in chain/plate/carpentry). Special abilites could come from potions dropping in the rift that you can apply to a certain type of shoulder pads. Anyways, I havent seen any improvement on the loot dropping, I was almost on top of every agro I helped kill, reach phenomonal, yet zero loot dropped (aside from the basic seryll lump at the end). Only got 1 shoulder pad so far from the 4 rifts I fought in (all 4 phenomonal, and in all 4 I kept fighting each agro I engaged till it died). 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
