Is it better for AE to add more permanent rares or no?

I like collecting perma rare items from alpha, but maybe creating weaponsor perma
rares are too consuming because 3d modelking takes time. A recolour of weapons would be dope to go rare.

 

I agree with lots of posts here. More permanent rares so we can show off but yeah that would be more work from AE's side...

 

It's all about resource management... they could always reuse the same model of some items and make a certain color of that model the rare version. A lot of players wouldn't care much for recolors though since they want something truly unique.

Anyway, I believe the new event collection is going to go rare. I also have a feeling the event items you get as a drop or from crafting will go rare as well, just because glowsticks and guitars only make sense for that specific event, and the event is likely to disappear at some point and be replaced with an actual coliseum.

 

I'm crafting everything available there just in case.



Edit: I asked Cysero about this on twitter and this was his response.

 

Well, that is good to know.

 

If i have the items, then yes

 

I'm crafting the items from the VIP area even though they won't go perma-rare. They are still tagged with the year you got them just like other seasonal items. I'll take that.

 

That's what everyone would say.

 

This makes no sense whatsoever, I'm tired of this company sneaking and tricking their players. They have no moral conscience, period! On the homepage they made it seem as though this event stays a month then leaves and never comes back, further emphasizing it with a timestamp of 30 days. This was all to get the maximum amount of people possible to buy the package, and I was one of the people suckered.

Such bs, we grind it hard cause we don't wanna miss stuff like the mic scythe and the punk mage set, only to be told nah it won't go rare sorry, only a couple scraps here and there. Stuff like this is why I hope they lose support and eventually have to shut down before they gain more traction with aq3d. This is sad for me to say as a fan since 2007, and someone who has spent hundreds on their games. They'll gladly hand out an ultra rare item to two people that come see them at some con that 99.9% of their playerbase cannot realistically attend. They stopped caring ages ago.

 

Respect to this comment! Especially the last part.

 

A lot of people expected the items to be rare except for the Weapons & Armors items which fit more with the general theme of the arena. There's always a caveat to everything, and I tend not to get absorbed by those caveats. Things like offers/deals and peer pressure can be enticing, but I think it's always safe to decide at the last moment whether you want something or not than to decide at an instant. I guarantee you AE's next perma-rare is going to be some "limited time offer" Friday the 13th capes.

Also, it would be nice if Design Notes were more descriptive at times, explaining what we should expect but I think they're not descriptive enough because the staff team isn't omniscient -- each team member knows, for the most part, what they're doing, not what the other team member is doing.

 

AE needs to be more clear with things so these kinds of situations wouldn't happen.

 

I dont really care with rare stuff. I just like to hoard all of collections. Hell, I even let all of them in crafting tabs, never take it to save some space in inventory and bank slot. I just take the item if it matches with my current set.

 

The new inventory changes should ease hoarding item to your crafting tab so that's something to wait for.

 

unfortunately we still cant organize it manually since it will be sorted automatically by when we obtained the item.

 

It's a shame that we can't do manual sorting yet even with these new upcoming changes. Maybe some another day we will be able to do it.

 

I hope for this! Im rare hunter and i like spend my time grinding some

 

For me ı love so much permanent rare item..
