chipped/cracked gems

[Death Knight]

I was just wondering if there would be any chipped/cracked in this server???

 

[Leba]

Nope.

 

[Death Knight]

why not?

why not?

Zankza said so on multiple occasions.
But truthfully, base stats (Str, agi, etc.) should be difficult to get. That's something which cracked/chipped gems make way easier, and are too beneficial for certain classes (Cruz) and barely beneficial on some others. (Magic)
Not only would they bring great imbalance, if memory serves they didn't even exist in this version.

The game balance as-is at the moment is good. Magic classes are really strong early and will dominate most mazes for a while. Whereas physical classes will struggle in the early phase of the game, but will be rewarding to play later on if worked on hard. Cracked/chipped gems would mean the same thing, except the magic classes would dominate a tad bit harder early on, while physical classes would be VERY rewarding to play with not too much work.

You're forgetting BD gems.

Also, chipped or cracked didn't appear on official TOP until it was like 3 or 4 years open ( probably even more), and there were no people with lv8UGs or anything. Lv6-7 were the max, and only few had them. So I don't think anyone should worry about what could happen on this server after few years... Decisions like that should be made after those few years, if server is sucessfull for that long. (Really hope it is, ofc)

Chipped>BD gem if allowed to go past lvl 3. Yup.

 

[AppleTree]

Seriously, they shouldn't be added.

 

[Arcadios]

its one of the reason why server will fak up so theres no need to add them and remember this is the old vanilla so there will be no chip nor cracked for sure
