Lets say that you already captured an elite skill on a PvE character. Now you are on another PvE character and you happen to need that very same elite, why not just make it buyable from one of the end game skill traders. I mean you already captured it, it's just tedious to redo it. Let's say make it a skill point and twice the money cost a regular skill would be. Any thoughts?

Soul Shaker · Mar 17, 2006, 07:45 AM // 07:45

actually, people would just get runners there...

LightningHell · Mar 17, 2006, 09:40 AM // 09:40

Well, technically you could put it only with Dakk. People don't generally run for Thunderhead Keep.

I'm neutral with this.

walder · Mar 17, 2006, 10:25 PM // 22:25

Yea, I was thinking of only Dakk so people couldn't just load up on elites too easy.

frickett · Mar 17, 2006, 10:30 PM // 22:30

doesnt matter how many elites you have you can only equip one at a time. I also am neutral.

Soul Shaker · Mar 18, 2006, 12:28 AM // 00:28

Not many people get a THK run, but hello new business...people will find a way around it as long as they have money. When they fix the ascalon arenas and elites at low lvls, i'll support this.

walder · Mar 18, 2006, 12:38 AM // 00:38

I don't think it would become a popular run because you wouldn't get to unlock new elites. Its just for when you have a specific PvE build you want to make.

Mercury Angel · Mar 18, 2006, 12:42 AM // 00:42

If you can get a run to ember light camp, it'd only make it easier to get any elite you want on your character; However, if you can get a run to ember light camp, you can already get pretty much any elite in the game anyway without being run there.

With that in mind, I support this. Not really going to impact me much, but less repeat work for people is always nice (seeing as they still have to unlock the skill in the first place).

Russell.Crowe · Mar 18, 2006, 02:50 AM // 02:50

I don't like it because it gives people a reason to be lazier than they already are. Work for your skills, thanks.

walder · Mar 18, 2006, 03:00 AM // 03:00

Well you still would have to work for the skill, the first time. Its just that you don't have to work for it every other time after that. But really you still need to do some work as it will still cost you a skill point and a certain amount of gold.

ions · Mar 18, 2006, 08:54 PM // 20:54

I like this idea... very good

Mavrik · Mar 18, 2006, 09:04 PM // 21:04

Most of you are missing the point. Oh so people get run to ember light camp (not a possible run anyway as fighting and KILLING is required for THK) Doesn't matter anyway, they can't buy an elite unless they capped it already with another character of the same class. To me that makes sense... a rather good idea..

/signed for the heck of it.

alen · Mar 18, 2006, 09:10 PM // 21:10

im for that cause u really have to torture yourself to get some elites so it would be better if this tourture is only once in a lifetime:P

*Has horrifying recollections of capping Migraine, Ether Prodigy, and Shield of Deflections*

Yes, that's something I'd like to avoid if I ever need those skills again x_X

Ggraphix · Mar 22, 2006, 05:51 AM // 05:51

I like this idea too.

you should be able to re-buy unlocked elite skills from each area they are available in
ember light camp- having all of them if unlocked

Vilaptca · Mar 22, 2006, 05:55 AM // 05:55

I support this.

If you've ever deleted a PvE character to make something else and then deleted that to remake what you first deleted, you know how much it sucks going back around recapping all those elite skills.

Just thinking about capping Ether Prodigy gives me nightmares... *Shudder*
So, for the same reason as Angel, /signed.

skretth · Mar 22, 2006, 10:36 AM // 10:36

its okay.. but would make things unfair.

I have unlocked every skill in the game on my elementalist (even hundred blades)

Does that mean jsut coz i go create a new warrior toon i should be able to buy it? especially earlier on then the skill allows??

broodijzer · Mar 22, 2006, 01:43 PM // 13:43

maybe they can only make it so you can only buy elites from the areas you've already been to, and when you finished hell's preciple you can buy all previously unlocked skills.

skretth · Mar 22, 2006, 01:59 PM // 13:59

but how hard is it to get rushed to droks then iron mines, finish that, finish thk, get through alst 3 missions with guild then hey presto i can now buy every elite on my character.

i think that keeping hte elites to be a "captured" skill better, just make the bosses spawn more often (if multiple spawns) and make the capture sig free.. since u already have to gain the SP
