Part 2 >.<

2) Make weapons customizable to one’s account rather than to each individual character. On the unofficial wikia it says that the weapons one can get for doing the Bonus Mission Pack stories (Including the Shields!) are customized to the character that receives them. Now I understand that they might be to prevent people from trading such items to those who do not possess the Bonus Mission Pack (and I do not have a problem with that), but seeing that even the shields are customized per character reminded me how much I dislike it that weapons are customized to each character. For example, if I have a Zodiac Sword and Zodiac Strength Shield, I would like to be able to display them on say my monk (for whatever reason). However, 99% of the time I would never have my monk use such items when playing the game. But I would still like to display such nice weapons on my monk if I so wish. However, I would also like to be able to customize such weapons so that my warrior can use them. To give a better and more concrete example of a better reason why customization should be account-based is that if I customize a sword to my warrior which I rarely ever use (but which I will keep because of the skin), but I realize that one of my hero warriors needs a weapon, I would like to be able to give that warrior the weapon.

As I understand it, weapons are customized to balance out the weapon economy. I have no problem with that, I just want to be able to use any weapon (and with the Bonus Mission Pack any BMP shield, staff, wand etc) on any character and yet have them all be customized to gain the benefit from the customization. Changing weapons (and I include shields, wands etc with that term) to be customized to the account would be a small change and would keep the intended purpose of customization intact, but would be so much nicer for players. I think that sums up that idea well enough.

Edit:
This is actually my most desired change, because I can live without titles or more armor, but account-based customization is really necessary for me, because of the way I hoard and such.

Also, what kind of masochist would /notsign this? There are no negatives, only positives to this suggestion. Seriously, this is something that should have been suggested since the beginning.

I'd like being able to use my customized weapons on all my toons too. I don't see why the limitation was per character rather than per account.

I would like it too. I had so many greens customized for my warrior heroes which I would now use on some other charrs. This is a very nice idea. /signed

This game needs more reality not less imo

Customising a weapon gives you very little benefit anyway.

However I would be happy for there to be a way to remove customisation from weapons.

Either a weapon smith service or an effect of the perfect salvage kit to remove customisation.

gremlin do you use a 15^50 sword or a no damage mod sword?
Because customization adds more damage than a 15^50 mod

back on topic...

dumb idea

/notsigned
Btw i dont see how these are "best suggestions" ....

This suggestion is more old than good, and it's quite decent.

MagmaRed · Jul 30, 2009, 01:17 PM // 13:17

Read the forum rules. Two topics so far, and both are ideas that have been suggested before. Find another topic and add to that instead of making a new one. I wouldn't use this much, if at all, but I wouldn't mind seeing it happen. The HoM seems like a good options for implementing it if they did.

Arghore · Jul 30, 2009, 07:17 PM // 19:17

Guess this would need those weapons to be non sellable to other players, but able to switch between characters of the same account, and the option to choose to customise them for a certain character for the buff?

/signed with that in mind..

20% damage increase is hardly "very little"

compared to that you can sell the weapon if it had a good skin

Hmmm, I suppose it wouldn't violate the original purpose of making customised weapons untradable, so I'll /sign. I wouldn't get much use out of this though.

Please use the search function, and don't use idiotic titles for your posts. This is hardly the best suggestion ever. It's actually more like a mediocre already been made several times suggestion that'll never happen.
