Simple thread, looking for all input and votes that you feel are necessary....

Should GWEN drops be inscribable?

We have all seen the steady decline, or vast decline for some items, do the the inscription factor of nightfall drops....

What once was rare, is no more....

Add your comments, and cast your vote...

Personally, i think they should not be, i think inscribable items, yet wanted something along those lines by many many ppl, ended up ruining the market...

Purples r worth nothing, Golds can all be made to the same status....

ANET PLZ STOP BREAKING THE GAME THAT I HIGHLY ENJOYED FOR THE LAST 2 YRS....

Quoting myself from a post on page 3.

The ideal behind what i am trying to get across is this....

There are many many non inscribable items that are perfect, and still not expensive... Crafters also can make u anything, perfect to any level, that cost 10kish...

If the causual player just wants something that is perfect, 10k is nothing....

There are some rare inscribable items, still.... Tormented, elemental swords....

Many people play the game for many different reasons.... some just farm, some to get every char threw the end of all the chapters, some just pvp, some love 1 class and want to own "rare items" for that class....

My point is more then "the market, or economy". They are making it so nothing has any value, except for the very limited number of some mini pets (that were only released to asia, wierd)... me personaly, i hate mini pets... i thrive on rare skins and stats....

Just an example : There use to be say... 1000 req 9 fellblades 15^50.... now there are 1,000,000 atleast, because all fellblades can be turned into this... so the value, price, want for this item is cut to bits.... Still just 50 mini zheds...

Now your saying.... its just a pet, get a cheaper one... good point... well it is just a sword... get a cheaper one.....

So now, i sell my fellblades, and collect... say.... Spatha's.... guess what.... GWEN about to come out.... guess what... inscribable spathas are proly about to come out... guess what.... time to sell the spathas....

But why, have i not done all i can, as a legit player to earn the perfect spatha?

This is not about "im greedy and want to be only one with this item, because im greedy" this is, i have done my time, i have farmed, i have power traded.... why should someone who got the game 2 months ago, beable to have the exact same things i have?

What is there honestly to "earn" in pve? What is there for the other then casual player to do other then turn a few red dots to grey dots players to actually strive for?

I remember once upon a time, before inscribable.... when a purple item was value, when the "causal player" just went and used greens, or collectors...

How bout this, make everything inscribable, go for it.... and take out all crafters, take out all greens, take out all rare items, make all swords "gladius" make all axes "war axes" all hammers "war hammers" and all staves "jeweled"... lets see how happy that makes all the casual players....

There use to be a point in the "items, rewards" for your pve play, time, and enjoyment... now there are almost none.... you say, play to play, yes, but what happens when u beat the chapter? should i just stop playing till another campaign or expansion comes out? what happens when GWEN is the last one... guess i got about another 2 months left to play.....

They will be. End of thread.

VinnyRidira · Aug 21, 2007, 06:14 PM // 18:14

I would like to see all blue weapons as inscribable, the perfect add ons are not that easily obtained. Blue weapons are never regarded as to their real worth anyway.

MMSDome · Aug 21, 2007, 06:17 PM // 18:17

They probably will be but I hope they are not so that the value of weapons says high!

Diddy bow · Aug 21, 2007, 06:18 PM // 18:18

nope, i dont think so. No matter how much a-net tries to squash it this game has an economy... However they will be inscription

Aenur · Aug 21, 2007, 06:23 PM // 18:23

I'd like to see both in gwen.
Inscribable for the majority and non-inscribable for the rare skins.

Starsky-sama · Aug 21, 2007, 06:24 PM // 18:24

I voted yes. (bcuz I think they will make it inscribable. we'll see.

)

but If it really counted, I would say "no", due to the fact that I wouldnt mind new items actually going back to the standard of being "rare" again. Not just the skin but the (inherent) stats as well.

/g'day.

Loviatar · Aug 21, 2007, 06:30 PM // 18:30

rumor is and i hope true is that not only GWEN will be inscriable but unified across all chapters

again rumor and again hopefully so to allow the base of the players nice prettys

Bryant Again · Aug 21, 2007, 06:34 PM // 18:34

Yes pleeease!

Anphobia · Aug 21, 2007, 06:50 PM // 18:50

It's kinda obvious is it not?

Jeremy Untouchable · Aug 21, 2007, 06:56 PM // 18:56

I'm hoping for a change to all insribable drops in all chapters. and a NPC that can inscribe any customised weapons you may have allready.....that would be the best way to go...XD

Sleeper Service · Aug 21, 2007, 07:45 PM // 19:45

Im betting the launch of GwEn will enable all (non green)weapons to be "inscribable" whether it will mean previously obtained items gain that ability remains to be seen...maybe the weapon merchants gain an "would you like this weapon to become inscribable?" option.

Hyper Cutter · Aug 21, 2007, 08:06 PM // 20:06

Of course they will be, why would they introduce a vastly superior system in Nightfall and then scrap it?

Also, again, inscriptions do not make things any more or less rare than usual. At most, they reveal the "true rarity" (as opposed to the false rarity you get when you only keep the portion that have good innate mods)...

LobsterMobster · Aug 21, 2007, 08:13 PM // 20:13

I could care less about the economy. I play for the fun of it. So I say, the more inscribables the better. Hell, I think they should let you pay money to add inscription slots to items that don't have them (maybe destroying anything in that slot).

R!ghteous Ind!gnation · Aug 21, 2007, 08:35 PM // 20:35

They will be... which actually helps the economy in some ways... you see people buying perfect "Tyrian" (meaning not inscribable) weapons already for more than their identical inscribable counterparts. Its actually good for those people who have "Tyrian" weapons.

Lol.. I said similar things in the other thread a long time ago. I got flamed to hell for this. Glad to see I'm not the only one who feels this way.

I agree with you man. This thing already went downhill when purples became worthless.. However, what you are proposing simply wont happen. Anet has a random way of doing things... I cant understand why Zodiac items were suddenly made inscriptable, but making gothic defenders and platinum blades inscriptable is considered "BAD" for some reason... Were perfect Zodiacs any more common than perfect gothic defenders before the "inscribe" update? Not really. What then, is the reason for the change? I don't know..

Some people say that the updates were good. They made everything cheaper and more accessible to people in general... OK. That's nice. But I wonder.. WHY IS IT THAT THERE ARE NO MAX COLLECTOR ARMORS IN NIGHTFALL?
In line with Anet trying to make everything cheap and easy to get, this shouldn't be so! There are max armors in Prophecies and Factions, so why not have them in NF? I hope there will be some in GWEN, but I bet you 100 platinum that it isn't going to happen.

I no longer see any logic or reason in what is happening to GW these days. I tried ranting on forums, but people refuse to see the light. There comes a time when one must realize that there's no reason to waste his breath on these things. I still have faith in GW, and I believe that things will change for the better sooner or later. I'm taking a break from GW until GWEN comes out, and I suggest you do the same. By the time I come back, I'm sure I'll see something I like.

MrFuzzles · Aug 21, 2007, 08:47 PM // 20:47

I don't see why not. GW is and will always be a casual > hardcore game, and that's just what inscribable drops cater to. It's easier to get that exact weapon you want without farming or grinding your butt off.

Leave the hardcore grindy stuff to novelties like titles, armors, and rareskins.

Thunder79 · Aug 21, 2007, 08:50 PM // 20:50

My bet is they will be inscribable...

I would like to see a mixture....common skins should be inscribable...rare skins should not be....or inscribable versions should be just as rare as a perfect version of the weapon...I think that would be the best system.

HawkofStorms · Aug 21, 2007, 08:53 PM // 20:53

I don't want them to be, but they will be.

lennymon · Aug 21, 2007, 08:53 PM // 20:53

I still can't believe the tripe I kept from before inscriptions...
Never go back sez I.
