New Level 150/160 Materials

Axoinus

Ok. So Rubite/Rubedo/Ruby Ash materials are all we got at 150/160+.

I propose we get some new 150-160 level material to 1) Give a different look and 2) More build options!

For example. Rubeite would give you an extra 1% damage. [Exotic Material A] would give you a 2% stam regen. [Exotic Material B] would give you a 2% mag regen. [Exotic Material C] would give you a 2% health bonus. etc and so on.

The exact numbers aren't the point, just proposing the concept.

No thank you

• NO MORE MATERIALS
• NO MORE LEVEL CAP RAISES
• NO MORE GRIND
• JUST NO

But ZOS likes money so why not add weapon dyes to the game for the people that are bored of red weapons. That way ZOS can control the colors and no one would be running around with pink swords.

Please let's not have more mats we need to gather. Only think: even if you only had one variant in addition to Rubydite, every ore (/cloth/wood) node in the game would only have a 50% chance of dropping the one you want, and people WILL leave the other kind there indefinitely if it doesn't match the flavor of the month build needs. It would get worse for each variant you added.

When we reach the end game we don't want to keep leveling up or gathering another tier of crafting material.
We want to continue the story. There are other ways to progress in the game without an increased level cap or new materials.
just look at how many sets and crafting styles have been introduced over time

I think they have more things to worry about tbh

Taleof2Cities

Don't care.

Your idea seems to be a hybrid between two well-covered issues in the forums:

1. Gear cap increase (to CP180)
2. Weapon dyes or being able to transmog weapons

That said, I'm not opposed to it ... if ZOS were able to do it instead of balking at the idea of weapon dyes.

Isangrim

Yes. Lets start tomorrow.

Sounds neat.

Judas Helviaryn

Yes. But Idea needs some adjustment...

He's arguing for more diverse materials, both aesthetically and functionally, at the current gear cap, people.. not increasing the gear cap.

I say it would be a good thing, but it would have to provide a much smaller benefit to your stats, or none at all if you want to separate form from function completely.

T4T2FR34K

Yes. Lets start tomorrow.

Absolutely, people are too comfortable so you're going to see a lot of knee-jerk reactions and lets not tie the material into the color scheme this time...no red or purple weapons pls...

I like this change up some builds a little but I’m not sure about the numbers

The grind...

If anything there should be less useless materials in game to clutter our inventories.

Bax

Yes. But Idea needs some adjustment...

Sounds nice, but what about drop sets? Would they suddenly drop in different material versions? We just got rid of trait set farming in clockwork city update, I'm not sure if I want to see another mechanic which will force me to farm specific pieces.

lardvader

I just want weapon dyes..... so my swords can look like actual steel.

No.. the grind is already bad in this game, why do you want to make it even worse?

Ashtaris

I will have to say that after almost 4 years in the game, crafting is getting a bit stale. But what we need is not something that requires more grinding again, but instead something entirely new to craft, like Jewelry, Spellcrafting, etc. However, I do realize that it will probably entail it’s own form of grinding. At least it will be something new instead of the same old stuff.

Just sounds like a second trait system. Not terribly interested in letting people push stats higher at the moment.

No more materials

No more level increase!

There are well over 100 sets in the game to pick from, that give different stats. There are 57 different motifs. If that's not enough for build options, I don't know what to tell you.

Orticia

No thanks. I do not need more inventory hassle.

But I would like something changed with the craft material, or rather the crafting. Seeing it is end-crafting mats for endgear it would be nice that as a reward on top of being able to craft the best craftable gear, you could also pick your craft material look from all of the past materials. That way not every weapon needs to be red at endgame and all the previous looks don;t go to waste as noone will craft those anymore at top level due to stats, even if we might prefer the look.

Though depending on how a future transmorg would work this might be not needed.

Way too much junk in this game as it is, no need to add to the clutter.

Nestor

Yes. But Idea needs some adjustment...

It is not that we need new mats, we just need to be able to use any of the mats that are in the game. People don't realize how cool and rich the dye system is in this game, being that so few use the intermediate mats anymore. Those mats really take the dyes and have rich colors when doing so. Unlike the washed out look we get with the Ruby stuff.

So, my idea is, allow all mats to make all levels of gear, the only difference is, how many mats are used for each level. Change the Material Passive to be a Gear Level Passive. Then, either by zone or randomly or a mix of zone/random, allow us to harvest the mats at any level all over the map.

It would allow even more diversity. Also, each of the material levels had a different look and all that art work is going to wasted right now.

I wouldn't go so far as to say "idea fail", more that I don't see it being valuable in the current gameplay. I mean how would you even handle dropped sets? More RNG? They JUST finished a system that elegantly and categorically changed the previous grindhole, I wouldn't want to then just introduce a new one.

Here's my idea... how about if people that want more things to grind, just for the sake of grinding, just go play one of the *excellent* Korean MMOs out there? Yes? Great idea, right?

Good chance this comes with transmorg, at least most hope for it.
Yes this will require you to first craft and then change style.

This game has enough options and unneeded complexity.

teiselaise

Yes. But Idea needs some adjustment...

It sounds awesome with another tiny layer to the character, tho I, and many others, don't want to scrap my gold gear, I love systems like those, but would like it more as an attachment, like enchanting. I don't think it would improve balance tho
