ARE YOU READY FOR DECONSTRUCTION

zvavi

Deconstruct EVERYTHING (ok fine, not everything, just the things you don't use)

redspecter23

I am so ready I was gathering extra weapons before the patch.

I'm more excited for this patch than any other I can remember. The set collections system is something I never knew I wanted until it was announced. It's also helpful that the number of nerfs is relatively low. New zone. New solo arena. For once it seems like the good features far outweigh the bad ones and it's unfortunate that is the case, though I suppose that's relative.

Can't say they ain't looking out for us vets

I am going to deconstruct all the gear I had in case I will ever use it.

This is the best thing about the patch. I will have inventory space again!!!!!! Only took six years!!!

At the rate it looks like things are going though, I'll start on that Stickerbook grind Tuesday.

Yeah, basically. Gear got a bit jumbled in the last bit before the patch, but there's a lot of, "what if," gear that's getting scrapped.

DTStormfox

What are you even on about?

I voted before reading up on it.

Does this change mean that you can 'reconstruct' bound item sets that drop in dungeons?
For example, if I have deconstructed my Viper's Sting Sword, I can reconstruct it at any time using Transmutation?

If you had it after the patch, yes. Anything you had but got rid of before patch hits is gone forever~ ooooo forever~~~

I'll keep stuff incase they ever adjust it.

I just don't like systems like this in MMOs. Part of any MMO is suppose to be the grind. In a game like Skyrim this system makes sense. In this though once people collect everything you will have even less people running dungeons or using the queue.

Even PuG trials won't be as easy to get. People only do them to get pieces they don't have once there is a change made or they make a new character. Now they can just make the item again w/o having to do the trial/dungeon.

Yeah. Well, not quite.

It's not retroactive, so if you got a drop and deconned it, it's gone. If it's in your inventory, it's yours to keep.

This applies to all drop sets (including arena weapons, monster sets, and mythics.) It will actually be cheaper to reconstitute an item than to retrait it, in some cases.

It's never going to get to that point, though, as there will always be new players running content to get new unlocks, and there are some items that are stupidly hard to obtain. Finally, there will still be people running things for the transmute gems themselves, or to help their friends farm for gear.

If anything, it actually increases the grind, because now you need to farm for everything. "Skipped out on trying to get a BSW BBQ stick because you just didn't want it? Tough, now you need it, 'just in case.'"

Deconstruct. Deconstruct. Deconstruct.

I wont deconstruct jewellery, for obvious reasons.

I will probably deconstruct sets that arent craftable and im not going to use in the foreseeable future.

Bucky_13

Deconstruct. Deconstruct. Deconstruct.

Just a warning, DO NOT DECONTRUCT THE HAMSTERS! if we do, maintenance might last even longer.

But yeah, this feature is awesome.

I genuinely cannot wait for the 10th(console player). My inventories will be so clear😍

Yes, but that's not a big deal for most BoE sets. And for most BoP ones, it takes a LOT of farming to get enough useless weapons for that statement to be true and significant.

Today will be spent sorting through inventory, deconstructing a bunch of stuff, binding stuff I'm missing and selling the excess.

Get ready to see some Mauls of a Mother's Sorrow and Spriggan's Restoration Staves going up for sale at a guild store near you!

My inventory is completely full with weapons I would usually not keep, but now it was worth it for the sticker book.

*Points at Mother's Sorrow BBQ sticks.*

EDIT: Also, the breakpoint is ~half of a set collected. At that point it will cost less to reconstitute than transmute. For most sets there are 22 pieces. Meaning, if you've seen 12 different pieces for a set (like those stam set staves or mag set greatswords and bows) it's quite possible you're already going to be under that cost on anything you've actively farmed. Or from any dungeon you've run regularly for whatever reason.

FrancisCrawford

I'm looking forward to emptying 40 or so containers with 10-15 transmute crystals each, and to deconning all the worthless dungeon gear I've kept since the new system was announced. I don't yet have a feel for how much of the stuff I've been keeping long than that I'll actually break down.

FrancisCrawford

I also may give each of my characters his or her own personal Ring of the Wild Hunt. (I tend to give each of my characters a non-combat town build, featuring Jailbreaker plus whatever other weapon or (less likely armor) I want to level up with the XP from crafting writs.

I am so ready!

DaveMoeDee

Deconstruct. Deconstruct. Deconstruct.

I could barely play this month outside of quick visits to get tickets and loot tideholm chest because I just want to clear inventory (on 18 characters). As a hoarder, game is about to get a lot more fun.

Can also open a lot of geodes and event containers lingering.

Lintashi

I am so ready I was gathering extra weapons before the patch.

My bank and most characters inventories are overflowing with set items, and main character is also loaded with 30+ unopened transmute geodes. The feeling I will get after logging in after maintenance and deconstructing and opening it all, will be similar to one that person might have, when he finally visits toilet after waiting way too long.

While it's nice to clear out the stuff I kept just is case, the bigest use is knowing if I already got that item everytime I run a trial when not on a character who needs it.

SydneyGrey

It'll be nice to have something to do with all those set pieces I've been keeping for the past three or four years "just in case" I need them some day.
Those pieces I think I *might* use some day, but have never actually used. You know. That stuff.
Among other things, I've been saving a bunch of tanking stuff even though I tried tanking and don't like it as much as healing or DPS. All that tanking gear is going into the sticker book today! Nice.

Stinkyremy

I am going to deconstruct all the gear I had in case I will ever use it.

More than anything I am looking forward to deconstructing all the monster shoulders and masks I have in 3+ alt inventories.
I think I definitely have at least every mask and shoulder in all 3 weights except the last 12-14 dungeons.

I have been hoarding trial gear in case it is ever useful, that will all go, and I have a few specific sets I have been farming for all the random pieces, or random pieces of sets I like that i thought might be useful so kept them. (ebon armory staffs for eg).
I have not bothered farming gear at all though as in a few weeks everything will be near trash and everyone in trials and dungeons would [should] be linking gear to share with others.
All overland sets will be easy to acquire except specific elusive pieces like mothers sore flame staffs. So no need to farm.
Plus heck I haven't got the inventory space to farm them.

Oh hell yes! I even been hoarding useless sets just for the sake of having them on my collection lol

Mythreindeer

I expect there will be a massive number of items that won’t need server space now after all the deconning. Will it improve performance or unrelated?

I got the BSW inferno staff once a long, long time ago on a low level character before I knew how special it was. I’ve been trying to get it ever since, with no luck. Maybe someday!
