Biggest problem with changes...

[Lorant]

Weapons and their "ratings".  Huh? Instead of a color con system and a DPS calc, we get some new rating and greyed out above and belows? So when the Ebon Mace was white to me at 33, it was a 6.3 rating. Then the Meat Tenderizer was yellow but a 6.3 as well?  Prepatch they had difference DPS's, the Tenderizer was more.  Now they are the same, but my 2H is still 12.7 rating even though I leveled? Plus, now I cannot tell if a weapon is any good if I cannot use it.  Some Stick was on the broker, 13str, 9agi, 11 str... but examining it, I get 0.0 for rating and damage ranges.  How do I know if it's worth buying and leveling into? I much prefer a DPS scale.  This new rating system makes a weapon the same for all the levels I can use it and not sure I like it.  GHranted, we don't have to have the "growing into a weapon" where damage changes, but I'm not comfortable with it how it is.  Especially since the same rating is applied to different DPS weapons. <div></div>

Ya it was funny yesterday I was [expletive ninja'd by Faarbot]ing about this in a group and said it would be one of the very few things sony ever fixed and low and behold they fixed it today first thing.    Bravo sony you did something right for a change.   Maybe sony is growing up and becoming a big boy.  Learning how to fix its own mistakes  instead of pretending like they dont exist. <div></div>

<div></div>Oh cool.  What exactly has changed?  The broker or the rating system? Edit:  <font color="#ffcc00"><b>*** Items ***</b></font> - Items will now con red instead of grey if you are not a high enough level to use them. - Damage and mitigation numbers will no longer display as 0 if you cannot use the item. <div></div><p>Message Edited by Lorant on <span class=date_text>09-15-2005</span> <span class=time_text>10:29 AM</span>

Rating.   Broker is the same.   I doubt broker will ever change. It may be tweaked slightly but never changd. <div></div>

<P>The one thing i hate about the broker is that to find any jewelry, you have to switch your class to all instead of Bruiser... only then will it show up when you filter for armor.</P> <P>I can manage with what we have now... I just preferred seeing a drop, and knowing instantly by color con whether it would see use for a while or not. Now it's just "can I use it or not" for color con, and I have to actually look at the numbers to see if I want it.</P> <P>Makes quick decisions on loot prioritizing tougher.</P>

The grey/white system is totally stupid because you can easily buy an item that is about to go grey, and therefore become totally useless, without having any idea. Awesome. <div></div>

<DIV>does it still say your level, i cant rember</DIV>

[Raidi Sovin'faile]

<P>It does, yes. So the issue of buying a "soon to be grey" gear is only gonna happen if you don't look and notice that the item is already 8 levels lower. However, it was infinately easier to sort through 300 pages of crap by looking immediately at the color con... or better yet, sorting by the color.</P> <P>I guess since things don't scale with level now, I'll just have to get used to putting a higher minimum level on my searches.</P> <P> </P> <P>I hear it's worse for other classes though. Warlocks don't show anything when you try and do the basic search.. nothing at all even though they can wear a ton of stuff that's on the broker. Might be that all mages are like this.. but they have to switch it to "any" and sort through a lot of crap they can't ever use to see anything. Ain't that wonderful.</P> <P> </P>

Does everyone know you have to UNLIST then RELIST all your items to get them to show up?  Past 2 days I haven't sold a thing and wondered why. Plus,  there are NO hex dolls on my server.  I do not know why, but a search of "hex" for any class any price, etc brings up no hex dolls.  Where are they at?! New broker is sucking [expletive ninja'd by Faarbot]. <div></div>
