NC's Poll on Armor Enchants

[Hellrose]

There's been a poll (http://bbs.lineage2.co.kr/board/discussion/list/view.asp?bbs=discussion&ls=0&lnp=1&bid=34&sm=0&st=) going on on the official Korean site for opinions on special armor enchant effects. You might remember that pre-C4 they had polls going for the length of Hero terms and such.. so it's possible that the poll is a sign of a C5 addition.

Direct Translation of the Poll:

Hello, this is Sumjigi.
This week's discussion topic is about special effects on armor enchants.
At the moment, overenchanted armor do not carry any special effects.
We'd like to ask your opinion on what you'd like to see happen concerning this subject.

Graphic/animation effect - Similar to the current effect on overenchanted weapons
New Bonus Effects - There should be additional bonuses (such as stun resist, sleep resist etc.) as the enchant gets higher
Greater effect on base stats - There should be additional changes to base stats as the enchant gets higher
New Mesh/Texture - The overall image of the armor should change to reflect the enchantWe hope to hear from all of you. If you have ideas other than ones listed, please feel free to share.

Lineage II is always with the customers. We'll continue to work harder for a better game. Thank you.

So far 'New Bonus Effects' is winning the Korean race at 49%.

New bonus effects sounds the best to me and the new mesh/texture should also be implemented. That would be cool, I was going to vote for the base stats being enhanced until I read its in regards to +int +con etc. That would be more power to nukers so I'm against it.

[Krog]

OE'ed armor should have more mdef.

I wonder if they're gonna do anything about over powered range pvp in the game or balancing.. :om_swt:

OH HELL NO @ armor glow

would be an instant /quit from me, I hate that crap

The other three would be nice if done well. I hate how Imp Crusader looks so if I could enchant it to make it look different, and it looked better that way, I would be happy. Enchanting doom heavy for ++con would be great too or maybe taking out the -str.

++texture and some New Bonus Effect's

[TemplarZ]

New Bonus effects would rock but unfortunately I dont trust them to handle them fairly.

[tozim]

Any boost in power only exaggerates the power gaps between the classes (and between ebayers and non, sigh). I also wouldn't like armour glow. I was going to say, 'where the fuck is the no change option', but being a male elf there are many (most) armour models I hate the look of, so I voted new mesh/texture.

Edit: What are the other two options on the official poll?

I voted for enhanced effects ^^

[Conchenn]

I think the new mesh/textures should be implemented period. And I vote for other "greater increase in pdef and mdef with each successful overenchant"

[soltys]

I would prefer NC not to touch anything that changes stats / bonuses. They suck at balancing.

Turning everyone into walking lightbulb, bueh. So the last option for me (otoh, NC has a potential of few tens of thousands modders in the playerbase, but they choose to ignore them).

[Whispred]

- New Bonus Effect (i.e. Sleep Resist, Stun Resist, +HP, +Pdef etc.)
- New Mesh/Texture

=P

[Saek]

i want them to balance nukers. :(

[Lance]

A new mesh for people wearing +6 and higher doom plates would be crazy >:D

[Aldemir]

Yes give mages an even more affective DC robe

[billy]

++con, etc would make nukers probably more imba. The difference in casting speed is FAR more noticeable when you +1 WIT, than the attack speed with +1 DEX. Bonus effects would be nice, as well as a larger increase in pdef.

[SulaMoon]

Just balance nukers ffs

[Goldshlager]

Armor is for defense, not for offense. Why would they add on more bonus's to make your offense better on armors? This should all be defensive.

The higher the enchant, the the better resists should be. Not the better your offense should be.

[DarkLordSaske]

No point in lookin good with a new mesh if your stats suck and your laying on the floor,voted for stats

[Obsidian]

New meshes as well as bonus effects. Variety, damnit!

[Vent]

give DEFENSIVE effects. And make the nuker effects gimp.

[Devience]

I wish they would just implement a "racial only" armor. Be nice to just simply do quests to upgrade and change 1 set of armor throughout the game. There was a nice class armor set you could pick up 1 piece at a time in FFXI that was really good. Simplify peoples ebay needs as well as provide motivation to level.

[fox]

Voted for defensive boosts

although i'm scared of NC being dumbasses with SAs again. i swear, if they put another goddamn castspeed boost in....

[Xan]

All except glow... pls NOOOO no fucking glow.
I remeber MU online <hack&slash or better hack&glow> everyone in thier fucking +10 glowing armors it was soo bad ;/.

[kash]

grrrr no option, All of them ?_?, sad!
