Deserved it's own thread really.

Main issue I have is that there are 3 classes going for the same items really, and they *seem* to be dropping the least.

I can't highlight this enough.

This is really a serious problem at the moment. Drop rates for something that 3 classes have to fight for should be slightly more in favour of dropping. Whereas the current "leaked" dropfiles shows this wasnt the case. Weapons and armous should remain the same as they're standalones, but all DC accessories shouldn't be same droprate as tao and wizz ones in my honest opinion.

+1 again and also as previously mentioned melee classes on here absolutely destroy dura (more than usual) to make it worse

Introduce kit that is class specific & increase drop rates on all mutual items.

I said this ages back and suggested more class specific items at a higher lvl :D im hoping this 2.0 patch with the 100s of new items adresses this problem

I mentioned this right before the server launched.

3 classes, all after the same items is not going to be healthy.

Drives prices up to the point most people can't compete, and you will see the MC/SC items become worthless.

"Oh great, another TitanRing... might get 20k"
"YES! PowerRing!! Good couple of mill there"

Historically, even when there were only 3 classes, DC items still cost more on average due to dura burning. It's even worse now.

I will never get why they didnt make archer acc/agil based with dc a small factor in it. There are many items already in that would be useful and add a few to mix it up would have been better. Would have made items that are pretty much worthless worth while.

This is a very good point...

SharpBraces, Elusion kit etc are hardly used and pretty worthless.

Could have made them worth something with Archers.

Please look into this when changing drop files for 2.0. DC accessories probably need to drop twice as often as now at least to make up for the fact 3 classes are competing for them.

Actually I disagree and agree.

I agree they should drop more often, but disagree if the class ratio worked out even between all 3 types of item.

For example:

say there are 100 players, 33 are wizards, 33 are Taos and 34 are the remaining classes. Then they should all drop the same rate.

All Sam needs to do is look at the statistics of class ratios and then adjust drops accordingly.

Also I would of loved archer to scale with all 3 stats, fireshot could of scaled with MC, spiritshot with SC etc. would of been a nice type of class that could be played to a preference.

lmao, you really are full of shite.. anyways, I thought you were quitting like 5 million times? And by your idea, FF should only drop once a year then? You really have no comprehension how classes evolve from being weak to strong at different points throughout the game.. How can you possibly say it's fair that 3 class compete for the same kit with the same drop chance??? I'm honestly stumped by the idiocy..
