提案/Suggestion
- My suggestion is to create a pity system to driftsmelt, as it is, you can even go 1000x smelts without getting the skill you wanted/needed only because it is fully based on RNG.
This could be related to smelting too many stones into one piece, a higher number like 50, 100, 150?
It would be cool to see how many stones we did smelt into a single piece of equipment.
- Another ideia would be, if you get all the special skills (the ones you can only get from this or that stone), let’s say Mystery A (the dragon event stone): Dragon Attack, Critical Boost and Aggressive Dodge.
If you have gotten 2 out of the 3, you could buy a special item using gems and make these 2 skills combine into the one you need. This would solve a lot of problems.
Another example would be trying to get Burst for example: there are 5 special skills + Aggressive dodge. Maybe you trying to get Burst, if you smelted ALL OF THE SKILLS except Burst, you could select them all and exanged to Burst.
3rd and last suggestion: combining skills to get better secondary bonuses. Let’s say you already got Fire Attack, then you smelt another Crimson Stone and get another Fire Attack. Both having +something Defense. What if we could combine both and get a better bonus defense?
Please vote on these suggestions if you like one or many of those, I’m open for comments and improvments.
現状/Current Status
On the launch I thought we could as leaste choose when getting the special stone (the one that costs 100x), but even that one is completely random.
There are some examples I could give, from my personal experience.
I’m going to my 700th driftsmelt and… gettign the skills you need can either be very lucky or horrendously UNLUCKY.
I had fire attack given to my fire oriented pieces very fast at early smelts, but for my ice equipment… not so much.
At the moment, I’m above 100 driftsmelts, only to my ice equipements (Barioth Gloves and Legiana Coil), yet I have NO ice attack given. I got guard, critical eye, skyward… almost every other skill rater then Ice Attack.
And mind me not, I bought 3 of the special stone to maybe having a better chance of getting it. Guess what? I didn’t. I can’t choose what I want even after walking (100x 5km or at least during events, 2 and a half kilometer). Think about it, you are walking 500 kilometers and then you get a better CHANCE of getting that lovely skill you wanted. That’s not garatee, if you get unlucky you will need to walk more 500km.
I did not walk that much, I’m buying insta smelts almost every time my driftsmelt inventory gets full. Even tho I haven’t get Ice Attack. Logically if I was a free to play player, I would have walked 1.500km.
This is almost as I was walking FROM Tokyo TO Seoul, nonstop.
Now let’s get to the very much problematic about this system: Events.
During Events we get special stones that you can only get during this time window, and then they are all random again. You will never be garantee to get the skill you want or need.
For the last dragon attack and crit boost event I did around 150 smelts, trying to get my dragon pieces smelted with +1 dragon attack, I bought 2 of the special stones, which got me crit boost and aggressive dodge, 2 skills that have no use on my builds. Lucky me I got one normal stone to get my dragon attack to my Deviljho Coil and THAT WAS IT.
During that event I got myself: 2x crit boost, 3x aggressive dodge and ONE dragon attack. They are gone now.
Currently we are having the partbreak and blast attack event.
One again i’m doing smelts non-stop.
I bought the special stone again and finally I’m lucky enough to get partbreak very fast to my black diablos helmet.
But what if I needed blast attack? I would need to keep smelting until I get what I want.
I’m at this moment, trying to get +1 partbreak into another piece so I can have partbreak Lv5 with 2 pieces only.
Guess what happened? Yes, I bought the special stone after doing 100 normal smelts and I got aggressive dodge… again! I also did a normal smelt to blast attack. I got the 2 “event” skills that I DON’T WANT OR NEED.
