how about restoring the original values of the hamis? with ED now they main reason is no longer valid. then are not much more than IO and have to be earned ,not recipes bought,
Yes i know you can buy them at WW/BM but not at a invention table.

What value were they originally? That was way before my time .

50% instead of 33% (Schedule A), I think.

I'm in favor of it... for HOs (from Hamidon raids), not for SHOs (from LRSF/STF). As an incentive to raid.

Thanks. Personally 50% sounds a little high to me. It means that each HO has an effective enhancement value of 100% or 3 SOs. Currently that level of performance is only available in the handful of powers where an HO can enhance three aspects of the power (and those would go up to 150%). For comparison a Purple triple gives 79.5% and a normal quad IO gives 74.4. It wouldn't necessarily be game breaking but it would be awfully powerful especially since you can slot multiple HOs in a power and focus them a lot more than you can triple or quad IOs.

If they are changed I wouldn't want to see a difference between HOs and SHOs. Making SHOs less powerful would pretty much kill their market value. Anyone who is serious enough to use HOs would almost certainly be willing to pay the extra for HOs. Besides, some people have trouble raiding due to server or time.

well some of them only do 2 ,like damage /acc or heal/end,yes they were 50% originally, they were nerfed due to toons having them 6 slotted and being able to solo tfs and other stuff, right now purple recipes give 52 %,and they are totally on the luck of the drop. my server is a low pop and we sometimes have raids, but if they were worth more there would be more raids.

and if they were raised the selling price would go up for a while then back down as supply would go up.

you also used to have another row of insp slots, that the DEVS removed saying the engine could not handle them,

I agree--it's definitely time to return to those good ol' fashioned Hamidon values. Too often these days, giant monsters forget their roots and go stomping off to terrorize villages that aren't even in their neighborhoods. Sometimes they even go so far as to attack each other (*gasps*)! Where are their morals these days? Where was their queen monster when they were still quivering in their protective cocoons? You have to raise those monsters the right way, or someday, you'll have monsters who can't remember what it was like to fight against an army of heroes. They may even turn traitor and join the Freedom Phalanx! The SHAME! The shame!

Join me in supporting traditional Hamidon values. Your baby monsters will thank you.

I wouldn't mind seeing them restored to their old "50%" values.

Years ago in a pre-market, pre-ED, pre-IO and pre-purple world having Hamis set at 50% was probably too high because that made them far too valuable and game-affecting. But now that things have majorly changed since then the idea of having 50% Hamis is far less unbalancing. The typical player fully loaded with purples is likely going to be far more powerful now than a player would be fully equipped even with a bunch of 50% Hamis.

Restoring Hamis would make them that much more unique and worthwhile. It'd encourage more people to go to the raids and give us more competitive high-end options compared to just purple ENHs. I'm not sure if this would ever happen but I just can't think of a good reason why it would be a bad move at this point.
