Enhancement Modification

Hey devs and players alike I came up with 2 Ideas for Enhancement Modification.

1: in the game we already use this for converting rare (orange) archytype specific enhancements into thier very rare (purple) versions.

so, my point would be why not allow all IO set recipies to make this jump into purple for a cost? even yellow or white ones which would have to be converted several times. the cost would be lower for white to yellow and yellow to orange conversions than from orange to purple.

the benefits would be increased enhancement percentages and increased bonus amounts, and when purple obviously they gain a very nice ability; the ability for the toon to keep the enhancement percentages and the Set bonuses no matter what level they are exemplarred to.

2:Level Modification, certain heavily used recipe sets may have a maximum level of 35 or 40 or something, obviously there is no such thing as a LV 35 purple recipe, so during the enhancement rarity modification the level of the recipe should also be raised if it is not already at 50. this should be an extra cost for converting to purple. this also makes those odd LV 46-49 recipe sets actually not laughable as most people prefer the set to be at a hard 0 or 5 (ex: 40 or 45 level sets) not 1-4 or 6-9. as the level raises the effectiveness will also raise.

Also why not allow level modification to up the max level of a set to 53? then there would actually be something to fill the slots in WW, where as of now though LV 51-53 sets are visible in the market they currently do not exist in game. naturally converting to purple would raise to LV 50, from there players can convert again to get LV51 and again for LV52 ETC. upto a max of what they are allowed to slot.

3rdly and lastly: the above is great for people who are just slotting thier toons, but what about those people who already fully slotted thier toons? do they have to do a bunch of respecs to eventually take off and convert all thier IO's? or do they havee to completely rebuy them? I say; no. instead why not allow enhancement modification of already slotted enhancements?

thank you for your time devs and players.

please discuss this and consider it for a future release.

As far as #3.... go look at Enhancement Catalysts. You can already do something similar to this. The catalyst shows up as an "enhancement" of a sort off to the side. Even if it weren't for that, there are enhancement unslotters available to pull one, modify, put back. Somewhat tedious, but there.

No real feeling on 1 or 2, since it's far too early in the day and I should probably be asleep still.

I can't really figure out what the OP wants in point 2, and I can't tell if I'm too drunk or just reading it wrong. In reality it's probably a combination of the two, but I'm honestly baffled.

Point #2 just sounds like enhancement boosters to me.

/unsigned

If a player wants to strip a build of it's enhancements he or she can buy enhancement unslotters and additional enhancement trays in order to minimize the number of respecs they need to burn if any.

If a player isn't concerned with reassigning the slots on his builds powers he can strip a build by just using enhancement unslotters and never use a respec at all.

OK, that's what I thought but I was like "we already have those?" and wasn't sure. I was also pretty tipsy so I could have easily been misreading.

gentlemen and gentleladies;

yo missunderstood the purpose of this post, and miss understood the reason of #3.

however you did provide a good peice of information about it, enhancement unslotters would indeed be a good substitute for #3, I just wanted to make sure it wasn't too hard or already slotted toons.


in summary #1 means: I would like everyone to have the ability to 'upgrade' all thier IO set recipies for a price, no matter how rare they are, they could become purple, Very rare. and allow people to enjoy the benefits of prple recipies for every set type.

in summary #2: can enhancement boosters raise the level of a IO set to 50? or 53? if they can raise the level at all, then thats what I'm requesting, but honestly I'd like to see the ability to do exactly as asked

1. don't hold your breath.

2. http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Enhancement_Booster
They raise the % of enhancement, which is effectively raising them in level (raising them above level 50 in capabilities in a lot of cases). You're asking for something to change the displayed level from X to Y? Does it really matter that much when the percentage is already capable of being increased?

I believe the OP means changing the physical level of an IO. So a person could take their level 34 Luck of the Gambler IO and change it to 25, or 50, or whatever.

the current enhancement level modifiers wont be enough, +5 wont work, recipes need to be LV 50 to be purple, but they will be enough to raise the purple's value to +5.

anyways I still think there is a need for more on this subject.
