Hello,
I want to start this discussion with stating the fact that "MMONESS" does not equal to having different colors on tiered items. This is just the way Blizzard implemented it in World of Warcraft and is in NO WAY a silver bullet you can just plug into any game to make it successful.
CCP you need to mimic your own MMO, not Blizzard-¦s. HTFU.
I would like to see a more complex solution than just slapping on some colors and the Common/Uncommon/Rare name on to the items. It is not interesting to copy others ideas without adding a twist to them or developing it further to fit well in the game you are going to develop.
So, now that the rant is over, I want to add a discussion on how you can take the concept of tiered items, combine it with EVEs "MMONESS". Meta levels.
Please correct me if I am wrong here, but in EVE it is possible to access different meta levels of lets say, a turret, by paying different amounts of ISK or LP for it.
So instead of Common/Uncommon/Rare I would LOVE to see faction/pirate/deadspace modules of different meta level that is salvageable from the sandbox mode.
Also, a video for you CCP discussing how Blizzard ruined all MMORPGs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=nvK8fua6O64
Don-¦t let a 10+ year old Blizzard game impact Legion, please.

Agreed, I'd prefer they'd keep the naming dead space, faction, officer layout for item rarity

Thanks for the bump. Added officer gear to the OP.

Common/Uncommon/Rare is just another way of tiering items, I don't get why you find this so upsetting because it happens to be tangentially similar to WoW's system.
Your suggested alternative is basically the same thing except possibly with more tiers, which I don't see as healthy.
You have long since made your choice. What you make now is a mistake.

I agree, I don't see anything here that makes me concerned. Changing the name of an item doesn't really matter all that much, and certainly doesn't ruin the gameplay experience. |
