Restricted Armor

I understand what you guys at Trendy were trying to do, but...



This is just ridiculous...

What do you think you understand that they were trying to do?

Because I only see this as making inventory management and gearing characters more complicated, and the RNG for gear in this game is already a massive pain.

It's a part of a larger update. I don't see why a piece of equipment is bound to Gunwitch when it has 3 'general' passives on them, though.

It's just part of a larger update that will make more sense soon. I understand the frustration right now, but trust me, it'll make more sense as we incorporate more itemization changes.

Its stupid, because whats wrong with using a peace of Armour where you dont care about passives but you want the ipwr or core stats... but no its restricted. So stupid, loot is already hard enough, we dont need it made even worse where you have to DPS on the right hero to get the right builder item.

Roll it out when it makes more sense.

Because for now it causes pain and frustration.

On the list of things DD2 Needs, "more complicated loot" should not be on the list.

dreamanime finaly got into TE. Trolls started to contribute to the item adjustments. Horray.

And there we are. What's wrong with sutpid things during an alpha/beta stage? Did we once pay for a finished game?

As [[4370,users]] mentioned earlier, we are currently transitioning to a smarter loot setup. When inventory 2.0 comes out shortly, these changes will make a lot more sense.

well with time comes sense :_D gobu.

in the mean time do not Take your armor off your characters like i did, you will not be able to  put it back on, (assuming its a different character armor)

Will it make sense like Sky Dragon's Fury topping out at 200k dps while EV2 & gunwitch and so on are getting a couple of million DPS?

I noticed in that screenshot that those boots have Defense stats and Defense Crit passive............for the Gunwitch.

[[4370,users]]  and anyone else at TE - Please make sure things like that doesn't get overlooked with the loot update. I think a lot of us would be very grateful of that.

That's definitely a bug. I've escalated that. Hoping to get that fixed ASAP.

Why is Jackpot considered a builder passive? It only benefits you if you are playing the character during battle and pickup up gold, so it seems like it is a DPS passive. But it rolls on either, and basically is just a reason to sell it on builder gear.

If you could have a 1 million vote down button I'd use it on this idea.

For the first time I didn't buy the latest hero as I have lost confidence in Trendy and things like this just make me want to take a very long break.

Items locked to the Gunwitch with Defense-focused stats/passives should not exist and should never generate. Something broke in the loot generation system to create this specific issue - it wasn't present during testing.

Consider the issue being immediately investigated - appreciate the report.

Dani can you confirm what will happen to items with the wrong classes passives already equipped? Because if you plan on trashing them, I would need to know so i can farm them rather then just being screwed over on the inventory patch.

Thank you for being quick to act on that bug! :D

Why was Restricted Armor pushed to release? I understood it being in the test servers but it should NEVER be released to the public. The promise that "It'll make sense later" is absolutely pointless when for the next 2, 4, 6, 8 or god knows how many weeks will be utter garbage. The item system is already terrible - this is just making it 50 shades of worse.

Are you actually comparing a monk's base line right click damage with gun witch's and ev's burst ability DPS? Or are you talking about getting a lucky crit after stacking up damage bonuses with snipe while using a hammershot 1 gun and a dragolich?

I am comparing a 200k damage zone that cannot be moved and is hard to place unless the enemy never moves with burst of a couple of million and sustained easy to use 500k dps or their abouts.
I am talking about classes with almost any build that can easily destroy Dark Alter or Molten Citadel in one "phase" while monk SDF build (have not tested yet) is unlikely to be able to do that at all. 

This move has singularly destroyed an entire build, which is really sad as it was by far my favorite.

What makes it also stupid is abilities like Chi Blast are completely overpowered in AOE situations and with the storm helm mana is a non issue.. but SDF must no longer be useable. 

That one was funny 

how is this a huntress chest WTF
