New Eye Gear for Defense

[Barber]

Ok...I was looking through the store and I see all kinds of eye gear for Fatality, Skill rate and other types of gears but there is no eye gear that boosts any defense or at least Ive never seen any unless I'm looking over it. (If I'm wrong someone point me in the right direction)

I'd like to see something in the line of safety goggles or some kind of eye protection that would maybe at least add +2 or +3 to your defense like the Cloak of Love does. It might help people who suffer from the xen failure issue. (like me :p)

Grrr 10 failures in a row sux :D

Anyway who else wants something like this for at least a SparkCash item?

Or am I the only one that wants something like this?

[MarvHartigan]

I dont want to sink ur boat mate, but I think that we have more than enough with the cloack of love for extra defense... I know, +2 or +3 wouldnt make that much of a difference, but still I think that way, another defensive item would bring more unbalance....

Adios!

[thrakx]

sorry i like my horror mask to much to care about that. Maybe you should go get an incubator and xen it up?

[Barber]

Eye gear doesn't take the place of the horror mask it goes in the eye slot of your equip :p

Besides I already have a perm horror mask and perm cloak anyway. Just thought it might be a good idea. It would basically be like adding a xen to something if it was done, heck even a making it a +1 item would be ok for people that might be on the borderline for going to another map. Just thought I'd try to make a suggestion to make the game better for others.

Hey its early in the morning and I'm bored :p

I agree with el22.
too much unbalance. actually i think even the cloak of love needs to be nerfed. 16DEF is HUGE. you only get 4 def from changing equip in the higher lvls, so that is like a next set of equip for everything, a 14lvl boost on your character. it takes on average 6 xen to get from +5 to +6 for an extra 2 def (which is what 90+ people generally go for), so 16def is the same as 48 xens!

let's not have any more unbalances please.

[Barber]

Zeltar...I wish my failure rate was that low...It's taken me about 12 xens to get a shield to +3

lol ok...I see this might be a bad idea for some

But if it would only add maybe +1 to defense then it wouldn't really do much except maybe let you handle the map you are already in better. As in maybe only taking 1 or 2 hit points off of you...+1 to Def wouldn't be enough to get you into higher maps or anything like that would it? You'd still be stuck in the same map wouldn't you?

:I like to debate if you can't tell: :p

oh ok i thought it did replace mask. now that i think about it you right though. Btw what color LBs did you get your mask and cloak from?

[MarvHartigan]

well... ur point of view could become in an endless circle... when u get to another frontier for a new map, would u ask for another SC defense boost? like Mask of Defense for the face?
Eye gears seems to be for fatal and skill crit and I think they r ok like that, unless eye gears stats kinda suck most of them (the horrible snorkel has decent stats though)
And that's my other point, according to u, it should be one defense boost for any extra gear slot?
That's to say: Cloack of love for back, some other for the eyes and in the future who knows, another for the face... sorry again mate, but it doesnt sound fair, not even to takl about free players...

Adios!

Edit: I started writing this post before sijar's and ur reply.

or at least make a eye thing that increase dmg?
maybe a mask soon to for casters to?

[opensunflowers]

Rather than an eye defense item
i'd rather see items that can go on our feet! and shield items!
it would make more sense for the shield item to give you defense. ;)

[Oohforf]

or i wouldnt mind se the wrist slot get used soon.
or am i blind and never seen a wrist item?
maybe make a wrist item that increase hit rating?

an eye item that increase at least +1-4 power/int

[Zeltar]

Yeah wrist slot sounds good, though i guess accessory accounts for that.
Actually i'd like to see non-SC items from kron usable on eye slot face slot and back slot.
ATM many peopl do not use there slots at all.

[thrakx]

can we say useless M-slot anyone? ok anyone whos NOT a scout or archer. XP

[vedallen]

Haha this thread is getting out of its original context a bit. But I like the suggestions :P and I think if they do improve on the equipment slot system in the future, they should add a waist slot (AKA belt :O). Increased weight capacity if not a small +1/2 armor, and make it something to quest for at higher levels, and make a few versions each better than the other. Backpacks are nice and all, but free players don't have a way to increase WT.

omg ive also thought of and love that shield idea :D
and also i wish the capes were more "capeish", like i dont really want a cape with a big blue[or red O.o] heart on it... and i sorta wish they were longer... u kno, like reach ur characters feet....
and i would like to be able to get capes[maybe not with status] from in-game quests or something....
[oh btw the whole cape thing was NOT a rant or anything, so dont go saying stop complaining cuz im not, only expressing what i would like to see, again not complaining :)]

[Barber]

Oh boy people are responding to a topic I made :p

But taney's idea is good too..something to replace the shield with better defense would work...I mean c'mon I've got a lvl 81 +3 shiled and the thing only gives you +10 total in defense me thinks that is nothing more than tinfoil and bamboo :p

Or how about this...if you don't wanna make it a SparkCash item...Xen needs a barbershop and not any fru fru beauty thing like they have now....I hate seeing a beautician taking my job...have a barbershop set up...you go in get a haircut for a certain price of kron/item drop and it adds +1 Defense to your helm for an hour or so..kinda like the prof frag does to boosts...hey its an idea ;p

(oh and thrakx..I got the mask from a blue lucky ball and the capes from a yellow)

[BloodLimit]

I can't see any more defense going in sparkcash items, so don't expect getting any more of it since it un-balanced the game a bit. We will get pets with defense boost soon in the future, so all you could do right now is wait for it.

[justin_2006]

about the pet defense thingy, how much detail about that has been "leaked".... like will these boosts be given by the normal pets[poyo, poku, poko]??

i hope the normal pets will give stats, i absolutely LOVE pointy hat poku :X

From what i've seen, pets like Poku and Poko wont give out stats.. only pets from the second pet quest. They give out random stats from Defense, HP & MP to Dodge, Skill critical and a few more.

In Xen Pic, the Defense pet gives 20+ Defense in Solstice i could see a little change from 20 Defense to 10 extra defense to be balanced in the game.. the defense these pets will give will make things a little un-balanced for lower levels but for higher levels it'll balance it pretty well, besides these type of pets were aimed for higher levels in the first place.

[justin_2006]

crud
it takes forever to get a new pet :/
i wish i had to kron to just buy one :X

[Barber]

Well, I've seen Bow Wow's selling for 15 mill...that's cheaper than buying the stuff and doing it yourself...or at least pretty close :p
