I can\'t argue against something like that, nor do I want to The main types of bonuses I was speaking against were:

30% of damage taken goes to mana
+% of magic find(makes item drops better)

That\'s something normal (i.e., non-magical) armor will never give you. Armor won\'t ever help you with a drop

Having a full set of armor should only give just the slightest hint of a bonus - maybe a slightly better agility, if armor joints are involved as you mentioned. However, I honestly can\'t understand how wearing something like boots, gloves, bracers, pants, and a shirt (the basic armor components) will help with anything like strength, constitution, intelligence, etc.

lol
well those were an example of what d2 had
i dont expect this game to have a magic find system
and actually i prefer turn based
its just that D2 happened to be h&s and is my fav rpg

and with the characters being better by having better wpns
see idk if everyone is getting this, i understand its pre alpha
and im mainly starting a convo on what would be cool to see
i roleplay in this game, and it improves the overall feel of the game
i mean, the ppl that play this are actually nice
i played TS Online like last month for a while
those guys all bot and they are so damn rude

well
i guess this probably has been mentioned
and i understand the process
just thought id toss my 2 cents in

bagmasticular=a really good kick to someones groin

(this is me asking to join a guild)

I have been wondering these realms with a thirst for battle. My life is explained by the blood dried to by blades, i am a warrior. Since my exterior is far from flattering, i havent been able to adapt to the people of Hydlaa. Ive had my talks here and there, but none with brethren.

I ask you now, if you are willing to accept me as your dwarf brother, i shall be loyal to the cause.

The point of playing PS is not how much time you spent online, but how you spent it.
You obviously smoke your weed too much.

lol, trend?
yes i know how faddy these roleplaying games are

see
now if a game is made by a major game company, in this case being Blizzard
it doesnt make it a bad game
D2 is one of if not the greatest rpgs ever made
i am not saying to only have items
im saying to add it
since this game is in its early stages, i am giving tips on how to make it the best rpg
whether roleplaying is what keeps you playing
it wont keep me playing this game a year from now
i need better and more complex item system
as does every other rpg that needs to be made
D2 is better than PS
but PS has a chance to be better than D2
i am stating what that is


now on that last little comment

well i can only play this game around 2 hours a day and like it for the most part
but there is only so many times i can kill a rogue for the same items
whether i roleplay(which i do) while doing it or not
i enjoy the game and the roleplaying effect of it
but it isnt enough to keep me satisfied forever because of the lame items
i understand this is early stages
i never bitched for it not having the items now
i was simply saying that the items should be added to improve the quality of the game
im patiant, i can wait
i would just like to see better items in game


oh and for the weed thing
lol, well you didnt seem to catch what i was saying in the first page
and got all defensive on PS

dont put yourself above someone because of a sig
me smoking pot doesnt equal me talking out of my a*s

well
the sets were set up storywise like this



Tal Rasha-Was a super powerful mage who imbued his items with special bonuses
which had things like


30% of damage taken goes to mana
+% of magic find(makes item drops better)

and there were also unique items
like deaths web and what not
they were really hard to find
and those who had them had great power
it adds lots of elements to the game
but making items more unique and adding legends
it helps a lot with storytelling

idk how many fan sites i ran across of d2 where ppl had written pages upon pages just about the legend of one sword from the game
oh
and if you havent played d2 yet
go to wal-mart right now and buy the box set for 30$(if in the us)
that is a must play rpg
the best rpg made in my opinion(i havent played WoW so im not sure)

my feeling on this matter is:


when i was a newb and died, i hated having to wonder around the DR trying to find my way out. In fact i lost my first character to the DR, but i eventually learned how to get out with my second(far more time into) character. I dont die nearly as often, because the DR makes you fear in game death.

that is what a death penalty should be in a game
losing items everytime you die would be horrible
that would be one of the worst things to do in an rpg game
death is inevitable

example:
I used to play \'Diablo II\' pretty much religiously, i had my high lvl characters(ladder, hate hackers) lvl 95 barbarian and what not. No longer amused by being able to die, i created a \'Hardcore Character\'(if you die, it is permenant).
this character died at lvl 23... and it pissed me off
but i eventually improved my skills for hardcore
i had a lvl 86 Necromancer(summoner)
i went to do an uber went through the portal and lag hit me like a brick wall and i was taken down fast
i did not lose all my items because i played private games (i gamed with friends and had a plan to loot for all the items so as not to lose them)
that was a choice
i stopped playing hardcore after that
because it wasnt worth it
i gave my items away and went back to normal
there can be a simple problem with a new patch or with the server
that could kill you
why should someone be punished for dying in a game?
they shouldnt....
