World New Id Type!

What I thought you were saying was that the devs need to manually edit every instance of each item, since you mentioned randomly assigning a percentage to it. If that is what you meant, then once again why would they do it manually when there's an easy solution for doing it automatically (assigning the ID percentage to every item which needs it but isn't "updated" upon being loaded in in some way, e.g. when the player logs in or when the bank/some other inventory is opened)?
If you meant editing a few hundred items (at most) to also have this ID, then it would have to be done manually but it is certainly possible with a few hours of work (depending on if they test each item, only test some, or test barely any at all).

Also, Jumla is going to do a re-work of the code and will hopefully be smart enough to make the ID system expandable code-wise (like all systems should be, especially in an MMO) so that argument falls short. The only thing that would make it "impossible" would be having to re-balance every item, which still doesn't actually make it impossible but just a very long process. This ID being added to an item might require a slight rebalance for it, but there are certainly identifications which would require little to no balancing of other IDs if they are added.

 

we still dont have an elemental armor reduction id giff us now daddy salted

 

Fifteen miles is not the same as fifteen miles per hour.

And to everyone saying "stop even talking about it the developers said it's impossible", please grow up. It's simply a suggestion, that doesn't mean they have to add it. I can't even remember the last time they added a suggestion made by a player. We can speculate and discuss the idea all we want, doesn't mean you have to be rude about it.

 

It's not adding it that's the problem, It's adding it without removing all the good Ids on your armor and weapons.
All those mythics would have to be re Ided and probably lose a lot of stuff.

 

You don't have to clear the other IDs. Just add a new one and give it a random percentage.

 

And that's the thing that would be hard to do.

 

Why?

 

Adding the new Id to players items would be kinda hard, as you'd have to go through each player to see if they had said item with said Ids.
The only way to add this type of Id is a new item.
