World Armor System Rework

Monologue:
Well this might be more of a radical idea of mine but since the dawn of the skill point glitch I’ve wondered how I could get around it with my item locks suggestion and I might have figured it out.

Suggestion:
Instead of armor popping off when requirements are not met just cancel the effects given by the armor. With the same system checking if skill points are met if the answer is no cancel all the armors by setting them to 0.

Pros:
Fixes a major bug that causes people to lose items all the time (and complain about) also fool proofs my item lock suggestion so you can’t drop the items accidentally.

Cons:
Coding time (it’s a major rework) and issues reguarding setting item effects to null.

Other:
Level requirements are still checked and use the old system (so you don’t have a bunch of level 1’s running around in diamond armor).

THIS THREAD IS A WORK IN PROGRESS​

The purpose I am posting this is to see the community’s outlook on this idea.

________________________________

Also I am looking for criticism so please don’t be a stranger.

Credit to TidalWarrior since he actually posted this before I did (I did not see the thread it was an honest mistake)

 

Yoopity Doo I support you

 

The level requirement shouldn't be checked and use the old system. If so, armor wouldn't give the benefits anyways so there would be no harm with level 1s wearing diamond armor since it wouldn't do anything. Other than that, I fully support this

 

Yeah I put that in there because I don’t know if people want level 1s in diamond armor because it can be confusing to everyone especially new players

 

Would the message "So-and-so requires lvl X (or skill points Y) to wear" still appear whenever someone equips an item?

 

Well if you weren’t high enough level you couldn’t put the armor on but if you were high enough level and did not meet the skill point requirements the message would come up to let you know that the item’s effects are nullified

(Still working out what the message would say specifically)

 

Though it is a work-in-progress, the idea right now is fine as is. You just need to expand the suggestion with details.

Looking forward to seeing this thread's progression.

 

quite dank!

 

This has been suggested but it still needs to be done.

 

After the stuff i lost, I agree +10000001

 

Revolutionary idea bump

 

Personally never encountered the bug (to the extent of unexpectedly unequiping or dropping items), but I understand frustrations surrounding this issue.
Simple suggestion for a small fix to a very real issue.
I support.

 

I've had the bug remove my items but I always empty my inventory before logging off so it was never a problem.

 

Jake back at it again with another good idea!

+1

 

perhaps..
if you don't have the skillpoints to wear an item, but you wear it anyways, root the person to the ground or something, saying "This armor is too specialized in another element for you to wear" idek

 

This should totally be added, I agree. I've lost a couple things to this glitch and think your suggestion could be really helpful +1
