World New Item Type: Hidden

The Hidden Item Type idea is fairly simple in concept. The Hidden Type would be place just under legendary at 1/136. There design would be of darker colors like black and grey.

Know, here is my favorite part. The Weapon stats (due to this type's name) would be hidden. By hidden, I mean that they would have unseen abilities by the player, some are great, but hurt you, and some are trash. They would still need to be identified, however, for there names and (this may be too much but) bios as well. Powders would still work on these weapons.

This 'hidden feature' would exclude level and stat requirements, as well as powder enchantments.
There would also be different types of Hidden Weapons, such as water, fire, earth, air, and thunder. The different types would also be found in areas with that type of stat.

These weapons should be mysterious.

 

Newbies might want them, but tbh I find it funner to know exactly what I have, than to keep it a mystery. Plus, what if there's stats/reqs that completely fuck up your build, but you don't realize?

Also, it would be easy to find out what the ids are. Take off all your stuff, put on the hidden, then check your stats.

 

Well, to answer your question, stat requirements are shown, same as level and elemental stats, and these are only supposed to be weapons, I am sorry if I did not make that very clear at all.

 

First, what do you mean by ‘bios as well’? Just sort pf confused.

As for the rest of the suggestion, I feel that having the identifications being hidden from the player would be really frustrating and not really add that much to the game. Nobody would use them in builds because they have no idea what the stats are.

People would also find a way to determine their stats anyways, the way they did with the black catalyst set(forgot what its called, the rings from corrupted underworld crypt)

 

Well, as for bios, I mean like legendary bios. As for the remaining questions, I have no asset that would not change the idea beyond recognition.

 

What are legendary bios?

 

I think he means lore.

 

I agree with this. While I do agree with blank it would be easy to check the stats, I doubt anyone would just blatantly put them on without knowing what they do unless they're curious. It would also be annoying to sell these items, as you'd have to do what blank said and fully unequip your armor to see the ids and then judge whether a player would be willing to buy them. With hidden ids as well it would be quite easy to scam players. For example, you could say "Oh yeah this hidden item has max mana regen at 3/4s" when in reality it only has 1/4s but the player buying it wouldn't know this until they looked at their own stats and saw it themselves. Unless these "hidden items" are going to be untradeable, then this issue will present itself. Overall a cool concept but I personally wouldn't want it in game because of the problems that could arise with it.

 

I am sorry if this is not clear, but these types are only sopposed to be weapons, and even that, just fun little things that may help you but are still cool to collect.

 

I did not notice this, but the problem of scamming could and most likely would arise unless people were buying to collect them and didn't care about stats

 

Do you think fully random stats would be better, so that every weapon is different, but the stats would be revealed this time around?

 

That is the way weapons work currently.

 

Then what is the item guide?

 

The Item Guide says the average of each stat. The Item Identifier then chooses a random number within the range and that is the number for that stat. Look at two different items with the same name, their stats will almost certainly be different.

 

I do agree with you, but what I am implying is complete randomness. One may have all bad stats, one all good, one a mix. If you see my meaning.

 

Thag would sometimes create absolutely overpoweered items and sometimes awful items. They take days to make a single item because of all the balancing

 

The randomization would have its limits to were it was found and the level it was found in. This is new water to me, however.

 

This seems like something many people would scam with saying it’s OP then they trade it and it’s trash because you can’t see ids

 

And that is exatctly how weapons work now

 

This looks like interesting!
