World Change Corkian Amplifier Description

Currently Corkian Amps have this description (using T2 amps for simplicity):

Use this while identifying or re-rolling an item to increase its ID rolls by 10%.

This description both doesn’t convey all the information a player needs to know about amps, but also can mislead players into thinking the amps will improve their already existing rolls, instead of just improving the random rolls that you get when identifying/reidentifying. To fix this, I propose this description, or something similar that conveys the same information:

Improves the newly rolled identifications by 10% whenever you identify or reidentify an item. Only works on the item in the first slot of the identifier. Does not work on negative identifications.

I was mislead when using this thing with a 38% diamond dust and I ended up with a 25% one... fml and the description have to be changed

 

Bump this is really needed—people are just wasting amps or getting confused when their items don’t get better.

 

i dont get why cork amps dont affect negative id's positively, like FR.

 

They don’t affect negative ids because of spell costs and how you want the more negative values for those. Imo they should affect negative ids and just make spell costs be affected inversely by amps or alternatively have spell costs be static like skill points and thus not affected at all. The first one would take dev time and the second one is unlikely to happen, so I’m not sure we’ll see a change to that anytime soon. This thread is just to change the description to accurately reflect what amps currently do.

 

I would be happy if they took some time to actually sort out the stuff with cork amps, like make them apply different effects to certain stats.

 

Bumping. This is a fairly simple change to add that would clear up a lot of confusion about amps. (Obviously the better option would be to have it affect all stats with it affecting spell costs inversely, but this is needed until that happens)

 

Now that Corkian Amps 3 have been introduced, I’ve been seeing even more talk about how amps work, and a lot of people are still unsure. Please just change the description on them—it would clear up a lot of confusion that people have.

 

Totally agree (Crunchy just told me in VC that 1 amplifier won't affect the 26 Eyes on All's I bought to rr off of the market)

 

The more people I talk to, the more convinced I am that this needs to change.

 

I’ll keep trying to spread the word for how these actually work, but it would be great if the description was just changed.

 

Literally no one knows how these things work. Please just change the description—it's confusing 99% of the playerbase.

 

Buuuuuummmmmmpppppp

 

This should be a relatively simple change—please just change it so I don’t have to explain to people why they’re rolling 0% rolls on negative ids.
