Ok Grim, so the naming is out of the question, but what about the idea of an item itself?

That's really too bad that this is your stance on things HCS...

I think it would be a wonderful way for folks to feel as if the game was alive and growing -- to be able to earn a 'place' in the game world.

Honestly -- Phool would indeed be at the top of the list of those who earned that. Hands down.

As for you NateRich -- Phool is/was the single most helpful individual to have played. He utterly Lacked the arrogance/hatred/mean-spirited-ness of __ .

you hit every point, and if any player could get a item named after them, he should be the one

An interesting choice... but what about the idea for an item with negative enhancements?
We already have many items with negative bonuses, why not enhancement as well?

and if still not favorable

How about a CA25 potion?


I appreciate your response Grim (even though I don't like the answer)
Perhaps you will honor us again with your presence and a more complete answer to the original post?

And I bet there are tons of other players that have the same qualities but we just don't know about it.
Infact I think I can come up with a dozen allready by myself. There is no need to idolize a person, sure he might have been great, but there are other great people in the game also.

Phool left, so u can stop the sucking up now. Or do u want to propaganda a Phool's relic aswell? Or a legendary creature called Phool? Oh no, one of the new Titans must be named after him aswell. Hhmmm, oh wait, a new skill named after him, afterall we need new 800 skills...

Sigh, accept that he left, and honor him if u must, but stop the idolizing as if ur spreading the Word of the Lord above.

Although it would be nice to have the name in there, it's not going to happen so let's keep this ON topic so the thread doesn't die off without being considered by the cows because of the naming of the item.

Having a negative enhancement on some pieces of equipment would allow guilds who have spent fsp and gold for upkeep on their Fury Shrines to keep the structure benefits as they were first intended while also allowing CA to be buffed at various levels to aid the players in finding right level for each realm.

Very simple solution to the problem IMO. I vote YES!! Great suggestion. :D

Yeesh.. so much negativity.

1) I am not idolizing him.
2) I am not the crazed person who has made dozens of random threads about the guy (not that you are either).
3) I was simply sticking to the topic with my response. I added to the suggestion by stating that it would be neat if folks could earn a place in the game itself. Also, in sticking to the topic -- I started with the name that was already present. Nowhere did I say, nor would I ever even hold the opinion that, no one else could ever qualify.

So, please -- loosen up on the 'haterade' and stay with the topic.

AZUK made his way into the storyline once, he caused the release of many creatures, just wish he could somehow do it again. (Selfish reasons that I cannot BEAR.)


Back on topic.

The negative enhancements would be cool, however I would prefer more inventable potions for the CA problem.

The idea of items with negative enhancements is not to obtain a negative enhancement percentage for your character

Just as enhancements max at 100%, so should they min at 0%
At least, this is how the negative bonuses work...
If I wear an item with negative 50 defense (and no other items)
My defense is not -9 {that is, 1 (base stat) + 40 (armory guild structure) - 50 = -9}
My actual defense stat is 1
Your overall character stats can never be below this base stat regardless of the items you wear

So an item with a negative enhancement would presumably subtract from your guild structures and other items
But would never decrease an enhancement below zero percent

I'll ask Hoofmaster about negative enhancements. See what he thinks.

Fury Caster is not the only enhancement where negative is positive

Negative Dodge, Nullify, Reinforced Armor, and Hypnotize enhancements could be useful for players using the Suicide Tactic
(Especially if they had negative defense/armor/HP stats as well)

Items with a negative Master Crafter enhancement might be useful for players trying to craft certain items where lower craft levels are more desirable

Finally, even desirable enhancements could enrich this game by being negative
Do I use this item with higher damage but a negative Elite Hunter enhancement...
Or do I use this other item that does not have that negative enhancement but also does not have as much damage?
Does the extra damage allow you to 1-hit? How negative is the elite hunter enhancement? 10? 50? 100?
Negative values for enhancements we want, could complicate the item planning process with these types of decisions and thus improve the game

Besides all the nonsense about what to name such an item, this is a great simple solution to a large frustrating problem. I really hope the Cows add this.

I like this idea. Too many items are ignored and only a few pieces actually gets used for hunting. I like the idea of buffs like oceanic and greenskin being powerful enough that you want to mix around your gear sets, just to wear something with one of these enhancements for a level or two.
