Excanto 336 Posted April 23, 2015 Item quality is a great feature but why is the Pristine - Ruined scale visible to the player? An objects texture changes as it is damaged or repaired, isn't that enough. The game obscures 'gamey' mechanics like blood and health levels for the sake of immersion, what's more immersion breaking than an obsession with 'pristine' items. If my gun isn't firing I don't want to check the colour coded item quality. I want to look at the gun and think, Does it look completely fucked up? Or does the ammo? Or the magazine?LOL, makes me think about some poor officer in a heated gun battle in LA that got hit in the hand and he couldn't reload his pistol because some of his hand was jammed in the slide of his pistol. I can mostly tell when I see screwed up boots, but lately I have seen some gear that looked damaged and says pristine. Also when I repair something it still says damaged even though it is now pristine. I drop it and pick it up and it says pristine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep It's useful for bugfixing but that wont be necessary for ever. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even just moving an item inside the gear will make the model synch up. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xalienax 621 Posted April 23, 2015 damn metagaming makes me sick. always gotta be looking at stats and shit this ball cap mitigates more damage than this beanie its OP blah blah blah thats all i read.Welcome to MMO land. Also this has nothing to do with being over or under powered its about getting the best, and giving your avatar the best possible chance of surviving. Better gear is no certainty but it is definitely an advantage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NinjaTurkey 255 Posted April 23, 2015 If the state of clothing didn't affect the damage you take i would be quite happy to look shabby and survivory. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
