Infernal Trio - Discussion [Weekend Sale - Jan 3-6, 2014]

Like the title says, it looks like the Infernal Trio will be the weekend sale. ABL's, RAE's & the other one ( why pay more for an equipment purifier when you can still just pull the stat w/ an RAE? )

Just look @ the AU sale.

Edit - Edited title to fit better with new subsection ~Majik

Good for cleaning all the stats off a piece of gear.... say you temp stated a piece with bag stats and want to restat it later etc.

GF management doesn't understand +16 = money in their pocket. So instead they dance around it failing to realize it means with no reason to update gear, their is no reason to spend $ and buy diamonds.

Translation: The IS people still have no clue what they are doing.

They also don't understand that putting aggs in the itemshop = money in their pocket.

I don't understand why they aren't putting things out. It costs them 0.

Cammo> It's not the real Attribute Purifying Stone, it's the Equipment Attribute Purifying Stone that's on sale. It works JUST like an RAE, but gives no stone back. So 39 dias for the RAE that gives a mana stone back vs. 79 dias for wiping out 1 stat? EAP's should be MUCH cheaper than RAE's.

But yeah, still have a few Attribute Purifying Stones sitting around & always stock up when they sell them every other year. ;)

No good promo on 1st, no good promo over the year. Happy New Year.
Just have some damn fun! That's why we play games right?

Lol, I've long stopped purchasing diamonds for repeat sales. Not worth my time anymore. If a sale comes up that I actually need/like, then I'll buy stuff. But the diamonds I currently have is meant to last me a long time.

In other words, it's not worth it to drop anymore money into this game, just for fail repeat sales and piss poor decisions by our publisher. I'm free to play and have been for a while.

The difference comes from the RAE being Random whereas the EAPS let's you choose.

The difference comes from the RAE being actually usefull whereas the EAPS has no use at all. :lol:

Yrcanos> I understand that the EAP allows you to select which stat you wish to remove. here.. if I intend to remove all 6 stats from a piece of gear, it'll take 6 x 39 ( RAE ) = 234 dias vs. 6 x 79 ( EAP ) = 474 dias or 1 x 199 dias ( Attribute Purifier ).

The only time to use an EAP is if you really REALLY wanna clean a junk stat off a piece, but you may as well use RAE's. ie, you get 2 stats from easy purple gear. 50% of the time, you'll get the junk stat off consuming 1 RAE; the other 50% of the time, you need 2 RAE's to get the junk stat off = 78 dias.. 1 less than using an EAP.

Now, if we're talking about Twinking gear and using EAP's to wipe out 3 stats... well, you may as well clean it w/ 6 RAE's... it'll save you 3 diamonds. Restat your 3 stats you liked & then the 3 new stats = 1 extra charge that you get free from mini-games.

I don't see where EAP's are useful @ their current price. They should be MUCH cheaper.

Translation: The IS people still have no clue what they are doing.
While I agree that the IS people have no idea what they are doing for the most part (I agree with BB here that there should be a LOT more costume aggs available for me to purchase ALL the time, also ABL's should always be available, APS and RAE should be available all the time, etc), but there is no NEED for +16 stones and I hope they never make a full return to game. Lets get back to +12 being the normal. While I understand for those that have +16 gear there is no reason to upgrade gear right now, but eventually those people will either upgrade, or no longer be endgame. Period.

As for no reason to spend RL $ and buy diamonds right now, I disagree 100%. For a LONG time I went f2p, and felt no need to buy diamonds, however, recently there has been enough improvements in the way the game is being managed that I bought $100 worth of diamonds during the 150% diamond sale, and plan to spend that again during the next diamond sale to stock up (since I have pretty much went through the 8k diamonds between setting myself up, and gifts for guildies and friends (yes, I give things away for free - it's a game, it's meant to be fun so why not make everyone a little happier while I'm at it? I'm also still sitting on items given away from the GM event that I'm not using and giving away over time)).

They really should replace Equipment Attribute Purifying Stone with regular Attribute purifying stone. The one on sale is nearly useless and regular stone is going to become increasingly in demand as people realize that they only way they can realistically upgrade gear is by cleaning and restatting their old +16 gear.

Heck, they might as well remove ABLs too, since lack of +16 jewels is going to do a number to the market for newly farmed instance drops. They already did a bang up job deincentivising instance runs for mems by removing ability to buy anything worthwhile from mem vendors. Might as well finish the job and get rid of the other main reason for instance runs.

Now, RAEs... those are still good.
-- Rustyx --- 92R / 92S / 92M on Reni (Guild KnightShift). Yes, running the new FOTM R/M, cause I am not elf enough to be WD/S.

Oh, and people who have more than 3 classes are clinically insane.

Agreed. They should offer the regular Attribute Purifying stone instead of the Equipment Attribute Purifying stone in this canned sale. Much more useful.

Friday, January 3rd 2014, 7:50pm

EAPs should be slightly cheaper than RAE's.. heck, make them the same price even.

You remove 1 stat w/ the EAP... you don't keep it, it goes *poof*.

It's a good idea.. but RAE's will always beat them in utility vs. cost @ the current price.

This should never have been removed from IS : Attribute Purifying stone

+16 jewels i couldn't care less if they never came back. Also the 82 gear is no improvement to the level 80 one anyways and level 85 also isn't enough of an improvement to T8 and +16 all of it again. I'll keep my level 80 gear till level 90, maybe those will be worth T9 and +12 all the way.

Could we get +12 perfect jewels in IS permanently please, that would be so overdue i think

I think we almost spend more money on my girlfriend's magic closet then we do gear sometimes. She has 4 full pages on her main account.... and it hasn't let us buy a 5th yet.... her other 3 accounts have almost 2 full pages each. She LOVES running around finding new looks and if we could buy some new/exciting ones.... they would make more money.

+1...

honestly, i love the agg aspect of this game...i may not have the amount of aggs you guys have, but i have 10 costumes unlocked and used on almost all my chars...

yes, there is an addon that allows u to have more saved costume setups, but that never saves right, even when i exit game cleanly, i log back in sometimes with no sets saved, so i quit with that...
