I had to go back to my game videos to refresh my memory as gear is not really my strong suit. Gear is one of those things I was chronically unhappy with in live, the balancing was so lazy. So, uhm, yeah I was talking about when /I/ hit RR80 on my SW (in 2010) so yeah, uhm, I was being a wee bit self-centered >.< Now that I've got my **** straight let me correct myself hereEsperflame wrote: ↑Wed May 09, 2018 12:49 pmYou do realize Sov gear was the rr80 set right? Sov was pretty strong, but it's Doomflayer and Warpforged that threw all balance out the window.
THAT is why I basically quit after RR80! I always played WAR for the fights and that particular change pretty much ruined everything for meTorquemadra wrote: ↑Wed May 09, 2018 4:40 pmYeah it was monstrously stupid, originally hitting rr80 got you an additional +1 level modifier to all your abilities, nice powerful perk and not gamebreaking.Nameless wrote: ↑Wed May 09, 2018 1:00 pm At 100 df and wf sets werent the problem. The problem was that mythic changed their formulas so each lvl past 80 was giving enormous advantage against post 80 chars. New Sets also were pretty good, but not so much better than sov. But the hidden lvls made the godlike feel
RR81-100 gave you this "hidden" level at every rr point and made characters essentially rank 60 THEN coupled with the insane power levels of the gear and you would get power grinders soloing warbands with impunity. It was later "nerfed" to 5 hidden levels (plus the one for rr80) so you would be level 46 at rr100 which along with the gear (which was also nerfed) was still incredibly broken which is why people hid at r39 in t3, turned off xp and had to wait till they had rr70 and could buy pity sov for gold.
That this was signed off on is one of lifes great mysteries, it wont happen here.

WAR's history seems to be filled with many baffling design decisions.

Valve makes bundles of cash of hat-acquisition-simulators. I imagine even without money, people will no-life away for some Khorne armor, or the Collector's Edition kegbeard.

Off the top of my head, I'm thinking:
RR 100 = Top Hat
RR 200 = Monocle
RR 255 = Gentleman's Cane
If that's too hardcore for people, I see it was implied earlier that changing character size is possible, so maybe something like every 10 RR level passed 80 = 1% size increase, then the normal size increase at 255 that everyone gets if that happens. Would be an appropriate way to show the prestige and age of a big squig I think that might not take too much dev work. If not that, maybe new or bigger nose rings? The one I'm wearing now is so last decade. Godzilla skin would work too FTR.
