The King Set in a costume format was a bad idea from the get go. Having players be able to earn something in game that has a good status effect Is great, having that item be a costume thus nearly defeating the purpose of costumes is not.

 

It's clone wars, and has been for a long time, no individualism in regards to pvp modes. I want to fight in a beer cap and a usa shirt you know? but losing out on 5% on 2 valuable stats put's you behind the 8 ball. It's like the new passives, you don't need them... until your opponent has them.

 

I'm told you originally had this in passive form, but was bugged. Instead of fixing the issue, you abolished the passive. I propose reinstating the passive, so you can trade your king set for a passive. Let us wear costumes for looks, not pvp status effects.

Nows probly a good time, Leonis dislikes the King set, as he had mentioned. There have been many suggestions to fix this, one of which that I was fond of was a costume enchant scroll, that can transfer a costume bonus to any set you want to use as a costume. Destroying the original much like the current enchant scrolls do.

We do intend on moving the King/Queen costume bonuses to another system, it's just something we haven't had enough time to dedicate to lately.  An attempt was made in the past by one of the previous developers to move the costume bonuses to a passive skill based design, but the passive skill system was missing some prerequisite functionality to make it work correctly.  Since then we have made improvements to how the passive skill system works, but haven't had time to finish what was started by the previous developer.

 

TLDR: We don't have time to work on it right now, but intend on making it happen once we do have time.

I'm just glad it's on your radar. Thanks

[angeltje]

so in future the king and royal sets will become useless, while it did cost lots of efford to get it

[jerremy]

You don't seem to understand. The bonuses of the king set will stay, but you'll no longer need to wear it to gain the effect.

What if one day i'm feeling like wearing king and another day royal ?

[Feuer]

wear them, they're saying the passive is a stand alone tha twould have nothing to do with the king set aside from needing to have it to learn it primarily, after that it'd always be up, and not rely on the costume. 

[xultrax]

You could create a NPC.. like that frog.. that exchanges the royal set costume for a skillbook that gives you those stats . Since it´s a skillbook, you cant learn it more than once , and people who like to wear the set can just keep it.

 

 

Just remember to make the skill pvp only..

You mean pvm only? After all you get the set from hunting PvM Kings. And there's already enough influence on PvP.

No I ment Pvp only.. i thought the bonus were only for pvp , but i was wrong ..

 

 

So make it whatever you want...

[Feuer]

It's not what I want* It's what makes sense. PVP Should be derived from PvP. PvM from PvM. If it's created by players then both. It it's rewarded from questing, depends on the type of quest interaction, so on and so forth. 

 

 

[xultrax]

Ok, back to topic, thats my suggestion.

hm so i could have 2 king passives at the same time ?

[Phish]

What if along with the specific King set you get a King's Emblem which has the stat bonus and would go into a separate, new slot on the costume tab?

[Feuer]

I myself don't like the idea of costumes providing pvp combat bonus'. There's enough strain on the pvp balancing side of things. 

[jagz]

Maybe when the dust settles of all the latest updates, this can be tweaked

[Genesis]

We'd still like to see this happen, however scheduling constaints keep pushing it off in favor of other tasks.

[Feuer]

I only cross my fingers that it makes sense, and doesn't require you actively wearing a costume for 2 main reasons.

First; you lose all personality by being required to wear 'x' costume to get 'x' bonus.

Secondly, If more sets are released then it's only to be a dead give away on who's built for what because they're obviously going to use the set that compliments their build the best. Part of the challenge of MMO's is not knowing what to expect before you initiate combat. 

 

So like I said, I'll cross my fingers it is done right.

If anything, just have an NPC trade function that gives the current owners the stats as passives. Then any NEW ones automatically reward you with the set + passive book. None of which require the costume to be active.

 

I could go into further detail, but I doubt there's a point. 

 

 

[TheRealCaNehDa]

*just saying* -- I don't want to have to destroy the costume to get the stats, I'd like to keep the costume and the stats plz, thanks. 

[Phish]

Then you could just keep wearing the King Set as a Costume.

[TheRealCaNehDa]

I guess they would have to make sure that the bonus didn't still work if the passive was earned, but I guess so... -- but I' wouldn't want to ALWAYS wear the king costume, every time I PVP... *shrug* 

I am very speratic about my costumes, some times I will feel like wearing a different costume, and then I change --- and sometimes I like to wear the king costume... but I don't like the shoes. 

if items (full king costume) is char locked than 5% ap passive = true  (kinda code)  input do not stack 

idk how code works, but something like that,  would work, no?
