Veteran Item Issues

[mutinous]

Currently you can obtain more red items than there are possible property/trait combinations in the game. I don’t think anyone needs more than 10 of any red item.

I personally have over 16 of each red necklace/trinket/charm and after patch 1.2 it takes me a week to open enough legend boxes for a red and I am sick of revealing duplicate items.

Perhaps you’re afraid people might quit playing if you fixed the loot system but I would argue people would be more likely to continue playing.

This is a major issue and it needs to addressed. Ignoring this issue(and others) and not communicating what you are working on is a detriment to everyone involved with the game.

The likely plan for red dupes is allowing players to take a set of reds and break them down to turn them in to another red (that is not included in the original set of now broken reds).

@Fatshark_Hedge

We’re prototyping both a “mash reds together to get another red not in the mash” system and a “red dust” upgrade system.

@Fatshark_Hedge

Thanks all for your humbling feedback. We do agree, a ‘red dust’ type system is the future.

A theoretical red dust system is great and all…but it would be a million times easier to put a cap on the amount of duplicates you receive. Or add an option that allows you to opt out of receiving duplicates.

The game has had this problem since launch. I haven’t seen the back end code but I can’t help but think it would take a single developer less than a day’s work to cap red duplicates.

Red dust is a rumor for a bandaid that I’ve been hearing about for months. With no timeframe or evidence it’s even happening myself and many other players can’t help but see the current system as intentional.

RNG is a core part of the Warhammer experience We like to be true to our roots 'ere!

You can be thankful that we won’t get the honor of using 5 red for a chance of a random new one.

Welcome to the official forum you now know how it is to be another small fish.
