Hello, In last weeks, the dev team have worked for do the game more balanced. They have worked to balance card and this work are good. But for me, this game will more balanced with more balanced item. I want talk about "weak item". Some item are weaker as similar item. The goal of this topic is found the "weak item". What item are weak? I call weak item one item who have weaker card than a similar item ( level similar, same poker token). For me these items needs buff (or the strongest nerf) and it is why I need your help for do a list of weak item. The first item I found week is Steel Shield a rare level 18 shield. For me the Sepia Shield (unco level 18 shield) is better. The first card is the same. It is obvious that Hard to pin down is better as Surging Shield Block. The third card have better block and now you can prevent the damage from Jarring block with armor. For the same reason I found Simple Wooden shield weaker as Shivering Shiled. I am sur we are agree that Thick Hide Armor is better as Hardy Mail so we are agree that Tough Hide Shirt is better as Reliable Scale Mail If you found more weak item, post it. Thanks you for reading. Sorry for my mistake my English is not good. Friendly, Platouf.
Read the descriptions. Jarring block has significantly higher block chance. The 2 damage is most of the times irrelevant at higher levels. Especially when it can be easily negated through armor. doesn't really matter, there are better items and worse items. Its a loot based gameplay. You can't have "good" loot without relatively inferior loot to contrast against.
Read what he wrote. He prefers the shield with the Jarring block. Relatively inferior is ok. Rarer loot should not be relatively/strictly inferior to uncommon loot. And strictly inferior items generally make the game less interesting and should at least not be at the same rarity level.
Rarer loot should not be relatively/strictly inferior to uncommon loot. His preference doesn't matter. I could prefer a strictly inferior card. Does that mean it should be rarer? Read the cards, they are the same rarity. The magnitude of the difference frankly isnt big enough to be making that much of a fuss about. I don't see why there cant be strickly inferior items so long as the inferiority is within a certain range. Pretty much very other loot based game has had a range for items of the same quality.
I'm reminded of this thread, which is about items which are universally and obviously inferior to other items.
