Just wondering if anyone else thinks that there are alot of higher lvl weapons etc coming in future chronicles. I mean in NG, you have about 10 weapon choices for a particular type, D grade lots, C grade less, B grade only a couple of choices, A grade 2 choices in weapon, and not sure how many choices you have in S grade, as the website doesn't show tem yet. It would be nice to have a few options when picking weapon/armour. In NG you rarely found someone that looked like you, in D grade, it was a bit more common, C grade, fairly common, B grade very common to see someone with same armour and weapon as armour stats push usually a single type to a class, and the weapon is almost always the same as well. And for alot of classes (ie healers) the SA's for the limited weapons are so bad it doesn't pay to ever get better then a C grade weapon. Unless you can say it is hard to find a healer with a Homu.
Please add a variety of weapons/armour in the upper grades so there can be some variety, at least in SA possibilities. Expecially with daggers, since they removed MM from the list of possible SA's they never replaced it with a new one. With focus being on the lower grade item, and the missing MM from the upper one, it doesn't really pay to get the top dagger for your grade as the SA's on the top one are not worth it. SOmething like C grade weapons, same crystal count as current ones, same damage, just different SA's available on different weapons.
i think the reasoning for it is cause, ppl will inherently save up for the best equipment for thier class instead of doing a step up method. So why waste time making low and mid level items for a grade where ppl will only buy/make the best in said grade.

I agree, but it would be nice if they had more s-grade weapons... they can have the same base stats, btu different looks and different sa... maybe create the ugliest weapon ever and give it acumen... that will teach those nukers!
Well in alot of cases people buy the weapon with the best SA for them. This is not always the top weapon of a grade.
For Daggers, which I can speak with experience, people usually stick with the mid C dagger, the low B dagger, and the low A dagger. Not becuase of price, but due to the fact after the dagger nerf of C3, when Might Mortal was taken off the list of SA's for the top weapons in each grade, they were left with an open hole. You only have 2 SA's to pick from, and neither one will help you like focus does on the lower weapon. It is my belief, it was made that the lower dagger got focus, and it was worth it to buy the upper one for MM, since it is essentially a better focus. I they had a few more weapons of same attack and crystal values, changed the look a little, so not everyone in a class had exact same weapon, and gave more options to fill the holes left behind with the SA rip, would be nice.
This also applies to healers, where I can also speak from experience. How many high lvl healers do you see with a Homu SA'ed with Acumen? They can be in B grade, or even A grade, and yet you see that same weapon on them. Why??? Becuase there really is no reason to upgrade from the Homu, with a few more SA's to choose from with a few more weapons in place, you might see a bit more variety.
screw that, i want as many weapons and armor as they have in WoW, im tired of this, o i get 3 weapons to pick from, SCREW that, i want it were i can find a unique, hell make it like D2: LOD. I want armor that other people dont have.
this isnt cool to have a game that everyone has the same things.
give me a break, putting in weapons and armor isnt that hard, your graphics are great, thnx, but the uniqueness of the game is seriously LACKING.
then go play WoW plz, and wow unique ?? have you even played it ?? most of not all high lvl players are walking around in the same high end gear there aswell, and in D2: LOD every class had a so called "best setup " aswell.
in the end it doesnt matter how much you can pick from, when one is better then the other people playing competivly will always go for it

It already exist. It's called the homu. I will never ever ever use a homu again; it's so ugly, it makes my eyes bleed.
As for WoW vs L2; the weapons in WoW have NO detail compared to L2. They have the variation, but it all looks the same IMO. The armor has different colours and everything, but really, it's a cartoon world. I'll take L2's detail over WoW's variation any day.
But yeah, a few more choices would be welcome.
You know I would even be happy if they filled in that MM gap with a useful SA. It is sad when due to a nerf, the game semi-forces you not to get the best weapon available for your grade.
A few different looks would be nice as well. I know alot of people that are forced to carry a weapon (heheh homu mentioned here already) that hate the look, but really have no other useful option. The sad thing is this is a C grade weapon, but since there are no comparable B grade weapons, for the SA's available, the Homu is used almost forever. A few weapon varities, with a few different SA's to choose from might just get healers to upgrade their weapons and look forward to getting rid of that Homu once and for all.
Where's the melee haste/focus SAs? I'd like to have Dragon Slayer SA Focus too, or a Polearm with Haste.
2handed swords, 1 for A-grade, 1 for B-grade, 2 for C-grade... great...hmm, let's see, what would I pick for B-grade... how hard is it to make a few more weapons? You could do "statistical twins" like AOBA/Deadmans Glory. Same stats, different SAs and graphics. Would be nice to have more variation there. And what's with the S-grade? 1 armor per type?

Crit Power Replaced MM in most instances. Some daggers got Haste or Rsk.Haste instead. The descriptions on many daggers were not updated and still only list 2 possible SA...but you can get the 3rd just fine.

Just a thought: A way to be able to introduce more weapons into the game would be to only allow 1 SA on a weapon. That way people looking for a certain SA would use that wep which might not be the highest wep for that grade. Some SA's are better for PVE some better for PVP. So you would have to decide which way you wanted set up your toon. Or by 2 different weps which would be to big of a problem since most people do that anyway.
