Item sets: Item sets have been a thorn in my side for some time now. I have struggled with the fact that the player cannot see what bonuses are being granted and thus not exactly knowing if the set is overpowered, underpowered or just plain annoying. This wipe I will attempt to dial in item sets into a better place. To do this, I will need your help, feedback and daily random images of cats sent to Aristox daily.
To update you on what to expect right out of the gate, I have disabled a lot of item sets until I can better tune them (maintenance and difficulty to pop). I will be updating the forum posts to let you know when a new set is added or modified so that you can provide feedback.
The method to my madness; I am looking to have item sets fill the void of deep rented items, while giving rewards that are on par with the difficulty to obtain and maintenance of the set.
