matrixEXO Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 (edited) Alright, time to break it down. The Good: Allows for more mods or higher-ranked mods to be equipped. The Bad: If done wrong, allows for 8 fully maxed mods to be equipped. OK, what I am trying to say is: Think! If all your unpolarized slots (or at least half of it, rounded down) are capable of being modded, how many points would you actually use in total? And what are your balance mod points (out of 60 points because that's the highest we get and the highest we will use)? I have thought about it and the Prestige system needs to be finely-tuned for better accommodation to the "mod points" limiter system while being flexible enough to allow people to apply the mods they really want. Thus, my final conclusion is to allow us to only change 1 unpolarized mod slot into a polarized mod slot, no matter how many Prestiges were done. Instead, each Prestige past 1 allow us to change any non-ability polarized slots into non-polarized slots. The equipment will save whatever guaranteed polarity slots that were available on purchase/craft and if the Prestige polarized slot was chosen, allows us to change it's polarity. Thus, we get to "store" polarities that we do not like but was given to us and change polarities of a Prestiged mod slot. You can place the stored polarity back down but doing so will cost a level and cannot be removed until you have at least 1 Prestige point. What are your thoughts on my breakdown of the Prestige that obviously is not confirmed, the way it works?

HvcTerr Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 (edited) I think there are just too many unknowns about what they will implement. I agree that allowing truly free-form polarity changes of all 8 slots (even if that takes 8 prestige runs) will allow ridiculously powerful frames.

Tetsmeha Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 In a way, the polarity slots will let non-potato weapons to become just as good with more mods, spending time to level it. But for potato'd weapons I have no idea is really the point. I guess if you want that perfect ultra god mode weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woolytop Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Yes you're going to be able to equip a bunch of fully-powered mods, but it's going to be a very specialized set of fully powered mods. I mean, lets say you have a frost or rhino and you've changed all of your slots to defense slots. You're going to be able to apply all of the defensive mods (Redirection, fast deflection, vitality, steel fiber, marathon, and quick rest), but any other useful mods like flow, reach, streamline and rush will cost more points.

I know that but try translating it into weapons. It's kind of ridiculous. All the damage mods for a shotgun (Damage+, Multishot, AP, Ice, Fire, Electrical, Crit %, Crit Dmg+) would turn the most powerful shotgun currently ingame into a god slayer. Just think! It's that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azure_Kytia Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 (edited) They could allow for one or two "no polarity" slots to be converted into a particular polarity. After those two are polarized, then all they can do is adjust the polarities. :D I do wonder though, whether Mastery will be reobtainable after these Prestiges. My rank 8 would look very normal then D: Edited April 25, 2013 by Azure_Kyte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggh Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Or becoming OP will be necessary for end game missions. It's not as though the current missions aren't a breeze with decent gear now anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My rank 8 would look very normal then D: What I really want is Prestige effects, like Mire giving a gasy expulsion or Scindo giving a sharp glint. Something that makes Prestige more... noticeable.

Azure_Kytia Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Make each Prestige'd item visibly glow the Energy colour you've set for them. With each Prestige, increase the glow slightly up to a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyrus106 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I don't like the idea of weapons "looking cooler" with prestige. We don't need the same crap we saw from "Golden" skins on Call of Duty or that silly stuff. Polarity change will suffice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azure_Kytia Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 (edited) what ninja would use a glowing weapon lol. The same ninjas that use glorified lightsabers (Gram) and have little shiny lights all over their clothes/armour.

I think that'd have to happen after first prestige or something, since a lot of weapons don't have a polarity slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luxangel7 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Could someone kindly point me in the direction of where I can find out more about this prestige system? It sounds really cool from what I've read here but I am a little lost about what everyone is talking about...thx for any directions haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaskadar Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 (edited) If they do implement unlimited prestige polarization, they'd better make it so the resets required go up by powers of 2. 2 4 8 16 32 64, so it'd take extremely long to upgrade that last slot. OR... you could gain two total extra polarized slots at most. Edited April 25, 2013 by Vaskadar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luxangel7 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Thanks for showing me that, now that I understand it, I hope they put it into place, it would really make sense to me, especially for the crazy level 80 enemies you can get on wave 20-25 in certain worlds.... level 84 toxic ancient? Yeah...have fun with that right now....prestiged weapons? ....Becomes doable imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll allow you to change the polarity of a slot. Changing a slot from no polarity to V is also changing the polarity of a slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dEEkAy2k9 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 prestige depends a lot on what content will be implemented later on. right now, the level cap is 30, but there are enemies that are beyond that level. maybe we will get some missions after pluto with enemies that are 60+ or 80+ level where we will NEED prestiged weapons. although, prestige would enable us to relevel one of our favourite weapons, thus gain mastery points and that's another thing. mastery rank is only used to unlock a few weapons right now. maybe DE is going to release more content, or skills, or mods that will need specific mastery ranks. just like someone already said, we don't know what is going to be implemented so talking about that kind of things right now is just speculating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelonious Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 The way I understood it, it would only allow you to do it once. Seems balanced enough to me: weapons with a polarity slot by default would get 2 max, those without would get 1. I don't see the point of doing it multiple times anyway. You would not be able to benefit from it, your weapons/frames always being leveling. And there's only so much mods you can put till every slot is filled with maxed mods.
