[Poll] Item Upgrade

[raventh1984]

Hi ragezoners,

I need your advice on something.

What do you think of something like this while upgrading.

If you have an item that you are upgrading then when it fails it will loose an level. Just like Baruna.

What do you think should you enjoy it more or less?

Well that would depend on your server upgrade chances ofcourse, but as I'm sometimes already spending 200 scrolls from lvl 19 to 20 (or 9 to 10) nobody would ever have maxed out stuff :P, wich could benefit your economy or cause players to rage

A chance to reduce level rather than reduce a level if fail would be a better idea. Also, like said above, it depends on how your upgrade rates are and etc for the players to enjoy it.

It will be an Change to reduce. Same as Baruna has.

Upgrade rates are 10% more then Official

Even with a +10% increase, if I'm understanding you correctly, it would hard to get items to even +6, let alone +9/+10.

Like Fenris said, a chance to decrease (equal to the chance to upgrade, maybe a little bit more) would be better.

Another option is to make item upgrading safe, but a scroll is needed to prevent a decrease. This way people could get it to ~+5/+6 without using scrolls, then use them from there. Either way, I personally prefer the system as-is, but it's an interesting idea either way.

These are the rates i currently have.
tGeneral = { 10000, 10000, 7000, 5000, 4000, 3000, 2000, 1000, 500, 200 };

i was thinking about making it something like this cause i hate high rate. it doesnt feel like you have accomplished an thing.

30% 20% 10% 5% 2.5% 1.125% 1% 0.5% 0.250% 0.125%

And about the decrease
lets say you will have an 2.5% change that it will decrease an level uppon failing.

So i also like the idea of the scroll that protects your weapon for leveling down.

But again its just an idea.

Honestly that sounds like a pretty cool idea, if you make those scrolls obtainable trough farm (buy them for rc maybe), if its cs only it will suck balls (i dont know how you run your server) but looking at your posts i gues it will be farmable? :) great idea then

Why not just make a scroll to increase the success rate? Same shit with less unnecessary complexity. I really doubt many people would attempt to upgrade items if they knew there was a significant chance for it to downgrade anyways. That means essentially, the feature would be unused.
