The difficult part of enchanting isn't the +1 +0 -1, it's luxing the item. The low chance RNG is giving the item the ability to go to +12. Once you can do that you just use the blue powder sold in the luxury shop which almost kills the chance to -1 your item. In other words -1 doesn't happen often if at all if you know how to enchant and isn't a very big punishment since gold items aren't that hard to get end-game.

If you hate RNG that much than how do you feel about instances and loot drops? That's 100% RNG and there's nothing you can do about it except run the instance over and over until you get your drop. Enchanting is a lot better than that.

At least with PvP gear you earn it via PvP battlegrounds and the more you win the faster you earn it, so the more skilled players will earn gear faster which is how it should be. The only RNG factor there is the enchanting which in the grand scheme of things is not bad.

Actually no, it´s far from random - there is a loot table and fixed chance for items.
Still, you can go 6 months without ever seeing it drop. It's.. frustrating.

The forums are making me really nervous about the future of this game. Most have only played up to lvl 27 and already people are calling for overhauls of major systems. I know that some of you have tried the Korean version and watched streams but can we at least experience the full release and some end game before changing major aspects of the game? :(

It's not punishment if you choose to do it.

If enchanting provided no tangible benefit then I'd agree.

But it does.

The difference between an enhanced weapon and one that is +0 is night and day.

Luxing and enchanting are two different things. He tried to enchant and it went down by 1 grade. So he needs a gold weapon to enchant it back to where it was, not a big deal end-game. Plus if you use blue powder I guarantee you that -1 is a rare chance.



I understand that you're saying it shouldn't be there at all, but to me(my opinion after playing k-tera endgame) it is an insignificant problem. Like I said I understand what you're saying and there's really nothing left to prove to each other. You don't believe in the -1 and I don't think it's a big deal. That's all.

A game in OBT has no end-game content.

Zero.

Nothing.

Do you need to play it before you understand that the game will fall flat on its face? Or can you make the conclusion that it will based on the information presented to you.

Why do you think people should be punished for things beyong their control? Because that is the current enchanting system.
