Gear quality color?

Post » Sat Jan 12, 2013 3:56 am

Right, was just wondering is it confirmed that loot/gear we get follows the now standard coloring on quality of the item?
As in;

Grey: Trash
White: Usable item
Green: Leveling item
Blue: Superior item
Purple: Epic
Orange: Legendary

Or something like that... You get the idea.


I myself really hate the whole coloring.
I hate to see topics on forums or chat ingame how "Casuals can get epix to eazy!"

So, if we can avoid the whole coloring of the title of the item, it would be really nice. Stats on the items are what they are. When the stats are better than in the item you are wearing, it's a better item. I see no reason to make a difference between the quality of the items.


How about you guys, what do you think?

I suspect it would be some sort of color scheme it's the most effective way doing it.

I hope gear remains with white text only, that just has different or better stats on it, or is named.

Although it wouldn't really matter to me i think that would actually confuse many players especially those who might not of played a MMO before.

I'm just getting real sick of these brain dead color schemes. Personal preference at this point.

Yeah, I agree.

And Allods online has a nice thing with the gear.
When you view an item, there's a mark of some sort (star iirc) on the stats that are important to your character.

Don't know how well that would work in this game though 'cause we're supposed to be able to use all kinds of weapons and gear with any class.
Do we even have stats?
Man, looks like I need to start looking for more and more info about this game...
Or just stop hanging around these forums... :D

How it would confuse someone who's never played an mmo? if people didn't know purple is better then green, how would they ever know.

This also has the problem of "but i worked so hard for these epics, now this new expansion/dlc is replacing them with greens".


Personally this whole White text has worked for Eve Online and I HOPE TESO uses 1 color for every item.

//one color to rule them all..
