Apply bonus magic find and extra gold to realm games based on elapsed time up to a max. of 1 hour maybe.. 1.5% mf and gold find per minute would be sweet, 90% total is not too much to make it broken and would feel quite nice when just playing in a single game for a longer period of time.

One other thing that is just QoL to me but might be too much of a change: allow skills that are hotkeyed to be executed immediately upon pressing the hotkey instead of selecting it into one of the mousebuttons. It can get quite annoying at times just to buff up or skill switch constantly, many people might be against this feature but in general it would be an improvement to gameplay imo. (Just think about not having to interrupt your stance anymore, for example.)

Some more ideas:
Auto-fill belt with potions on button press or hotkey click.

Add attribute points to existing quests like countess and others, I am not sure how much the quests and item requirements are going to change in Sigma but extra stat points early on will be a huge help for meeting requirements on many items.

If Gift Box feature and mechanic is staying, I think it would be for the best to reward every character with a 3 Tokens once you open the Gift Box, cube one token with an item of the type you want to receive a random unique item for. This would get rid of the current bias towards certain gear types on characters and allows everyone to gamble for uniques of every equipment type instead.

Some sort of achievement & title system? Defeat certain Uberboss xx times to unlock a title or something like that.. not really needed but some cool vanity feature for the very ambitious players.

Had some more ideas but can't seem to remember what those were atm, might update the post if I happen to recall something meaningful.

1) Have you ever been in a farming area for 90 minutes? That doesn't seem very useful tbh.

Hence why I said it wouldn't be too broken to the point people could abuse it for farming certain areas, it would just be a nice boost for people playing through the game landing some extra drops.

I know this exists but it still requires you to click every single potion / berry / symbol to fill up your belt..

can get you up to 220 to all stats (+10% from elemental prism-> +242 to all stats)) I usually use those runes until I'm lvl 90 (when I finally need max res)

I don't know where you are getting the numbers for +170 stats from but otherwise that's a good argument, however relying on that many runes can lead to mean suprises when you attempt to switch them out for something else.. you end up locking your equipment sockets for a very long time whereas my suggestion would turn many unpopular quests more useful for everyone.
Also, socket number on gear relies a lot on the actual tier, body armours don't get their max. number of sockets until tier 6, for the most popular armours that's a solid 100~150 extra strength required from t5 to t6. I know MO's are also a short term solution available as an option, but very unattractive to me.

HechtHeftig wrote:5) So basically 1 Token = 2 arcane crystals? If that's the case, then there should be a restriction like: only works on tier 1 and tier 2 items.

Yes basically that would be the idea on how they worked. Put a Token with a Hard Leather Armor [1] for example and you would get a random unique body armour tier 1~2.

HechtHeftig wrote:to your 2) It was suggested before and it was discussed already, but I can't remember what the outcome was. If I remember correctly, they said it's impossible with the current engine. Maybe Sigma will make it possible. But even then, don't expect it in the first patch. It'll probably take very long to implement.

Oh, yeah I can see how something similar was suggested before, my bad for not searching enough.
I was hoping it would be possible for Sigma seeing how many other improvements are on the way, hopefully someday we will see such a feature.

Not a big deal, but maybe some items get reduced names. I know at one point, there was a goal to reduce clutter (like the shrine title rework from 10 charges to just 10), so maybe stuff like Light Plated Boots become Plated Boots and Full Plate Mail becomes Heavy Plate or something to play off of Light Plate, etc.

Pretty minimal change but might be nice.

I like this idea a lot, removing some clutter from item names would indeed feel better. Renaming weapons like Short Sword into a more specific weapon name like "Kaskara" would feel more impactful aswell.
This is not only an aesthetic improvement but also reduces clutter on screen from dropped items to a certain degree.

@ghrim:
No, you didnt understand. Shift click (iirc) to fill the belt with pots with just one click on the pot in the vendor window.

Yes and I am talking about a way to do the same thing after you die and all the potions/berries/symbols from your belt land in your inventory.
I know that you can shift-click on vendor potions to buy potions for all belt slots at once, and to fill in potions one-by-one from your inventory.
Maybe I wasn't clear enough on the initial post.. sorry about that.

To expand on this idea, would it be possible to auto-pick up potions when there are empty slots in your belt, similar to how gold gets auto-picked?
That would be quite a neat feature aswell.

Oh ok.

Shift clicking things will probably be added a few patches after sigma is released, plugy-like inventory and things like that have priority.

Since it is well known that 60-70% of players stop playing after 2-3 weeks into new ladder cuz of boredom here is a small list to keep ladders a bit longer and more alive. Drop rates and progress trough mod are awfull since it was always sp based mod so here are few things wich need to be tweaked for mp to have a good and nice multiplayer experience again.

- remove static uniq drop from act bosses
- remove uniq creation
- remove uniq uptier
- remove rune downgrade (only upgrade with 3 each)
- remove set form griswold terr (dunno if that is still in if y remove)
- remove set drop from terr ubers and late terror
- nerf slightly rune drop
- nerf slightly shrine drop rate
- nerf slightly rand sacred item drop
- nerf slightly set, su drop
- nerf tcow xp
- buff act bosses - so fights are atlest somehow interessting
- buff heroics
- buff mobs and bosses in ubers
- buff mo gold cost to 50k

This should slow down a bit the insane progress trough mod and should keep players more busy with playing. Casuals who refuse to play by own or dont have time to play can buy items and stuffs trough TG like they always do or trade with various ingame trade stuff they find.

Cant speak much about chars what has to be buffed or nerfed since i didnt played much but looks like that thorn druid and divine pal could need some slight nerf.

I agree with anything besides mo price increase. Its semi-cancer already and with 50 k price it would be too annoying, even if you take in count pot of love.

Having high doubts about a lot of these changes because I still think people would find a way to blow through into dest in a matter of a few days or a week

In other words - revert MXL back to 1.70-1.99

PS: As for me. I think Beacon skill needs some hard-skill buff. Like reducing delay between attacks. Now this skill used only for speed buff from

Sky Scorcher

or when you really have no choise as assa (psy-sin mostly)
