Error message needs rewording when using crafted primals

PTR Bug Report
1

When a player attempts to wear more than 1 of the primals created with Cube Recipe #11 , they are told:

This is the same message they would receive if they tried to wear 2 of the same type of ring or weapon.

This causes player confusion because it is not stated in the game that they can only use one of the crafted Primals, and players getting this message think the game is bugged because they are not wearing 2 of the same item.

There needs to be 4 changes made so that players are not confused about how these new items work:

  1. The item needs to be called something other than “Primal” to distinguish them from other primal items. Why not call them “Primordial”?
  2. The item itself needs to have a note at the bottom saying that the player can only wear one of these crafted primals at a time.
  3. The description on the cube recipe needs to say that only one of these can be used at the same time.
  4. The error message needs to be changed so that it says You can not equip more than one “Primordial” or “Crafted Primal” or “insert name here” at a time.

That way there will not be any confusion when they get the error, and players won’t think that the game is bugged since they are NOT equipping 2 of the same item.

Although I understood that at the outset from the Patch Notes, I was playing with a buddy and he was dismayed that he could not equip both an upgraded Primal weapon and an upgraded Primal chest armor, since they were obviously not the same item.

  • Side note: I think the player should be able to equip one crafted Primal of each type;
    Set, Armor, Jewelry, Weapon (Offhand would make it too good).
