I suggest three new item classes to spice up the item drops in the game:
Legendary Unique
Legendary Mythic
Ancient
Legendary unique items would be like unique items, but with a legendary aspect instead of a unique aspect. The legendary aspect would always be ranked as on ancient legendaries, thus of the five highest possible ranks of the legendary aspect. You would have the possibility to change the aspect on a legendary unique item at the occultist, like with regular legendary items. Salvaging a legendary unique would give you the same materials as with salvaging a regular unique.
Legendary mythic items would be like mythic items, but with a legendary maximum aspect instead of a mythic aspect. You would have the possibility to change the aspect on a legendary mythic item at the occultist, like with regular legendary items. However, you are not allowed to equip more than one legendary mythic. Salvaging a legendary mythic would give you the same materials as with salvaging a regular mythic, including a spark.
Ancient items would be like mythic items, but more powerful. Ancient items would be even much rarer than mythic items and you could equip not more than one ancient item. If you have found an ancient item, you cannot find the same ancient item again, meaning that you have to salvage it to get the chance for another drop of this ancient item with hopefully more greater affixes than before.
With these three new item classes added to the game, there would be the following item classes overall:
I want them to bring back the rares with unique affixes, that were droped by champion monsters. I mean they are still in the game droped by these monsters, but no longer have unique affixes.
This would invalidate most legendary items because the unique legendary item would just be better with the one extra affix along with opening a big can of worms allowing uniques to have aspects. I think we can have more item types but not like this.
Who is ever going to use a regular glove if you can use Fist of Fate with any aspect on it?
Like epic items that have extra affix but its just economy related like extra gold drop or gem dropped. This is ok.
Great ideas. If you limit it to 1 item per character it would be cool. Having a single one in any slot. It could be light blue and call unique celestials. This increases the variety of builds. Making the possibilities endless. It could be a season… if it’s not good for the game they would be removed at the end of the season.
I was thinking if/when Angelic bosses come into the game, have them drop Ancient Uniques. and have their own lair system like current bosses do. Then when they add Diablo,Baal into the game add a minigame system to them for those who want to play it.
5 people rush through diablo’s chaos sanctuary lair alone to get to Diablo, each of the 5 players does theirs solo, . Once all 5 players complete diablo, they all enter uber diablo’s throne room to fight him
once uber diablo is dead, the 5 players fight to the death for the drops, and everyone gets their own diablo drops, but uber diablos drops they fight to the death for them, and here introduce demonic orbs, that do crazy things to items in the cube (crafting)
If I remember correctly mythic was originally a legendary item with multiple orange powers and only one could have been equipped / char, I’d like something similar with such a restriction.
This makes all 3 affix legend items useless though because you can just find the nearest unique equivalent and get an extra affix since it can now have an aspect. Your idea kills all legendary items.
