Now I'm not sure about you guys but I was actually really looking forward to having gems in the game. Fun way to power up. HOwever it has recentley been brought to my attention that the gems have one thing in particular about them that has caused everyone to be praying to RNGesus: The stats are randomized.
I am not sure if this is true or not, so if it is false please forgive and tell me then ignore this entire post. Anyhow, from my understanding the gems are randomized in two ways. Firstly is the type of stat that each gem gives. Thats perfectly fine. THe second however is the amount of stats a gem gives will be different from another. As a result, even if you have two of the same gem type that are fully maxed out, one will still give more stats then the other. If you still don't understand what I mean here is a metaphor. Take two people and have them train the same amount of training. One will always be faster then the other because he has better genetics. Gems from my understanding are like that. One will always be better than the other.
Why is this? Weapon, hats, and masks work like this don't work like this so why do gems? It makes it so that becoming as strong as someone else requires you to be extremely lucky. I mean they did this in other games such as Pokemon too, but in Pokemon they have ways so that you can get a Pokemon with perfect stats if you know what you're doing. Here its purely RNG. Is this really something we want?
In my opinion gems should work like regular gear. At the same levels each gem will give the same amount of a stat as another gear. I have heard the argument that people don't want to do this because it causes everyone to have a differnt build. FIne. If you want to do that change it so that the order the stat is in the gem has an effect on how much it will give.
Anyone else agree with me or have a better solution?
