We should bring it to the next dev stream (if it wasn’t already… and I missed it)

It has been asked at least a couple of times thus far – maybe more, but I haven’t bothered to transcribe the latest dev streams. There’s just so many of them now.

Q: Any plans to have more than 4 craftable affixes down the road?

A: We’ve talked about it. We actually used to have six. We intentionally dropped it down to four. Who knows, it might go back up at some point, though it’s not likely to go back up pre-1.0.

Q: What you think about the idea of certain items getting 6 affixes, like 2 handed weapons or chest armour?

A: We’ve talked about that. Having it be certain items getting it and others not is potentially a little confusing and potentially a little, ‘well why don’t all of them get it?’ Instead of that, every base item has what we call an “affix effect modifier”. For example, if there’s an affix on a 2 handed weapon compared to a glove the 2 handed weapon affix will be 2.25 times more powerful – I think that’s the number, but I could be wrong. So there’s already some compensation for it being on a 2 handed weapon especially compared to a 1 handed weapon. 1 handed weapons are 1.6 or 1.5 and 2 handed weapons are 2.25 I think, and I’m sorry if I’m wrong on these numbers. We posted them in the Discord a while back and if you really want to know I’m sure several of our community members will tell you.
