You guys didn’t know how to have a system where we can buy to create a unique item in our name. I have a suggestion for that.

What about a new System, lets call it the Epoch Vault for now, this vault will be a reward for completing something inside the game, when interaction with this vault it will open a window with a item slot, this slot will only accept specific unique items, and a red button with something like “Timeline Variation”. When you put a allowed unique item inside this process it will produce a Variation, demonstration in the (beautiful) image bellow.

But you ask me, which are these variations? Well my friends, that is the best part, these are created by the following process.

  1. Someone will buy a new Support Pack only for this.
  2. They will loggin in the LE Website and access “Create Variation”
  3. They will choose only one unique from a list of uniques( limited by EHG, not all uniques will be present)
  4. They will select a theme variation, like poison, fire, cold, lightning etc (limited by EHG, not all option will be available for each unique)
  5. They will add their custom name for this new Variation.
  6. This Unique+Theme will be disabled for everyone else. If the name is rejected the creator will receive a notification to try another one in the next week or be removed from the process.
    7)This person will be unable to buy this package again and will only have one item inside the game.
  7. When the item becomes available it will be added to the pool of the Epoch Vault for that unique.

In the demonstration above I(ReiCoringa), selected Yrun’s Penance then i selected fire and then i put the name Coringas’s Penance, making a new unique that will work equal to Yrun’s Penance. but with fire damage and ignite.

I think this is my suggestion to add a new “buy a item inside the game” without removing the worth of older supporters, since this items will be only available if you go out of the way to change the unique. Since every few months we gonna have new uniques, this list will keep growing, if they add new thematics to the game this list will explode with options. Also it will create new build and it wont be a ton of work since it will use already made items but with a recolor.

The main issue I see with this is that you’re very limited in the uniques you can create. Rather than make a “Aaron’s Will” or something like that, that has a unique effect, changes your skills and is pretty cool, all you can do is conversions.

I would pay to be able to create a new original unique. I don’t think I’d pay to create a conversion one.

Yeah it will be limited, but it also wont replace the value of the items like “Aaron’s Will”, and also Mike already explained that ALOT of people want a “true” Unique made for them, but they until now are working in the backlog to create the items that were sold more than 2 years ago. That’s why i believe it isn’t viable to do in this moment. And i know creating a conversion has a lower value than creating a original, but i still believe that people will buy it, like me, i like the fire fantasy of the sentinel, if i could select a cold unique that i like and transform it in a fire unique to use on my sentinel i would 100% pay to have this item in the game + with my name on it.

Also they dont need to limit theme for only damage type, EHG can, if they want, allow you to create a variation of “Aaron’s Will” but for specters or abominations. Themes can be any type of variation of that item that EHG considers easy/balanced to do.
