Chaotic Heroes is a no, I will add another type of thing that makes you create the same char but with stronger abils and stuff.

Also, this is a topic for comments about the current idea. If you want to suggest something, please sugest it in another thread.

How about this: There are 3 classes, tank through str, damage through damage, and damage through spells. Each has it's own unique items as well as items that they can all use, like sets. There are also hybrid classes that can use items from two of the groups, however hybrid can't use one or two "ultimate" items that the specific classes have access to late game.

It is a good idea for the class specific items, but i wouldnt make to many of them or people will jus keep getting pissed off that stuff never drops for them like imp2 in twilights eve.

Enough just to make the class unique, but definitely keep a lot of the items available to all classes.

What about implementing items that boost a certain rate of item drop for a price?

that are like buffs instead of actual items? cuz if you had to lose an inventory slot to get a better chance to get an item... that would blow.

does this item drop off of random mobs? cuz if so then yeah that makes sense, but if its like a boss drop, a time limit would be kinda lame :P

An item imo becomes specific from its own effect. You don't need to restrict its availiabillity to a class. If somenone for some, unclear to me, reason wants to add an item givin +10.000 intelligent on a tank/dd, agi/str hero instead of addin somethin like +10.000str/agi or +10.000 armor for example then its his own matter...Remember the slots are only 6...so u need to pick wisely smile

I agree with Hurin.
It doesn't make much sense that a tank would be able to wear extremely heavy armor like platemail and stuff and fail to wear light clothing such a robes.

I wouldn't increase a drop rate in items, but maybe an increase in XP rate cool
And since we're on the subject of class specific, why not have several different effects on the items (differing from class to class) -- also, since all of the lifesteal items are basically useless at higher levels, you could put in another lifesteal high level item (or make that an effect on one of the sets or class specific?) cool

When faced with two choices just simply flip a coin. Not because it settles the question for you, but because that one second it is in the air you suddenly know what you are hoping for.

What about the other way around? Doesn't make sense for casters to have plate mail.
BTW, i was intending that you buy the powerups and they give you x increase in % drop of y item for z min.
