New Custom Item System Launch
New Custom Item System Launch

Ysabel

Director, Operations

Your patience has been rewarded! The new CI system is here!

Our apologies for the delay, but of course ensuring that everything is working properly was of great importance. That being said, any problems noted with the new system should be reported to our Bug Reports section. Discussion and questions for Yog-Sothoth are in this thread on the forums.

In case you are in the dark about what's going on, please see Blackswann's forum post about the new system.

Since the restart earlier tonight, you will find that any customs you had (with the exception of special shirts/tabards/etc. from Neverendless special events) are now somewhat changed... (Yes we are aware that some models are looking quite... interesting at the moment!) Fear not! You can reclaim your items via the special link on our brand new Donation page.

This link is ONLY for a one-time-per-item recustomization of items built under previous systems. Once you have recustomized an item to the new system, you will need a recustomization token for any future recustomizations of that item.

For this initial recustomization to the new system you will not be able to change the display model of your item. This will be available in future recustomizations, however. For this initial change, your items will retain the display model they carried prior to the implementation of the new system.

Please do be patient once your forms are submitted and your items are being rebuilt as the Custom Items team will surely be very busy in short order. We will work as quickly as we can to get all items done and sent but as a very high volume of items is expected it will take some time.

A huge thank you to Development Team, Yog-Sothoth, Blackswann and all others who contributed to building this new system! We hope you will find it more balanced and effective. Happy recustomizing, and enjoy!

    Hi
    Would have been nice to get some sort of compensation for the lost gems and enchants do to this custom restructure. Replacing this will be very costly if you don't have enchant or jeweler talents.

    Pesonaly i was praying for a custom rebalance a long while now.

    But i have to say this system is far from perfect.. and seems like a overkill.
    And that can be dangerous for the server

    so why this weird cap on wordlenght? inappropriate, conversation, ponylicious ... those r just a few words i had to change/misspell...

    and why did u have to alter our quotes to that message? i had really thought about them long in some cases... now i kinda have no method of lookin at my old quotes to copy them, or did i miss something there?

    and i cant use that icc rep rings as templates, that a bug or should it be that way?

    oh ok and all my donor chars, well i didnt look at the other chars appear to have some kind of shirt on, which doesnt show on the character sheet and therefore isnt removable, but apperantly other ppl cant see it on me... will that be gone once the new customs r here, and whats up with that in general?

    <Hidden>

    User

    i dont care about customs or recustoms or less gems or more stats ,im just happy that now all those over confident ret speladins will have to carry vasoline with them to arenas and bgs to ease the pain of being %$%$%$%

    LOVE IT !!!!

    The system sucks, equipment and ID Display errors
    The percentages were incorrect.
    Example: item level 264 is increased by 20% would increase level to 284 not 290.
    Creating of 264-290 would correct increased 26%
    270-290 increased 20%
    277-290 increased 13%
    The percentage should be based on the level of the item, not in fixed percentage of 20%.

    Item Level means nothing as far as how good an item is, it's just a way to identify what level content the item drops from. It has no affect on the gear stats. The 20% increase is to the stats on the item, that's it, not the displayed item level. They could give custom items an item level of 20,000 and it would not matter. Stats are not tied to item level.

    If it is important for based items in blizzard
    That is, items lvl 264 do not have the same statistics that lvl 277
    Do better by creating a custom base for each character
    Create a pvp base and pve base, to select the favorite

    That's what you are failing to understand, it's not important. Item with the same item level can have different stats, item level does not mean anything. The 20% bonus on customs is a 20% bonus to the stats, it does not matter what item level they put on them.

    I pick an item lvl 200 piece as my template and the custom item would still be item level 291. The 291 item level on customs is a completely arbitrary number. The only people it will matter to are the people who think a higher gear score means someone is a better player.

    Picking the piece with the highest item level is a horrible way to choose gear as there are many specs where an item with a lower item level will actually be better for you.
