Ngreth,
Will the new underfoot armor still require you to deaug everything when you upgrade the armor?
Like Ancient to MMM to Crystallos, every "upgrade" was a big pain. Waste platinum and time, running back and forth to deaug your type 7/8 then losing the purity aug. I always feel bad for newer players or people who forget to deaug before combining then they lose thier aug.
I would like to see the new armor "Transform" like evolving items when you get a upgrade piece. That would be ideal, and might even be possible.
yes and no.
With the assumption that you will want your augs, you will need to de-aug.
Underfoot armor does not require that you have the "previous" piece of underfoot armor... so you won't loose them in a combine, but they also will not automatically jump to the new piece of armor you get.
Is this for all armor of just non-visable? My concern is that if it is possible to get the top groupable underfoot armor without requiring the "previous" piece, where is the incentive to actually progress? At least with SoD, I need to get so many T3 essences in only T3 zones, then T4 essences in only T4 zones. If I would've been able to hop into OBF from day one, loot a T5 essence and make the best groupable piece of armor available, I wouldn't have worries about the T3 and T4 pieces. Just being an honest Capitalist here http://www.mapfiend.net/eq/images/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif
it is true for all underfoot equipment.
