A suggestion for perfect cards

rudel.dietrich · 07-08-2019, 03:50 PM

I am not someone who pulls a lot of these. But I have a small handful and have seen lots of others. Their current design does not really make them 'pop'
Gold and Diamond instantly stand out. The current perfect card is sort of a shiny black that is not terribly different from iron.

My proposal would be for OOTP XXI to keep calling them perfect cards but make them a very shiny platinum color.

Silver is similar but lacks the luster in game of what I am imagining for a platinum color.

While I agree that perfect cards don't pop as they should, I'm not sure platinum is the best choice since platinum is less valuable than gold.

"Green" backs...since you have to spend a lot of greenbacks on them?

Westheim · 07-08-2019, 05:23 PM

Red? Green? Pink?

rudel.dietrich · 07-08-2019, 07:10 PM

Ruby, emerald or 'pink diamond' would also work. Just a pop of color to make them stand out a bit more.

leave them "un-metaled" right through 60, and change it to 70-79 bronze 80-89 silver, 90-99 gold, 100 diamonds.

Rubies, Tangerine crystals, graphite, there's a lot of interesting rocks/metals out there. I can't think of one right now that fits a 100 vs. a 90-99 diamond so that's why I said the other part. Just rambling.

Um...the color for perfect cards is actually obsidian.

Which is only 500 times sharper than steel.

But yeah...let's go with pink instead. Cuz reasons.

I wish I could pull an Obsidian Ring of the Zodiac... oh wait... that's a different game.

Would not mind one of these for my ace pitcher.

4-5% increased in pitch speed(which I assume increased Stuff)
4.5-6% increased in strikeout chance
Reduced resting time by 4-7%
Reduced stamina cost per pitch by 5-7%
No Durability loss(not a thing in current PT)

All in all, a solid item for a SP.

P.S. If there are freaking items in PT22, I call it first.

Man, that rings a bell.. was that Diablo? I know the big ring in Diablo 2 was the Stone of Jordan.

But yeah, they should not switch it to Platinum because it's worth bunk-all these days.

Goliathus · 07-10-2019, 11:28 AM

Good call. I was predicting Path of Exile and am wrong. And there's Stone of Jordan in D3 too, not sure if it's as useful as it is in D2 though.

As for the topic at hand, I always thought the shiny bling bling cards are for teenagers and would not be as popular in OOTP? Not sure if it's a correct move to go bling here.

The ring was a top item in Diablo. The ring was in both D2 and D3 also.

On a side note, I just started playing Diablo 1 again after all these years...GOG now sells an enhanced version.

Have you got a GPOW?

Man, Diablo 1&2 were really awesome back in the day. My first online gaming experience, really.

I couldn't wear it if I had it. I'm only level 26 and still in Normal.

Westheim · 07-10-2019, 03:06 PM

Fun fact: I never played Diablo.

There are so many cool rocks out there every number could have its own theme.

My vote is for the Pink Diamond with a Burgundy frame.
