I asked about this before but I can't find the thread. I had asked for a 1 AP option for Vincent's relic sword (the others get scads of options) and I believe the answer was maybe. I know that the group might head back there episode 4 but as I am just getting a melee Vincent to CoD I was wondering if this was a planned change and if I should hold off completing it till it is implemented?
No worries if not, I will keep trucking forward if that is the case!

I think we're focused on the relic's being 2AP or above so that they can have damage that will work for players on higher difficulties in the very late game dungeons we're developing. The relic gear needs to last all the way to the end of the game and isn't something we want retroactively adjust later. So ... I think the answer is "no" on a 1AP relic, but fallen might jump in and correct me. Needless to say, there is a GREAT melee relic option for Vincent, I know because that's my favorite Vincent build by far ... =) |

matrim - if you've been to the CoD Vincent spot before, you'll remember he promises to return there later, so I'd say, go ahead and truck on. As Cory Trese said, I don't think we are seeing a 1 AP blade for Vincent's relic in the cards.

Well I must say that is disappointing. Even Vraes has a 1 AP light blade option. I have never been lacking in damage for using 1 AP weapons. Does this mean Selen and Tamilin won't have a 1 AP option either? I am not sure why you seem to be cracking down on the 1 AP weapon option so hard, it is a strategy that at least deserves a relic option. If people take the 1 AP blade and it phases out (which I can't see happening as my 1 AP weapons do well above 50% more damage than the 2 AP counterparts) then that is something they have to live with. Right now I am living with Vincent's relic sitting in my inventory because I hit like a wet paper towel with it on.

Sorry to disappoint. We will try harder in the future. Thanks for the feedback, we will discuss this at our next meeting about Heroes.

matrim - sorry to hear that the 2 AP Relic isn't working for you. We'll revisit the relic options when Vincent has a chance to return to the City of the Dead. I really don't feel like we are "cracking down" on 1 AP weapons. In my opinion, the only issue is Vraes + 1 AP weapons, which is pretty well discussed at this point. We've sunk over 3 years and 150 updates into the game. The backlog of requests for Heroes is 600 long and growing daily. We keep trying to improve, but prioritization is an important part of our job, or the game would go nowhere.

It's fine, can't have everything I suppose. Sometimes I feel like I am playing a different game, I tried that relic on Vincent for a while and no matter how I built around it, my damage halved compared to a Tulwar from the store. You guys have made a great game and I can live without the relic. I understand that there are lots of requests with higher priority. I will keep trucking and trust that you guys will too. Thanks for the consideration.
