Well since you are removing Haze Bomb from the 1* line and moving it to a 2* line, then why even have a 1* line? Any and all weapons/armor that can reach 5* level start as 2*. Why not shift all current weapons/armor down one star level and adjust cost as well. Thus the following:

1* - 50 CE - 400 CR
2* - 200 CE - 1000 CR
3* - 400 CE - 2500 CR
4* - 800 CE - 5000 CR

All 1* items stays as 1* and everything else will move. Of course you'd have to change requirement to gain access to T2 and T3 but that is a minor change as well. And later when you release the core you can release a full score of 5* weapons for our upgrading pleasure.

From what I can tell, he is

From what I can tell, he is requesting that all current 1-star equipment are either rendered 0-star or 2-star. Then he request that all current star levels are brought 1-star down, and have the following costs ascribed to them for crafting (in conjunction with the materials I presume).

For example: a current 2-star item would be a 1-star item with the same costs as if it was a current 2-star item, in Myou's proposal.
The same would be of 3-star items becoming 2-star items.

As for the current 1-star items, they would either become current 2-star items, or become current (as well as proposed) 0-star items.

This suggestion basically eliminates current 1-star items and replaces them with current 2-star items as the new 1-star items.

Sorry if this sounds complicated, but I think this pretty sums up the OP's suggestion. Right, Myou?

The use of the other lines

The use of the other lines that start at one star is for costume gear.

@eternity08

Youre exactly correct.

I mean if you look through the lists we have 4 helmet, 4 armor, 3 bombs, 4 guns, and 7 swords that never make it past 2* or 3*. So why even have them.

Heck if they wanted to keep those few current 1* items then keep them, adjust their stats to be equal to "current" 2* items and reset everything...I mean heck why have certain gear if the ENTIRE player base is going to over look it and never use it outside of being bored.

So...

0-star would be like, costumes? Right?

The main problem with this would be the implementation of this suggestion. Think about it.

True...

True... the implementation would take some time on OOO's part, not any longer then a few days to rewrite or even just do a find and replace in the database code for the weapons/armor/helmets. I'm not asking for any graphical change, or even really any statical changes of the items. Just a minor change that they are already sorta doing with the new Haze bomb change. And they have already changed CE & CR prices on equipment once so it cant be that difficult to make the change again.

Over all it would have little to no impact on the player base either as nothing has really changed except a lower star rating on items but they have the same killing factor.
