Will it ever happen that these new crests and other accessories will actually add small stat buffs and/or resistances to the gear their applied too? Otherwise I see zero point with all these crests. Completely pointless imo.
But if say the Stunning Crest added Stun Resistance... or the Liquifier added slime damage bonus etc... Even if small they would actually add a bit to the game other than being useless ePeen +1.
Feedback: Regarding more new useless crests...
My only complaint with crests is how they end up in your inventory.
Once this hits client-side, the crests will be scattered throughout your accessories and you are going to have to hunt to find them.
Renaming them to Crest of `X' would at least keep them grouped together as a type / theme of accessory.
Accessories shouldn't get abilities - god forbid - maid headbands and barrel bellies might actually be useful.
*shudder*
Jacobey - that'd cause issues if they ever implement an Almirian Crest of some sort.
Given there are no "Almirian" accessories currently, "Crest of Almire" would be dreadfully hard to find amongst all the other crests ;)
However - this is getting in to Game Design and not test feedback.
The purpose of these crests is the same as all the other accessories, visual appeal. Also, regarding your comment about the undead logo crest, some people who have loadouts set up for combating certain types of enemies might want to have something to show the purpose of their item set. For example, with one armor setup that I've created, I have maximum beast damage on my Final Flourish, (Which as we all know, is already good against beast type monsters) so I might want a predator crest on the armor, just to help the fact that it's my perfect beast killing set.
Accesories. ACCESORIES. Those are accesories. Arent all accesories completly pointles.... but only for LOOKS? So far there were NO crest accesories. Then there was crappy proto crest. Now giving us diffrent kind of crest gives us nice opportunity to customize our look.
