Today's gear has always been easy to choose. Yeah, if you're preparing for Firestorm Citadel, yeah, most people get the Vog. I'm totally not with this. Not that I don't like Vog, but it's the easiest to choose from out of all the other possible choices. The same thing goes with the DA.
So this is want I want today's gear to be. I want it to be hard to choose from 2 or more swords, guns, bombs and armour. For example, say we had the famous DA, we all know it's special attack right? Ok, then there is a new weapon, called Heavenly Rain. They both deal elemental damage. DA can do up to 600 damage with the special. The Heavenly Rain's special is a jabbing motion with a slightly larger area of damage than the blade. By now, you'd choose the DA because of it's large Area of Damage, but, the Heavenly Rain deals up to 800 damage for it's special. So now which one are you going to choose? Either go with the DA's large special attack or the Heavenly Rain's massive damage output.
See what I mean? With this, you won't be seeing 5* people with Vog, Grey Owlite and DA and Shivermist, AP, etc. I also want everyone to look as different as they can. Yeah, you're obviously going to see someone with Vog on if you decide to make Vog, but it would get slightly more uncommon.
Post your ideas.
I think it's fair to say that more equipment variety generally would be welcomed, but such things take time. I'm sure we'll see some new gear eventually.
