How to Fix Movespeed on Boots
|
How about making movement speed as a reward (permanent stats) in progressing the campaign like as a reward after killing the Act Bosses similar to other permanent stats (resist, spirits)?
From the start we have 5% movement speed, and then we can get an additional 5% per act bosses. After killing boss of act1 = 10% ms, act2 = 15% ms, act3 = 20%... act6 = 35%. For other "faster" classes, they can add 5% ms in Ascendancy. This way, we can remove the BiS movement speed in boots, and yet still keep the movement speed as part of character progression (instead of just giving flat ms on all levels). Easy to scale & balance, they can make it +3% instead of +5% per act, if they decide to slow down the game. They can also continue the + movement speed as a reward in Maps progression if they want to. "A game IS supposed to waste your time but it's not supposed to make you FEEL like you're wasting your time:
It's supposed to make you WANT to waste your time." |

I don't have a problem with a move speed quest reward, but reworking how movespeed works on boots is probably better than just getting 10-20% through campaign and entirely homogenizing it with little real effort otherwise on our part as the player.

If memory serves in the past GGG would consider changing something if it was oppressive -- I.E. if you had no choice but to do X or you were obviously doing things wrong.
While the above is GGG's rule of thumb apparently it's fine though for there to be a mod on boots [move speed] that is so good that ignoring that mod basically means that you're doing everything wrong. FYI: To "fix" the issue I would have an "enchantment" on boots that they have increased move speed based on the level of the item itself AND if the boots are basic, advanced, or expert tier [similar to body armor types]. In addition adding a node / keystone to the tree that would allow heavy armor users to ignore move speed penalties wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing. |

" Can also add more movement speed on more sources. Unique boots without movement speed are doa. |

I wouldn't mind slow movement speed as much if mobs weren't on crack and sonic-fast for some reason. Instantly surrounding you as soon as they notice you from offscreen.
Why is it necessary for most mobs to be ridiculously fast, much faster than the player? |
