[gem UI rework] Skill 'Gems' need to be re-named - Having sockets in a 'gem' is paradoxical
Purely a logical argument here I ran into my other thread.
Since gems are no longer placed in the socket but have sockets themselves we should have skills as some other items (suggestions welcome) that will look/function like cluster jewels in poe1. Applying jeweller orbs will increase the sockets visually as well, and we will no longer have the clusterfuck of support gems hovering then splattering in your inventory- they will simply have their own UI/mini inventory. my idea- Skill gem, 2x2 item, skill icon positioned on top, and support gems would create a base this gem sits on (support if you will). this could even offer a way to have mini-skill trees with minor nodes leading to your support gems in the future (more trees = better) Dernier bump le 2 févr. 2025 20:04:58

Why? Nobody would care about that and at worst ppl dislike it so why invest any dev time?
Also your real life logics obviously dont apply to magic gems in a fantasy game for all we know it just fuses in and out of the gem. Also you do ralize that probably not a single system of this game makes sense in rl logic. Last but not least i dont even see how your suggestion would be any less fantasy. Its a good easy to grasp mechanic atm no reason to change anything. Dernière édition par _N0ctus_#6387, le 2 févr. 2025 19:48:25

" What about changing the skill gems into skill RINGS, with socket for supports GEMS in it ? You could realistically get up to 10 rings on your two hands. And the actuals two ring slots could be changed into bracelets, around the wrist, that have the usual stats (but also can equip a skill jewel and support gems for the unset bracelet). |

" this sound like a UI nightmare " its not about 'logic vs fantasy' its a paradox and its not even user friendly. do you just argue here for the sake of arguing? or you are one of those ppl that could play this game with a excel sheet as the main UI? |
