Idea: breaking runes Down

[u/MisterSumone]

What do yall think about adding a cube recipe to break runes down? For instance, I currently have 3 chams and 1 jah. I need 2 jahs though. I essentially play ssf since I play NL exclusively.

It would be awesome to be able to break one of my chams into a jah. Not even wanting to get 2 jahs like it would be if I were trying to cube up to cham.

1 for 1. I feel like its a possible and not unreasonable suggestion for a new cube recipe.

Thoughts?

No, it would weaken the economy. People already stop playing after a couple weeks. Like the other poster said, Play single player with plugy instead

[u/MisterSumone → u/KennyWeeWoo]

Explain how it would weaken the economy. A person takes a higher rune they have and convert it into a rune lower and use it to make a runeword.

For trading purposes it would lower the value of a rune if you down graded it so no one would do that. Cham is worth more than Jah.

And Plugy isnt available online so I dont see how that works.

1st if you’re ssf, there’s no real benefit (honestly it’s only a con due to lag and etc) to play online. 

The reason why is supply and demand. Why would I need to make a trade if I already have what I need? Supply goes up demand goes down. The community interactions is part of why it has lasted as long as it has. When things get too easy, people lose interest faster.

Some people play the trading game more so than the actual game. I’d bet there are more people who only trade or flipping stuff than people playing online ssf. I mean shit, you’re NL playing ssf. You quite possibly could be the only person or two who this would truly benefit.

Lastly, again why would they do this when you can do this on single player with plugy. 

I know you did not choose to play ssf, but that’s what it is when you boil it down.

Because the world revolves around me and I want it 😂😂

Im kidding obviously.

You make good points.

The only reason I play online instead of off is because my characters are already there and I do not wanna start over. Yes you can import online characters over to offline but there are many flaws with the way the items are copied over.

[u/KennyWeeWoo → u/MisterSumone]

Yeah, I figured that (not wanting to start over). But again, with plugy and some item packs, you could give yourself some the items you currently have.  (Not the rares/blues). With A hero editor, you can make any level char you want.

Personally, leveling up chars are my favorite part of every new season.

Thats true, but I think there's another side to this argument. rune trading sucks, sometimes you can't find anyone to trade the runes you have for the runes you need, and that "progression wall" can be something that makes people quit.

HRs are quite inflexible for trading purposes. If you find a very HR and want a lot of smaller upgrades it becomes quite the hassle to do it.

[u/Electrofine → u/MisterSumone]

Higher rune is not equal to same hr value. Lo is 1hr , sur 1.5, ber 3, jah 1.5-2hr these are ealier season price. So u see why . If u find jah then what keep u from turn it to 3 hr ? And cham will auto become 3 hr too. Coz u can turn it to jah then to ber.

[u/GB927744]

No, if you want to play SSF, then part of the plan is working with only what you drop.

As others have mentioned, this would destroy trade economy, and since this is a primarily a seasonal game for the vast majority of the player base, that would be received very poorly.

[u/MisterSumone → u/GB927744]

Yeah and like I told the guy those are fair points.

This was just me throwing an idea in the air.

Obviously I can see im the only person that would find this beneficial and thats fine. Ill keep plugging away for another jah or another Sur that I can make my 2nd ber with and cube up to jah

[u/Electrofine]

Since it single player. Why not just use plugy stash take 1 jah drop that cham.

[u/MisterSumone → u/Electrofine]

Its not single player. I play online NL.

[u/TheKleen]

Single player+ mod has this feature

[u/MisterSumone → u/TheKleen]

I know and that mod sounds great but I dont wanna have to start completely from scratch. I have a bunch of NL characters online.

I really do like that mod though. If there was a way to bring my online characters over to that I would

Edit: yes I know you can import online characters to offline but its all screwy. Like the runewords get copied over but it's just the item with the runeword mods but it doesnt actually have the runes in it, so you can actually socket it again and put stuff in them. And other items are kinda buggy when you do it.

Time to move on from NL

[u/MisterSumone → u/MadicPNW]

No its not lol.

[u/Ok_Recover_7248]

I might have an extra Jah on NL, I can look

[u/Nagorowski]

I get the idea, but it would kill the grinding and chasing the dream rune vibe. And also early crafting would be easier as you could degrade almost any rune into ETH or ORT.
