The new almighty ring doesn't stack with the pre-wipe rewards (gold heart ring). It would be nice if it was made, so that these two rings could stack. my reasoning for this, is that: we were given the custom made gold rings, because the staff concluded that the Beta Bandana wasn't incentive enough as a compensation to all the people that played pre-wipe [up to 6 months]. Therefore it wouldn't be fair for everyone that has played pre-wipe, for this ring to stack with the new almighty ring.
Personally I feel the rings shouldn't stack. The pre wipe ring is still a better ring than the krexel one so people with that ring still have an advantage over people without one.
I would have to disagree with you here. The almighty ring has the potential to be much better than the gold heart ring, and even if the gold ring was better, I don't think it makes your point valid. The gold ring was given to players for their commitment to the server, so in my opinion it should have nothing to do with the almighty ring? Like I said in my original post, the only reason we didn't get beta bandanas instead of the ring, was because the staff wanted to give us something worth the time we lost, and to compensate us for losing our characters after a wipe. This resulted in a custom ring, so not being able to equip both rings, would potentially defeat the whole purpose of the original effort.
My personal opinion: They should stack being that the original intention of the carot ring was to reward those who had played before the wipe and it served as a compensation for the huge loss.
I disagree with you there, the pre-wipe ring has more slots and weapon attack. Which easily outclasses a ring with a few stats
Well at least we know how we came up with two different conclusions. The Gold Heart ring has no slots... so the almighty ring does overpower it.
It does not? I thought it did. My bad then! However, I still believe the rings shouldn't stack. Not untill we get some other rings in the future. Imo it's unfair for people who have played at a certain time to have unique items which give ingame benefits over someone who started later. If anything, a pre-wipe medal without stats would be nice. I do understand lots of ppl pot lots of work in their chars pre-wipe, but a lot of people now have put the same amount, if not more into their chars and are unable to get one of the best inslot items.
This is maplestory, there will always be advantages for people who have played at a certain time. Examples: Maple Scarf, Maple Event Earrings, Pilgrim hat, Gold Heart ring, pyrope maple weapons. Also, the fact that someone played when the server was less popular = cheaper prices, less boss competition = advantage. Also, the point of the ring isn't to give people who played at a certain time an advantage, it is to compensate for the months of game time that people lost. I push this forward even more, because more than half of the existing community quit after the wipe, and didn't even consider to even pick up a ring. So this ring doesn't only symbolise lost time, but loyalty. And like you said, the Almighty ring has a much larger potential than the gold-heart ring, so the gold-heart ring is no longer special, which ruins the whole purpose of implementing any type of compensation. Your medal idea is interesting, but that wasn't possible back when we wiped. Thank you very much.
Also having an NX ring above your pre-wipe ring worked for me, I just double clicked it when I got my ring so I was a bit confused to what you first meant when reading this thread
Did you try removing 3 of them, so you only had one covering your Gold Heart ring? I have 2 NX rings, one covering the pre-wipe ring and a friendship ring, which put the Almighty ring in the 3rd slot. TIL equipping rings in Royals is challenging :B
