Re: Moving on
What really sux about gems is the crap you have to put them in. A character in rags is more powerful then one in full stainless plate mail with the Black Dragon emblazoned on it. They screwed up in what you could put the gem in.
If you look at WoW, their gemmable items are VERY well rendered and generally hailed as just about as good as endgame gear; depending on the gem. With AoC, the gemmed items look like ass and they're overpowered. Makes no sense.
But, it's all part of tweaking the game. Remember though, WoW didnt have gems until Burning Crusade. AoC had them at release. Give them time.

Re: Moving on
I spent about 50 gold on my gemmed armor. But yeah, gemming is going to be almost pointless now. It should be overpowered, it a gem. The fact that everyone is able to get them should be no problem in my opinion, I found a lot of my gems.

Re: Moving on
While i think that funcom is going overboard in their nerfing again, as they have a tendency to do, I think the change is a good thing overall. Yes, you spent a lot of money on your gear. It sucks that it won't be as good. but a better game trumps that. And right now, with all the one shots and ridiculous scaling of melee +dmg gems, the gemmed stuff needs to be nerfed. Though i can't see why they're hitting them so hard. And the defensive stuff could stand to be buffed a bit. Invul was too powerful before, but now it's crap.
So no, while the state of gems after this nerf won't be good either, it's better than what it is now. +dmg gems are overpowered right now and there is no argument against that.Currently Playing:

Re: Moving on
don't forget about all the other stuff aoc has that I don't think any other game or mmo has done.
Real day night cycles with dynamic shadows matching the moon and sun. That's a serious feat in it's own right. To name one of the many.
Every game suffers from weird loot when they first get going. It kinda sucks but I'm not sweating it to much, they'll get it sorted out i hope. They dropped the immutable gems all to bottom levels til they work out a solution for stacking on them. It also doesn't help that you can put level 80 gems in any gear.
