I fucking hate how quickly they abandaned this system. Literally nobody even rolls on Schism shards when they are put up for roll these days LMAO.
                   

And now they slight nerf the upgraded weapons because their min level went down when upgraded.  Ya, know, a bonus.  But ssg EVERYTHING must conform to their latest greatest theory of gaming.  And BAM! they knock it down a bit because W values scale with level.

Nevermind how raid loot was custom crafted bullshit they always told us.

I never did get enough schism shards to make a thing. Another thing I don't mind missing out on now that its been nerfed.
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

One bad crafting system (and other "systems") for each Dev looking to pad their resume and get the hell out of Needham, MA.


Yeah, but how many of them have actually left for more gainful employment?

It's hard to say. I'd wager more than half of them never posted on the forums and thus, were almost completely unknown to us.

I've got 15 Schism shards just rotting in my bank. This is after I used 15 more Schisms to make a Soulrazor, a Reflection of Blackrazor, and a Reflection of Whelm. I use none of these weapons anymore, but I was hoping this system would be extended further.  I can see that it won't be.

Yeah same. The concept seemed so great - give non-raiders a chance to obtain raid-level gear. Then itall fell apar when they put the schism shards inside a raid. It could have been salvaged by simply continuing to expand the system. But then they didn't.

If they were coder/designers, they could be working in the non-video game field where the "I designed this crafting system" boast looks a lot better.

There was a guy called cocomojobo (or something like that) who had the title of VP who jumped ship before IOD came. He was actually a techie who did pad his resume and probably got a better job during the "great tech shortage during pandemic" era.

Like every group, there are schlubs and there are stars, and a lot in between. Pick your cause and I can say the same thing about the associated group.
