	So I obviously missed the event(vacation!) and am now just sort of looking over the new release. I see this "Deck of Many Curses". The wiki says: Quote: Random: You cannot affect which curse you get. And also: Quote: Permanent: They cannot be removed - except using the extremely rare Card of Curse Cleansing. Also crafting upgrades that effectively destroy the old item and create a brand new one (such as Epic Crafting) remove the curse. And then proceeds to list about 60 random effects. I am understanding this bullshit correctly?

	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.

	The curses themselves are great, stacking new type of bonus. The implementation of the curses and lack of way to remove them is what are you looking at that is indeed stupid.

	Grab life by the pussy.

Much like the GOMF if you have no control over what gets applied, and it takes a ton of work to get something useful applied... yeah. Its fucking trash.

	It's just a [very] small bonus. But, there are some benefits: 1. There's no min level 2. They stack 3. You can retry. Number 3 deserves some explanation. You can't redo a piece unless you get a cleanser. (I promise they add this to the store at some point). BUT, there are some best in slot items that are relatively easy to get multiples of to re-try: LGS bases (for tanks esp), Dino artifacts, dino weapons. Etc. You can keep trying on the base and then move your scale/fang/horn, etc. when you get a good one. It's a meh system. But, it gives the min-maxers something to grind. The curses I've got all suck for my build atm. But, I really enjoy that I got +2 the swim and water breathing on Sunken Slippers. Heh.
