ID Cards (Weapon) Suggestion

[br0osh]

I think we can all agree these ID weapons (Purple Card, Pink Card, Ect) are the most overlooked uber!

1/2890108898 chance for Dropping and usefulness is 0, asthetic 0, fun to use 0, collectors 10.

I would love to see a use for these cards beside collectors value.

My suggestion is make the cards worth the fight the result of the weapon or idea could be up for debate but it could be cool if it can be useful, be able to be utilized by all classes, or it be can something fun like access to a quest.

Ideas:
-ultimate combination after you collect all ID Cards; Like From the Depth you combine them.
-Have the special like TJS so other than HUs can use a PB drain ability?
-Have a Special like SQ were it automatically freezes or Heaven punisher effect so other than RA can use it?
-Specific special depending the ID or even class or race or character that Uses the Weapon or rotating special (like an epsilon shield)

-Maybe it can be a shop based thing that after you get all the cards you can purchase something from it with the cards maybe even making each individual card worth something. Examples:
-Like pinkal card you can purchase a mother garb+ or a tech lvl 30
-Bluefull card can get a decent hit Astreon belt, ect
-Trade all cards can get you sjs , guld (like a platinum badge?)

-It can be something like kill count unsealing cards gets you an item like add tp regain to your mag (pinkal specific) or mag cell

-It can be combined with invisible guard to have an aesthetic armor that highlights the ID of the card.

-It can be a unique benefit for a specific quest like a requirement to go through a specific room - each room different based on which id card you use.

It can be pure day dream but i think we can all agree that the value of the cards proportionate to its drop rarity is absolutely ridiculous and it should be up for consideration. (its worth like 2pds!!!!!)

I would love to see what people think about it, or ideas you guys might have (i will add it to the post). Also.... please vote!

Actually they're super cheap because they all come from Coren so they're kinda easy to get.

I do miss the Ace of Spades lol but it is sort of a slope. Make one worthless outclassed uber useful and people will want it with the rest of them.

I mean it isn't like the id cards are the only worthless uber or weapon that gets outclassed by something, I mean look at Nei's Claw. Pretty sure stuff like Dancing Hitogata is another sad story.

i might be true that still a hunt in its own terms 100k a round, you have to wait a certain day for the card to be an option and you also have to endure possible doubles (probably making it trade worthy) and my suggestion would require for you to get all of them, and i mean the weapon doesnt have become a meta item like charge vulcan, it can more like a tension blaster if anything. It be a fun weapon with specific use like Gal wing.

Cant say i remember much of ace of spades (scht) and i cant say dont agree with you about about the other ubers expecially neis claw but it doesnt compare to the uselessness of the cards and compared to just 1 useless weapon its 7 [10*] useless weapons(7 [10*] ids right?).

maybe it can be a shop based thing that after you get all the cards you can purchase something from it with the cards maybe even making each individual card worth something.

I just would like to see it worth something for having such a ridiculous drop rate

Real Nei's Claw can't get outclassed if I wear it haha, Yuffie Spaceelf Nr. 1 7 ids? 10.
(well that's kinda embarrassing but besides that there has been a discussion about making id cards useful only a short time ago with no result )

Viridia
Greenill
Skyly
Bluefull
Purplenum
Pinkal
Redria
Oran
Yellowboze
Whitill....

delete them from coren's and make it so that if you collect them all you get a section id change

Ace of Spades was a card that had resta and anti range x2 that all 4 forces could use and came with Demon's as well which made s-rank demon cards worthless cause there was a 88 hit yellowbose card one out that that was like 200 points from the casino back when the casino on that server was young and had actual changing prizes. Ace of Spades was made using any section id card and Q. Booster.

FO's had some fun weapon choices. 60 hit Doombringers, 98 hit Sigurd's Staff, 88 hit Ace of Spades. Sure that stuff is gone but from the looks of it now FOs have their own mini rainbow these days as well lol.

I don't see the need to remove them from Coren's if that was to happen. I mean they are a 100,000 meseta prize so 3% chance to get one of the items of choice from that bracket and when there are 6 or so prizes usually in the way of it it would still keep them pretty hard to get all of them.

And as a bonus it keeps meseta's value from dropping. If all of the cards vanish after using them than I don't see the issue of keeping the 10 items in there as well.

Yes, I see what you mean and agree. We need to make Smartlink rarer. Perhaps we should allow section ID cards to be traded for Photon Crystals so you can get your Smartlink. Smartlink is about a trillion times more useful than ID cards are and ever will be, so it seems like a logical route. Though Smartlink doesn't look cool, so it does have one thing going against it.

I believe they slightly fixed the issue with smartlink with the new drop chart. They moved smartlink to episode 1 and made the drop rate less often. Thanks for your feedback.

I think they just need to feel a little more special aside from simply existing. Forces have much better options that are easier to find, and other classes can't even use them. They're not really supposed to be super strong, though; just relatively useable and collectable. That's why I don't think they really need to be buffed to compete with other Force ubers. However, making them all-class would enable them to be flaunted more, and make them feel a little more special - there aren't many all-class Card weapons, and the ones that do exist are kinda garbage (though if you have that event Kunai with hit, that can be pretty useful). In addition, I think that they should have their stats normalized; according to the wiki, the Whitill card has an extra six ATA, and Yellowboze card has ten less ATA than all the other cards. Either make them all 40 or bring them all up to 45 or 46.

If you really want to make them better after that, just give them a special - nothing too good, but something nice and useable for any character. Blizzard? Gush? HP and/or TP regen? I'd say Zalure but that'd be broken. One could go the route of giving them all different specials, but then you run into the issue of some cards being more useful than others and I think avoiding that is for the best. It's already bad enough that some IDs have significantly harder hunts for their card. Yellowboze has a rather rough droprate from Deldepths of all things, and gets the shittiest ATA stat on their card for their trouble.
