I honestly believe that there won't be a seasonal ring for a while. It will be replaced by something else... Market is getting flooded with rings and I believe that is one of the reasons MA removed summer boxes alltogether.
So, maybe ssomething new?
A necklace? An earring?
A new type of buff would also be possible, a new stat if you will.
some ideas;
hunter ring;
reduced weapon deterioration %, pure DPP increase where the increase in DPP is bigger the higher % of the weapon cost is decay. (not applicable to items without ammo burn)
Mining ring;
mining finder search area % increase
depth increase %
tamer ring,
pet buff effect increased by %
reduced Nutrio drain from active pet
Crafter ring;
crafting skill gained increase, similar to the crafting helmet.
I mean.. what else can we do with crafting
?
Reduced crafting time? (50% more crafts per minute? Imagine what this would do to lower cost crafts lmao
)
some new more exiting effects would be great when thinking about loot 2.0 and how the returns work. Rings increasing effectiveness in other professions than hunting would be most welcome.... and by that i mean something other than a simple "increased skill gains" effect... Not sure how to improve crafting with a ring, though....
Hell, give us some new effects on rings/earrings/neckless that
also give us a visual effect of the jewelry. Ring/Necklace/Earring of blood - 10% life steal from animals/humanoids (does not work vs robots) that also gives a visual drain of blood after each hit we make. A splash of blood that jumps from the mob, to the avatar. Because.. why the hell not? Too much fantasy-like?
These are just some quick on the top of my head ideas... of course they can be more detailed and adjusted to not be too over-powered but you get the idea, if I can come up with some ideas that I think would be interesting, I am sure Mindark can come up with some new fresh ideas as well.
Where there's a will, there's a way means
if someone really wants to do something, they will find a way to do it, even if there are things that make it hard to do.
Show us the will.
