Removing Con Gilds Should Not Kill

[jordancoles]

As I was saying in another post, the biggest noob trap that's currently in this game has to be con gildings. New players are like, "oh awesome, +20 con from this amber? That's so much health!" But what they don't realize is that if their con gear is removed from them while they are KO'd, it will lower their total HHP. If their HHP goes below zero, they will die.

Look at these boots.


To a new player, that could be a huge boost to their con. It's enticing if you are in their situation, and if you don't know about the downsides.

My suggestion: Make it so that if your con gear is removed while you're KO'd, your HP can not dip below zero. If your HP were to fall below zero, it should instead go to 1. This would allow players to still port home, and would open up con gildings to all players.

Sure, they could be bitten by a midge and die when they're back at their base, but what happens after they've ported home is on them at that point.

Con gildings are a noob trap and I've personally seen players die while being looted more than a handful of times this world and in previous worlds.

+1 to this. I'd rather that the butt kicking be why I'd die, not because someone took a ring off of you with constitution buffs & gildings. I mean, if you look at it from the view of the attacker, would you want to accidentally a murder, all because those boots were to die for?

con gild should just be converted to armor gild that has wear and can break out of a slot

Should just remove con gilds and have quests/credos still ask you to make an artifact for con for extra spice
