    Just remove stats from skins period. It's annoying AF to have to carry around a closet just be able switch skins to maybe talk to an NPC for Rapport boost. I would even be cool with more temporary buff items as long as anyone could get them in the base game.

    They've just learned to put the stats on something else.
    You have to wonder though, if every last bit of stats is important in defeating the hardest content, if players can't obtain these special boosted cosmetics does it yet again mean AGS players have extra difficulty or balance issues to overcome with no relief even if willing to pay for it?

    Doubtful they'll be turning down the difficulty ....

    It is largely a non-issue in game. Even the 1% to 2% bonuses the skins naturally helpful but the way end game fights are, they will not make it or break it situations. At worst you will wipe a few more times.

    Tbh I the main reason they removed is to remove more people complaining how they are "required" to spend hundreds of dollars to be competitive. Truth is, no you don't.

    Not cosmetic if stats are involved, that is so simple I am sure they knew this.

    people here that dont actually play the game think this is good, or a better change. the best change is their fight against bots and requiring 2fa for new players.

    their roll out or lack there of, of the june update is par for the course with amazon's incompetence. meanwhile korea version just had a livestream with the devs, a huge show case of upcoming content and tons of information.

    we on the other hand got roxx saying "we will have a summer event at some time"

    korean players got this huge detailed roadmap too.
