Devs - Strength requirement 125 on many new items?

[Goldberg-Chessy]

Many items (armor and weapons) are showing a strength requirement of 125 for a short while and then reverting back to normal strength requirement

  [*]The following negative item properties can now be found on magic items:
  
  
  

  • Brittle – Cannot have powder of fortification applied to the item
    
    
  • Prized – Item insurance cost is increased, cannot be blessed
    
    
  • Massive – Increased strength requirement
    
    
  • Unwieldy – Increased item weight
    
    
  • Cursed – Cannot be insured or blessed
    
    
  • Antique – Increased durability loss, can be powdered 3 times. Each powder will reduce max durability to 250, 200, and 150 respectively. Can be repaired.

So I'm guessing the 125 str is the new massive property. I've seen items weight 50 stones, so that must be the unwieldy property. But personally I think both of those are going too far in strength and weight penalties. I'm hoping they'll adjust it.

would you rather it be "cannot be repaired, brittle, or cursed" ?

this is a much more useable negative and its fine.

what would be a problem is if Goldberg is right and drops that are supposed to have the negative property of 125 str are coming out clean.

He's saying it spawns with 125 requirement then changes back to (I'm assuming) a lower requirement. Sounds like a bug to me.

What's Wrong with Brittle? It spawns with 255 Durability and simply means you cannot powder it... So in other words it acts exactly like an IMBUED item with 255 Durability.. aka will last just as long as all the imbued gear which is VERY long time imo...

Keep in mind they can track all brittle items later to lower their durability according to feedback.
