[Immortal Items] To people having “malfuctioning” Kinetic Gems – read before posting

I`ve seen numerous reports from players claiming that they can’t transfer spell effects from Immortal items to other ones by transferring the Kinetic Gem. Some users including myself have replied in some threads about this case, but it seems it will be better to have this separate thread that, I hope, people will read before creating a thread.

Reminder: Kinetic Gems change the animations on heroes. Gems that change the particle effects (spell effects) on heroes are called Mastery Gems. So far the only Mastery Gem and thus the only transferable spell effect present in the game is Northlight Illuminance for KotL.

So for the new Immortal items, Kinetic Gems only contain custom animations, and not spell effects. Since they don’t have Mastery Gems, the particle effects of the Immortal items can’t be transfered to any other item.

Therefore, if you transferred the Kinetic Gem from the Immortal item to another item, and ended up with new animations without custom spell effects, it’s working as intended. However, if the transferred gem doesn’t change animations, then this is a bug and should be reported (Note: Kinetic gems are hero-specific. You can’t make Tinker’s gem work on Sniper, for example).

Interactions between two Kinetic Gems in one item are not related to this issue – go ahead and report them.

If this is the case why don’t the new immortal items have the so called Mastery Gems so that we can move them to a different item?

I just sold my sniper gun already. so are you telling me now they are going to add those gems too? fffuck I hope they add it to items that have the muh sheen gun kinetic gem so I don’t have to waste my time trading for it.

My guess is they want keep these items somewhat worthy of their status as unique TI4 items. What’s the point of making these items as rewards if people would just extract the gems, move them to other items and get rid of the original item? If that was the intention they could just as well put Master Gems as compendium rewards.

Why even have the gems in the first place though if all of the effects are bound to the immortal item itself.

Not all of them – custom animations of these items are bound to Kinetic Gems and can be moved to other items.

Personally I think the whole gem system is one big clusterf! ck, and the best we can do is to help people learn about the gems to avoid confusion in future.

As I understand it, this gem will not change the animation Crystal Nova on the other item

The only thing different about the animation on the kinetic gem is that she doesn’t hold her bow forward while running with Windrun. That is so incredibly minor I don’t see how it’s worth making a gem for it. They should have just made a gem for the afterimage technique. If people wanted to get nitpicking, they could then complain about the bow not being held the same way and ask for a kinetic gem to be released or whatever. But at least then you wouldn’t get so many people disappointed. Last year’s Immortal items were so much better than these. They actually looked great. These are ugly and make me think that definitely this year and next year’s compendium are not going to be worth it. Why level up to get a lot of awesome items only to be disappointed that you can’t transfer special gems over to any of them? That 10 dollars on that compendium goes towards some ugly items with awesome effects that can’t even be transferred. It’s basically garbage.
