I just had an idea regarding set items and how maybe get rid of the problem that once you collected all parts of the set you would have outleveled them:
They could just scale up with the char level. For example, you find set piece 1 of 5 and you can wear it instantly regardless of your char level. Same goes for item 2, 3, 4 but when you equip those, you will get mods that relate to your char level you have at that time. At level 0-10 you will maybe get 1 normal mod, at level 10-20 you will get one or two better mods and at level 60 you will get the best mods.
Once you collected the whole set you will get a set bonus, which also depends on the level you have at that time. But, the sets will be final once you have all the set items. They will not get better if you level up any further, meaning if you collected all set items at level 10 you will have a rather weak set, but if you collected them at level 60, it will be awesome.
Maybe this will be a pain to implement or will not work at all but I just wanted to share this.
What do you think?
