pvp is about the challenge , the fight , not about gear . gear is for gimps pvp gear base games = fail

the OP was spot on

finally a DAOC 2 " deluxe" ,

be abble to dye the armor with all those colors that crafters do...oh wait wrong game ? never seen a game with armor so ugly LOL

11-49 its about skill , +50 its about gear , simple

game gets boring ,grind ,grind , equipment and not skill ... another one that bites the dust...

the game is so advanced that doesent even have colors to dye youre armor ( armor that his horrible btw ) ...

there is a gear gap and it will keep hurting future lev 50 players . you just have to realize you dont see rants about the lev 11-49 beeing unbalanced or unfun . lev 11-49 its about skill , lev 50 its about gear , simple

1-49 its about skill , 50 its about gear

pre level 50 its about skill , pos level 50 its about gear

11 to 49 its about skill , 50 its about gear , simple

ruin the gear , cater to the SKILLED

the first game that copy DAOC system will be sitting on a gold mine

agree , not just that all look the same but the set's are HORRIBLE ... who design them ? a 8 year old...?

take expertise out of pvp gear and put it in pvp valor level . the more valor ( pvp level ) you have the more expertise , no more problems of pve gear dominating pvp . or make it a pve stat . pvp and pve sets equal but t1 pve ,t2 pve etc progress not in stats but in expertise . that way a pvp and a pve set are equal in stats but the pve people get a incentive to get other pve tiers because they give more expertise ( that would only work against NPC's ) and make those pve sets look better for the show-off's .

should be the other way around , PVE set's should have expertise ( 10% bonus in damg\defense against NPC's ) ,and no expertise on any PVP set , problem solved...

positive , expertise its a aberration

i suport this +1

offer same gear to both , problem solved . equipment its just time , not skill , just time...

yes and restet the pvp items cost to old prices ....

take it from the pvp sets , put it on the pve sets and make it give the bonus against npc's . this way pvp is based on skill not on equipment and pve sets have a edge over pvp sets for pve , and they are equal ( pvp sets and pve sets ) when it comes to pvp . simple easy solution and much appreciated

i have played both sides , its sad but its true

just put the expertise in pve sets ( working that it gives you a bonus in pve ) and remove it from the pvp sets . make it only work against npc's . pvp its about skill not about gear ...

OP you are right , problem is most people never heard of off tanking . there are many strategies to overcome the killing of a group of mobs . tank them all and hit the floor\stress the healers , control the max of them and then kill 1 by 1 , main tank get some and hold them off tank peals some and group burns the off tank mobs down first . you dont need to have all the mobs of you to be a " good tank " , you just need to find the right strategic to the given problem taking in consideration the group ( the tools ) you have . specially in this game where the same class can preform diferent roles .

" make expertise a pve stats and eliminate it from the pvp gear ", best idea so far .
