DamsonRhee Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I like that you cant go from new to Warhero gear but i would like it to just require a BM piece from that Slot not a specific armor title I have a Sage and I mixed and matched pieces to the way i wanted as oppose to just getting the Default mystic or whatever type gear. I ended up getting a mix of mystic and Stalker because i like the more pieces with Surge and the look and the set bonus more than the other sets. So sometimes I bought two chest pieces and mix matched the mods to suit my need. And it was nice that i could design my gear the way i want and look (to a point) and the set bonus i wanted. But i cant buy the gear i want because i dont have the previous BM one. because i have a stalker footpiece but now i want the mystic or whatever foot piece so now i have to spend WZ comms on BM piece first than buy the WarHero And even worse which i wont complain too much but i have gloves that i felt was better to keep champion and not BM because it had surge that i couldnt replace easily (getting dual sets takes awhile) and it wasnt a big enough of a difference to constitute a need .. but now i will have to change it to BM for sure. which i dont mind but it would have been nice to take my 8 BM comms and be able to still trade it in for a piece. Which i was told pretty much by BW that i was SoL. to sum up Make WH gear require just a BM gear of that slot and not a specific Name set (i.e. Mystic, stalker set) tell me if you agree or if you are in the same boat. I just want to make my gear the way i want and not be cookie cutter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yukirshiro Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 (edited) Yeah it is pretty stupid the way they implemented it. Any BM piece of the same slot should unlock the purchase. You shouldn't have to farm a whole new set of BM if you decided to change specs based on the patch changes just to get the right set bonuses.

DamsonRhee Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 so no one else has this problem or sees this as a problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cashogy Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 agreed, i would to see this changed as well. the original champion tokens allowed you to choose any item of a specific type, war hero gear should be the same way. i dont like the stats on the war hero eliminator mainhand/offhand, and would like to be able to choose whatever weapons i prefer. i will grind the warzone comms for the BM weapons if i have to, but i would prefer to not have to do that extra step Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not afraid of doing the extra work to make my gear suit what i want. But having to do one more extra step that all uses the same comms to buy each and every piece just sounds silly Honestly i want it addressed because it just sounds like a big oversight that BW failed to see due to the not so great 1.2 pvp/endgame public testing and it seems like a simple fix Valor should have been in better control and they could have used that as a limiting gear to people who grinded it out instead of this current method Regardless please change something to fix this Forced Cookie Cutter.

wessik Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 (edited) this is how i view it: you did what you did to get the look you wanted pre 1.2, at the cost of spending more BM comms to do it... hard but it was your choice... you can still do the same thing post-1.2, but again you will have to put the little extra work into it... and by little, i mean a little... that extra BM footpiece you will have to buy? 875 comms = 7 wins + 2 dailys or 8 wins + 1 daily (obtainable in a day or 2) when you compare that to pre-1.2, either: 2 BM tokens = 2000 merc / 2000 wz comms = 8000 comms = ~100 matches played (avg 10 matches for 10 days) or 2 bags from 2 dailies, and a CHANCE to get 2 tokens (reliant on RNG) so with perspective, is life so bad now? not in my opinion...
