DkSharktooth Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 (edited) @New Content Patches Do we Need New PVP Gear stats with new patches? Or Just New Skins? My Vote: Just new skins, if pvp gear stays the same, there is a grind format to it initially, then it's just collecting skins (probably cartel market or rating based). I think a larger portion of the population will be able to obtain this gear over a period of time, it is a long grind, then more people can compete and games can be more fun. /Discuss Edited July 27, 2013 by DkSharktooth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidichIorian Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 New skins please. The only reason we would need a new PvP tier is to make sure that bolster isnt making PvE gear 75 (or whatever it's going to be) better than Conq. So we basically have to grind a new set so that the PvE'ers can have what they want...while getting the expertise for free. And in a best case scenario it will maintain the same gap as we currently have between PvE 72 and Conq. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brunner_Venda Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 (edited) I just finished a whole conqueror set. The grind for it was miserable. I hope they add more dailies and weeklies so that getting the new gear isn't as much of a hassle. I'm also curious to see if the cost of this gear is remotely reasonable. (1700 ranked comms for a *********** mod is not reasonable) Edited July 28, 2013 by Brunner_Venda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axe_Faktor Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I hope they add more dailies and weeklies so that getting the new gear isn't as much of a hassle. ^This. Why only Daily plays and weekly wins? Why not a second weekly that's like 20 plays and a second daily that's 1 or 2 wins. Also, what about a stat daily/weekly? "Get over [number that I'm afraid to write out because someone will be like "pssh that's nothing n00b you suck"] points of Defense/Heal/DPS in one match." In regards to the OP, the only way I'd be OK with a whole new gear tier is if they really did add some more daily weekly quests. Otherwise keeping the rating barrier for cool skins is fine by me. I've never done rateds, so why should I get access so the same things they do? The other thing that I'd hate about a new gear tier is it would probably mean free Partisan gear sets at lv 55 were right around the corner.

wbtusmc Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 (edited) Better yet, add entirely new PvP missions. For instance, kill 5 enemies on ilum or other 'behind enemy lines' PvP quests. They could do so much with what they have. Edited July 28, 2013 by wbtusmc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zunayson Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 (edited) Kill trading It's proven people just want to get the missions done and are whining about dying in a pvp zone simple kill them dont let them get kills troll farm ????????

KhalDrogoe Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Kill Trading or Nascaring if there is a faction imbalance. The PvE'ers will have had 4 new daily mission areas added since release, whereas PvP'ers have had their daily/weekly missions reduced by half!!!

cashogy_reborn Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 id prefer new skins, but a new hamster wheel with everyone major content update is part of biowarEA's business model for the game atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DharmaPolice Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 I'm not thrilled about a new tier of gear (considering how long it took to get full Conqueror on 2 characters) but new skins are totally uninteresting. If nothing else, why would I pay to augment a new set of gear (in full) when I already have a full set of customised gear which is augmented (and looks more or less acceptable).

Technohic Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 It wouldn't be the hamster wheel they like to have with new skins as people would just get the look they want and stick with it. That and the other reason they are introducing new gear is likely to keep up with the increasing tiers of PvE gear. TBH. This game is getting closer to being GW2 as far as progression goes. Only difference will be that GW2 can actually support larger scale battles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No gear to hide behind, it's all spec and how well you move, and manage cooldowns. Now if only they could replicate the progression of the Spvp/WvWvW metas.

Thats what I am getting at is they have said their engine cannot support large scale battles here. It would be best for them to NOT try to be like GW2, because then they will be no better than 2nd best, if they even can be that. Although; the same probably could be said about them trying to be a Star Wars skinned WOW as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not work hard grinding ranked comms on my commando to get my conqueror pieces just so it would turn out that pve gear is better at pvp!!!

Raazmir Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 (edited) If they don't continually update pvp gear as well, the gap between raid lewt and pvp lewt will grow so large that pve lewt will vastly outclass anything pvp loot can provide. Realistically you need new pvp gear every time a new tier of pve loot comes out, otherwise you'll need to start doing pinnacle content for barrels/hilts Edited July 29, 2013 by Raazmir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadescythe Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 2 new ops coming with the new gear tiers. If they didn't change PvP gear, then we'd have to rely on bolster to keep us BiS and I'm not really ready to take that chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt_Beers Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Guys, this has happened before. Partisan will likely be removed (due the 2 tier system we are now using due to bolster), Conqueror will be the intro tier and whatever they are creating will be the new top tier. The itemization will be bad and it will be ugly. This isn't new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
