Wow, I did not catch that in the notes. Thats a horrible change made to make sure every single person that wants more powerful equipment actually grinds it out. I don’t mind the grind if its fun but if its more of the same crap we already have then fuck that.

So, the gear I bought after grinding out the coin to buy stronger gear then my HWM is going to be negated? I’m getting tired now.

Way to go devs! You listened to feedback so well that you’re making the game worse with every patch! Thanks for the heads up — now I know it’s not worth waiting for you guys to fix the game, because apparently you only know how to make it worse…

I skimmed past this but this just breaks the market.
The only value selling high GS items now will be for minmaxing best in slot gear between other elite players.

It might be more fair if they started everyone off at 500 “expertise” with this patch. But of course they won’t do that.

Why do people STILL believe that they are ever gonna make good changes…?
Do yourself a favor people who keeps getting disappointed in an expected way, take a break from the game like i did 2 weeks ago at 670 hrs of gameplay, for a couple of days. AND you will realize how much better it is to just watch the forum storm while the developers keep fucking up the game.
Did they lisent last PTR to feedback,no. So why would they now?
Just enjoy the forum lavine occasionally.

I chuckled when I saw that. Gotta love how instead of making the game more enjoyable they are yet again nerfing something for those people who didn’t get to the top while there was a way. Tough luck if you didn’t grind the trade skills to 200 in the first weeks, tough luck if you didn’t grind Myrk before the previous patch, tough luck if you didn’t reach level 60 before 1.05.
As has been discussed before those who cheated, exploited, bought the game on day one or played insane amounts of time are fine. Everyone else - we’re sorry.
Also what’s the point in crafting high level gear now if majority of people won’t be able to fully utilise it?

You have to be f’ing kidding me. Knowing them this will 100% apply to crafting. Imagine grinding crafting to 200, using legendary and epic materials to make a 600 GS weapon and have it’s power reverted to your watermark of like 524?
Bad enough that I’m certain there are people who spent tens of thousands of gold on 600 GS gear which will get obliterated with this patch change.
I’m usually pretty level headed but I’ve seriously never seen, in my 17 years of playing MMOs, a game company that semeed to actively want to punish their own players.

We don’t have info yet on this right? If this will start on 500 or your current HWM
Yep, people running around with full duped voidbent, duped trophies and maxed WM and crafting at this point because of the advantages they got and instead of investigating and banning, AGS would rather create classes of players I guess, the elite and the peasants.

This is effectively how I got myself to 60 ez was buying gear OF MY GEARSCORE range to do content quicker as I leveled rather than relying on my drops. So it doesn’t change much for the leveling experience part of the game.
This does block people at 60 from using the best gear right away which adds a reason to sell gear in the 500-600 range now on TP tho.

I think this swap is good current players can get GS by the end of the year. It seems to me that this change is just so that when a new tl weapon comes out you have to make some effort and not click craft and it’s done.

That is foolish. They seem to want a PvP game but if you force leveling and new players to have to do a long amount of PvE…
You have a PvE game, and a so-so one atm. This game should speed up gear progression, the sell is owning land, war, open-world PvP, etc…
Basically, why have level 60 when you have to do the equivalent of leveling to 80?

This is just becoming ridiculous now. Honestly.

What I also find funny is that they are hell bent on getting people to play dungeons yet to do that you need a high gear score equipment. I’ve not finished the level 55 dungeon yet because we were too weak even at level 60 but I’m somehow expected to run Lazarus with a 520 expertise.

Is there a world record for rebuilding systems they’re going for or something?
