“Honestly most people with 600 GS items are pretty close to 600 GS WM’s already.”
That’s just not true, which is why people are mad.
How was it lame? Why should AGS dictate that I HAVE to do pve content to have viable gear? Why even introduce crafting if it’s largely useless? We were sold a game that’s supposed to be largely PVP and this change FORCES people to grind pve content. My entire group of friends don’t like pve content so this change will make us all leave.

Wonder if they’ll ‘attempt’ to reimburse people that already paid and screw that up again.
That’s probably good feedback to increase the expertise we get per day . As an artificial timesink is just lazy development and penalizes players for being active setting a minimum time of 90 days to reach 600 "expertise " is a very glaring flaw
But I don’t see where you got this information was it on test?
Actually they did the opposite they added hwm to PvP content
This seems like a good topic for a thread . Besides the I hate change cause it change threads
Yup and 100% they will ignore all our feedback and release the PTR exactly how these patch notes read, just like they did last time. But with a few hidden bugs that break the game.
Instead of working on new content, they are making the grind worse. In an attempt to block out new players or those who don’t play 24/7
they explain you can only make one gypsum orb per day, you can’t farm extra gypsum shards.
the only unknowns are
will HWM transfer to expertise
how much GS bump will you get from activities now
They only renamed HWM to expertise. There’s no “transfer”
Honestly don’t really see the problem with this… really doesn’t take long to get your GS up at this point.
I quite playing awhile ago but I’ve been following the news. This new stuff just makes me want to stay far away and delete these forums from my browser favorites.

they say here expertise is a new system.
HWM determines your drop pool with a ±
expertise determines your actual gear score and maximum drop level
HWM never effected your GS before. HWM also never reached level 600, max HWM is 591 Expertise must reach 600, these numbers must be transfered or not transfered.
its not a Rename, its a different system
Yeah I’d don’t feel that an artificial Time lock helps anyone . The casuals who play in Burst will be penalized by This .
Definitely something that shouldn’t be limited to 10 GS when you have to advance slots.
They must have edited it. I read it when it was posted and there was a line that said they renamed HWM to expertise. The text looks different now
they said that in the website, but the dev blog offers a lot more information and is more accurate.
the web page reads more like marketing info
Don’t forget the 20 something changes to the game they’ll also include in the patch without including them in the patch notes as usual for you to discover yourself, often to the player’s disadvantage. Congratulations

Tbh I think they are just making the game what is suppose to be. The game on launch was not ready and way to easy.
I am not saying they are making it fun.
Congratulations!
Sounds good to me, no more gold buyer hahahahahahaha
I agree with people that these changes would have been good on launch prior to anyone hitting 60. Nerfing is one thing, but I’ve never played a game, MMO or otherwise, that literally invalidated and reverse power crept their player base from months of progression.
