Hello all!
This is just a simple change that will make PvP much more engaging in the SHORT run:
Make Outpost Rush give out faction credits at every win or loss and add a new tier of Faction gear (580 / 590) with voidbent-like stats.
Make the PvP more rewarding - just like old-school WoW days - sure you can get gear a bit better in PVE, but you can also get a PvP Set if you stick to PvP - kinda like the Token farm on wow to buy the “PVP set” gear (you can’t even farm the 520 set in OPR because it gives no tokens…).
The upcoming changes to OPR will surely help with its popularity, but still, the idea of having a set of gear you can get from PvP only would make those players focus instead of opening boxes to get expertise on random gear - that grind will still be there but it’s easier to go through it with a goal in mind.
Added bonuses to this change: since now PvP gives out faction tokens, even PVE players will feel inclined to do them as a much more fun way to get the weekly orbs instead of grinding the same Faction quests over and over. AND since the Faction set looks unique (maybe even color it differently for the 590 set) people will be recognized as PVPers for having it.
I think in the PTR there are faction token rewards? But maybe just on a win?
Also there’s some new legendary outpost rush pvp gear on the PTR right now. I dont have a screenshot but it’s called like “Rush ___” and I assume it has sets for all armor weights.
You’re extremely naive or haven’t been on these forums long enough. Get ready for at least 10 folks to disagree with you and for them to state it in an unconstructive manner. I wouldn’t be surprised if your post was flagged and then deleted, just because someone else doesn’t like it…
