As you see its basically no dmg reduction at all, even with the voidbent having onyx gems.

This isn’t the first time I’ve heard of this so I decided to test it for myself. We really need an official statement from New World Devs on if this is intended? If it is then why are you ruining end game progression for PVP players? I’ve worked hard to get my armoring, smelting, weaving, tanning, and woodworking up to 200 to be able to have a chance to craft high end gear and now what is it for? PVE only? I can half way understand why yall added pvp scalling to the game so that lower level ppl can stand a chance but once you hit 60 all scaling should go away. A 60 vs another 60 should be no scalling at all imo.

Tested in outpost rush with the same results. I can only assume its the same for wars. Heres a video of the outpost rush test.

For those that dont want to watch the video here are some pictures of the damage between full voidbent with gems and crap grey t2/t3 heavy armor no gems… Lets get some attention to this.

I’m so stoked that I grinded for weeks and spent 100s of K to get 10 less damage per swing compared to garbage armor

Just tested this in outpost rush to make sure it wasnt just with dueling and it produced the same results. Added a video of the test.

Hah I’m laughing cause of the fools who no life’s the game and bought and duped gold to get voidbent and now it’s worthless :slight_smile:

I farmed mine and it actually wasn’t that hard to get. But aside from that this doesnt just affect voidbent. It affects all high end gear, dropped crafted ect.

Yeah, I noticed this too. I really hope devs addresses this soon.

Okay edgelord, cool story.

I personally see nothing wrong here. Gear advantage shouldn’t be a big factor in pvp, only your skill should matter. Guys like the OP want to grind 24/7 for OP gear that the avg person can’t get so he can sit there tanking with his GA/hammer all day long and ruin this game. AGS don’t listen to these clowns, they’re exactly the type of parasites that kill good games.
