You know how they operate, when they let 50% of playerbase farm watermark in first 2 days to maximum and next day nerf it to 5% without global reset.
Stupid company, stupid decisions.
lmao oh my goodness 300k across two regions wow what crazy numbers its almost like any game out there has higher Minecraft beats that daily just off 12 year olds come on dude

I think I may be done just reading these patch notes. It goes to show that there is no one there who understands what is happening with their own game.
To me, it means that before these were posted, no one went:
“Wait, wait, wait, we can’t post this! This is going to monumentally backfire because we are basically deleting two months of progress. Everything crafters do and make money on is gone with a wave of a hand. We can’t possibly post this, this is suicide. Are you sure you want me to post this?”
Not one person. Nobody said this before this was posted.
That, to me, is simply astounding.

based on the dev blog you can only craft one gypsum orb a day.
so you can choose one activity once per day, to give you one slot upgrade per day.
“Note you can only craft any type of Cast, once per day”

This has nothing to do with emotions, it’s about logic.
When are your game devs going to learn that people should play your game because they want to and not because they need to? Adding new pointless layers to an already flawed system is nonsensical.
At least, in Destiny 2, my gear score was global and always improving through drops.
My advice if you guys want to keep the watermark system. Leave the gear score equivalent to what you’re wearing and raise the GLOBAL watermark constantly from all the parts you pick up.
Drops are already a lottery with all the random perks and stats, at least make them less grindy.

wait wait wait … my GS is 590 but my watermark is 500 Ive never bothered with it, I’ve gathered my shit and had it crafted to have nice 590 gear and now… acording to this my power will be reduced to 500?

Yes.
correct, that is what the devs said they will do in January
I’m 60 with 598-600 gear on a dead server idk anyone who can solo myrkguard thats why solo runs involve jumping through bridges and hiding in gaps to avoid aggro.
Yes haha isn’t it great? The devs know better than the people actually playing the game xd
That part of it reads like a mobile game to me. Not sure why they keep thinking time gates to artificially inflate how long things take are good and engaging design.
Yes.
Yes you will have to do the new watermark/expertise grind to get it back up to 590.
so, for you it is fair throwing from the window all the time people spent grinding elites, chests, etc? must be a joke
if u slept until now, its your problem not mine, if u want to do whatever u like most, its your problem not mine.
That’s it. If this update goes live not only I will immediately stop playing, it will also ensure that I’ll never ever buy a game from AGS again, no matter how promising it’s looking.
They managed to ruin all their games, but this one could really have succeeded and still has a moderate chance, if not only the whole management team would do everything imaginable to drive away the customers.
Why should I assume the next game will go different?
I am playing this game for PvP only and I invested much hated grind into crafting because I refuse to do watermark grinding. I won’t invest a single minute into pve grind, and the minute this patch goes live AGS will cease to exist for me.

I am using crafting VS HWM as an example because they are the two main paths for endgame progression when it comes to obtaining gear. PvP is a part of the HWM path. You get items that can increase your HWM in OPR.
It should be fair regardless if it affects me peronally or not.
The OP’s feedback seemed constructive enough, what are you talking about?
Perhaps you should take your own advice and offer a proper constructive response to their feedback.

Since I have become level 60 I was doing nothing else but farming Materials, leveling my crafting professions and basically nothing else.
I am at 200 Armorsmithing, 200 Arcana, 193 Jewelcrafting and 172 Engineering now.
This is how i chose to play the game. I want to be able to make all of the gear I am using myself.
I didnt participate in elite Chest Runs because that was a stupid activity for my taste.
So as you can expect my HWM is pretty low, while I am able to craft some GS 600 items.
At the end I will have GS 600 in every slot (which I crafted myself)
And this is fine. While my HWM is low (around 520) I can still have lvl 600 gear (which i crafted all by myself)
This new system will just be a total F*CKUP for me.
"[…] But starting in early 2022, it will also govern the effectiveness of your gear. This means if your War Hammer Expertise is 520, and you equip a 550 Gear Score War Hammer, the weapon’s effective Gear Score will be reduced to 520. […]"
Now I will have to do HWM Farming (i dont care if you give it any other name) because my stats will just SUCK.
I have spent HOURS, DAYS, WEEKS farming materials and pushing those professions. Which you have made EVEN MORE TIRESOME with your crafting-nerf-patch…
Now you SLAP me in the face with another nerf and make me grind HWM just so I can use the items I have spend a shitload of time to get in the first place.
Are you nuts?
If you want to give us more Content then GIVE US MORE CONTENT.
Do not try to stretch what is already there!!
This Expertise system is a TOXIC System which is FORCING players to commit to a specific activity because otherwise they CANNOT progress.

On the live game pvp have no way of increasing wm or even get gear that’s relevant. I never saw you complain about it being unfair to pvper that they have to pve or get into crafting to get gear to pvp with.
Again, you only started caring because you’re now affected by it.
Regardless, if this update goes live the way it is described, i’m sure you and all 13 remaining players playing this game will be very vocal about your watermark lvl
