Cheap 590 resilient + one blanket perk - faction gear. That doesn’t get downscaled by expertise. Nobody uses sub-590 gear anyways.
Can’t be upgraded. So it doesn’t negate all 590+ gear.
Although it would negate 590 gear with that secondary chosen perk.
This has been said how many times, but it seems like no one listens.
I mean, a day or two’s worth of faction quests cheap. Not an arm and leg in tokens.
So returning players or new 60s can step into arenas and OPR and not get completely squashed while they build their build.
Faction gear hasn’t been touched since launch. It’s due an upgrade.
I do think the faction rewards at level 60 and 600 GS are a bit lacking. I have never needed to buy anything from the faction vendor except runes of holding, conversion doohickies, and gypsium orbs.
ya, it seems to me like the sets should be 600 GS, have the necessary resilient perk. Basically allow folks to get into pvp and be more useful than a mobile target dummy.
It would also help to educate the returning player what stats are necessary on gear to not get 1 shot.
If PVP is about the fun, and not the reward, then PVPers should have no issue with players being able to obtain easy pvp gear. Good enough to be competitive, but not BIS.
Sound great and they could easily done it already but I guess they don’t want to because they see things differently. People will start whining about pve gear and why pvp guys get this shortcut since most of them are members of ridiculously rich companies that mess up their town buffs and so on. Sounds ridiculous but people gonna twist that good idea and complain about it
I agree all the way. Idk why they still havent done this as it was mentioned so many times before on the forums.
My best (optimistic) guess is they are saving it as a part of a complex faction system fix and it will be added with a new rank to grind for or as a part of something different altogether. Just need to wait and see.
Yeah that is one of those quality of life changes that can keep a returning player.
Yep. This should be added if expertise downscaling stays in game. Returning players should be able to get usable pvp gear same day they come back to the game to test pvp. So faction 590 (resilient + freedom/refreshing) would be nice to have.
Faction tokens…everyone has them, even players who haven’t touched the game in months would still be capped.
It’s the perfect vendor to introduce new content to older players (even though I’m opposed to accelerators, I sure do agree with entry level)
Other than that, I think cosmetic skins and furniture fitting the theme of the faction. Make you and your homes more…Syndicate-ish. But the gold for sure if offering faction PvP gear at the new 60 re-intro…590 gear, not 500 gear!
