As someone who likes PVP and doesn’t care about cosmetics, I disagree.
This would massively de-incentivize me to actually do PVP. I do open world PVP for the fun of it as well as the gear provides the resilient perk. While some weapons have Keen, Vicious, Enchanted.
They could easily make a reward system attached to it with monthly/weekly/daily PvP & PvE missions that are somewhat difficult to complete. Think of Destiny 2 and their system. It works and it keeps you logging in to do your dailies, your weekly’s and monthly’s.
PvP
Weekly Mission:
Win 10 OPR’s
Reward:
Bundle of 10 Timeless shards (your choice)
OR
1 item of guaranteed to have 600 GS (your choice)
Daily Mission:
win 3 3v3 Arena Duels.
Reward:
Gypsum Orb
OR
Crate containing PvP craft mods. (your choice)
PvE
Weekly Mission:
Complete 5 mutation (x) (The mission would be based on current Codex’s for the current rotation of mutations.)
Reward:
Bundle of 10 Timeless Shards (your choice)
OR
1 item guaranteed to be 600 GS (your choie)
Daily Mission:
Complete 2 PvE Arena’s
Reward:
Gypsum orb
OR
Crate containing craft mods. (Pick Perk Label category of mods for an RNG crate)
How would adding tmogs make u not want to play ? It’s adding to the vendor not removing said gear . Besides if ur an avid pvper none of that gear even benefits you at 60 ? So like why not add more stuff for the vendor that’s completely optional content .
How about they add a new store where you can buy the crafting mods from the PvP-Track for salt and random gear pieces like it is done in diablo 3 with blood shards?
I honestly don‘t see your point. The current Faction Gear is completely useless as it‘s incredibly easy to get Gear with better perks and most importantly a higher GS. Nobody in their right mind is grinding for 525 GS Items just to get resilient gear.
If Faction Gear was 590+ Gearscore with a good perk combination however, it would instantly invalidate a big portion of the game that involves acquiring decent gear, crafting etc.
If you want to do Open World PvP while leveling, I‘m fine if they leave lower GS items in the Faction Store as those items quickly become irrelevant anyways in the longterm. But for Endgame players I think the faction store should exclusively offer cosmetics and vanity items instead. These items could also be used as an excellent goldsink that is desperately needed in the game.
My point with the original post is how the Faction Gear is overpriced and considered useless by many. Therefore, the request is to make the gear better.
And i’m not talking about end game items. Many people including myself like to get the Faction gear while leveling so they don’t have to waste their coin while also being incentivized and rewarding for open world PVP.
But in regards to end game. Yes, they should also add features to make the Faction Currency more important too.
well it should be all about exclusive cosmetics because thats the point of joining factions is to have content to grind for hence why i said optional content for you you dont have to use tokens for tmog while others would like to . its not stopping you from doing what you want just dont buy the items then good lord .
Thanks for your suggestions regarding the Faction Vendor. I appreciate everyone contributing and chiming in on your discussion. I will forward all feedback to the Dev team to review.
faction vendor is dirt. The writs, expertise gypsum orbs, runes of holding and blight/corruption potions are the only things that matter. Everything else could be deleted and nobody would bat an eye.
