They have kinda trapped themself in a corner with how incredible frustrating gearing is in this game. Any changes will piss of so many of the few remaining players.
If PvP gear was provided by the faction vendor, re-aqurring gear would be no problem. But it would probably piss of all the gold buyers with their BiS gear

Related to the 50 more attributes.
It is already hard enough to get full BIS items. There is a lot of people that has been playing from the beginning, who are still missing several pieces or don’t have any. With these changes most of those players has to start over and wont stand a chance against credit card swipers. Weapons are going to be really unbalanced.
All the work those people have put in from the start to a slap in the face.

Totally agree.
Introducing this patch would just get us back to crafting before timeless were a thing. Its just gonna be “do u want to hope for resil or right attributes” again. It would actually make timeless shard crafting completely useless.

This is the true problem of doing any balance changes like this. Its too hard to get gear. To have gear thats worth millions feel invalidated and then feeling like you have to spend millions more just to feel competitive is a huge problem and I have been saying this for a long time now. Crafting needs an overhaul if they expect people to accept changes like this or like the healing changes etc.

Yep. Ive been begging for PvP faction gear since I realized my 520 faction gear wouldnt cut it anymore.
I dont understand how you can have a competetive game with such unfairness to gearing. But I guess calling New World competetive is a joke.

With the changes that there are now significantly more perks than at release and the chance of getting a good piece of equipment is lower, as you can play the perk lottery straight away. So you will almost never be able to craft BiS gear yourself.

You can use your free stats and food to fix your stats. If split stats get more points then everyone has to use split stat or they are at a disadvantage.
I am 100% sure now that no one at AGS plays this game.

@TigerCr4ne Would you please consider (sooner and not 6 months from now) revamping crafting. These types of changes and the healing changes and things like that really make people want to quit playing mostly because gear is so hard to obtain and too expensive. Gear goes for gold cap+ for a single piece. Crafting in its current form is a disgusting waste of peoples time and materials. You guys seriously have to see this by now.

Ya and AGS is killing this game by not addressing crafting.

so from the math its 5 bonus points per piece unless weapons are scaled differently.
you would need 8 pieces of split gear to hit 550.
which is WAY more of the majority and screws up Jewelry too unless found ones start getting really saucy.
its quite the barrier to hit an extra 50.
one suggestion is to have the weapons ones weighted heavier so you would need mabye 5 total pieces to get the extra 50.
although this might not matter if split mods work for timeless shards.
its also fairly worthless for anyone that doesnt use split attributes like STR or FOC that makes zero uses out of anything that isnt STR and CON
the only hope might be that the various other attribute thresholds can some how outway the 300 grit and the damage output which i doubt.
otherwise to make use of a few points here or there the attributes need to be split up more so instead of every 50 it should be every 25 for a threshold bonus.
otherwise wasting stats for very minor buffs that dont really do anything isnt worth it.
this should be obvious before even testing it

This sounds like a balancing nightmare to be honest. Interested to see how it plays out though.
I can only hope we can craft what we actually want on the PTR this time. We cannot test properly when we are given RNG rolls from crates.
I’m all for the change!
Also I am a crafter and I still want this. They need to come back later and fix crafting so I don’t mind this change and find it healthy
I’m all in for a change after testing on PTR. People need to test on PTR and provide actual feedback. There is no point in making threads without any data points if the change is going to be good or bad.

Ngl. Everything you just said here makes me happy 
Sometimes you’ve just gotta flip the table lol. The excess of gold created from dupes and territory ownership has made it stupid hard for a regular player(regular meaning not part of some super company, doesn’t have alts, hasn’t gotten lucky with a BiS drop for a come up).
I’m sure that if they went through with these changes they will introduce split stat timeless shards eventually. Probably sooner rather than later but before they do that it’ll be funny seeing everyone (hopefully) spending all of their gold for split stat mods and such trying to get BiS split stat gear. That will be stupidly overpriced(hope that no one buys it).
Not that I believe that any of this will really happen because while 50 attribute points sounds like a lot, Str/Con, and Int/Con will still be the main war builds anyway.

Can split stat pieces include con? like Dex and Con? Or does it have to be Dex and intel?
From what it seems in the patch notes, CON is not included.
This is just plain dumb.
This makes already overpowered builds super OP.
