Im not talking about harvesting set disappearing forever, or piece of stuff being downgraded (should i ?).
Im talking about armor polarization. For those who don’t know, armor vary in term of stat : some gives equal amount of elem and phys resistance (they are neutral), and some gives more phys or elem, they are polarized.
For example, all faction armor are neutral, while the heavy voidbent armor is polarized toward elemental resistance.
As of 1.0.5, there was lootable item of each type : neutral, elem pola, phys pola.
Playing a mage, and being mainly chased by GH/WH (since war are about 35 of them), i went with a full set of physical polarized armor. That’s what anyone should do in late : pick an armor type tied to your class/what deals damage to you.
I paid alot of money for some pieces. My boots are legendary 600 GS with “refreshing” and a physical polarization, i bought them at the trading post for a lot of money for this exact reason.
As of 1.1, a big undocumented change (as usual) has been done : you can no longer loot polarized armor. You can ONLY loot neutral ones, and the only polarized armor in the game are the crafted one and named one.
First, let me tell you i don’t disagree with that : that’s how it should have been from the beginning, to gives crafting an edge.
But downgrading our ALREADY EARNED STUFF ? WTF ?
My FULL set of polarized armor has been converted to neutral. My 600 GS boots are now neutral. This is insane, this is another occurence of AGS doing weird shiit to players, and it was TOTALLY UNDOCUMENTED.
This should never, NEVER happens. “Old” polarized armor are by no means better than the one you can craft, you could just obtain them throught loot, and you cannot anymore. They aren’t better by any means.
Yet you just totally tweaked our stuff because we earned it a way that is no more allowed (by looting), without ever talking about it ? Without neither telling us “be aware we will disable polarized armors from loot in 2 weeks and transform all existing pieces to neutral so take that into account when buying stuff”, neither even talking about it in the patch note.
And as for every single gamebreaking issue, you’ll either ignore it or wait 3 weeks before reacting.
Still wondering why you lose player ? 1 week to fix hatchet dealing 8k damage ? 1 week to fix FS/IG not being able to use a single spell ? And so on
This is pure madness. You are almost intentionnaly killing your game
