I currently have like 6 armor sets in rotation this shit is killing me.
Ya I’m tired of killing AI. Oooo they have mutations oooo; who gives a shet. End game is war, and OPR is level 60. Give us more pvp for your pvp game you turned into a PVE copy-cat of other mmos
625 gear is not to be available for everyone.
Obviously, farming these shards takes time and so they are meant for a really good gear.
Get your GS to 590, go grind (Lazarus, hello?) and upgrade that.
Okay, you’re quite clearly not going to have a constructive conversation about this but I will express my point regardless. I am FINE with invalidating ALL gear and having a new increase. However, they are not invalidating ALL gear. They are invalidating any gear below 600. This cherry-pick is what annoys me. The crafting is RNG enough as it is but for example, my 599 health and divine amulet I crafted is not eligible for an upgrade but if it was 1 GS higher and had an awful third perk like armor crafting quality then it could be upgraded? This is what annoys me, not that I need to get new gear.
You cannot upgrade anything that isn’t a 600 legendary. This is what people are annoyed at. I have had my expertise to 590 for weeks now but have only got a few decent legendaries NONE of which are for the class I actually play. To add to that, I don’t even think there is a single BIS farmable ice gauntlet in the game…
I would prefer the Umbral shards allowing you to upgrade any piece at any GS, but with it being a small nudge up (5-10 GS per umbral shard) you would have to be either intensely devoted with a piece, or logically avoid lower GS items (unless they’re really potentially good) and just hit higher GS items in order to hit 600 faster. Just my thoughts on it, since it requires the user to already go through harder mutagen expeditions.
Imo this new system should start at 590 as it’s the current highest expertise level, I think this would address anyone who rolled slightly under 600gs without just giving every player with any purple gear the chance to upgrade it, most players should have around 590+ GS items slotted by now, can even get cheap ones from the tp… can craft 595 minimum if you find a crafter with all the trophies, buffs etc, so it shouldn’t be too hard to get, ags really should change it to this tho… as only allowing 600gs to be upgraded is gonna cuck many of their player base, and further alienate players who can’t play as much or afford as many rolls and chances to get bis gear, when comparing to the larger companies who have many funds…
Fix tax revenue and desync and other bugs before you increase the GS.
AGS - Stop catering to the 1% who are maxed bis territory owners. How about you include the vast player base. Who I guarantee do NOT have max expertise or even close to bis.
Stop feeding the fucking 1% who are already rich as fuck from the coin you fed them… This is bullshit.
Their notes specifically say 625 will give you an advantage in pvp. You can only upgrade 600.
Stop lying. Upgrading gear makes it boe. You even listed the wrong bloody star wars movie for the quote
You guys are REALLY over estimating what 30gs means. Also you only gain +1 attribute on a single attribute piece 625v600.
you need to re-read the notes if you think you can buy 625. you can buy 600, but ull need to get umbrals ur self to push the gear to 625 as both become bounded when you acquire the umbral and push the gear.
The Ents are waking up AGS. You fucked the majority of the player base with tax revenue. I for one want an apology and tax refund.
Congratulations! 
The attributes will be minimal. The armor might be moderate. But what really matters is their PvP formula. Right now, you’ll take between 1-2% more damage with 580 armor over 600 armor. You will also do less damage with a sub-600 weapon because your weapon’s gear score is used in the damage calculation for PvP. The patch notes said they are changing the PvP formula again, so who knows….
Simply you can’t.
Right now should be quite obvious for everyone what this game is and what will be.
We had Alpha, Beta, officiale statements, few patches and devblogs and every single phrase, every single action push on that direction: PVP AND PVE ARE STRICTLY BOUND and they’re in the strongest way that you can imagine.
It doesn’t matter what active community ask and/or suggest, this is what they think people want/need.
Are you looking for a decent PVP game? This isn’t not (and will not be) your game, SIMPLY AND CLEAR.
Numbers are pretty simple to understand and the only thing that let this game have roughly 80-100k peak concurrent players (to check how many are bots…) is that there’s nothing new to play…till February.
Deal with it and stop trying to find a reason or a different future.
I still see people running around with 550 blue weapons in OPR and getting kills. AGS, dont spoon feed your players everything or they will whine about not having more things to do. Keep things the way you have them…
It’s not spoon feeding people anything, it’s making the ground fair for all. No one knew you would only be able to upgrade 600 gear and not 599 gear when they bought it. You should be able to upgrade all gear or not upgrade any old gear, but they shouldn’t arbitrarily choose some gear which you can upgrade and some which you can’t.
get wrecked.
Thanks for showing your immaturity lol.
Mutations is considered and quite literally, new content. Look at path of exile, mythic dungeons, greater rifts, etc…
Also, I’m pretty sure there are 6 new dungeons releasing in January as well. Maybe they are pushing it back to February patch since they are taking the whole “longer PTR cycles” approach, but I digress…
