Umbral Shards just invalided ALL <600 items

Kind of irrelevant don’t you think? I’m 60% sure you need GS 600 to enter mutation dungeons, that is why they bumped everyone on the PTR to GS 600.

The main source to get the upgrade resource (Umbral shards) is from mutations … So this content is strictly for end game players who have reached such watermark…

So essentially, this is a moot point… It’s literally the same argument as a lvl 25 player saying “omg I didn’t know I had to be level 60 to get into these dungeons when I bought the game”

Most far reaching analogy ever, no pun intended… “I didn’t know THESE changes were coming when I bought the game” lmao… jesus honestly…

Have you considered the fact that they SHOULDNT let you upgrade your gear? You are lucky you were able to buy a 599 piece and afford it, because your server economy has such deflation… You literally didn’t work at all, to be able to create such an item (as you stated, purchased)… You were already getting better gear than what you literally had worked for in the game, as evidenced by the fact you didn’t already have such a drop and didn’t craft it yourself…

TL:DR They remove your ability to right click gear and you are still in the same position you are now, unable to get 625 gear bc ur not there yet…

I mean, even if I put myself in your shoes, and think the same way you do and adopt your logic. I still bought the 599 item and not the 600 - for probably multiple reasons which are aligned with “not there yet”… More than likely, you couldnt afford or didn’t wanna afford the 50k-500k on the piece (depending on server) So basically, I got what I paid for, a 4-15k 599 ring that cant be upgraded because I didn’t even want to upgrade it myself to begin with, by paying an extra 40k for the 3rd perk…literally…

You are literally complaining (in my mind) at amazon devs, for not letting you upgrading your gear, when you yourself CHOSE to NOT upgrade it when you have the chance…

Edit: Man the more I think about it, letting you upgrade a plebian sub 600 GS piece is preposterous… I would be okay if they didn’t let me into a mutation because my gear wasnt 100% 600 GS… this is end-game shit… not some easily achievable crap

It’s actually insane how people defend this nonsense :joy:

64

I think there is a line between defending and just straight calling people out on their cry-dumb-logic…

I personally don’t feel like I defend amazon in any way by shutting down and replying to user comments here… I feel like amazon should have waited at least an entire YEAR before they released this incomplete hunk of a game which the same guy who calls it a pile of shit for 10 reason can turn around and call it a hidden gem best game ever for a separate 10 reasons…

If you wanna be able to upgrade your gear, fork up for that 600 piece… Or fork up the 3 major trophies on the 3 houses with the food buff and the 200 armoring with the full set for a 20% chance at the 600 leggo piece…

Otherwise shut up and achieve the ability, by your cumulative casual level gameplay… Or become a sweat lord no life as stated above…

Some1 above said “needs to be fair for everybody”… can’t find the quote… Shit like that is so obscene… You shouldn’t be as powerful as the guy who spent 1k hours w no job and no life grinding his BIS w.e the fuck 600 piece… we may not like it but that’s the truth…

Its not the same argument at all you just aren’t understanding what is being said. The 599 GS piece is better than the 600 GS piece in tons of cases. That is the point. Just because the item is 600 GS doesn’t make it anymore “end game” than the 599 piece. This is a common misconception among newer players who haven’t optimized their gear. The fact that you think 600 GS is always better than lower GS items shows me you really don’t know what you are talking about here, the value of an item is the combination of attrbiutes/perks, not the GS lmao. This is my whole point, I can go buy some trash 600 GS set for 2k gold if I want, it doesn’t mean I am end game, and certainly doesn’t mean its better than other pieces.

This has nothing to do with end game shit, it has everything to do with PVP and being behind other people for information that wasn’t known at the purchase. Also you don’t know what gear I have or how I obtained it so I would stop making assumptions, I am just complaining about a horrible change when I see one. This is the equivalent of some game dropping a large expansion and letting some players upgrade their gear and others have to throws theirs away and re-farm it to stay competitive based on some arbitrary value on the gear that isn’t related to worth, rarity, or “end game”.

Needs to be fair for everybody doesn’t mean that everyone should get the same outcome regardless of effort, it means everyone should have the same opportunity, but yeah go ahead and keep straw-manning my argument. Obviously people who put in more effort will have better gear on average. That was the whole point, 600 GS doesn’t mean better in any way shape or form, I know tons of sweat lords who have spent hundreds of thousands of gold on armor sets that are not 600. The rules of the game shouldn’t be rewritten after people have grinded for, spent their coins, and obtained items.

what are you even replying about

thing is it was in the early stages but devs are ruining it :upside_down_face:

67

Ah I didn’t realize this was 2023 when an expansion would be reasonable for New World. I thought we were still in January of 2022, four months after the release of the game and barely more than one month after this dev team already received massive backlash for attempting to retroactively invalidate the choices of the playerbase. Also didn’t realize we were getting an entire expansion with this patch rather than a small modification to existing systems.

68

If 600 GS items will be upgradable to 625, I think it’s fair for 595 items to be upgradable to 600 too. Otherwise, as stated, these items that are marginally worse than their 600 GS counterparts become worthless.

69

Guess there is going to be new merges in february :joy:

70

Hey, I like the change. There will be people who don’t like it and that just sucks for them. People like me who have everrything at 600, now have something to do.

71

Laughs in argonian

72

From all the dumb comments I’ve read on the forums today, this is the clear winner.

73

Yes, please let us upgrade and have a chance to roll crafted purples up to legendary as well @ 600.

74

It was good (concept) only on Preview/Pre-Alpha.
Anything after is no sense mixed salad.

75

nah dude even release was good (besides the heavy armor resil bug). After they fixed that, the game was great. Then everything started going downhill after the patch that nerfed mage. Not strictly from the nerfs themselves (cause mage def needed nerfs) but from all the lag/bugs/unresponsiveness too.

76

from 200 gs is better

77

Another topic that seeks to invalidate the efforts of players who worked hard to get 600gs, while asking for free 600gs items with no effort.
Let me guess. This post is asking to give players the ability to upgrade from 599-600 and spit in the face of those who spent hundreds of gold for expedition keys/asmodeum to get 600gs.
