Drops worse than ever?

[Joshwa70]

Well order... the way I see it is destro deserves the gear. You intentionaly let them take a keep thatcould have been defended so you could take i t back ten minutes later so u could all get your purples. But you are letting them get theirs as well. You are so thirsty for some half assed advantage you would gear the other side... and let's not forget you passed on pvp to do pve thus bypassing the system put in place to get ppl in the lake. /puke

omg your guys are so pathetic you´re crying almost over everything!

i did today some open pvp and there droped 4 greens (2 butcher) 1 woe in 45 min with half the time running over the map and 2 bigger encounters (wb was 24 ppl) so it´s good that way

at vendors you get the gear you need anyway and inf reward for a few days now


if you want some **** worthless digital **** you can go to World of Warcraft or TESO where you can farm all day, this server aint no farmhammer online this is Warhammer online a pvp game Player versus Player where you kick arses and get you ars kicked.

this server is a playerable alpha in development status and for free so bear it and stop the whine about digital crap

It's a PvP game, people are going to bitch about not being able to realistically be on the same playing field as others. There are several people on destro w/ 2 purple weapons and full woe, and they have a sizeable advantage over those in your vendor greens.

The devs set up this forum for feedback, and that's what I am doing. If you read or even listened to people in game you know I am not the only one.

And if you actually read the thread you would know that inf rewards are broken and are missing half their stats... not to mention it is only chest and gloves (weapons are the most important in terms of power scaling), also no one is asking the game to be farm hammer, quite the opposite friend.

I agree, itemization is pretty busted in multiple ways atm, and it would be good if devs would give some insight into what they are doing or considering doing to address it. I'm not complaining about it either, whatever they do would probably help other players more than it would help me (at least on my magus), which is fine.

In the meantime, take solace in the knowledge that many players sporting numerous shiny pieces of gear have more time and/or money than sense. I see many players using Woe items that are clearly dookie.

gear vs skill?

[Jaycub]

Here is an example of one of the top geared players vs someone in calamitous/lvl 20 vendor gear and t2 empire/chaos inf rewards. Some stats are worth more than other, for instance weapon dps is huge for classes that rely on auto attacks, a jump from 25 to 31 is an increase of 20% more auto damage. These stats just happened to be how the person built that I grabbed from the armory, he trades high strength for huge defense and high weapon skill. Regardless you should see that people w/ purple/blue gear have a clear cut advantage. The cost of his gear is around 2k gold.

Without some imba set bonuses I really don't see an issue. They invested a lot of their time, they should be rewarded for it. I's an MMO after all.

I don't see why people who spent time trying to get gear shouldn't have an advantage.

The problem is there is no guarantee, you are completely at the mercy of RNG now that PvE no longer drops gear. You could play 100 hours and get nothing, but log in one day for an hour and get a piece of runescribed and woe. I don't mind working towards something, but when I am statistically no closer 100 hours in than i was when I first started that bothers me. The token system was perfect, would be nice to have a vendor selling woe/runescribed for insigs. Have sc reward insigs, and have players drop them. This would solve the RNG problem untill PQ bags and the other two T2 zones are finished. I don't know a lot about scripting or coding, but I imagine that adding a vendor and putting insigs into the loot tables for players and sc rewards wouldn't be that hard.

They invested a lot of their time farming npc's, and now they have an advantage in RvR/PvP against people who only do RvR/PvP. In an RvR game.

This is the reason why WoW PvE gear is useless in PvP, but you can buy PvP gear with currency that you gain (you guessed it) by doing PvP.
