Wards and Patch

[Akalukz]

Since the vanquisher and invader wards are locked from PVE due to the patch, maybe you should reduce the cost of those RvR sets until the PVE dungeons are open again. With the change in meta a lot of people need to regear new mains and the quickest and most efficient way is currently locked out.

Agree with this post

Second option would be adding a way to get it from Gunbad

EG

6 kills of ard to feed gets sent chest, 9 kills gets bloodlord chest

its clunky, but lack of access to PVE wards is very disruptive for new character gear progression

or just make them buyable with war tokens, like 500-1k a peice or something.

Agreed, I dont have proof but i do feel the big hit in pop these days has been in good part to not being able to progress the PVE wards anymore

[Waaghtastic]

If the dungeons won't be unlocked within the next days I'd also be happy to see an alternative option to unlock these wards other than RVR/War Crests or get these items via an alternative way.

This is currently indeed a very hard gear progression blocker unfortunately and simply buying the rvr sets to unlock the wards is not really an option IMHO.

I was feeling the progression block. Dropped nearly 4k crests to unlock the ability to buy the fortress weapon for 1600 more. Do not recommend anyone to do this as now im starting the 10k sov grind with bonus 10k triumphant ring grind from 0 at 66 again.

Morale of the story, just be patient people !

this is the root cause

[Helwer]

just make it cheaper anyway - so many bis player complaining they never get fair fights cause they are overtuned in full sov + scenario gear, please help them and make it easier to catch up for lower-rr and new players!

[Akalukz]

The cost of Invader is out of whack for sure. Vanquisher and below isn't too bad.

[normanis]

vanquisher is very good set.
