Gear "grind"

[Mcgotrek]

Can any of the dev/decision maker post his thoughts? Thanks!

They have explained their point of view a lot of times on the forums.

The gear you need to compete isn't hard to get. Conq/Domi isn't required at all. Those are just long term goals or something for people with a lot playtime.

Would you play longer if u could get top set in a week? Ask yourself 1st simple question.

I would even play if i never get new gear besides its only cosmetic. If they lock the rr to 40 i would be more interested than a rr80 grind. I would even play naked if gear doesn't add stats or bonuses. Whats that all about with the:" "Farm gear to roflstomp undergeared players to feel great?" (General Question not an insult at the quted player) I thought pvp should be about skill and fun and not statgear. (I'm fine with cosmatic gear since it doesnt boosts or drags down your performance)

We are still playing an mmo. And part of it are the grind to get something better. How far it might be and how small the increase.

You just want to play. That's great. But other players want to get better in the long run.

It is a motivation thing for players.
And yes to be competitive get Ruin Gear and nowadays very fast your anni gear and you are done.

if you have a lucky zone you can make 100-200 medalls in a hour, the prob are not the system or the cost of the set. the prob ist that the player are not play as a team, search a guild or friends and you have no porblems to get the new sets


and btw, the game is for fun not for gear you dont need the best gear to have fun

Conq/Domi is obtainable in 1 week if you play properly.

Sorry but if you play the game 1 hour per day in pug warbands you shouldn't get that gear.
And also that " If the gear become more easy to get, more players gonna play the game " argument is laughable.

Play for fun..gear will come anyway.
The gap betwen conq and anih is so small.. When they released conq I was depressed how much it cost and gave up imedialty on tryharding flipingzones and running boybands and did what a ive always done: log everyday play for 2hours solo rvr.. Now im siting on 590 conq medalions and 2 subjulgators, full conq is not even that good; Im running 5 beastlord/2 conq/2 anih its very similar powerwise.

Sorry to barge in, but is this the same Krima who was a WE and had a Brother who played a Healing Dok on Badlands back in the day ?

I did play gorfang with my bro on his SH (whypanic) and choppa (fodon) ... my cousin played his dok Jinjun.

Okay then i wasent you i played with sorry for the interrupt.

Re introduce when a sensible model for distributing is created

My 2 cents is this.

When you look to live, the gear was basically free towards the end. The main progression there was the renwon ranks. This was a very linear and easy to see your progression.

Here the progression isnt renown, but gear. The gear gain is RNG. When people look at progression they just see RNG and don't want to deal with it. You can play a full night here and see so little progression.

Some people play for fun, some for Gear. Devs will struggle to keep both intrested.

Yes.

Allot of people i know looked at the new grind and did stop playing.

Me one of them, i'm so full of asian-style-grinding games, i can't take it anymore.

Conq/Domi is obtainable in 1 week if you play properly.

Not everyone is homeless and unemployed students, personally me have work, family and other stuff to take care of. But hey, at least you have conq gear, i mean, who needs wife or children or work, when you can haz a CONQ gear!!!
