[PVE] Wards to unlock sets

[Shanell]

Dear devs,

Is it possible to make RVR sets give wards as it was back on live? The set grind is a problem for me and, I assume, for other peoples too. When I think about getting a BL weapon for my WH I see that I would need to waste my time running GB to get set I need just for the sake of having it's ward and then never wear again. It will take about 10 days to get this set - or all of the sets if I will be playing all day long getting GB-city dugeons-BS.
This situation is demoralizing. I presume, that most of the players here are not kids and have families and work, so I think it would be a good idea to make RVR sets give wards for speeding up progression and getting rid of situation where people need to farm functionally useless items.
I porose this:
Conqureror set - giving Lesser Ward
Vanquisher set - giving Greater Ward
Invader set - giving Superior ward
It would also be wonderful if equipping parts of this set would open chunks of these wards, so if someone have redeye body and conqueror's hat it would give that person 2 ward parts for equipping them.
I hope that my idea is understood. Will be glad to see comments about this.

Yes that would be ideal. Would be also nice if we could exchange gear meaning you get vanquisher chest exchanging the piece for sentinel. invader for bloodlord... Like the dungeons weapons exchanging between weapons with a mark. When you get multiple characters this would help alot. The focus and the fun of the game is rvr.

you need no wards,the dungeons are pretty easy you must know what you must do

You need wards to equip those items you get in dungeons

Devs have addressed this in the past. TLDR version - if you want the gear, then do the content.

This.

Also, if you are lucky enough, one run can be enough to get full set.

GB is one hour with a good group, same for C&T and BB/BE. In two weeks and 7 hours, you can have your gears and weapons. This is more painful to get Vanquisher or Invader.

I am not ready to sacrifice this much of my free time to work for PVE sets. My point of playing is to have fun, after all. Maybe I will do LV when it will ( (I hope it will some day) come out on my chosen, since this is only character I had collected sets on. It felt like long and tiresome and I did not like it, really.
Now imagine someone leveling a character and looking at all of those required steps: GB-city-BL-LV. I am afraid many would just not try to do all of those steps and just focus on RVR.
My point is: people who play this game isn't getting younger, time is precious and collecting long outleveled PVE gear for sake of unlocking ability to wear new PVE gear looks and feels unnececary complicted.

I happen to agree with you 100%. Just passing along what they have said in the past when this came up. It’s a hard “no” from them every time.

I’m in a situation, with the amount of time I have to play on a daily basis, where doing PvE stuff just really isn’t feasible. I’ve got two hours max each day, on most days, and I would spend half of that trying to find a group. I’ve tried finding a group that was willing to schedule the runs, but something always ends up getting in the way. Then I’m right back to where I started with having to spend half my time trying to find a group. I’d love to have the opportunity to try out the Bloodlord weapons and city dungeon influence weapons on my AM and shammy, but it’s just not in the cards for me. It sucks. But it is what it is.

The only option I could really see working would be something like the dungeon queue in other games. But that’s a ton of coding (I assume.) and has also been said “no” to in the past when it has been brought up.

are you kidding me. what are you talking about? the dev scratch the dungeons from zero and that is not hatd to het the gear in max 3 weeks, you want say to me, that you get the same gear invader gear in 3 weeks? yeah you need a good group and i say it again this game is a combination between pvp and Pve and if you dont want understand this, please go and play another game. if you want gear then you must work for it. and not how live all blow in your ass

But combining the ideas from post #1 and #2 would be so sweet.. really get rid of that big grind

Run max 4 sent dungeons and 4 bloodlord about 12 hours total (probably just half) exchange to vanq and invader and in just 6 hours of game time you've done what would nornally take a week+
...getting invader be like; defend zone for 45 min, get no bag, then defend fort for 45 min, get not enough contri or 1 invader (oh wait you are under r50.. have 4 conqs instead..) repeat 200 times to complete invader then go on forum and complain about the only non-grindy aspect of this game..

All dungeons can be done in 1-2 hours or less and you can run just 1 wing at a time and plenty people run it so unlike ranked, which also locks gear behind content people don't like, it is accessible and relatively fast.

I'm not against the idea of making a single token, but you need a very thoroughly thought out mechanism to ensure all ways (pve,pqs,dungeons,sc,ranked,orvr,fort,city) are balanced and continues to be played...
