Maybe devs can add that new players get free full SOV sets when creating new toons?Elendal wrote: ↑Thu Apr 15, 2021 10:46 pm I just wanted to comment that I have two rr80+ characters now, one on both destro and order side, and that neither of them have full sovereign or warlord gear. We all know the power that these gear sets give every class. How is it that it takes past rr80 to acquire this gear? There's no way new people will want to play when they have to fight wbs that are fully geared in sov/warlord when it takes this long to get these gear sets.
No. BEST gear should be difficult to obtain, GOOD gear should be readily available with just an ounce of dedication. Note: Sovereign is under "BEST" category. The goal is to allow everyone to have fun and compete. If you take the mentality of "GOOD GEAR = DIFFICULT TO OBTAIN", you simply end up in a place where the live WAR faltered: a place where few people are so vastly better than others, they simply farm them. That is bad.kirraha wrote: ↑Sat Apr 17, 2021 9:27 amMaybe devs can add that new players get free full SOV sets when creating new toons?Elendal wrote: ↑Thu Apr 15, 2021 10:46 pm I just wanted to comment that I have two rr80+ characters now, one on both destro and order side, and that neither of them have full sovereign or warlord gear.

So you can compete with the rest of us who some has played since the server started.
Or. You dedicate yourself and don't play casualmode. You will get the gear very fast that way.
Imo. Good gear should be hard and demanding to get.
True but from what I gathered it wasn't supposed to be like that (at least here on RoR). The frustration doesn't just come from "lazy" people who want to be handed their BiS for free but also from the fact that once the bolster effects wane you get thrown in the "big boys" league wearing rags and have to spend quite a while feeling completely useless (or at least not having much fun). The rift between full Sov and Conqueror is colossal, it's basically letting T2 players in the T1 lakes with no debolster. It's not the amount of work needed to reach Sov that's daunting, it's the time you'll spend having no fun while doing it. I'm not even sure being in full vanq is considered decent nowadays, you would probably have many people giving you the side-eye for queing up with that gear in solo ranked sc (but I guess that's a small niche).havartii wrote: ↑Sat Apr 17, 2021 9:42 am I can see how it would be frustrating for a new player. They are just fodder for everyone else who understands the game mechanics and are in bis gear. You are forced to zerg mindless hours to get anything that even resembles a competitive set. But that's the game . Take it or leave it.
