Latch 0 Report post Posted December 16, 2016 (edited) I loved almost everything about Nostalrius PvP, except for the glaring issue of the premature PvP gear stat upgrade. It was far too soon, and drastically altered Blizzard's itemization plan for the game. I understand that you spend countless hours acquiring this gear, but having spent significant time on retail vanilla WoW I can say with confidence that it was never Blizzard's intention to have the best gear in the game currently come from farming honor. PvP gear was meant to be a side objective. It breaks the game for the folk who like to be competitive in PvP but cannot devote the time to go to rank 12 or 13. Not to mention for many classes many of these items are best in slot for PvE as well. I've complained about this time and time again and finally you're recognizing this by upgrading the PvP gear at the proper patch on the Nost PvE server as well as the fresh start server. As someone who's played on Nostalrius from day one, I feel almost cheated. Don't get me wrong, this project is more than any of us deserve- but why should the original players be subject to play on a server with a huge mistake, while the players who joined the project later get the better server. A mistake that even now you recognize, could be fixed- but you choose not to. The players on Nostalrius PvE and the fresh server are already getting a better server that us- better progression timeline, more stable economy and proper loot tables from the start. At least give us on Nostalrius PvP this change to make the game the way Blizzard intended it and be at least partially on par with the other servers. I recognize that this suggestion will be unpopular for some, but for the vast majority- we'll be one step closer to the original game we all loved. Thanks.

I agree with that statement. Though I think you could end it at "Playing 16 hours per day for 9 weeks(r13, 1000 hours) for items" seems absurd. The pvp gear was never meant to be as good as raid gear for the time, Blizzard said this outright back in the day. Having to play 16 hours per day for 9 weeks for THE BEST items is just as absurd. People simply WOULDN'T play that much if the pvp gear wasn't as good, which it isn't supposed to be, thus it fixes two issues in one. Ranking becomes less no-life required and competitive, and people don't have way better gear then they are supposed to have. Obviously you recognize all this and the future servers will have pvp gear updated at the correct time. That is REALLY good for those servers. But what about OUR server... It's not too late to fix a horrible mistake! Mages have Naxx equivalent gear and AQ isn't even out yet. You think it's too late to fix it, but you have fixed things in the past after realizing things are wrong, like Viskag's stats for example. PvP gear being this good drastically changes the whole balance of the game. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
