I personally think that the addition of Tier 4 PvP gear is a good thing as this will revitalize CE. There will now be a reason for contention out in CE... that is, if they place additional PvP levels in the game.We are working on tweaking Tier 3 PvP gear to achieve better balance. In particular we will be looking at removing some of the less useful stats and converting them into more meaningful attributes, top of the list are the melee weapons whose base DPS is not as competitive as they should be. Stay tuned to the Test Live forums for a more detailed thread on this in the future.
But that is not all that is happening with PvP gear, because we are also adding even more power and opportunities to this system. The process has begun on making Tier 4 PvP gear, so you have plenty of great items to look forward to!
I know... lots of people will think that this is a bad thing because clicking rocks and trees is not PvP... but I don't care about that so long as people are fighting over the right to click those nodes!! LOL
And the weapons, oh boy the weapons!!! I just hope they add constitution to the weapons... that is the biggest thing I think needs to be changed. You need health for PvP!! and lots of it!!!
