Lets try and get a dev answer!
Can we expect the level 71 Elite Vanity to give a set bonus with previous elite vanities?
Nope.
I think it's better that there isn't a bonus with past vanities so it gives everyone a chance to get a 3 piece set, if u wanna keep ur vanity set useful, I'd make it a twink and lvl a new toon with no current elite vanities
I'll have to say a blunt no.
If you weren't here before Mt. Fang and got the armor, well, you have it and new players don't. If you're still playing when cap is 86 or so, MFA is a thing of the past. It might be a nice trophy for you.
I only have CoP, I really don't need +15 armor and a few regen :p
O mai GAWD! Can we just drop this?? I just don't care anymore lol. At this rate i say just get rid of the bonus all together and make them real vanities.
Lets just wait till next week..we should be happy then
These is a bonus atm. But worse than previous set bonus which doesn't make sense. I think it's a bug. hopefully they dont give bonus with previous vanities.
Errr ask the devs lol
All elites should have a bonus mixed with anyone u have..it makes running for caps that much better..an worth our money :)
Should be separate so they match good ;D
Oh look this topic again...there was an entire thread about this that ran its course because people just sort of agreed to disagree. The expansion has been out for 2 weeks, and players started capping as early as the first and second day, and this is one of the initial questions asked, will the new elite vanity add bonus when worn with previous elite vanities? There were many bugs and glitches that came out succeeding that initial "question", and impressively, our devs have been on top of them. But "the" question remains untouched and I could only assume that it's because it was already answered "that there's no bonus". I also asked that question actually, but after analyzing things I thought that there's no better answer than action, or rather in this case, inaction. If the bonus was meant to be, the devs would have apologized, and it would have been there by now. If they could deliver a new elite vanity that eats up more bandwidth and takes more time to produce, then they are more than capable of adding that bonus...but they didn't, did they forget it? I don't think so, they did that on purpose. So to the question will the 71 elite cap vanity have a bonus? I think the answer can already be found in the game, the devs are obviously not treating this particular issue as a problem that needs to be solved or a feature that they overlooked, so you can assume that what we have now is the final product as far as this issue is concerned. So, unless some sort of virtual uprising happens within PL, I don't think we should expect them to add a bonus.
PS: I would also appreciate if a dev publicly answers this though, just to end this, so people can go back to that answer every time someone revives this issue.
Seriously, QUIT making threads like these.
There have already been like 3 of these threads and developers would have said something by now.
There will most likely NOT be a bonus.
It's like asking for something over and over again but knowing you're probably not going to get it.
I think not.
Agh, great thing you didn't go and get offended by this.
Sorry for my badly worded post that makes it look offensive.
Basically I just wanted to say that if the developers wanted some bonus to have been produced, it would have been announced by now, since there have been several threads on this already.
To answer the question in the title, I remember posting something saying to people who where complaining that it was a helm not a pet that equip this will get you epic sparkles and different combinations of elite vanities and I DID get support from a dev on it. I'm trying to find the thread now.
Wow; some of you guys were really rude. Buddy is just trying to find out whether or not the newest Vanity Helm will interact with previous Elite Cap vanities. Sure, its most likely no; but none of you have proof, nor any more knowledge than anyone else. So what if a million threads about the same thing are made. None of them have been answered. Relax and stop flaming the guy.
I'm thinking it will be part of the bonus (not there yet don't know) because like Sam had said the main difference between the 2 (56&71) is recognition so with that being said I think it will have the bonus and hey you never know ........craftable
Hello,
Techno Email here with the word on elite vanity stat bonuses. It is my intent that the elite level 71 helm, and all vanity items going forward, will serve only to change your character's appearance. This is not to say that vanity items will become inherently less cool. In fact, I'd love to hear your ideas for exciting visuals that and elite player could wear to help differentiate them from the masses.
Here are a couple of totally crazy ideas just to get your creative, brainstorming juices flowing:
-Imagine if the elite level 71 helm granted you access to secret area or granted you a special quest.
-Imagine if the "Volcoconut" helm had a chance to emit a volcanic-eruption when you used your firestorm ability.
Something to consider:
A vanity item can allow you to change the appearance of your character, while maintaining the stat's from your stat'd gear. How many of you would happily give up your elite vanity items AND their set bonus in exchange for true vanity items and perhaps a ring with a even greater stat's?
Could any combination of elite items perhaps give sparkles at least? I like the sparkles xD
Hundreds of dollars spent and hours of time used only to give a vanities that alter your appearance. Pardon me, but no thank you. If you choose to make the L71 Vanity Cap and Elite Vanities in the future statless, that's fine. But I beg of you not to mess with any of the L56, L61, and L66 Elite Vanities.
Honestly, I'd like to see the Elite Vanities stashable and/or have no level requirement (even if no stats).
I have one thing to say now I know its like this ...garbage ill save a lot of money not buying thrashers why get to 71 if all of a sudden the future elite vanities are gonna do nothing but "ooooooh its pretty" whatever ill save money btw I spent $600 in this process chasing vanities ....whatever. sorry guys little dissapointed
Sorry for my rant but just seems I'm coming up short when I feel I'm close to doing something here in the wonderful land of pl but will still save my money now
I like stats :D
If vanities going forward are not to give set bonuses, then there will be nothing to oppose the current 56/61/66 vanity set. My recommendation (and I'm sure many are opposed) would be to (PLEASE) take away the set bonus from that vanity set, and perhaps let the sparkles remain. Maybe some other perk for the hard work.
Another thing I'd like to bring up:
Currently, all store bought vanity helms (excluding the OCD, as it is newer) give 1 armor. 2011 Big Luck/Love and all party hats of any size, excluding the purple ambassador party hat, give approximately ~1.5 armor. Depending on your stats, this can round up to +2 armor. So, currently, we have vanities that give no armor, 1 armor, and 2 armor. Would you be taking away vanity stats, or changing all of them to +1 armor, or what? Just wondering.
I'd definitely vouch for vanities being VANITIES. Not exclusive stat giving items. It's just one step closer to balancing pvp, etc. It is nothing but beneficial overall, even if some people are upset that they lose their exclusive 3 piece item set. As for the rings with greater stats, YES!
Devs, please take all players into consideration and get rid of the old 3 piece ("vanity..?") item set bonus. Keeping the sparkles would be nice though :D. Thanks!
EDIT: (and lol techno email said volcoconut! This helm needs a rename... ;))
I don't know why everyone is in such a rush. I've never spent any plat on these xp elixers. I'm lvl66 now, and I'm sure I'll get to lvl71 with plenty of time to spare. I just keep farming humania for pinks and pick up xp on the way. Try to enjoy the ride and stop worrying so much!
Also, I agree with not having exclusive vanities which give stats. Instead, why not make more vanities like the dragon armor/helm. These can give stats, but can be very rare drops that any player can work hard to get (by either farming or saving gold to buy them).
