Wonders of the new gear!

[BodMaster]

Okay this is my first thread in a very long time, and hoping I can find out an answer or atleast discuss the possibilities that the new cap gear brings.

Just wondering if anyone has been able to figure out how this new gear we have been shown is going to work. (Was talking to a few people about this in game, was a good convo, but nothing official as such just banter)

We have a part of the Pink Chest for the new gear, but how will this be implemented into the game through the rest of the set? Since we have seen the new Gear that Sam had shown us, we know that "some" gear will be available to finish the pink set off. However remember this is lvl 40 gear not lvl 45.

**Re-cap, or for anyone that hasn't seen the new sets shown; http://www.spacetimestudios.com/show...n-Scorn-Act-II


So what we have been shown is either;

Redundant/Trash Pinks = There is another set for 45/46 that we aren't being shown. Also Sams hint, at the sets shown will not have Plat versions, could explain this, so in essence Epic/Custom/Plat have a diff version. (Plat for Pink is hopefully never going to happen)

Or

We have 1 lvl 40 piece and the rest is lvl 45 = Very awkward situation, but not impossible. If these are Pinks, surely Epic Gear would still be planned too? (Food for thought)

What's your take on this?

Ahhhh..

I've been thinking of this matter too..

My hopes are:

One epic set which we have not seen yet

Another - legendary one which is just as those chests, but 45 all pieces

The chests themselves become an addition for 40-45 pvp'ers and just look the same as new ones for 45..

Though i see the situation with 'all parts 45 exept for the chest 40' very possible too.. It has good armor stats and if made custom might add some other bonus

Reminds me of lvl 25 cap when the gear was scattered between the levels 23-25 lol the good greens

Same kind of thing that I was thinking. But if those pinks end up "trash, pinks meaning all lvl 40 I couldn't see it going down too well.

To me, making versions of the same gear for different lvls 40 and 45 just doesn't seem to look like it's going to work.

And since these are pink, will they be made redundant due to level, or will they stand a chance at 45 Epic/Custom/Plat etc.

Used to love those days! Hunting Numa for greens haha. (Only Greens were possible to drop)

maybe we could craft the gear from 40 to 45? unlikely but possible :/

that kinda will be bad..Too much hardwork :P

Maybe they will be like Nova/Razor/Gutter be 5 levels behind but still better.

I see couple things. One they can be trash pinks as the stats are just blah. They might be broken up like chest 40,arms 41,legs 42, helm 43 and so on. Or there is another set completely that we haven't seen.

Perhaps these new pink sets will be scaled to LvL. Having the option to farm a full LvL 40/43/45 Pink Sets if you wish as they do in PL.

They played with this feature with the LvL 20 Delta Gear, Having LvL 10/12/13/14/15/16/17/19/20 (probably missing some, but you get the picture) pieces for each of the sets. So maybe it's about time they fully implement it into the game.

[BodMaster]

I'd love to see that, but I don't believe that will be the case, could defo be a possibility though.

If it was the case, where would Epic/Custom/Plat come into this? Just have Trash and skip to Pink drops?

Surely they wouldn't miss out on not selling Plat gear, and would be very surprised if the do Pink Custom.

Every way I look at it I can't help but think there's another set.

If they go all out on the lvld Pinks, what will be released shortly after cap raise, to ensure longivity?

[BodMaster]

No new takes on this? See only old skool's replied (;

What's the new skool's thought on this?

[SkillFullGamer]

Hmmm probablly they'll finish the rest of the set at lvl.40i dont see them adding lvl 45 gear to the set.
But they'll introduce a new 45 end game (purple) set for all the classes.

[Deathpunch]

Look at some of the previous cap sets, the sunwalker gear for engis, as an example, allowed arms n legs at 24, but the rest at 25. While not quite the gap between 40 and 45, having set pieces at different levels isn't unknown. I'm sure there are other sets like this, too.

Hmmm all we can do is wonder untill we get a confirmed answer from Gibber or Sam.
Or wait till we get that mysterious update that everyones talking about ;-)

If all Pink, correct. But hopefully not Epic 45 to match a Pink 40. Wouldn't it kill the Plat market (which I personally would love a Cap set not to be in the store) and does that leave us open to customize still, or a copy of the same armour but epic?

So we are in agreement that their could/will be another set?

It doesn't hurt to wonder now and then Plus thought it was a good discussion before Cap releases, bringing more mystry to the Cap raise

It's all good ^_^ Fantastic Discussion.
I just want answers now lol tired of guessing hehe.
I think its time for another update from Samhayne.
Carry on the discussions *Salutes* At ease Gentlemen ;-)

This is just my opinion and speculation.
First, checking the legendary chests, they are on scale for level 45-46 following the usual scaling for cap armor. However it doesn't seem to have that extra kick that would be there as a new cap piece, it has it now with the vol1 armor instead. I did not see confirmation from devs that there would be a whole legendary set. Only that the chest would match with the new armor.
Possible that the new armor will be epic with an epic chest that looks different and is lower in stats than the legendary chest although marked for a higher level.

Hard to say. I am half expecting to get disappointed with the legendary chests, and half expecting to be disappointed with the new armor stats. The more likely of the two would be the new armor stats being weaker than we are used to to justify the legendary chests usefulness.

Now who really knows, could be customizable pink chest to upgrade it.
Could be an additional set bonus with the pink chest to kick it up to scale proper.
And yes, could be right could be a whole legendary set.....maybe even a set bonus to boot!
Arbiter set doesn't have stats and will be all over the place as far as level of the pieces by the time it is complete, but my guess is they have a plan for that too when it's finished, for now it acts like a vanity, but it is pink...

Only gibber and team know and they ain't talking.

I'm thinking these are lvl 40 sets. I'm hoping there is a set bonus that will make them comparable to a lvl 45 custom epic set. Which, if the pricing trend continues will be 50 - 55k per recipe 0.o

This way there would be at least 4 end game armor options counting non custom lvl 45 epic sets and the inevitable plat sets.

See that's the thing with the new skool, they don't care really. Us old players are like the jg Wentworth commercials "its my money, and I want it now".
All we can do now is wait for the patch to hit to see what's up.
