We've made a point to include easily craftable pvp gear of dungeon quality to give players a chance to get their feet in the door before moving along the upgrade path.
The Savage Gladiator set is actually of item level 200s (superior), equivalent to the item level of a heroic instance. So, in much the same way that you might expect a player to first gear up in normal mode instances and get a handful of ilevel 187s items before proceeding to the heroics, the philosophy is that in the pvp case players will get the 187s crafted pvp items before attempting endgame pvp activity.
Il nome della roba S5 sara' Savage Gladiator.
Ci sara' un set PvP craftabile che sara' paragonabile - come qualita' - ai drop delle istanze normal.
In addition, players have access to ilevel 200e (epics) for the boots, belt, bracers, ring, neck, trinket, cape exclusively through honor (equivalent item level to end-boss heroic instances, nax 10, or items from the Emblem of Heroism vendor). These items, combined with the crafted items, provide a pretty good base of items from which a player might make an entry into the arenas.
Il nome dei nuovi badge of honor sara' "Emblem of Heroism"
Stivali, cintura, bracciali, anelli, collana, trinket e mantelli saranno sempre acquistabili SOLO con l'honor.
At that stage, the number of arena points required for a player to get a piece of Savage Gladiator equipment is tuned to be pretty generous. Even at a significantly sub-1500 rating, a player can generally get about a piece of the Savage Gladiator set with the points from one week (10 games), which is generally about a time investment of less than an hour of arena play per week. This seems to stack up very competitively with how long it might take running heroic instances to get a piece of gear for your character.
I pezzi del Savage Gladiator saranno ottenibili, anche a rating sub-1500, con i punti che si prendono dal fare 10 arene in una settimana.
In pratica: 5/6 settimane per il full equip PARE (da quanto si capisce) tutto senza rating minimo.
We’re also doing what we can to address the fact that players that don’t have high ratings can often still get steamrolled by highly rated players that are starting new teams, helping friends, etc. As I’ve described in another post, we have plans to keep a persistent “under-the-hood” rating for all characters that is used for determining matchmaking, so that even if a highly rated player starts a new team (or joins another low-rated team), the system will know what opponents that team should really be playing against.
Sembra che abbiano in programma qualcosa per evitare gli scontri tra high e low ranking in arena.
E poi conclude con una serie di affermazioni che han fatto incazzare non poca gente, su come i BG non possono essere un metro di giudizio per la skill dei giocatori (vero) e le arene si (falso), e che quindi non metteranno un equip basato esclusivamente sull'honor (come in tanti chiedevano) perche' altrimenti si rischierebbe un appiattimento degli equip tra tutti quanti.
Che dire?
Boh... non viene fatta menzione delle armi, ma solo degli armorset.
Io credo che il discorsino del "mettiamo l'armorset acquistabile con gli arena point ma senza rating" sia anche giusto... ma son pronto a scommettere che per le armi il rating ci sara', eccome :D
