Rated warzones are for people who like to PvP and want to play competitively.
^this.
Community makes the best PVP. Without community and a want to destroy the enemy and make them cry, even the best pvp game designs become soulless.

So pretty much you have to get the ranked warzone **** for the mods/enhancements, buy orange crit crafted gear for 5 million credits cause it will be rediculous and put augments on them if you are a min/maxer like most glads are.



and everyone will look like they are level 10 cause they will be the easiest to get.

We will all look like noobs
Actually, you'll just buy the standard war hero gear for the mods. You don't need the rated version for that.

So how did you ever really know if you were the best when you had better gear?

np dude. Just get your favorite looking set. I'm going to find the ugliest noobish looking gear so I look like i'm level 10 just because thats what they want us to do and mod it out.


It really is fail, they want to give everyone customization options but they actually just took it away.

High ranked pvp gear (warhero) should have augments in it. What if i liked the way it looked? doesnt matter, go look like a level 10 noob instead, its better.

Doesn't war hero gear have better stats than BM gear?

You can still only get it from doing ranked WZs.

The rated war hero gear is the same stats as regular war hero gear. You'll still need to do ranked WZs to get the war hero gear. The more "prestigious" look is just to show off that you have a high rating because you performed at a higher level.

There may not be a statistical advantage to doing WELL in rated wzs (other than presumably gearing faster) but there is for playing them.

I suspect we'll end up seeing augment kits so we can retrofit raid/pvp gear with augment slots.
