That would be literally the opposite of awesome. They're making this new content completely PvE centered. Isn't that enough for you?

Y'know the difference between a player geared in PvP gear and a player geared in even maxed end-game raid gear is astronomical in open world right? Its to the point of being outright silly.

That's not to say they shouldn't receive no advantage at all for their PvP gear

But in warzones players get a free bolster to having expertise in the 1700s. People wearing PvP gear cap at around 2100.

In open world they have 0. None. Players in PvP gear will have roughly twice as much effective hp and deal far more damage than people in the strongest available non-PvP gear, let alone people wearing more normal gear.

A player being able to take on 4 others simultaneously simply because of his gear doesn't make for a good experience.

Good. That is the price you pay for getting more content than us.

And you want less players who aren't already geared in fully augmented brutalizer to participate in open world pvp type activities because?
*EDIT

Heck, that's as dumb as the bracketless PvP we had at launch.

Any chance we will have the ability to place other ALT characters from our legacy in the stronghold as well? The alt character logged in presently could be visibly hidden in the stronghold. I have no idea how involved it would be. It would rock my rocks tho, whole legacy team in one place.

Thanks for everything guys.

Bad, because you are in the minority.

Open world pvp is a joke right now, there should be no such thing as expertise out of warzones because of reasons stated before - ganking is not good pvp, it's just a e-peen bolster.

Having said that - I really look forward to the game update and the conquering planets system, I just hope all guilds will have equal footing (as in not to allow the number of players affect anything).

I'm looking forward to checking out all of the new stuff, and since I haven't had much time lately to really play the game like I'd like too, I suppose waiting isn't really an issue for me. Still excited though, and thanks for the update!

Gear should not matter in OWPvP. It should be about coordination and tactics. If it's in the open world where PvE interact with PvP. Then gear should be on an even playing field regardless of which aspect of gaming. They should do it like the free event and have an area where you get bolstered to close to max rating.
