  • well I admit,  I am incredibly excited for the game, and I would say Not Gear Based is simply a wording snaffu. (I would say lightly gear based, to say NOT gear based is implying gear will have no effect)  But I can agree to dissagree on choice of words when we all understand that gear will play a small part in the end result.

    I to had a WOW character (Hunter/Orc) in full Giant Stalker, Beast Stalker, and Dragon Stalker sets of armor,  with a full suit of Epic weapons, trinkets from various raiding instances.  (I will never raid for another suit of armor again / total waste of time)

    I really like the coloring system for armor being mentioned!  I hate looking like everyone else!

    Any way they choose,  I think the game has such a large variety of Class / Race I will be happily entertained for several hours!

    3 cheers for WAR!!!

  • so in essence,  the game is indeed "GEAR BASED" however what is being said is simply we aren't going to release the UBER gear, yet......

    Think back to the Old School EQ Days,  Gear was roughly 30% for years,  but once POP hit,  the game went to 80% and beyond!

    I can accept that, as long as they stick to there guns on not gear based,  POP ruined EQ because it replaced skill with GEAR in the end ;-(

  •  I am rather confused about this Not Gear Based comment.  Lets over analys this for just a moment,  I need help understanding this comment, as it seems to be false.

    #1. I have heard DEV's comment on players being "RVR Equiped and PVE Equiped" <-- is this not gear?

    #2. Trinkets and such are items you may be awarded, and talismans are customisable with stats!  Aren't these "GEAR"??

    #3. Has anyone actually played an MMO that wasn't gear based?  You certainly don't see a naked dude owning a fully equiped dude in any game!

     When I see someone say war is not gear based, I think I must be miss-understanding the meaning of the word "GEAR".  I understood "GEAR" as anything you were not born with.  AKA your pants, glasses, shirt, and knecklass would all be gear. 

    So I leave this to be discussed.......Allot....because I will bet I will never see a Naked character in a battle. ;-)

     

    Of Coarse, I have been proven wrong in the past!

  • Crafting = seems to be a WIN for WAR!

    Crafting system seems trivial compaired to a game such as Vanguard, but at the same time,  I like the idea of not wasting equal amounts of time on crafting as I do on adventuring!

    White Lion Class Annouced!

    OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG  WOOT!  This is going to be a very fun class indeed! 

    I am 100% for WAR!
