Default Re: So the vp armor got upgraded what about pvp gear

It always makes me giggle a little bit when the red servers abuse something in some way and they globally change it. The huge stream of whiny pve'rs that come parading on the forums is always good for a laugh.

I play and raid a lot and I now have 2 pieces of vp set gear after 5 months of raiding(second highest dkp earner in the guild with 2500 dkp earned or spent this expansion). Im gonna get the 4 piece because I had to settle for two shitty pieces just to get my 2 set. Woot fuckin woot for 20 in combat health regen is all im saying. The helm has never dropped even tho we were the first guild to kill silverwing by almost a month. The shoulders have dropped 1 time.

Lets talk about pvpers having full sets already which is possibly 5 months before a hardcore raider. Lets talk about exiles having no reactive procs that are even on par with pvp jewelry. Im not complaining about this, I never have, but fighting averted eyes when you dont have the availability of similar pieces is a real cunt.

Read above. I was only seeking my 2 piece bonus and am eventually getting my 4 piece because its the crit pieces that I wanted to start with but they never dropped. So I was forced into 2 pieces that I didnt even want just to get the one bonus. The 4 set bonus isnt bad but I would not have bid on pieces to obtain it until everyone else already had the necessary pieces for their own 4 set bonus. I will never have 5 or more pieces because the final bonus is laughable. Claim that vp gear is the end all be all but Im only wearing 3 pieces atm because there are other better pieces that are available. Im actually wearing 10 pieces of loot from instances, quests from last expansion or named mobs in open zones. Vp loot aint that ube imo.

Well, while inspecting some people from Nagafen on EQ2Players, I saw at least 4 or 5 with already 5+ VP pieces. Really curious on who already has a full PvP set.

Eh I'm not sure that would be a perfect comparison. Don't most people spent the big tokens first on jewelry with averted eyes, then maybe a weapon? Does anyone go for straight armor first?

Sorry, but that has pretty much nothing to do with what I was getting it.

I was saying that the +25 tracking avoidance sucks ass, and should be changed.

As for people with full sers, I think there are only like 2 people with then, and that's because they PvP like crazy, probably spending more than you do raiding, so that's fair enough.

.
Yeah and 15% reduction to power cost sucks ass as power is a non issue in pve with an illusionist in group. At least +25 avoid has some use in pvp whereas mine has no use at all. My group has unlimited power with my mythical and other regular tricks illusionists use.

Good for you. But not everyone rolls with an Illusionist 100% of the time, and even less people have Mythicals and unlimited leet powerz you have.

I only have 1 to compare by but someone I know had 3 pieces of jewelry and 2 weapons before armor was introduced(aurrora had her first weapon within 4 days of RoK going live and that is on venekor). He had almost enough tokens for his first armor piece before writ givers were even put in. So he had his first piece of pvp gear in the first week after introduction whereas it took 5 months to get my first vp set piece. I also did not get an uber raid weapon until I got my mythical again 5 months after the first pvp weapon was discod on naggy or vene.

Should I make posts and complain for pages and pages about how unfair it is that pvpers can pick their first set piece and weapon?
They got theirs before me even tho I am one of the most active raiders on the whole server. I tell you its unfair and I am somehow being oppressed by the powers that be. Whine.... Whine..... Complain.....Bitch......... Moan. Damn, Im glad I got that off my chest. I want sony to give me all my gear with a minimum of effort and Im gonna quit if I dont get my way. Im so flustered right now Im gonna go stand in an x10 on kp docks and farm some tokens while spam hailing flotsam and jetsam or whatever the writ givers name is. Later
