    Imsmithy I think you accidentally misread the post. The Glory amount is still the same per coin. It is saying that you can now trade in Grim Coins in stacks of 10 instead of only 1. I think its a nice little improvement.

    Dardove if you check they have not uploaded the new patch yet. Preview is still running NW.14.20140204a.2 at the moment not NW.14.20140204a.4. I'm guessing it should be uploaded by tomorrows Dev playtest however.

    it would be nice to be able to try out other gear by granting more glory per grym coin as well as being able to trade coin for the seals of triumph. this kind of limits the testing for casuals.

    Guess that is what I get for assuming the patch happened when Panderus said it would. Probably got delayed for some reason.

    Could have been a mis-communication or maybe they forgot...


    I really hope "A number of the new PvP sets now have updated stats to for their set where appropriate." is in regards to the feedback alot of people have posed against the current sets...

    This could either be very small changes which would be not great... or could be exactly what people were asking for, I know I cant wait to see... I really hope they listened to the feedback on that one and tweaked the sets around...

    O_O strange , are the developers aware the patch has still not been deployed?
    Looks like it's certainly not going to be ready for tonight's stream in any case.

    The T2 sets are good, its the T2.5 sets that suck. UNLESS they add in weapons to the set bonuses then I could see the case being made for the gear.

    Ill just say that GWF gear is the least of my worries about the new pvp patch/gear system even though I have one, I have no problem still rocking around with amazing stats/gear setup using T2 armor.

    I am more concerned with ARP not affecting CW stats. Control resist making CWs a completely dead class, and I mean DEAD. DCs quitting because they like to heal and they effectively removed that from the PVP game and ontop of that healing depression affecting things like lifesteal/bloodtheft/lifedrinker. Also concerned with the only viable TR build now being perma since "the burst king" has now been reduced to hiding in the shadows in fear dealing no damage...

    I would like to see the Sentinel set change that power to regen. The Destroyer set has got to go, that is just plain pve stat set-up, and no amount of tenacity will save it. The instigator set? I dunno. Never really seen a successful recovery build for a GWF.

    On the otherhand, I feel the HR sets are really nice as is. So hopefully nothing changes there.

    When Owlbear goes down for whatever reason, it disappears from the list. In this case, it was just so they could apply a patch to to it.

    and the GWF pvp sets are still useless u guys just wasted ur time making them.
    Power stat on sentinel grim set should be replaced by regeneration.

    Disagree, I think its a fair balance. But the T2.5 Sentinel armor has HALF the HP the T2 does. There is still NO reason to get the T2.5 gear because the 2pc set bonus is crit versus HP.

    Please either change ALL the gear so the 2pc set bonuses are all crit, or change the T2.5 so its HP as well....

    Regen would make the set too good.

    Regen would make the set too good.

    Or I could just keep using 2 pc Titans for 322 regen, 1800 2 pc set bonus, and still get 20% Tenacity since the Sentinel set having Power witha crit bonus makes it a big step down. I don't have Fomorian's or Dragon Sword anyways (just ancient), so it's not huge loss to use PvP weapon set.

    The class should be balanced around mechanics in my opinion, not by only providing crappy gear that I have to work around.
