    Wish I had read the thing about the Hearts before I went and salvaged my main-hand weapon on the preview server. Now my poor character is weaponless! At least until I copy her over again and get her reinvited to her guild.

    This seems like a nerf to me.
    Before you could feed you legendary weapon into the new artifact weapon for a chance at it becoming legendary again. I know when the new weapons came out I waited till a double RP weekend, it crit, and the new weapon was automatically maxxed out without me spending a single RP. With this new system it seems they are taking that away so you are forced to spend RP to max out the new weapon.

    You still can, it will just take a little extra grinding. In the ToD campaign, make a new Elemental Fire weapon. Refine that one to level 35. Put it aside until your Guild is able to access the new artifact weapons, then use THAT one to trade in for the Weapon Essence to acquire a new mainhand. Then when the next double RP comes, refine your current main hand into it.

    Nice one, thanks for the explanation.

    But at one point the text confuses me.

    "The actual GWF BIS MH “Elemental Fire Greataxe” is lv 135 (Legendary), if we salvage it we will obtain a Weapon Essence, rank 2 that allow us to reforge a Lv 135 (Epic) weapon upgradeable to Lv 140 (Legendary)."

    and some sentences below:

    "The good thing is that if you already have a Legendary Lv 140 weapon, you can salvage it in order to get a Weapon Essence, rank 3. This essence plus the heart will allow you to acquire another legendary weapon of the same level."

    Does that mean, only the new weapons will be lvl 140 on legendary, so with the new ones you get a 1 for 1 trade, like when you decide that you want another set bonus?

    It will come with Undergrounds for sure, everything made obsolete again and grind again.

    When will they get it, we need content, Dungeons and so, not just repeatedly forced grind.

    "With the arrival of a new module, we are always excited about the new equipment that will replace what used to be the BIS gear in the previous one"

    - LOL, spoken like a true whale. I wonder how much longer can NVW survive as a the private playground for a handful of people

    Spot on!

    Its not that artifact gear is per se bad, its that its just terribly gated, like everything else in game is. There just is to much time grinding junk like this and not actually playing the game.

    That Tiamat set will be must have items for clerics, but how does one obtain these ? If they come from Tiamat how on earth is one supposed to ever get them ??? I have finished my Tiamat boons, but I have tried some mod 6 Tiamats for fun and they were all fails, and even if you win at Tiamat the drop rate of these in the chest will no doubt be a tiny fraction. To get them one has to basically have to have the luck of what is equivalent of winning 2 lottery jackpots on the same day.

    Judging by the downward spiral on the price of the Tiamat artifact, *someone* is winning against her, fairly often.

    This is the game, no content, only grind. I still do believe-, if they really want to save the game,- they need to bring back Mod 5 or get a real good bunch of fresh and experienced IT people on board. From a time and technical perspective the most easiest and best thing to do is a simple rollback. Mod 5 was thousand times better with all it's bugs, than things they have put out ever since or better said they have taken away. If future Mods keep this trend by Mod 9 we will only have a login screen and just PE to stand in.

    In my surroundings the news of Mod 7's repeated nullifying of old gear din't make a huge positive impact.

    Sadly, they are taking a very lazy approach. Instead of working on actual content, they work on just making things obsolete....

    Well, the bottom line is grinding new gear when there is no new content or anything worth farming is a waste of time. I don't see how they will retain any players after this one....

    I know roll back won't happen, mostly out of ego and PR reasons, but yeah i am too wondering, how long will they be able to keep teh remaining game population with zero game content and only just repeated grind for new weapons and armors.

    5% increase to healing is nothing. I won't be leveling new artifact gear for 5% more heals. Right now a Faithful cleric is wasting enough over heals, you won't even notice 5%. and Charisma is not a popular stat for clerics (even if it is a secondary stat).
