4 Expansions, new level cap to 70: Vital and curious questions

1) I have read some debate on this, but the question is: Is there any sense in updating any of my current gear via refining when a new tier piece is going to be available in less than a few weeks?

2) Will there be new artifact weapons for main hand and off hand? Im assuming so since these current weapons and gear scale to level 60...not 70. If that's the case, is there any sense at all in continuing to run Tiamat etc to get gear we know very well will be obsolete very soon. (yes, I know it will "help" get me to 70, but I can grind 10 levels in my sleep and am not concerned about the time vs investing more into gear I know will be tossed very soon)

3) Will there be new PVP gear? I assume there will be, once again, due to the current gear being all level 60. This is also vital to know so we don't continue the path of investing in our next piece of PVP gear for no reason. (again, im not concerned about the days it will take me to get to level 70)

4) Will the skill trees be dramatically changed or not? Will we get a free respec?

5) Do they FINALLY FOR THE LOVE OF GOD include more end game stats for PVP? Specifically, am I finally going to be able to see my healing I did in a match? Its always been a mystery why PVE end game screens show every single facet of what happened from kills, healing to damage taken to who had to go afk to take the dog out for a pisser and PVP shows you dirt. Kills, deaths, assists. That's it. Do they finally correct this 1990 oversight?

Anyone with real insight based on PC etc would be greatly appreciated to chime in.

Thanks.

    1. no save your refinement points, for your level 70 artifacts.

    2. i don't understand your question, but yes there will be level 70 mainhand and offhand..

    3. yes there will level 70 pvp gear..

    4. yes more feats will be added to skill trees, but idk if we will get free respec token.

    5. doubt it. but who cares pvp suks anyway

    #2 was simple. we have lvl 60 artifact weapons we are all currently acquiring and leveling, is there now going to be a campaign level 70 equivalent rendering these useless?

    #5 the people that are different from you who enjoy pvp, that's who cares. I could give a rat's a** about hitting mindless npc's and looking at who hit them most and for more in the end. see, everyones different. its amazing.

    Thanks though, sincerely, for your responses

    I actually went to the pc forum and asked alot of the questions you just asked. And based off what many said I can tell you. Don't do anymore refining into artifact equipment. You will only get 40% of the value when you refine your old artifact into the new one. Current regular artifacts will be scaled up to level 140 so refining those will be ok

    In regards to grinding in the Well. Yes continue doing it. You need your favors not only for the boons but when mod 6 launches we can buy the new artifacts right away and start refining them even thou we can't use them till lvl70. Each artifact equipment piece is still 15 favors. They also mentioned to me that the enemies in the Well will be scaled up to lvl70 as well. So tiamat runs just aren't going to happen very soon once it launches . So get your favors now while you still can.

    I didn't ask about pvp because I don't play it so sorry no info there

    About the skill trees. Yes it will be different in the case that will will need our power points saved up so we can start putting them into our new upgraded skills. There will NOT be any free respect. Sorry

    A couple of additional things they told me were. Do not focus on gear cause all our gear will be worthless. Including the new draconic templar stuff. We will be getting new green and blue items that will trump our current t2 stuff. They said focus on enchantments and getting them leveled up as high as possible. Get high level azure enchantments for the xp boost from utility slots. Another interesting piece of info was that each player will need 2 level 60 characters to complete a specific quest from an npc to unlock an epic piece of gear that will unlock account wide. No matter how many characters you have. So everybody will need 2 level 60 characters. If you want that epic item anyway.

    Now as long as they keep things the same as pc that should give us a head start. But they did announce already that the hp of enemies will b reduced along with damage output from them as well. And that we will also be getting more xp from missions than the pc world got so changes are already taking place. We will have to wait and see how the cards fall when it launches. But Ive already got my guild preparing for the above list of things they told me.

    I hope this helps and if you have any questions message me on xb1 gt Bleedin Blue75

    Now that's what I was looking for so huge, huge thanks.

    The areas I quoted above were big stuff imo and helps a lot. Thankfully, I already have 5 level 60's (YES, I play too much..hehe).

    There is one thing that I didn't understand there though and is quite important. What artifacts do you mean specifically when you say "current regular artifacts will be scaled to 140, so refining those will be ok". Do you mean actual power/union/stability artifacts? Like, the Imperial Rod of Restraint for example?

    Knowing this clarification will be a huge help as well.


    Again, huge thanks.

    The three artifacts that are equipped at the bottom of your gear tab. Those artifacts can currently go to 100, mod 6 they are increased to Mythic level which is 140.

    I wouldn't feed your legendary gear until it's double refinement. Just hit 70 and then feed your old gear into your new. Hope that it crits so your getting 80%+ crit bonus. It could take that gear to Legendary if your current gear is at Legendary now.

    Another tip... Either start farming or buy dragon gem/bone/steel to do campaign again to get your Lvl70 weapon day one too

    The pvp gear is level 60. Unless they've changed something. . Strongholds is the only pvp mod to come out after the level 70 cap. . So all pvp armor will be 60, but the stats are drastically different. . I know my CW will be sitting around 75k hp.

    So unless they change something for xbox, you can get the pvp gear day one. . Assuming you save have 50k glory cap, then just farm 30k more. . 27 seals as well.

    The Elemental Burning PvP gear doesn't require 70?

    There are guides out there already. You don't need to get your lv 70 artifact weapon from ToD. You get it free while leveling up in EE campaign.

    If you're making a joke about respect not being free, okay... if you're actually trying to say that there is no free respec, that's not true. There is a free respec, and IIRC from what I read from the PC guys, you will actually be forced to do it.

    When you respec are you able to change your class as well?

    A respec is feats and boons, a reroll allows a change in race (not class) and ability ratings.

    A Reroll only changes race, gender and ability stat roll. If you want to play as a different class you have to create a new character

    You cannot equip it until you reach level 70 but you can refine it correct ?

    Also you may need to do it a couple time to get the one you want.

    If this list is accurate then mod 6 only has one new weapon. The others come with stronghold mod

    Like I said, from what I was told. I just asked questions I didn't go reading their forums. If what someone told me from those forum was incorrect. Sorry. I was just relaying and trying to help. I was messaged by a couple of people and none of them said anything about a mandatory respec. But many said you will be respecing due to changes of Stat requirements. Not one of them said it was free.

    Correct. Pc didn't get their level 70 pvp armor until strongholds. Which just came out. The new pvp gear will be available day one. Unless they change something.

    I would expect a mandatory respec. Of course it would be free if they make us do it. As I recall hearing pc users received a free respec when mod 6 came out. Assuming the same will be in store for us.
  • fluffy6977fluffy6977 Member Posts: 291 Arc User
    Every single MMO I have ever played gives you a free respec when they change stat curves. This will change stat curves. If PW does not give a free respec then they will have an absolute riot on their hands. I expect it will be a forced respec where you will log in with power and feat points and have to redo them, and ability points post roll.
  • luigipr31luigipr31 Member Posts: 55 Arc User
    Hi! I read somewhere (looking where) there was a free mandatory respec in PC because some powers now go up to rank 4 and should be the same for Xbox. Just saying.

    Somethings you should know is the changes in Regen and Life Steal are going to be crucial. Also that reading for some PC players getting to 70 (those 10 levels you need) is more difficult. And if you thought like me that all the Overflow experience will go towards the new levels is not.

    "Any Overflow Experience characters currently have will be stored and returned to them upon reaching level 70, where they will again have the chance to obtain Overflow Experience." again from PC http://www.arcgames.com/en/games/neverwinter/news/detail/9080823
