you dont see the whole picture its nice they made 2x rp event and all but if ppls use all their rp on old artifacts while mod 6 is behind the corner they wont have enough rp for new artifacts and in m6 you need way more RP than now.
This is so true. I'd like to refine if I had something to use for it. There's almost nothing to buy on AH lol. Not to mention the thing everyone already mentioned - new arti gear in M6.
It's still safe to upgrade artifacts and enchantments I guess.
M6 almost drains your soul given how boring it is. (c) joocycuzzzzzz
Actually, it's rather nice. I've been thinking about changing my cloak out for a Black Ice cloak, fits my build a lot better. This allows me to consider it without the massive lost in invested RP.

Can anyone provide a link to the new Artifact gear in Mod6? Or explain them. People are saying not to level up your artifact gear. I currently have the belt at nearly max level. I don't own a cloak yet. Should I level up to max my belt? I kind of want it maxed for the extra constitution.

There is one new Artifact Offhand on the ToD vendor on the preview server. No mention of it in any patch notes or by the devs. Right now, the doomsayers are casting lamentations of woe that ALL their Artifact Equipment will be obsolete. Which I doubt.
If you need to level your Artifact Equipment, level it.
Otherwise, until I hear the official word on new Artifact Equipment, I'm just ignoring it and playing the game I know.
For my CW I am planning on getting his artifact belt to Legendary if I can. (Right now it is in the high 40's)
For my DC I am planning on getting his artifact mainhand and offhand to purple if I can.
And for everyone I plan on upgrading enchants to at least level 7 on everyone, and artifact to as high as I can go.
I don't plan on getting any new artifact equipment for anyone but I do plan on upgrading what I have.
From preview at lest for the TR the new artifact offhand damage is vastly better than the current one the green 70 has the stats of the orange 60. so refining any artifact weapons would be a total waste.

And you have no idea if the stats will change or even if the items are set to be released. Without anything official it's all just useless speculation. For all you know this stuff will end up like the Drow armor sets, and end up held back for a later release.
This is a bonus, no one is hurt by this double refinement. If you want to save your refinement till mod 6 do it. Just because a 2x event is active does not mean you have to use it. People will still need regular enchants, people will still use artifacts etc. There is still use for refinement. If someone plans on changing main characters but feel like it would take way to long to get artifacts up to where they need to be, now is the time to do it.

Just to be clear.
The Artifact Weapons have been adjusted at level 60 to be more powerful, so they're in line with the stat changes coming in Module 6. If you look at your Artifact Weapon on Live vs Preview, you'll see that the one on Preview has more stats.
However, the off-hands HAVE NOT been adjusted yet. It's very possible that what you're seeing on the vendor is the "upgraded" status of Artifact off-hands, and likely what you'll see the existing ones changed to before Module 6 launches.

So we're not even sure if there is a new arti MH/OH or if they just getting new levels? If they have new ones, do we know if they're changing what happens when you feed arti equip to arti equip?
If indeed there are new regular artifacts, do we know if they're gated behind impossible RNG like Lockboxes are super, duper rare drops?
I plan to concentrate on my CWs belt first. I may even break down and bind belts for alts that Ive been saving because I didn't have enough RP to make them worthwhile.

there are threads with this in the preview forums
Also, I got my ability score belt and black ice cloaks to work on, so this isn't so bad. Glad I never wasted time on original arti weapon and offhand, man what a blow to BiS hunters that is. 2 months and better stuff released. ouch
Going to at least use it to try to get my rank 8s to rank 9s. Im not entirely sure what to do with the RP for artis equipment. In a situation where I know too little about mod6 to possibly waste such resources.
But itll be nice for the rank 9s and maybe to decide which 4th arti to upgrade, though again not sure cause maybe Ill want pally arti for 4th. Dont know yet.
The fog of war is thick, and Cryptic is tempting me to play my hand. May be better to wait till more info is known.

Yeah, I wouldn't worry about it they have plenty of time to fix all this and more before this goes live.
Actually I am expecting this 2x rp event and I expect a 50% chance there will be another one around the launch date of Module 6.
It is quite clear this 2x rp event is aimed at wasting the RP the players saved for the level 70 artifact gear in module 6. The loss is actually 20% instead or 60% with the 2x but nonetheless still a loss if you do use the RP on the soon to be outdated level 60 artifact gear.
It is not bad news if you plan to refine your regular artifacts or slot enchantments if they are not maxed yet.
For those who have all r10 enchantments and maxed artifacts and artifact gear, it is a non event except another few days to sell their RP hoards and refinement items for more.
It's nice to have a way to be a lot closer to legendary gear on at least one piece, just because it's a goal to shoot for. Myself, I'm nonplussed by the new gear offering in mod 6 and don't feel it's worth the outlay to upgrade at this time.
This describes my feelings on it as well, and I am honestly grateful for the event. I have a slew of things on my TR alt I have been building up for upgrade and this gives me the opportunity to make everything orange instead of just purple. Sweet!!
btw I can see reacting in true blunt unfiltered anger when you think you are going to be ripped off or have been ripped off, but no one is twisting anyones arm with this event! Why look a gift horse in the mouth?
Its a nice, well accepted event, timing just seems odd.
If we find out exactly what will happen to all arti gear in mod6, then timing is perfectly fine. But to leave that question unanswered going into the event leaves it open to criticism.

Pretty much. I'll risk leveling a cloak and a couple of Hoard enchants.

Been doing it sparingly over the past month and a half, but others aren't as fortunate.
