Specifically what new sets? New sets for end game gear? PvP sets?
so far all we have are pvp sets with set bonuses
Great call by you and the team to delay launch , gutsy and probably difficult decision.
PvE sets earned via dungeons. What's the plan for these?
What about the items that dropped there? Can they still be acquired somewhere else for the collection?
+2 extremely interested about this too , the lvl 70 selection of epic pve gear available before today's patch is somewhat lacking , only 4 sets in total all crafted and all still missing their set bonuses and barely any information at all about new lvl 70 dungeon/campaign sets.
I don't believe they will be available any more, no.
Been several threads and questions but back in Jan it was stated and I was taking a long break. But here is a recap for gentlmancrush stating about new gear sets.

Interesting. Is this also true for other (level 60) gear?
Oh well.
CW: Rodrant Turnbul
TR: Rodran
DC: Rodrat
GWF: ROARdrant TurnBRAWL
Other GWF: Shieldrant
HR: Bowdrant
SW: Wardrant Turnlock (my main!)
OP: Paladrant (on Preview!)
None of the new sets (except elemental) have set bonus. New Black ice gear is weird and has no tenacity or weapons available. and its called elven...
yup, lesson learned
I believe you're taking that out of context. He's not saying there won't be any new PvE dungeon sets, only they won't make us nearly as powerful as we are now...the progression curve is going to be steeper so that PvE content remains challenging longer.
So the question to Panderus is "What type of PvE equipment is dropping from Level 70 dungeons?"
well it is at least bought with glory and coins they all ready have so they will have a HUGE advantage over everyone else
i sudgest they have to farm new coins at least lv 60 coins/ glory shouldnt be for lv 70 gear
That's indeed the question all players are asking.... And i'm pretty much afraid to not see anything about it till now...
In fact, i'm afraid to just see blue and green trash from epic dungeons, as we used to see where there was MC and VT, but with maybe a bit more drop chance in fragments and artifacts, who knows? Maybe some RP at the chest...
i would really love to see updated T2!
same pvp then you should be allowed to use same currency. PvP didn't get any new content
wow so pvp is the only ones that dont have to farm new lv 70 content to get gear
See the second part./..in particular this "We will eventually be releasing gear that gets you back there, but not at launch of module 6. One of our primary goals with the new curves was give us better control over an end game progression and a long"
So definitely not out of context but need to read his entire post.
well then they changed there mind because pvp sets have bonuses and are all ready out but nothing about pve sets with bonuses
Yeah but surely the reworked lvl 70 dungeons must have gear drops ,otherwise what is the point in even going near them? unless they pay out some ridiculous amount of RP or something lol , plus I imagine people will probably expect gear of at least the equivalent quality to drop from pve as can be bought from pvping.
the point is why should we do the level 70 dungeons if there is no gear listed for it.
I will ask this way, r u planing to have this BI set (elven assult/warden) as new end game? So r u planing to force us to farm BI like crazy monkeys (with current refining amount of BI its a sad joke, i hope some1 will put u to those tasks, so u will understand), or maybe those other elven sets without even 4/4 in collection r our new end game? or maybe those r61 in WoD? What is droping in those new r70 epic dungs? plates? cups? new forks worth amazing 51 silver? U dare to use "endgame" in ur post, while we dont even have a shadow of endgame in this game? Or is this a well keept secred, to surprise us all (like this "surprise" with pvp a bit ago)?
Would u be so nice, and give us some specific piece of information? For now we r testing a rack of this clock...
(Sin)cerely

How is the "system" recognizing roles? Since GWFs, GFs and OPs can all be tanks, and DCs, SWs, and OPs can all be healers.... Problem is that the GWFs for instance can be DPS, and not tanks, and SWs can be DPS and not Healers... But if the content is designed around having a tank and healer but the que fills the tank and healer slots with DPS how will a win happen? I know in current content healers and tanks are not really needed, but it looks like it will be. Any elaboration would be appreciated.
Edit: Wow, yeah, there's Kessell's offering heaps of BI to refine. Yay!
