I've heard conflicting stories about the pvp changes. Most people seem to say that the gear is great but way too easy to get, basically making shard gear and most raid gear worthless. In other words, why group up for instances or raid when you can get this new pvp stuff in no time at all? What are your thoughts Theo? Here is a short post on the subject which was recently deleted from the EQ2 official forums.
"Are you sick of having to rely on 23 other people to get the best gear in the game? Are you sick of having to rely on a group to get shard armor out of TSO herioc zones? Nagafen has the solution to all your armor problems! If you play now you can get a FULL set of armor in 3 days of casual play (2 days if you have higher playtimes.)You might wonder how is this possible? Well thanks to the amazing changes of GU53 you can now SOLO and get a full set of armor that is just barely below the quality of TSO raid armor that requires 24 people to learn a script and execute it, all in hopes of getting 1 piece of armor for 1 person.
Excited yet? I know I am, here are some examples of how amazing this solo gear can be. Dont pvp? It doesnt matter! The tokens are heirloom which means you can transfer them to an alt you just got to level 80, you never have to take that character out of an instance in its life! A little background on the writ system for players excited about joining Nagafen but not sure where to start. You get a pvp writ (in the form of a quest) that requires you to kill 6 people. You kill those 6 people and get 5 tokens. You cannot get a new writ for 10minutes, 30 tokens an hour. Most people on Nagafen already had a large token pool from pvping for the past 8 months, if you had 1 TSO token you can exchange it for 5 new discord tokens (introduced in GU53) Which means if you had 100 old tokens you now have 500 new tokens. But dont worry! If you are new to the server you can pvp for 2-3 days and have a full suit of amazing armor! Just hit as many AoE's as you can and everybody gets that update!"
