New! The Season 9 Main sets have been added to Exile and Eternal. Season 9 off-set pieces and weapons will be added over the next few weeks as they become available.

Due to feedback from the community we will be implementing the following changes in the next couple days.

Eternal :: Changing starting gear from Savage Gladiator to Deadly Gladiator.
Exile :: Changing starting gear from Savage Gladiator to Deadly Gladiator.
Eternal & Exile:: All additional gear on off-set vendors (Feet, Wrist, etc) with an iLevel of 213 or less will also be made free as part of this starter set.
Redemption :: Will not be getting the custom PVP set.

Sounds good. Thanks

I foresee a lot of pissed off donors here.

Herm... If your not going to put the new set in redemption, I think you should once again remove Furious Gladiator availability to all players or else donors are not going to have the advantage they paid for.

- thanks

Great... I agree with no more custom gear on redemption I think that "we" the donors have enough advantadge with S8 against the most of people here with t7, furious and green chars and the s8(head, chest, pants, hands and shoulders) now is not easy to get btw.. it will take months to see ppl with full s8 by normal way(arenas), so it`s ok for me.... About eternal and exile I think it is ok ur decision.

Genezer, I do hope you're not referring to the same Furious set that my Hunter (your guildmate) is busting her hump in the BGs to get. Remember, not all of us are fortunate enough to have extra money to spend on donor items, so do have a little consideration for us working players...

[chillitarier]

absolutely right,I was farming honor with my ally dk and man it was a struggle,and you was happy as fucc to have furious chest and head^^

well I had payed for s9 custom but....

I agree with this here...

no more custom gear^^

the shard trinkets for attack power dps are already wayyyy too imbalanced in pvp sine u dont need ANY more hit rating in any gear or gem....makes me with 1437 resilience an ugly dk machine in pvp....

so....I just wanted to say THANK YOU @ staff for listening to communitys opinion and the changes are AWESOME
everyone and his grandfather is trying to farm arena rating,points and honor points....

wrathful set is back to 1800 rating needed and off set wrathful stays at 1400 which makes pvp VERY interesting atm...all the good ally players stack and rocking the bgs while horde struggles to keep up....so exciting
before the changes only the weak allies were queueing for rbgs u just made the experience even more awesome here on redemption....

funkmode<<<<<<captain of johnny walker,peace out to ciganin,caliburn and carljohn for rockin redemptions 2v2 rating atm

eternal forever lol

I repeat: There are those of us who can't afford (or have no way to) donate, therefore this would make it completely one-sided for us non-donors.

What will? Starting everyone off with better gear?

Or not having a custom PVP set on Redemption?

I am a little confused since we closed the gap in both cases?

[Ryuudan]

Let the voices of the people be heard!

I play on redemption, but I PvP there as well. I'm working towards the Furious set for my Hunter. If that's taken away, then what will she have?

What are you talking about? Furious was not mentioned at all.....

[thebonx]

You guys fucking rock. This is exactly what I would have wanted for Redemption. I love the fact that non donors can catch up with donors. You have really made pvp on Redemption come to life again. The bgs are getting more fun, people are doing arena, it's just amazing. I'm really glad you made the decision to not put the custom gear here on Redemption. I'm just curious, what convinced you against it?

[chillitarier]

nah man....as long as there is enough money for the server,I say the way it is right now is the best...

if u plan custom gear s9 then dont make it too imbalanced....
furious,relentless,wrathful,all obtainable through (hard) grinding...
why remove any pvp gear?
donors STILL have full wrath set which no one else (non-donor) will have anytime soon....
maybe in 6 weeks investigate the case again...
until then,let the rocks roll^^^^

I was referring to a previous comment my guildmate made (the one I quoted earlier) I wasn't talking about official statements made by the staff.

I'm sure they'd rather keep their community happy.

And if we can avoid being butthurt while keeping the community happy all the better!

[strity24535]

i was planning to donate a couple hundred bucks for better gears on my toons but seeing this announcement, screw donation!!!!!! we gonna have new nice gears in game lol NICE

[Evcon]

I must admit, I am more than confused here.

Why are you making a more balanced PvP system on a PvE realm? While offering an unbalanced system on a realm that focuses on PvP? This seems very backwards to me. I think Eternal shouldn't be plagued with custom gear. Blizz-like > custom. Even though I have the trinkets, I think we should get rid of them too on Eternal. Make your PvP realm more balanced.

Here is my rationale:
Donors can dominate arenas if they are decent simply because of their gear. On Redemption, if you get tired of losing to donors, you can go PvE. On Eternal, if you get tired of losing to donors, you log off.
