Removing Ward and Bain gear not only helps the player base, but also frees up the Devs to mix in multiple enemy types in future expeditions.

Just a quick note, at the end of the video where you show your youtube supporters, a video preview image showing another one of your videos in the lower left quarter of the screen covered up most of the names. Big shoutout to all those that support your work, and I hope you'll continue with great videos in the future. Cheers

Hope they split scaling in equal portions also.
Not just the split on gear

like a hatchet scales 50-50 om str and dex. and rapier 50-50 dex and int. like the greatsword does.

Thats good to hear there is no gear reset and only a gear score cap increase. That is good for the player base from the very beginning and keeps the game fresh. Hope there is no gear reset as the game was fairly balanced at launch. Will be returning to the game for this expansion. All the best 🙏🏽

the new health perk will be the new must have instead of ward lol

[Shamus]

Can't wait to see what happens to my double ward gear, hopefully it gets double health perks.

[FeedinGG]

So what happens to resilient? Is my 3 perk bis gear gona be 2 perk? Or will they remvamp it as like with ward? What will happen whent theres no crit defensives and muskets hit you for 5k a shot? XD

[michaloo]

What's gonna happen to all removed craft mods? They gonna change them for something else or just deletem from inventory?

I watch a streamer regularly called 'Big Bad Jay' and he told me there is a 107% chance of a trailer dropping tomorrow. His dad works at AGS.

[Cernunns]

Im worried were going a bit too casual with this... Optimizing your gear with the perfect perks is what gives you long term goals.

[JoyP]

What GS Gear will OPR drop after changes are implemented? Any idea?

[everlonggaming]

What about gear currently in game. will there be gear up to 625 with the old useless perks? Like the res/ bane gear you currently. will the perks change on that gear be changed?

[GRNday]

Where exactly they say Resilient will be removed? And how are they planning to do that with all the bis gears we all have?

[No_Fair_Play]

Anyone up for more conspiracy theories regarding Season 3?

Perks:
- Since ward/bane/resilient will be removed
- They also will remove all the different elemental damage types. Why? Because they already removed elemental dmg versus PvE enemies, plus with "Elemental Aversion" in place you have one defensive Perk to cover all. Therefor it will be only universal Elemental Damage in Future.

Crafting:
- Legendary Mats like Runic Leather, Asmo aso but also Scarabs will be new T6 crafting Mats
- Timeless shards will be updated to T6 as well since there are already new crafting pattern for lower level in place
- They will remove some of the Gems and Rune Glasses (Elemental ones)

Dungeons:
- There will be higher levels for the beginning, so you can run Laza M20 in Future^^

If they remove Resilient they should remove the reason why we use resilient: CRITICAL HITS.
Also, the "double standard" Attributes need to begone as well.

4:30 there the guy have 765 Gearscore with green items BRO

[MrKarlosaak]

Well honestly the expansion is gonna have to be super exciting and full of content otherwise a lot of people including myself will just not bother after having millions of coin worth of gear completely invalidated.

[Jhyro-]

If today or tomorrow they throw a dev stream... Im gonna do a fucking backflip

[McDudes]

Resil is gone but we got the new permanent must have perk "health"?
Also I hope for dear gamer gods that they changed crit too or some weapons are gonna do mega dmg...

[MOKAD]

Very good news. Ward and bane killed the game for me. No one do dungeons muta because they dont have ward and bane gear. Now it will be good.
