What if WoW would implement completely different Gear system similar to ESO ?

[Joelthas-burning-blade]

Sry but it IS broken. Eso is much better in gearing system. Not only in it This catch up gear in wow is ridiculous, I feel like Im wasting my time gearing up when gear I obtain is useless next patch lol. I guess I will never play wow again. Eso is the new king

Eso is much better in gearing system.

It’s way, way worse. I’ve played ESO when it launched, never again.

@Joelthas-burning-blade

That’s literally how it has always been

@Joelthas-burning-blade

Eso is the new king

If you enjoy a buggy game with a god awful combat system with p2w elements I suppose that’s your choice.

[Joelthas-burning-blade]

Haha sure, if u played it only in 2014 u cant say anything Wow is on other side dead and bad, only addicts play it, servers are dead, combat is boring compare to all others MMos, and tons of other things… U must admit to yourself its really outdated game and worthless to do anything. Just admit that as I did and you can continue

Or we could just run around naked with a leaf in front of our privates so we dont have to have a discussion about how the scaling system should work.

@Joelthas-burning-blade

Wow is on other side dead

And this is where I stopped reading. it’s not even close to death

Im playin ESO and the gear systems is one of the few things i dont like.
Its true the gearing sys of wow is updated but is cuz isnt possible to change this core content in itinere

[Kazachka-lightbringer]

Chaotic scaling isn’t the best way to make TBC rades actual again.
I would rather have more time walking events than all zones have same gear…
But it would be nice if you could choose to enter a zone as a time Walker ( almost like now you have npc to pick a 120 or 20-60 darkshore ).

[Arenko-blackmoore (Arenko)]

No it’s broken but eso system wouldn’t fix it…

I think that if you like ESOs system so much, you should play ESO.
WoW has its’ own system and it works just fine.

I have to agree with this. WoW is a different game with a different system.

[Sholah-hyjal]

Outside of whether the ESO loot system would be better than WoW’s i don’t think it would be wise to change it.

One of WoW strenght is that it didn’t really fondamentally change in 14y. You still quest and kill mob to lvlup, kill players, get gear, run dungeons or raids and so on.

A returning player from vanilla or BC would be surprised should he log in today, but would quickly adapt. You can come back anytime and allways find the game you knew.

Some might argue the game is worse than ever and rant about everything but it mostly stayed the same over the years and is imo one of the reason you see such spike in player count everytime a new expansion is released.

[Voodoodle-doomhammer]

Ever played lotro? I love the quests and stories, but can never play long because of the combat system (Movement system in general actually)

@Velaeda-argent-dawn

I think the idea is to make all content relevant again.

Right now about 90% of WoW’s content is “useless” considering gear progression.

Exactly this.
With the new gear system you would be encouraged to play different content to get a specific set or gear.
Each different set of gear could give different stats, and different extra effects or active spells to use.

@Rondakungfu-stormscale

If wow was similar to eso, i would uninstall.
Keep the same gear for 1-2-3 years depending class/build/role, you kidding me?

It will be on you to change the gear and discover all possible builds that comes with new gear sets with different bonuses and effects. Discovering new strength of the character is way more entertaining then going for new gear over and over again.
It is actually better than a never ending circle of getting new gear and complaining about it each patch because blizzard did worse then earlier.

Yah, never worked better. That’s why the sub numbers have never been higher.

yep exactly the same said by ZoS and all players end up using the same set regardless the class. Also the same happened to previous wow expansions with multiple builds ending up almost the vast majority of players using the same build.

ESO is a joke since day one, tanks dpsing, healers dpsing and tanking, dpsing healing and tanking…Thats completely unbalanced garbage. Me tanking with offhand resto staff(LOL) and earthgore mask and my 3 dps friends run an over 40k vet dragonstar arena by simply exchanging heals and completely diminishing the healers role in the game, if you wanna bring this to WoW is like asking for its destruction.

Cant even understand why you compare the most successful MMO like wow to one of the most failed MMO’s out there ESO.
