Where is the new gear we were promised by timetraveling in this GU?? I'm on a pve server and tired of the fact my locked 80 toons have 3 pieces of pvp jewelry available on the merchant. I saved almost 200 of every token for this update so i could get some more jewelry/weapons...

DittoAlso i was wondering, those 3 pieces you can equip at 80, they are equipable in more than one slot type. Wondered if you can buy and equip multiple of the same one?

Greetings,We will be adding more items to our merchants, but not until later updates. Until then, please take some time and give me feedback on the various PvP weapons we currently have and any pros and cons so that we can avoid the cons in making our new weapons.What will be added at the lower levels is also still to be determined. Thank you!Olihin

There are holes across the tiers. No idea if/when anything of this type of thing will get loooked into.

How about instead of adding new ones you actually give us the ability to use the existing ones??? Just looking at the most logical idea considering ton of items on the pvp merchant that isn't available for BGs on other servers.

Seriously, the items have been "tested," and they are already available on a couple servers. Just toss them on the BG merchant for a price so people who "BG" level themselves actually have more than 3 pieces of jewelry at 80... You already have BG items for sell for discord tokens, use the same conversions to sell pvp items for BG tokens.

Thats why i said stop worrying about making new gear, use the existing stuff then fix the system.. If you want to add more gear than get whats there fixed and pushed across all servers.

There is quite a bit of stuff being changed and fixed for Battlegrounds. Once we have a set list of things being done, I will make sure to post and it will hopefully resolve some of your concerns. In the meantime, if the weapons are not in your level range to comment on, the request does not apply to you. That is why I added that lower level additions are yet to be determined. Thank you for your patience while we continue to prioritize our tasks for the coming updates. Olihin

I'm not posting to be offensive to you Olihin and sorry if it is coming off that way. The point i'm trying to bring across is the pvp servers can buy BG gear for pvp tokens, so why can't we buy pvp gear for BG tokens?? There is a ton of gear already made for low levels, but it's not available to anyone not on a pvp server. Put those items on the BG merchant and finally even out BGs across all levels.

Well it's good to see a dev found his way to the BG forums which were devfree for too long, that's a good start.I'm scared about the 'quite a bit of things being fixed' comment though. That statement never brings me confidence when it comes from SOE <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> Like how they 'fixed' the UI today, then I had to spend an hour re-'fixing' it back to it's original state.Honestly, they took too long to 'fix' anything at this point. Wardens have been overpowered beyond belief for months. Crusaders and Zerkers are also really nasty. Are they going to nerf those classes and frustrate those who spend many, many hours building them up? That's just wrong, and I say that as someone who hates facing off against Wardens.I can definitely say i'll be done with BG's if they 'fix' Warlocks more than they already have, and i'm sure many classes feel the same... unless they allow us to sell off our gear at cost (which they won't).

You have to have thick skin to post in here, and I appreciate you making the effort to do so.Just for clarification, are you asking for feedback on weapons only or on all the BG gear?

Im not sure what is the concern here. I have every slot filled with BG gear, and Im from najena.

If you had a character level 85 and decided you wanted to BG you have 3 pieces of jewelry you can buy off the BG merchant till 90. On pvp servers there is a full selection of level 80 gear available. And some pieces are better imo than whats on the BG merchant.

Brawlers and priests would appreciate it if you added some level 90 2handed weapons to the pvp merchants. Something like this maybe:<img src="http://img638.imageshack.us/img638/3277/capturecyt.jpg" width="306" height="608" />

Please add the PvP wrists and earrings to the Tier 4 Battlegrounds merchant.Currently, you cannot complete the Set Bonus on the Bg jewelry at this level, 5 pieces are required and there are not enough available to pull it off. You can buy neck, waist, and rings, and still come up one short. The Wrists and Earrings already available on the PvP servers would complete the Tier 4 items, and should be added to Merchant.Thank you for being aware of this issue, and for asking for feedback! Very appreciated, though I had been hoping like others that it was going to be corrected with GU57. Still, the fact you are asking means a lot, and I look forward to the new items tremendously.Oh, and while you're at it.. someone should look into the lower Tier PvP weapons being an option as well. I see them in Tier 4, and they are pretty [Removed for Content] nice. Any reason those aren't an option as well?(EDIT: made some words huge and red, better visuals never hurt.)

At least support the decisions you have made with the alternate paths you have given the classes.
