New World Expansion Gear Changes are HUGE!

Prepare for Starfield and upgrade your PC with AMD rebrand.ly/BagginsTV-YT

[@michaelv8194]

I understood the weapon attribute balance differently. The greatsword benefits equally from strength and dex. But the longsword benefits mostly from strength and less from dex. The other weapons have a similar unbalance. I think the update will address this.

[@pennyfirestone]

This is what I was thinking too.

[@propersod2390]

I was thinking that at first but nope, they were talking about attributes on gear I'm pretty sure. It also would tie in with what they said after which is they want to remove some craft mods (probably including the split stat ones)

[@vanyel_etc8695]

​@@propersod2390hopefully they mean both, attribute perks play a core role in build diversity

[@michaelv8194]

@@vanyel_etc8695 I hope they mean both as well. Would be a good question for QA

[@JDog_Unchained]

​@@propersod2390I think they also meant attributes on the gear

[@Jesus831ca]

If they remove resilient vicious perk is gonna be bis again imagine all the people that dropped lots of gold into enchanted perk for pvp

[@InvidiousApple]

Pretty sure the weapon attribute balance isn't having stats be 50/50 on weapons. I believe it will be like the greatsword. So for instance rapier will scale off intelligence and dexterity equally.

[@k1ngmack413]

So overall, we gonna need to get all new gear to play same content still.

[@Nicho_]

think these are good changes all around. as a more casual pve player i'm glad to see that i can start clearing out my storage from some of these useless items. great vid and hope fellow healers can see some changes in our gear sets : )

[@MegaSkillz101]

8:01 Baggins dropping those gang signs

[@iByRaMa]

"If you could buff any perf"... Any lifestealing perk like Trenchant Recovery or Leeching Flurry, as a solo player a lot of the enemies feels like a nightmare just to do an endgame side quest mission. Or make it so the chacacter doesn't get staggered by random mobs. You get into an elite zone, 3 mobs start swinging at you and you can't throw any abilities because they keep canceling them out so you gotta farm for the items you want by killing one mob at a time... But this is just a request from a solo player, i'm sure there will be a lot of veterants thinking "bUt dUdE iT's EaSy..."

[@jakenbake8855]

Try using abilities that have grit and pumping up your con.

[@iByRaMa]

@@jakenbake8855 i do, but sometimes it's just not enough.

[@giskard000]

Was I the only one worried when they spoke on life staff perks and suggested different perks for different boss types (eg those with lots of dot attacks)? On the one hand, they say they remove ward/bane to stop the need for gear swapping and gear checks to get an invite, but it sounds like they're potentially migrating this mistake over to healers? I don't see an issue with a *single* bis perk like blessed. Yes, everyone will want you to have it, but at least it's applicable across the board. Then you can have secondary perks to round yourself out to your playstyle. Most definitely I don't want to be in a situation where I need to collect a bunch of different life staffs and swap between them for different mutations. It was painful for armor, I really hope AGS doesn't make the same mistake with life staff,

[@sonnykhang5759]

That's exactly what I thought. That's like the bane issue all over again, but this time for heals instead of dps

[@tarterustillhavingnodreams8351]

I don’t know if everything they plan is going to turn out good, but I wouldn’t say a thing against it because they deserve encouragement in effort fixing the foundations of the game, either exp system or gear system. These things can be challenging to make changes, but as long as they keep trying, I’m happy.

[@Jesus831ca]

New world is like an extremely volatile market on every update there’s winners and losers XD 😂

[@frankfurter1580]

the best part about getting rid of ward IMO is getting rid of the need to have a different full set for every expedition. making the barrier for entry (for m10) way too challenging for most players. unfortunately, Linking gear will absolutely never go away.. however this will be far less of an issue to have good enough gear as you only have to focus on acquiring one or two good sets after this update. Not to mention this will make BiS items far more interesting instead of one perk always being taken up by a bland niche damage increase/decrease.

[@thrust4252]

Nice! Haven't played in ~8 months, but this and checking out the patch notes sound like great changes. Re-downloading it now!

[@JDog_Unchained]

@BagginsTV You should make a video on where/how to get the best looking transmog sets for new world.

[@davidadan1993]

I wonder why they dont implement an inspect function if they want to get rid of the link gear thingy

[@natehiggers42069]

Replacing must-have Resilient with the new must-have "health" is actually just dumb...

[@arne6709]

Thank god, I just reached GS 600 and I was not going to get full armor sets with every single ward

[@tarterustillhavingnodreams8351]

Finally this is finally here, it took them this long to do this but I am appreciative of it

[@78thephoenixking37]

I understand that indestructible is gone for armor and weapons, but are they going away for tools as well?

[@onlyshelton]

I think this will in turn open up more gear slots instead of having a bunch of ward sets, we can put different weapons and builds

[@engec7065]

This might help with all the loadouts as well especially if your a crafter who has a loadout for all your crafting gear

[@darthhiirokin1603]

Is the a New world transmog section coming to the database. or another site being made

[@Hippida]

You know, if they actually stopped after saying, we're getting rid of ward and bane, I wouldn't have felt I missed anything. Wasn't much very concrete beside ward/bane news here tbh

[@So_Wan]

The game from what i heard from you is taking a good way . I stopped 6 months ago and was there day1 Sometime when i watch your vid i thing it could be cool to come back

[@W9HJBill]

Looks like the Shard sellers are going to have to find a new gig.

[@nate8383]

As long as they don't delete Mortal Siphoning. That's my favorite.

[@liveddevile]

So what is gonna happen to gs625 items can they be upgraded should we even upgrade gs590 named 🤔

[@markmettles9148]

what happens with the trophies?

[@botta88]

I hate to say it but removing banes won’t fix gatekeeping. The core problem with gatekeeping is the people. They will find some other stat/weapon/perk to gatekeeping off of. Even if it’s a 1% benefit gain they will still do it.

[@snowballingnunu6251]

Shields also feel like they suffer from the same mandatory perks, give some love to the tanks, gear score increase + no ward/bane will bring me fully back to the game, if only i could have more free gear slots

[@IL_Bgentyl]

Im hype. The only issue with newworld imo is it needs log books to show boss, mobs, and so endlessly.

[@pepeisgod1057]

really looking forward to these changes

[@herkderk123]

As a new player with severe gold limitations, I actually enjoyed researching specific named pieces in order to make my way into mutations. I appreciate the thinking behind the changes, but fear that new crafted gear with refreshing+ weapon perks will become new king. This may be an even stricter gear requirement for those that don't have the funds.

[@lifeandpryce2470]

Ya gotta do the gold grind lol get that money up.

[@vanyel_etc8695]

Nah don't sweat it buddy, it's all good. Their goal is to make gear score the defining factor to getting into groups, and making these perks subjective. So for example for VG, voracious blade. Great for survivability during solo PvE or expeditions that you over gear. It's essentially the "if you have void blade out lots, this gets value" perk. No one is going to kick you for having it, it's a perk you run if you like it. There will be more stuff you can get for yourself depending on whether you like it as opposed to "have this or gtfo"

[@JoyP09]

So whats going to happen to our current gear with Resilient perk? Also, whats going to happen to our GS600 gear?

[@filiphanzer9277]

There will be new Tier 6 gear and all gear u have now will be obsolete. This is coming from leaks

[@JoyP09]

@@filiphanzer9277 Thanks for your response. Our existi g gear will continue to have Resilient right? Its just the new tire gear that wont have them. This is what I understood. Any idea whether OPR caches will drop tire 6 gears?

[@Doctahjay4]

@bagginstv What are your thoughts with players switching the ___ ward gear, with mutation specific perks such as "Flame Conditioning" ? I know that these perks weren't as sought after, but I could see players gatekeeping with survivability perks moving forward too

[@BagginsTV]

It's entirely possible that "link ward gear" gets replaced with "link health gear" or "link conditioning gear", I'm afraid :(

[@lifeandpryce2470]

Guess the potions are going to skyrocket on the TP. I like all these changes because it kind of in a way puts us all somewhat equal if that makes sense.

[@JoeyXBloody]

I'd say its fairly good more general perk is fine instead of being forced to have a set for each mutation. It will also make gear easier to sell because someone might not care for a angry earth ward but if its gone and its just hp then he's going to buy it. As for pot well its fine too its a community driven economy stocking up / crafting pots is far more reasonable for a casual player than it is to gather 1 full set of each ward/bane to attempt.those end game activities number balancing is on their side either they nerf the dmg to compensate for the loss of ward or they make potion far more potent so then all you need is to have your clan/yourself craft a healthy amount of pots at the start of the week

[@johncrane5001]

Does replacing mean replace on all our current gear, or does it mean all future drops will now have HEALTH instead of WARD? I so badly want to delete half the shitty ward gear ive been hoarding, but don't think I will just yet..

[@cghul7315]

It literly said replace

[@jungenervnicht6512]

Awesome video, thank you 🙂did they already announce if the expansion is free or do you have to buy it?

[@BagginsTV]

No word on whether it's paid or free yet

[@Riishy1hunid]

I am thinking about getting back into new world!

[@Yem1010]

"Link gear before Ill get You into my group" sadly wont go away. For high M+ People You will just have to link "new" perfect 625 gear. Everyone I know already got full wards and bane sets, and getting more and more wards was natural progression in doing dungeon's.Also, no one really required wards and bane on M1-4. This change will work for "new players" i guess.

[@tobias1075]

Indestructible wasn't too bad for tools, wasn't great, but wasn't completely useless

[@SollomonTheWise]

I want war mages who can prepare group spells like in happy wars

[@JROCThaGreat]

It will reduce the amount of gear but will also be a slight nerf. This will be interesting for sure. I may check it out

[@Conniesta]

im hoping these changes help my life staff healer

[@Gul_DukatDS9]

It's good to know they're getting rid of wards. They're only about two years too late.

[@SollomonTheWise]

650 GS?

[@Lynnerik1467]

Removing wards will make it easier to gear, but peoole are kidding themselves if they think people still won't have mandatory perks for dungeons. There will alwaysbbe a tier system, especially for peoole who want to speed run.

[@lemps....9350]

I love the change !

[@henryangle5308]

I’ve been stuck at 615 expertise for the longest time with no desire to grind higher knowing the awful ward and bane experience I really hope this changes that feel for me and everyone else feeling this too

I want stamina. Let me make a dancer

[@Carnivore69]

So what I heard was "Our attempts to add content vs fix/finish isn't working out. So rather than fix/finish, we're going to remove that content in the hopes that we appear to be "listening" to those that still like to punish themselves by playing a game that is 2 years behind in focusing attention to the fixing and the finishing. (... and get ready for more dupe bugs, input lag, and economy breakage!)". Fair summary? ;)

[@DMM_Fan]

Where is Gear progression and Itemization Rework ? Together with removing GS because we are moveing to lvl 70 cap

[@atomicsymbol2917]

man, I hope they change crit around and make keen and keen awareness more valuable, tired of running rogue, bane :/

[@sian1of2]

Not enough solo content for progression.

[@karolwyrebiak135]

@BagginsTV - Is there any chance that you could enquire as to why they are removing bane gear but adding specific situation gear like : AOE / SOLO / DOTS etc it seems like we are going one shitty system to another. We will be moaning about healers not having AOE heal gear or dps not having single target gear etc if this system goes ahead

[@vanyel_etc8695]

I think you're over thinking it. Just because something makes for slightly better heals in a specific fight doesn't make it necessary.

[@karolwyrebiak135]

@vanyel_etc8695 true ! But you know how people are .... they will find the meta based on these new perks and not allow other playstyles . I think gear with fixed perks is more boring but at least stable . They could focus on horizontal progression after you atain BIS gear . I just don't want to go from one system which didn't work to another . I just have a feeling that they are trying to overdo it again

I really wish at this point it was the big reset, and they were announcing the official release of the new world.

[@OverlandingArmyVeteran]

I wont lie removing Wards and Banes is just one of many reasons I left the game.. I want to say I have played since Beta, I am.. No was one of the top crafters on my server... Before everyone starts yelling that I am an idiot... Let me explain. YOU DO NOT NEED ward gear until M7s maybe even M8s.. Everyone cries about no end game content, but getting WARD gear is end game content it gives you something to work for... The problem is everyone wants everything right now.. but the problem is when you get everything right now there is nothing to go get then you compaline there is nothing in the game. Replacing them Health is dumb, I run M10s with 8k health and dont die... There are many other things wrong with the game, the Devs listen to the people who are crying about 5% of the players and you don't listen to the majority. People didn't stop playing because of ward gear... The so called expansion isn't an expansion, Brimstone wasn't an expansion so why do you call this one. Expansions add things don't take things away... WHY remove First light and not just add a new zone... DUMB.... If this "Expansion" fails, this game will fail this is the so called last chance so many people are giving them... Anyway good luck all, find me in Starfield.
